Freya's PovThe necklace dangled as I crouched low on the ground. My brain was waiting for the go-off whistle. My hand found it and caressed it gently, the necklace that came with me from my father's pack, the only thing left of them for me. A reminder that I was from somewhere, somewhere I would have mattered for the past thirteen years.It served as a piece of comfort to me, when I held it, it was as though I felt my father, I felt my family. This necklace was what held me together all those years in Eastwood pack, when I thought I was going to crack, it held me in one place together.I didn't think I was one to place sentiment on objects, to give them more meaning than they bore but for Artemis, I would. I wore it more now than ever, I had hoped my father's bravery would disseminate to me and somehow, magically, help me in this battle. But I liked to think my father wasn't one of those people who believed in magic. He'd be the type that loved to get things done themselves, nonethel
Freya's Pov“Artemis,” I called and chased after him. His strides were quickly paced, and my hand wrapped around him from behind, when I caught up.“Common Artemis, we were just celebrating, I got caught in my victory,” I explained to him, my hands still wrapped around his torso.A grumbling sound emitted from his chest, spinning, I came to his front, “Artemis, you do know that you are my mate, and I wouldn't leave something this hot,” I pointed at his chest and abs, “For that,” he smirked.“I know you wouldn't but it doesn't make me feel better smelling another's man scent on you,” he said as he sniffed me in disgust. I chuckled.“I'm going to wash up and get your smell all over me,” I said smiling. He smiled and pulled into a kiss. We were beginning to display more of PDA every day. My hands went to his hair and gave it a squeeze.Oh I really wished my enemies were here to witness.I felt his lips expand into a smile as we kissed. “Oh you are so getting Oslo's scent off of you,” he
Artemis povI and Iris were in the elevator headed down to the dungeon. Ajax, he was one pain in the ass. He was like that mole you could not just cut off because it was likely to escalate into something big. And I hated when something small itched more than it was supposed to.We trotted into the dungeon where he was chained to a metal chair, we were all tired, not knowing how to easily dispose of him. He was a quicksand, any move we make would come back to bite us. And to make matters worse he was Loretta’s father. The idiot had Loretta up coming to seduce me, it didn’t work after all those years but the slut followed me around like a bug, something she and her father both had in common.His head hung low, his face a complete disaster from the constant torturing, he won’t buldge, he is adamant on striking a deal. The old fool was desperate to save his life. People who feared for their lives were most likely cowards and most times it was better never to trust such people.The place s
Freya's povThose buttons by the elevator, they drew me in, they magnetized me. Tugged at me, itched on me to find out where they led, what secret they hid. I was curious, they were fascinating and anything that was fascinating usually held, big, abstruse secrets.As much as it tugged my heart, to follow my desire to discover the secrets within those buttons, where they could take me to, my mind said a different thing. My logical side said to keep off. There was a benefit of ignorance, only when discovered, you'd wish you hadn't. So for now it was safer to bask in my ignorance regarding this fascinating buttons, just for now.I walked out of the elevator. Outside I spotted Merona with Racheal. She was speaking with Merona, I could not quite make out the words because they were far, but she laughed, gleefully, then went on to hit Merona by the arm. She was enjoying conversing with her. She seemed to be enjoying her company, since when were they both best friends.Suddenly a lump formed
Artemis PovAjax body was disposed off, it was great getting him of my ass yet I didn't feel as awesome as I'd thought. I was angry and frustrated. The trace of those emotions unknown. The video he made for his daughter had already been forwarded to her. It was time to face the dog that thought he could bite its owner, Jude.My frustration and anger were directed towards Jude, but it felt like I was projecting it at the wrong person. Walking out of my room, I saw Freya and almost instantly, I felt a tug in my chest. It grew tight and a lump formed in my heart. I almost moved back out of fear. It was then I realized my anger and frustration, whom it was directed at. It was no other person but me. I was angry at myself.It felt as though I had betrayed Freya. I wasn't one bit pleased with myself.“Artemis!” she called out, her eyes twinkled as she waved at me. Waving back, the knot in my chest tightened. Damn it!She scurried away with her business.“Alpha,” Iris called. I turned and ga
Freya's pov“Let's go up to my room, okay? Come,” I said as I supported her up. My hands came up and wiped her cheeks and her eyes, I repeated the same action with my clothes. “Come lets go,” I supported her and we walked out of the library with my arm around her waist. When we got to the open Hall where servants were posted, she let go, damp her eyes and put on a straight face. She brushed her hair back with her hands and then went to walk like she was on a runway.I stood perplexed for a moment, staring at her runway walk. Was this the girl who was just crying for her deceased father not too long ago?Shaking my head and rubbing my eyes, I went after her. She was some serious psycho. I had to be careful with her.Arriving into the elevator, she just stared ahead and didn't say one single word to me. Wow. I kept looking at her, trying to decipher the abrupt need to be a celebrity in front of the camera.The sound of the elevator chiming open had her walking out, again she didn't pay
Freya's povToday was the day, the day for my beauty treatment. Argh… I didn't see the point. I was gonna be treated like a princess, bath with honey and milk and rose and all the things that would make me glow, and then I would be sent into a battle where all of that would be nothing but vain.The pack was almost done with the decorating, they had transformed the hall into magic. It was lovely but at the same time, all the decor and interior were getting in my way.Occasionally I would bump into a crate of balls, a box of ribbons and drapes, and poles, basically everything used for decorating. It pissed me off, especially when I was done with training, and I was tired, those traitorous drapes would occasionally get in my way.With my face-off fast approaching, my time for myself was limited, making me train even more. I had had less time for Loretta, I barely even saw her which I felt bad for. It seemed as though I just abandoned her after learning of her problem. It was hard balanci
Artemis povThe Moon goddess was definitely out to get me, she was bent on making sure she punished me. When did Loretta and Freya suddenly become friends, holding hands and coming into my office together?Loretta was a little hesitant but Frey held her hand and assured her. They were like each other's support. Just how busy had I been?They wanted to speak to me alone, Iris took a quick peek at me before he walked out. They saw themselves in a vacant seat in front of me. They took one last glance at each other as they braced themselves to come out to me.“Loretta's father is dead,” Freya announced briefly.Shit!I heard my conscience laugh at me from the back of my mind, howling and screaming out in mockery of how he warned me. It came back to bite me.“Artemis?” Freya called carefully, I jerked discreetly as I turned my attention back to her.“I heard, I'm listening. Anyway, how do you know about it?” I asked slowly.“We have the video,” Loretta said, if she saw the video, did that
