•FREYA• “ you’re mated?” Kaiden called out slowly as he looked at us, his eyes were already turning colder by the second I froze at those words, I didn’t dare speak, only taking in a few gulps as my throat felt constricted I looked to Lucien but his hands only gripped onto harder to my waist as he stared his brother Kaiden down, He didn’t deny it, and I paused as I hadn’t denied it too, Kaiden’s face whirled to me as it paled in a heartbreaking speed, What was I going to say? That I mated his brother? Chose him over Kaiden? And still, shamelessly came back to the pack and claimed that I still missed him even though it was just platonic?My body was still numb from Kara’s death and now this confrontation, this was a whole mess, Kara had told me time and time again I wasn’t cursed, but I couldn’t believe it now, Because if I was not cursed, then why was all this happening to me? Why? Why do I keep hurting the people I care about? “ ..yes, we are, she is my mate, my true mate ” Luc
Lucien stood up from Kaiden’s frame and rushed to Freya’s side, Kaiden had balanced himself up as he watched the scene before him His heart panned in his chest when he saw the tears that filled Freya’s eyes but he was too hurt right now to care, Both of them didn’t care for his feeling, so why should he? What should he give a flying fuck about her? Freya noticed Kaiden’s gaze on her and turned to him, “ Kaiden please, let’s talk, let’s just talk? I will explain everything ok?” She called out in a whisper reaching her hands out for Kaiden but he just stared and glared at her till he backed away, Freya’s heart broke the more, “ so much for promises Princess” he called coldly as he left the two in the darkly lit path, Kaiden left them, and not one time did he turn back, as he left both of them, Freya’s felt her body become cold as he let out silent tears, She felt a pair of arms around her as warmth filled her cooling skin, she sniffed up and leaned into Lucien’s grip and he held h
•FREYA•... “She is my mate!” Lucien announced, I didn’t even notice that I let out a gasp and didn’t know I was loud and everyone had turned to where I stood, looking at me. “ She is my mate and your Luna!” Lucien repeated meeting my eyes, he was announcing this in public to everyone And I just stood there surprised at his declaration, The gasp that escaped from my lips caught the attention of the pack members set closer to her, and they all turn to be shocked at the outcome of Lucien’s announcement, They were all stunned as all mumbles and whispers I’m sure were about me, but I tried to hold my head high, I shouldn’t relent from the stares that would prove their baseless suspicions about me. Right now, they all saw me as something to fear because I was a hybrid, though eyes were on me the only gaze that kept me settled was when I looked at Lucien I faced the gaze of my mate who looked at me with nothing but love, admiration, and respect in his eyes as he came down from the stage
•Kaiden• Hell. It all felt like hell, at first I was the happiest man to see my brother and my lover back, The joy was overwhelming when I saw Freya, she was so beautiful since the last time I saw her and now she was back, I couldn’t contain my happiness.but it all changed the minute I smelled my brother's scent all around her like a hint of something more was going on. This didn’t seem like just him comforting her normally, they seemed more intimate, close. My suspicion was confirmed by how softly he held her, how they looked at each other on their bubble giving each other little touches and looks filled with …love, my heart shattered at that Fucking moment. Fuck!, how was I so stupid to not see, Freya took my heart and damaged it into Irreparable pieces, after all, that happened, I thought about her every night, the guilt of leaving Melissa on that bed that morning because I promised her. I hated that after I promised I wouldn’t let go, she did, and Lucien Got her, once agai
“ Something happened with you and Melissa didn't it?” Freya voiced out as Kaiden became quiet Freya had lashed out at him to get a reaction from him, but she didn’t know he had something with Melissa, Freya stared at Kaiden’s behavior how he became quiet and his nose flared in panic, that was when it dawned on her “ you slept with her then” “You…you have no idea what I went through I wanted to numb the pain from missing you Freya, and Melissa was right there, she gave me a shoulder to lean on,” He explained as his eyes flared,” and I gave in…it was a one-night thing, she agreed to it and I did too,” “But I’m the bad guy?” “ It’s different Freya! I thought you were dead, I needed comfort from her, she understood since me, Melissa also lost her partner and I lost mine, we wanted to because I lost you, but it’s different with you Freya! You betrayed me!” He scorned back at her“ I’m sorry, I know I must be making this worse but, I love your brother, we were there for each other even
Freya rushed into her room, and as she cleaned her tears, she didn’t dare go to Lucien’s room because he might be there she didn’t know how to explain this and why she was crying, she didn’t want them to fight, not again. But her luck ran out when her doors opened up and it was Lucien standing there waiting for her, his face fell immediately as he caught a whiff of her soured scent that filtered around the room. “ What happened?” He called as he marched Straight to her in large stride and took her face into his large warm hands “ why are you crying love?….was it Kaiden” “ no….maybe?” “ That bastard! I’ll talk some senses into him”, he snarled as he walked to the door but Freya drew him back before he could hold the door knob. “ no! I don’t want you to go there, I know how this will turn out and you are angry right now” “And you are crying right now” “ I’m not hurt, just sad, so please stay, stay and hold me” she called out and Lucien was weak in the knees for her pretty emerald
Freya had taken care of Lucien’s wounds that night, but not without nagging him nonstop on how there were better ways to talk it out with his brother than punching each other faces to the death, Though Lucien laughed it off and told her not to worry, Freya studied him and saw he wasn’t just pretending, they had talked it out, So when Lucien had told her about the meeting they would have in his study, Freya didn’t argue and agreed to meet up with Kaiden...A few days passed and Freya was reminded about the meeting and marched to Lucien’s study to wait for him since he was not in the bedroom when she woke up, She had reached the study’s large familiar oak doors and opened them, the room was empty when she walked in and closed the door behind her, She walked about the space, she didn’t know how much she missed this place till she had touched through the shelves of books and she might have since taken some books to her room months ago and read some when no one was in there, She had
Lucien had been with the young gammas who he led outside the pack grounds Since They were newly presented and had never turned to wolves, and some of them had never been out of the pack, This was more like a lesson which he enjoyed and missed giving to the young ones, but he knew he was running on time and any minute now he had to go the study to meet his mate and brother, But his thoughts were interrupted when he saw Axel running toward him in haste and with a desperate look in his eyes. His breath was hard and loud as he reached Lucien whose face had turned hard and on guard “ what is it?” “ alpha Lucien..” he started “it’s lady Freya..something happened- ” before could finish, Lucien had raced back into the pack and tow his study, “Please be ok, please be ok!” He muttered in panic as he gained closer to see a small crowd had gathered at the study door that was slept widely opened, “ move!” He ordered in haste as everyone cleared immediately and he went in, but what he saw stop
