Freya’s pov“I know the truth about your father,” he repeated and I felt my body go still with my heart pounding within my ribcage.We were silent for a long beat with just the drumming of my heart sounding through the dark stilled room, his breathing fanning my neck. The thudding of my heart swallowing my thoughts in whole.For the first time I experienced true calm as shudder ran through me, my head was blank with no clattering thoughts, my body dead and still, my fingers numb as they dropped beside with a thud.My heart suddenly accelerated as all previous emotions and thoughts began returning, slowly, gradually, with ease I felt life infusing back in with all five senses sipping back into my veins.‘He knows my father.’It was only when apprehension returned that I realized that he was yet to let go as he still secured me in his grasp with a loose palm acting as a lid over my mouth.My elbow came up and connected with his abdomen, “you can let go now,” I hissed from pain but that
Freya's PovHe was frozen by my side under the bed as we laid still and peeked from the little ajar made between the bed and the tile.Large feet stumped inside, shaking the entire building like they were giants. Feet which were concealed in black soldier boots, as each foot connected with the ground we could feel the shudder as well as the fear resonating within us.They wouldn't check the bed, would they?“Search everywhere!!” Artemis commanded like a god. He was furious and if the large strides he threw and rummaged through the purple curtains didn't say much then definitely his voice carried it.I imagined his nose flared as with every muscle in his body, his veins on full parade as he led the people.This was wrong, everything about it was wrong, from the decision down to hiding under the bed with my stalker, everything was wrong with this.I felt guilty. I had betrayed him, his trust.Familiar voices rang in my ear as I registered whom they belonged to; the girls.My hand covere
Artemis povShe watched the catastrophe in front of her with curiosity. Her brows furrowed and creased everytime they bantered and cursed at one another.She was in the multi-billion dollar group for the first time and she was my vice chairman. Freya, my mate, and Luna “She is not capable of leading, hell she doesn't know anything about leading,” Marc snarled.“She can't be our vice chairman,” Rose supported.I peeked a glance at a very calm Freya who just seemed to listen and not care about their opinion. She was quiet and merely stared at every one of them. They didn't want this, didn't want her to rule by my side. “I don't care about your opinions but she’s my mate therefore making her the vice chairman,” I connotedMarc opened his mouth to speak once more, but Jude was quick to step in, “let her be, she has to learn to know, after all she needs the experience,” as he spoke he balanced gaze with Freya who's eyes were locked on his.Jude had the majority of the court to his favor,
Freya's povThey all mirrored each other's expression, waiting for me to call a name but that was the problem, it wasn't a name but the name.“The person,” I paused, eyes darting to their horror-stricken face, “is in the organization,” I revealed. The place fell Into a luminous silence.“Who is the person?” they asked.“I don't know whom yet, but I know the person is here as it is the only way that the other packs would gang up or try to come up against the pack. They have someone in here, one of us,” all their faces fell as they darted their eyes from one to another, each bearing a suspicious gaze.I did likewise, scanning the entire room for the criminal, for the mole within us.The atmosphere suddenly sank and became one of solitude, peoples thoughts swimming the whole transparent, sound proof room. The room was silent, so silent that the drop of a pin would be heard by all.“But..but why would somebody do that?” Rose shivered looking besides her at the people she sat close with.“
Freya’s povMy mind was a spiralling mess the next few days, I couldn't get to Racheal or my stalker as I spent my last few days in the court. The organization provided housing where people could sleep and work and also get acquainted with the work ethic here. Artemis And I stayed together and in all those times I was keeping myself from going mad with curiosity and questions. And now we were going back to the pack house, tired and in need of a real home and space. I would have been tired but not when my sanity was at the brim of being lost.Artemis hugged me as we both retired to our individual room. I couldn't quite describe it, it was an uncanny feeling but he had been acting weird lately, especially with Jude and ever since that confrontation from Jude, I hadn't heard from him.He just dropped a bombshell and disappeared from the earth’s surface. I pushed open the door to my room and stepped in, the interior was welcoming and unnerving. Unfortunately the comfort my room offered
Freya’s povI was hearing things or perhaps my ears has gotten dysfunctional. What was I hearing? “Wh..at.. What?” I lost my balance and stumbled onto the chair for support. My hand supported my head and tried to even my breathing and even my heart that was about to jump out from my ribcage any time soon.They quickly came to my side, “are you okay? Freya,” someone called, I didn't know whom, I didn't care.“Get her water,” a voice urged, the pair of hands that once held me suddenly let go.“What's your name?” I managed to ask my stalker. I should at least learn his name. I deserved that much.“I'm Williams,” he replied. Ha! I almost laughed at that, Williams was not a fair name for a stalker. He should have something more sophisticated, something befitting for a stalker.“Here,” water was offered to me, I grabbed it with shaky hands and brought it to my lips. The tip of the cup made contact with my lips and I drank like it was the only purest thing within and around me at the moment
Freya’s pov“Freya stop! We are gonna get into trouble,” Rachael yelled from behind me. But I didn't care what she said or for her tremor I didn't care how much trouble I was going to get into, all that mattered was Artemis, was confronting my mate, whom I have bedded with since the day I arrived here, all I cared for was asking him if he killed my father all this time and kept me in the dark.“Freya! Freya!” Williams and Racheal called out to me. Their footsteps drew nigh, a sign that they were chasing me, trying to stop me from taking my rash action as they called it.Stopping abruptly I turned to them, “there is nothing either of you would say that would change my mind. Now I'm going to go and ask my mate, and NO, I would not add your names,” I said, cutting them off before they had the chance to say anything.I left them there speechless as I continued down the path that led to Artemis' presence. I didn't care to knock as I barged in, his beta and gamma were present talking to him
Freya's povI was thinking that by now I’d be living in the dungeon but rather I was seen to my room by a handful of guards, Artemis of course had searched for a better lie to muster.He didn't say anything, he just simply called out to the guards who were escorting me.While standing in the elevator, I caught sight of those buttons enclosed in a safety plastic casing. If I got into that room, I wouldn't be able to step out again, I could bet my luck and I was really desperate to check out where those buttons led and what secret they held.“I’ll be fine on my own, don't worry,” I told the guards. Seeing that Artemis had told them that I wasn't healthy and that they should make sure I got to my room.Prick was too much of a coward to say that I punched him. They looked amongst each other, “are you sure,” asked one of the guards in worry.“Yeah yeah, I'm fine,” I nodded my head as I assured him.He shared a glance with the others and cast one my way, “okay, but if you need anything, ju
