Freya's PovWe all wore black and stood as they set the bodies on fire . He did this, Artemis killed Leilani and Williams, he took them away, he would pay for this.Rachael had stopped crying now and Merona was rather by my side than at her side, ever since Leilani’s death, she had been avoiding Rachael, I intended to ask her but I didn't know how.Tobias, he had been the best thing in my life, I was so glad I didn't lose him.“How are you?” speaking of the devil and he appeared by my side, hand on my waist as if to shield me from the harsh grip of life.“I'm digesting everything and blaming myself?” I said honestly.He brought me down for a kiss on the forehead then kissed me, “how?” I questioned, he raised his eyebrows at me at my question.“How are you so strong?” I asked in bewilderment.Tobias chuckled, “It's one of the rules as a leader, they must never see you break, less they break with you,” he repeated the same words Rachael said to me during one of my lessons on being the p
Freya's PovI and Merona were doing the usual rounding, my date was close, and I didn't want anything to get in the way, so jogging was the usual every morning to keep me fit for the baby’s arrival.“Merona!” we heard Rachael call and we both swirled round to face her running form.“Is she running to me?” asked Merona in disbelief.Still looking to run with Rachael, I answered, “I believe so.”She stooped to catch her breath, “I have to tell you something,” she said panting.“Okay, what is it?” Merona asked going to her side.Rachael maintained her position, “Merona?” she called in a manner that suggested if she was churning she wanted to say over in her head.This made Merona tensed, what was she going to say. Rachael stood to her feet, just as Merona was about to ask her what she lips connected with Merona’s.She went rigid, then tried to pull away, Rachael quickly took hold of her and drew her back deepening the kiss.I felt like I was intruding however I was curious to see how thi
Freya's Pov“Freya!” I heard and snapped my neck at the direction the voice was coming from. I wanted to shout out his name, conjure it but they didn't form as real words, they only came out short as air leaving my lips.“Freya!” this time the voice called more fervently breaking me from my reverie. I choked, “Tobias!” and ran to him.He was at the opposite side of the woods with Merona beside him beckoning me to come. Merona stood perplexed, “are you okay?” she asked with real worry on her face.“Let’s go!” Tobias yelled.“Yes yes,” I nodded. It was all just an imagination, Artemis was not here. We had to run before he caught on.I ran into Tobias arms then I felt it, the sharp pain searing through my womb and I growled from agony. They all stopped and peered at me with worry etched on their beautiful faces.“Freya,” Rachael ran to me.“It's time,” I grunted and clenched my palm from pain, hoping that I would rein it in. But the pain wasn't something I could control, it rocked my bod
Freya’s povTobias quickly shifted and wore his boxers, he came behind me protectively and drew me back.“What do you want!” I asked, my voice raised and alert. The hair on my body stood erect as my eyes dashed from she to the forest around us, searching for any predator, not any predator though, a specific one, Artemis.“It's not what you think Frey——”“Don’t call me that!” I warned with a cracked voice. I hated how my voice broke every time. Even in the smallest incident.Loretta sniffed, staring into my eyes, beckoning for me to see her but I couldn't, not when she betrayed me, sold me out.“Speak!” I said and in the midst of my anger, I stepped forward to which Tobias was swift to withdraw me, to keep our distance. He was vigilant, eyes veering round like a security camera.“I'm.. I’m here to——”“To do what, betray me and give my whereabouts to that devil!” I demanded.Expecting her to come up with an excuse or at least do the next honorable thing, she was however silent, confirmi
Freya’s Pov My eyes bulged as she dropped the news that Evelyn was dead, and Artemis killed her, what then was my fate? I peeked a quick glimpse at Tobias who as I saw remained indifferent, it was hard to tell his emotions, she was after all his sister. In any case she was his only sibling despite their distance. Evelyn was a witch from hell sent to torment me however I had never wished she'd die; I mean don't get me wrong, I did have thought where I would throttle her throat but that was as far as they were, I didn't wish her to actually die. “I thought he took her in as his mate and Luna, why did he kill her?” Rachael asked in horror. A shiver ran down her and she cringed from her position. “Words have it that she did something outrageous, the maids could hardly keep their mouth plugged with the evil wench gone from their lives. Different stories are about swimming in the pack house and Artemis is furious.” she paused as tho to prepare us for what was to follow, “his beta was se
Freya's PovWe stood by the field in short, the scent of fresh lewd grass swishing past our noses mixed with a salty wet crystalline liquid that dripped down our skin.Nobody was slacking as we stood training. I crouched and ducked often a time when Merona would thrust her hand for a punch. We have been going over this for close to ten minutes, the goal was to maintain stability and swiftness, which as I could tell we were getting better at.The once scarce field was filled with people, it was no news that our enemy was strong as it was no surprise that everyone knew him, had experienced his power not once but oftentimes that it became frequent.So the thick aura, weaved with sameness with one dream at heart which was to survive.Tobias, it seemed, had grown distant over the information that Artemis was after me and would not as much as take a breath till he was satisfied that every person standing in his way to get to me was eliminated. That space had dug a hole in my heart, making
Artemis Pov“Argh!” I growled from pain, I watched in horror as Freya sunk her sword into me, her eyes were devoid of emotions. I kneeled frozen, unable to move, my muscles felt weak and for the first time I was vulnerable, my wolf went silent, another strange thing that meant we were accepting defeat.“Freya,” I choked as blood oozed out from my mouth, I coughed blood, still looking into her eyes, I pleaded. No! What was I doing, I thought, this could not be my end.Nooo fight! Why am I not fighting, why did I feel weakness and why was I surrendering.As I took a peek at Freya, she still had that maddening look, eyes blazing with anger, I could almost feel her fury.“Say hello to my father in the afterworld,” she spat.“Freya please… please..,” I begged.“Are you begging, I’m sure this was how my father begged you but you still killed him and took his daughter, how could anyone be so evil?” she thundered.“You took me, every part of me, made me fall for you! you killed my father, t
Artemis PovI walked into my mothers room. It was plain and vague like a Luna didn't inhabit the walls of this room. Mother always appeared calm and elegant, she wore dresses of the finest handmade. Pure and elegant. But the room I stood in now was dimly lit with no life of any kind associated with it.Drawing the curtain open, the moonlight was the only thing casting its crescent light into the room, eluding the aura my mother was known to carry. It was my second night here. Her room as it seemed provided comfort like a blanket.Although I couldn't keep sleeping here, should any pack members see me, they would attribute insanity to one of my many plagues.My hands trailed the plain wall, “mother,” I whispered into the empty hall, like she was close and as if she could hear me and reach out. I was back to that spot where I gingerly needed the soft calm embrace of her arms.“I'm lost,” I whispered into the room. The feel of her kiss hovered around me, her touch lingering and said into
