Chapter 21

FREYAThe words didn't hit me at first. I sat there, staring at Leo whose jaw ticked angrily. “You are going to stay married to me because I refuse to apologize to your mistress?” I repeated, trying to ensure he understood just how ridiculous he sounded. His fingers balled into fists. “Yes, Freya. I will do exactly that. If you want do divorce so desperately, then agree.” There was a force pressing desperately into my ribs. I wanted to scream how absurd it all was, but why bother? “Fine then. I won't. You can't force me. But be reminded, if we do not divorce, then you can't marry Caroline.” With those final words, I turned away from Leo, and looked out of the window. I could feel his gaze burning into the side of my face, but I kept my face turned away, until with an irritated grunt, he asked the driver to move. The silence between us stayed taut and tense. When we reached the house, I climbed out of the car and hurried inside. I had embarrassed myself enough with Leo. I would

Chapter 22

FREYAMy pulse quickened and my back went taut. I sat forward, meeting his eyes squarely. I had done nothing wrong, I reminded myself. I had nothing to be afraid of, though Leo’s steely gaze said differently. “Derek? Isn't it tradition for a visiting Alpha to first be welcomed by the Alpha whom he visits?” Leo questioned, his eyes blazing with anger. “You assume I came here for you, Leo.” Derek answered dismissively. Leo’s jaw ticked and he circled around the table to me. “So you came here for my wife?” Derek rolled his eyes, baring his teeth in a smile that held no humor. “Your wife? Doesn't your contract with her expire in three days? And I see she's wearing no ring on her finger. Aren't you presumptuous to still call her your wife?” Leo’s gaze zeroed in on my fingers. My throat tightened when an irritated grunt erupted from his chest. Leo pointed at the door, glaring at Derek. “Until the divorce papers are signed, Freya is still my wife. Leave us.” Derek’s features tightened

Chapter 23

FREYAI watched him go. At the door, he stopped and turned to glare at me. I glared right back, deciding I was done. “The only way I'm leaving this room is if you drag me with you.” I told him stubbornly. Sighing as though I was trying his patience, he turned, rounded my desk and swept my feet off the floor. A yelp burst from my lips as I fell forward over his shoulders. Without a word, he marched to the door, completely ignoring my protests. “What are you doing, Leo? Let me go.” I panicked, struggling against him. Leo had me tipped over his shoulders, my stomach right beside his head. There was no way he would not scent his cub being so close. The thoughts caused me to panic and I kicked my leg forward and backward, but it was all useless. Leo placed his arms over my legs and held them still. He walked that way through the hospital and to the door of his car. The hospital staff were just walking out and each turned to stare after us. It had to be the most humiliating moment o

Chapter 24

FREYAThat night, I just couldn't sleep. The fight between Leo and I kept me awake, especially because Aurelia kept whining. Leo and I had argued before, but none had ever been so brutally angry. By dawn, my eyes burned from staying awake, but sleep wouldn't come to me still. I showered and went downstairs for breakfast. Caroline was already seated at the table, nursing a cup of tea. She looked up when I stepped in. Her lips lifted into a smirk. “Oh, there you are, Luna. I heard you and Leo had a fight about me last night. What must it have been about?” Seeing her worsened my mood by a large degree, but I forced myself to ignore her. She wasn't worth it. I ignored her, walking to the breakfast buffet already laid out. She stood, pulling her shawl around her delicately. I heard her giggle gently, her voice lowering into a whisper. “I've told you, Leo is mine. He will always take my side. You're fighting a losing battle trying to rip us apart.” “Caroline?” I turned to her, smiling

Chapter 25

FREYAIt took me ten minutes to walk from the pack house to Leo’s office. During that time, I bolstered my courage. Half way there, I almost changed my mind. Did I really need to return the ring to Leo? It wasn't that important. But going to Leo’s office wasn't really about the ring. It had more to do with Leo threatening not to sign the divorce papers. I needed the papers signed before I left the pack. Arriving at the office, I stood outside, remembering just three weeks ago when I'd first run into Caroline at his office. I’d been a fool, blinded by love, begging a man for just a smidge of attention. The thought left a bitter coat on my tongue as I knocked on the door and pushed it open. My lips curled into a sneer as Caroline and Leo sprang apart. Leo's temperament became rigid at once. He glared at Caroline who wilted under his attention. I ignored the tension between them and walked slowly to the desk. Despite the uncaring attitude I displayed outwardly, my thoughts were a m

Chapter 26

FREYAI didn't allow myself to spiral. Why bother trying to deduce what thoughts Leo had in that cold head of his? I would be wasting my time. Instead, I focused my attention on work. There was a lot to be done before I left in three days. First, I finished all my reports on the research into the soldiers infection. Whoever took over from me would need a clear roadmap of what my team and I had done. Done with that, I left the office and headed out to meet Lizzy. I hadn't seen her in almost a week, and I missed my best friend. When I arrived at the pack hospital, I went up to my own office and dropped my tote bag. I had threatened Leo with a meeting with my divorce lawyer, so I needed to find a lawyer who would be willing to stand up against Leo. Derek could help with that. I stroked my stomach, smiling down at my belly. I would also need a doctor's appointment soon to ensure my baby was growing as it should. The door opened behind me without a knock and Lizzy hurried in. She came

Chapter 27

FREYAJoel’s arms around me was like being transported back to my childhood. Joel had been my father's friend for as long as I could remember. He, my father and Lizzy’s father had been best friends. That was before he suddenly left the pack, and soon after, Lizzy’s parents had been killed, and then, my own father went missing after a skirmish at the pack border. I hugged him hard, then pulled away, staring at him as though dazed by his presence. “Uncle Joel?” I blinked, stunned. “You're all grown up, Freya.” He chuckled, sweeping his eyes over my face. “And so are you! How long have you been gone, fifteen years?” I asked, my voice breaking on the last words. After Joel left, things rapidly went downhill with my parent's pack. We lost the respect of the other packs, and soon after Lizzy’s parents died, father began drinking like his life depended on it. Soon, he was in debt up to his eyes. Sometimes, when I missed him so much my loneliness turned to anger, I would wonder if father

Chapter 28

LEOI couldn't believe my own actions. She must have dazed me. A hungry whimper escaped Freya’s throat as her fingers twisted into my hair. An impressively angry wind of possessiveness swept over me as I swallowed her soft moans. No longer my wife? Who was she to say that? Until I permitted her to leave, Freya didn't seem to understand that she couldn't leave. Her lips tasted like sweets, the gentle twinge of it still lingering on her tongue. I sucked on her tongue, my fingers sinking into her hair and tilting her head back.“You're my wife until I say you aren't.” I said against her neck. I kept sucking, pulling on the skin, determined to brand her where she couldn't hide it, not even from Derek. I paused. Where had that come from? I pulled away from Freya, watching her flushed face as she fought to catch her breath. Her skin was pale except for the splotches of color on her cheeks, her complexion flawless.She brought her hands up and patted her hair stiffly. Tilting her head,

Chapter 29

LEOCaroline’s angry voice filled the room, but I could barely hear her. My attention was entirely on Freya. I knew I had been completely outmaneuvered. No, Freya hadn't shown up for the press conference. She'd known damned well that Caroline would lie. That was the reason she came; to expose Caroline. Caroline, who was on the stage, panicked and tried to clear her name. And I hadn't seen any of it coming. My gaze snapped back to where Freya had been standing but she wasn't there anymore. She and Matt were missing. Ashford was stalking through the crowd towards me, but I turned away from him, frustration tightening my chest. I stopped right outside the door, waiting for Ashford to catch up to me. A few seconds later, he pushed the door open and saw me. “Ashford, handle this. Control the room and deal with the press.” He nodded, his jaw ticking as he asked. “And Caroline?” “Keep her with you until I return.” I walked away, my attention drifting back to Freya as though she was a

Chapter 30

FREYAI stopped Matt half way home and told him to drive me back to the jewelry store. There was no need to go home where I would have time on my hands to think about Leo sending me home so he could return to Caroline. I pressed my fingers over my stomach as it heaved with disgust at his behavior. An ironic smile graced my face as I stepped out of the car. Leo hadn't bought me the diamond necklace because he liked me, he bought them as a thank you to his ex-wife. I entered the store and Sheila came around the counter to meet me. “Welcome back, Luna Freya.” Sheila stepped out from behind the counter with a polite smile. I returned it, though mine felt thin. “Thank you. Is Joel here?”“Yes, he arrived a few minutes ago. He’s waiting in the private lounge.”I nodded and followed her through the store. Glass cases lined both sides of the room, but I kept my eyes forward. I had seen enough jewelry for one day.Sheila opened the lounge door and stepped aside, and Joel stood when I ente
