Chapter 91An hour ago...Victor It's one thing to be a father of two intelligent and powerful daughters, it's another thing to keep yourself from falling apart. Forgetting Cassandra was not as easy as I imagined. Some days, I work my butt off to stay alive, most days, the gift of Freya and my unborn grandchildren helped me through the grief.Just then, a knock came from the door. I didn't bother to clear the half-eaten sandwich and beer on the centre table."The door is open."Dr Carver came in. He observed the environment and sighed. "How long have you been moping around?" "Since my life tumbled down the drain." I collected the bottle and chugged down a mouthful. He removed his coat and hung it on the coat rack. "Do you mind?" "Make yourself at home," I answered dryly. "I'm afraid, I only have beer to offer you. Want one?""I'm good. Thanks." He joined me on the sofa. "I had a feeling you needed a friend."Sitting close to me meant he could smell the alcohol in my breath, but I

Chapter 93DamonI sit behind Lord Vane on the top of a mountain, where he meditates often. Aldric Vane is a lot of things, but a priest was not one of them. A seventy year old tactician with the strength of a youth had no place in a temple.I knew him before I learned to take up arms; a rogue boy in the glades, surrounded by loss and death, crowned Alpha of rogues overnight. I wonder why he chose me to rule the rogues, when there were more competent hands than me. After my loss to Gideon, I lost my pride and place with my men. They whisper in corners, and I noticed the withdrawal. It was eating into my confidence and authority, setting me on edge."I can hear your thoughts all the way here, Son," he said, his small voice carrying in the wind. "They're eating you up like a canker. Let it out before it poisons you."I exhaled deeply. "I lost, Lord Vane," I muttered, my gaze dropped to the moss-covered rocks surrounding us. "I failed to take over his pack as you wanted.""There was not

Chapter 95FreyaThe argument lasted for ten minutes. Gideon and I stubbornly refused to cave, invariably prolonging the matter further than it should. He's trying to protect me, and I appreciate it, honestly. But I can't keep hiding forever, either. "I'm sick and tired of hiding behind a wall," I said. "I have to know who I'm dealing with, if I want to defeat him.""Stop making this harder than it looks," Gideon responded. "Aldric is my responsibility, not yours. You're in no place to make demands.""Don't try to manage me, Gideon," I fumed. "I'm pregnant, not an imbecile. There are millions of regnant women out there risking their lives everyday for what they believe in.""Except this isn't work," he grounded, keeping his voice low. "Don't you understand? If Aldric gets to you, it's game over. He'll become unstoppable. Have you forgotten what he did to your family?" "I do, okay," I raised my voice, my voice breaking, as tears blurred my sight. "I know what he did to my family. Yo

Chapter 97 GideonIt took me extra words of assurance to prove to Freya that our babies would be safe. She was afraid Aldric would harm the babies, even before they were born. "You didn't see the way he looked at my stomach," she began to stutter. "I- I felt this unexplainable frost freezing me from the inside out. I tell you, Gideon... Aldric is planning something sinister than he's letting on.""It's no news to us," I said. "He's been after us since day one, and we're not letting our guard down. We're going to double security and make not even a fly have access to the pack without my consent. The order will be to shoot on sight."It did little to calm her. She threw her head back and sighed, looking out the window. She hugged her body, and leaned her head against the widow."I just want this nightmare to end," she said. "He's robbed us of our happiness, and now, he's after our bundles of joy. I can't lay a finger on it, but I know the twins are part of his evil plans."With one ar

Chapter 99FreyaI paced the length of the room, processing Maren's story and Aldric's plan. Having established his real intentions, I swore to protect the twins with my life. But I can't do it without talking to Gideon about it."I'm sorry, Maren, but we have to tell Gideon," I said, stopping in front of her. "If we're going to protect the twins, it'll take concerted effort from Gideon and the others. This is bigger than us. It's bigger than what we thought it was."Maren was silent for a while, then she spoke. "I know, but I had to tell you first. You deserve to know the truth before anyone else."I walked over to her, and took her hand in mine. "They don't have to know everything. All they have to know is the connection between Aldric and the twins."Maren nodded. "Thank you."I embraced her. "It's all in the past now. Don't blame yourself for what happened. You did what you thought was right."She chuckled between sobs, breaking free. "Your mother would have been so proud."I smi
