Freya's POV     All the voices in my ears seemed distant; only the doctor's voice rang clearly in my ears. Novia's eyes were red, and she held me, saying in a muffled voice, "Freya, you have to be strong. Go inside and take a look." I clenched my hand and whispered, "I'm fine." With that, I headed toward the operating room.Livia lay there quietly, her face covered with an oxygen mask. The mist from her breath was no longer visible on the mask, and the numbers on the instrument next to her had dropped to a very low value. She was so thin that she seemed to blend in with the surgical bed beneath her. All this indicated that the person in the hospital bed was nearing the end of her life.I took her hand. Livia was skilled at painting, and the knuckles of her middle finger were covered with calluses from years of painting. When Livia was healthy, she wasn't particularly thin, so there was s

Kingsley's POVThe people around me who attended the funeral offered to step aside. I tightened my lips and walked over to Freya with a solemn expression. In just a few days, Freya had lost a considerable amount of weight, and at this moment, her face appeared pale. The moment I saw her, my heart ached. I stepped forward and gently placed my hand on Freya's shoulder, casting a cold glance in Theo's direction as my inner wolf let out an angry growl. "What were you about to say?"Theo immediately shifted into a falsely ingratiating smile and inclined his back, "Nothing. I meant to say that I'm certain that you'll take good care of Freya." I gave him a cold glance and remained silent.I turned to Freya and whispered apologetically, "I'm sorry I'm late." Freya replied in a hushed tone, "It's alright. You've always been late after all."As we exchanged looks, Freya's gaze seemed distant, as though I wer

Freya's POV   Leaving Kingsley's place, tears welled up in my eyes as I drove along the road, making it difficult to see ahead. I had to pull over and let the emotions out. My heart ached, and I looked around, feeling lost.Eventually, after collecting myself, I decided to go back to Novia's place. I hadn't eaten all day, so Novia cooked me some food. I didn't have much of an appetite, but I didn't want to disappoint my friend, so I managed to eat half of it.Novia whispered, "Freya, are you okay?""Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry," I replied with a forced smile, trying to hide the pain in my heart.When I had rejected Kingsley earlier, I had felt pain, but now I felt a sense of relief, as if I had broken free from the shackles that had been holding me back.Just then, my phone rang. I glanced at the caller ID and was surprised to see that it was Henry Quinn, the Alpha of the Moonlight Pack.I answered, "Hello!"Henry warmly

Freya's POV The following day, I took a break from the crew, packed up, and headed to Quinn Media.After waiting downstairs for a while, Danny descended from upstairs and greeted me warmly, saying, "Miss Freya, please follow me."I was a bit perplexed when I saw Danny. After all, I had only come for a medical checkup. It didn't seem necessary for Danny, the Beta of Alpha Henry, to personally escort me there, right? Despite my doubts, I refrained from asking too many questions and kept my conversation to a minimum during the journey.Before long, Danny took me to the hospital where I was scheduled for my medical examination. It was a private hospital affiliated with the Moonlight Pack, situated quite a distance from the company. The drive took around forty to fifty minutes.Upon arrival, Danny helped me complete the necessary paperwork, and then I proceeded with the checkup as per the items listed on the form. The hospital wasn't crowded, and Danny had to attend to a phone

Kingsley's POVI chased after her and found Freya sullenly waiting at a red light at an intersection. I approached her, removed my jacket, and draped it over her shoulders. Freya didn't glance back at me. I pursed my lips and said, "Your shirt is dirty.""None of your business!" Freya snapped, whipping her head around with red eyes. "Where were you when I needed you? Who are you sympathizing with now?"Looking into her reddened eyes, I remained silent and reached out to gently wipe away the coffee stain that had just splashed onto her cheek and hadn't been cleaned. Freya waved my hand away, saying, "Leave me alone; I'm not your mate anymore!"My fingers trembled, and my throat tightened. I opened my mouth after a long pause and whispered, "I'm sorry.""Sorry is the most useless thing in the world to say," Freya said, still looking at me with red eyes. "Now that you know what your mother did to me, whether it's your sister or your mother, don't ever mess with me again, including yo
