Freda’s POVThe only time I have heard of mates was in books. I read about it and fantasized about having one person that was bonded with you for life. It was interesting to see and live through. Every time, at least through the pages of a book. Never did I imagine that it was going to be so, that I was going to be living my life through the basics of a book. He was around me all along, through the misery he put me through. The terror I faced at the hands of his lover, he has always been the one. I put the pieces together, and the bigger picture was just more glaring. I am his mate. Still does not explain why he chose to treat me like that, like I didn't exist. It was like I owned a title he had given me when I first arrived here, a slave. He made it seem that it was going to be so, for the rest of my life. I still feel attached to the misery I faced here. When I came in through the huge doors, the feeling wrapped me again, this time tighter than it has always been."We might not ha
Freda’s POV"You are saying there is a magical connection between the both of us?" An index finger was pointed across my face. I was still trying to put everything back to when he started the story. "Why do you sound like you do not believe me?" I stifle my laughter, he turned his face. If I poked him any further I had a feeling he was going to snap at me."It is not that I do not believe you. I am just trying to understand it logically." Still pacing around the whole idea, I concluded. "Tell me again.""Fine. This would be the last time, little one." He warned. "I knew from the very moment when you were at your old job. That was where I saw you first. The spark was just there. It keeps you disoriented at first and then, it tugs at your very being. Making you do everything and anything to meet that one person, which was you. I had controlled my thirst and emotions because you were human.""Why did you not just come up to me at first? Instead of waiting for me to be kidnapped and so
Freda’s POVThere was this sharp pain that woke me up in the middle of the night. I rolled over to the edge of the bed, completely in serious pain. I could feel the warmth between my legs. I already knew what was going on. My confusion lay in the fact that I had been through it at the beginning of the month. It was not supposed to arrive for another month. I turned to my side and saw that Alfred was fast asleep but his hands were snaked around my waist. Still, in a great deal of pain, I quietly removed myself from his grip. The nature of things changed for him when he had dinner, he was cracking jokes and was able to taunt me some more with his pervert self. I smiled a bit when I reminded myself of the clear picture of him wearing a towel. The pain shots across my whole body, I stifled a moan that could only come from the great amount of pain that I was feeling. I felt like filth and I was disgusted with myself. My body felt sticky, as I made my way out of his room over to mine.I pu
Freda’s POVThe uncontrollable bleeding stopped.I was already scared that my end was near. Sleep was so close to me, magnetizing my eyes together. I didn't have trouble shifting into nightmares, even when I woke up screaming in the night. Alfred never left my sight. He was always there when I woke up and when I drifted back to sleep. We held little conversations but half of the time, I had him worried that things might get worse. I had to talk myself out of being cursed because there were some things I refused to understand. For a moment, I was safe in the mansion, I didn't have to think about me being a bounty and a little lamb for the big bad wolf to protect. Everything felt normal but I couldn't help my mind wandering that far. I thought of myself being captured several times.They were so real, that I didn't want to sleep any further. Closing my eyes posed a threat and a danger to myself. I was changing, I could see myself belonging to this world, attaching myself to the customs
Freda’s POV"You fucking tricked me." He burst out into laughter. I was sweating and there was no way to enjoy the weather when I was being forced to train."Amore, I didn't trick you. In fact, this is what you would be doing for the next few days. You need energy and I like your restraint." He was sitting down with a tablet in his hands, while I kept punching the bag. "I didn't ask for this." I heaved trying to catch my breath. My knuckles were hurting and my arms were worn out. "I don't want this."I paused, pinning my hands on my knees and breathing in the air. "Have you ever worked out before?" "No. Why do I need to work out? My body is in perfect shape." He stifled a laugh. I glared at him, feeling the mockery in his voice. "Are you saying I'm not in good shape?" He dropped the tablet on the table close by. "Nah, that's not what I meant. I'm sorry. The idea that it is just to gain a perfect shape is amusing. You exercise because you want to be fit and healthy, not to gain a
Alfred’s POVI think of the times when she was not here. Those horrible times when I felt nothing but pain due to her absence. There was always a little fragment you remember her by, her essence was everywhere. It was difficult to turn a blind eye to them without wrapping yourself around a memory. I looked for her in places where she used to walk on, sit and chat with the set of friends she had made here. I thought of the ways to go in search of her, at first that was the case. I saw how she was doing at her new job, the little life she had created for herself. She wasn't happy enough because I could feel her emotions, the way she tore herself apart just to prove a point. I did not want to be a hindrance to her growth, to the little freedom she might get. I was glad that I made it clear that I still wanted her close because I believed she would have wandered far more than I could reach. I didn't know how that felt when one was alive until I saw her back at the mansion because of the
Alfred’s POV"You need to calm down…" Kale dragged his words. "This is like a tantrum, doesn't look good on you. He came here to taunt you and it is working.""He thinks I am just a stupid person that wouldn't put the puzzle together. I have to send him a message." I felt my vision darken and Kale was immediately against it. All my life I had never had to prove myself because when I entered the room, it was obvious that I had the power. Elliot knows that about me but he chose to taunt me instead. Trying to be oblivious to what I was actually capable of. It was an insult to me, and my nature."Alfred, let's just leave him for now. I think that he would lead us to what Noah is planning."Leon barged into the room, there was a slight disappointment on his face. Immediately I knew. "She is gone."He nodded. "She is no longer on our radar and Noah never showed up.""It was a setup. Her father coming here was a distraction, she knew we were going to find her. She just didn't want to give us
Freda’s POVNight finally came. I drifted into a long sleep not knowing what I was waiting for anymore. Was I waiting for him to come? Tell me the news about Diane's father. Was he able to catch Diane? As much as I hated hearing her name in my mind, I couldn't help my curiosity every time the conversation comes up. At this point time was my greatest enemy, the more it passes the more I realized that I was alone in my room.I didn't want to be. I have been so used to having someone in my bed, cuddling and leaving little words on my skin with nothing but silence. Alfred didn't have to say much, my heart recognized him. It would be difficult for him to get past this phase but I was ready to do every part of this life with him.I got up from my bed still entangled with the duvet, I got out of it. I couldn't sleep in the early hours of the morning, I was thinking of him. I entered the closet and took my favorite blanket. I remember the last time I went to his room, sneaked into his room,
