Ninety five*Freya*Humiliation and helpless anger churned in my gut, a toxic mixture that threatened to spill out. My evil step sister, Kelly and her friend Jessica, reveled in their power over me as they taunted and bullied me. But I couldn't fight back like they could - I wasn't a true werewolf with their strength and regenerative abilities. To them, my humanity was a weakness, an invitation to be targeted whenever they pleased.But I refused to be their victim any longer.As I struggled against Kelly's tight hold on my hair, determination surged through me. Not anymore would I let them push me around and belittle me."Let go of me," I demanded through clenched teeth, gritting them against the pain of her unbreakable grasp. Yet even as I spoke, a fire burned within me, fueling my will to break free from their cruel hold.Adrenaline surging through my vein, I grabbed Kelly's wrist and wrenched with all my might. Caught off guard, Kelly stumbled forward with a yelp. I used the opport
Ninety six*Freya*"You just thought of something and blocked out your mind. For you to do that, it means you don't want me to know about it." Rafe sounded offended. "Well..I.." I thought of what I could say to save myself "Just tell me….What are you thinking about?" Rafe's voice was like a velvet caress, his eyes boring into mine with an intensity that made my heart race. I had to think fast. If he knew I was dwelling on Kelly and Jessica's mean-spirited antics, he would be furious. He despised them for their cruelty towards me.I took a deep breath, letting it out slowly as I summoned up the right words to distract him. "I was just thinking about how much I love you," I said, my voice soft and sincere. "And how thankful I am that you didn't die when you sucked the poison out of my body."He smiled, his fangs glinting in the dim light of the room. "You have nothing to worry about, Freya. I will always protect you." The tension between us was palpable, like a physical force that
Ninety seven *Third Pov*Kelly would not give up without a fight. Her mind raced with new schemes to rid herself of her wretched stepsister and have Alpha Rafe all to herself. In her room, she paced back and forth, muttering to herself in frustration."Enough, Freya!" She yelled at the empty space around her. "You've had your fun with King Rafe, now it's my turn. But as long as you stand in my way, I will do whatever it takes to get rid of you. Rafe is mine, and I won't let anyone, especially you, stand in the way of our love." The intensity in her voice grew with each word spoken. Kelly was determined to have what she wanted, no matter the consequences.With a new sense of determination, Kelly strode out of her chambers, her footsteps echoing through the palace halls. She made her way to the kitchen, where she knew her co-conspirator would be waiting.As she entered the kitchen, Kelly spotted the maid lurking in the shadows. The maid, her face obscured by a hood, bowed her head in d
Chapter 98*Rafe*The gentle breeze from the open window played with my hair, sending strands cascading across my face. I leaned against the windows, gazing out at the stunning view of the city below. Golden rays of sunlight filtered through the clouds, painting everything in a warm glow. My mind drifted back to last night, and I couldn't help but smile. Freya's laughter still rang in my ears, each note like a Music that I never wanted to end. The faint scent of her perfume lingered in the air, reminding me of every moment we had shared together. As I ran my fingers through my hair, I could almost feel her touch once again, igniting a warmth within my chest. It had been a perfect night - every whisper, every shared breath - and the memory of it would stay with me forever. I wanted her again. I couldn’t deny that I was getting obsessed with her. "Freya…" Her name slipped from my lips in a soft murmur, the sound almost tangible as it hovered in the air. In my mind, I could see her cle
Ninety nine*Rafe*As I held Freya close to me, I couldn't help but marvel at her selflessness. Her warmth and softness enveloped me, making me feel safe and loved. She was truly the best thing in my life, and I treasured every moment with her. I had been dreading telling her that I wouldn't be able to take her to the party because of Jessica, but Freya surprised me by giving me her understanding and permission. It was just one more example of her incredible kindness and generosity, even when she didn't have to be. As I gazed into her deep brown eyes, I knew that I was the luckiest person in the world to have her by my side."But.. How did you know I would be taking Jessica?" I finally managed to ask, my voice barely more than a whisper. The weight of the situation pressed down on me, suffocating."Jessica told me herself," Freya began, a mixture of hurt and determination flickering in her eyes. "She came to my chamber earlier. She bragged about it—how you had to beg her to go with yo
Chapter 100*Rafe**Rafe*The grand ballroom glittered under the cascade of crystal chandeliers hanging high above, the light changing into a dazzling ray of colors. The polished marble floors reflected the luxury as elegantly dressed couples swirled and danced in perfect harmony to the soft music of a live orchestra. My eyes swept over the scene, taking in the lavish gowns in different shades of deep emerald, royal blue, and crimson red. Everyone ladies outfit seemed more extravagant than the other, adorned with either beads, lace, or silken textures that spoke of wealth and status.Noble werewolves from different packs around the globe mingled together, their laughter and chatter forming an undertone to the music. The air was thick with their scents—distinctive, powerful, each one telling its own story of lineage and strength. It was clear that tonight’s ball was the pinnacle of social gatherings, a gathering of the werewolf elite. "Isn't it magnificent, Rafe?" Jessica's voice brok
Chapter 101*Freya*“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” Daniel asked, his gaze filled with with wonders as he glanced around the room. It truly was, I thought.I stared at the vast ballroom in wonder. It was magnificent. It was a masterpiece of beauty and top royalty, the magical appearance was beyond my imagination. Crystal chandeliers hung like stars from the ceiling, the light casting a warm, golden glow across the room. The walls were adorned with lights and glimmer and there were artworks everywhere, depicting the history and legends of our kind, each thread specially woven to capture the essence of every werewolf that existed. A grand staircase spiraled down from the upper balcony, where more guests mingled, their laughter and chatter a soft hum above the music."You're doing great," Daniel whispered, his reassuring smile pulling me out of my thoughts. I tried to focus on the dance, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I didn't belong here. Unlike everyone else in the room, I wasn't a
Chapter 102*Freya* "I really don't think the Alpha cares about me at this moment, Dan.." I said to Daniel who was still watching me amusingly."Of course he is," Daniel said, shaking his head lightly as if to clear it of any doubts. "Trust me. I've got a good eye for these things.""Fine," I sighed, hoping to shift the focus. "Who are you eyeing then?"Daniel's confident facade crumbled just a bit, his cheeks turning a shade pinker than usual. He looked away, scratching the back of his neck awkwardly. It was rare to see him so flustered."Uh, well... it's Addy," he confessed, barely able to meet my eyes."Addy?" I repeated, a surge of surprise and happiness flooding through me. "Daniel, that's wonderful! I had no idea you felt that way about her.""Yeah, well," Daniel shrugged, his usual bravado replaced by a rare vulnerability. "I'm just afraid she won't feel the same way, you know?""Are you kidding? You're great, Daniel," I reassured him, squeezing his hand. "And Addy would be l
