Once they arrived back at the palace, Freya was pulled into the hall and made to kneel. She glanced at the ministers' features before turning to meet Arthur, whose eyes were already fixed on her. She saw his expression, which was one of astonishment and disappointment, indicating that he did not think she had not done it. With an evil smirk on his face, the Chief Minister approached her. "You tried murder on the King countless times and got away with it, but there is no reason for you to claim innocence this time." He grinned at her again before turning to face the King. "And this time, the Alpha King will not have any incentive to support you either." Freya bit her lower lips. "It can not end like this. I can not let all of my plans fall through. I should have killed them earlier, instead of waiting around," she let out a deep sigh. She was having a hard time coming up with an idea since her heart was so heavy. "How did they plan all of this? Why didn't I learn that they removed my
An attack occurred on Arthur three days after Freya was placed in the cell. While surveying the palace and attempting to compose himself, an arrow grazed his chin and went through the side of his face. His mouth hanging open, he felt his chin, finding a small amount of blood, and dabbed it with his handkerchief. He turned to his left, and as he did so, he picked up the arrow that had been shot at him on the ground. Reading what was written there, his brows tightened, and he remembered that same day when Freya had lost two of her arrows. "She is not the culprit!" His hand balled up. He looked up to see Flarry on the rooftop, this time pointing a rifle at him. “That assassin again?” he shook his head. He turned around and started walking toward the rooftop, saying, "This is not his mask; he must be the one that battled me that day." Being an experienced Alpha, he had no trouble reaching the rooftop, and when he did, he spotted nobody. "He flew, I wonder when I will be able to get ho
Luna took her hairpin out and set it down on the surface. She stood in front of the mirror, undressed, and then sat down on the ground with her legs pressed together. She struggled to break free from the moment between her and Arthur in the hallway chamber, her lips pouting fiercely.She said under her breath, her palms pressed together, "He is sprouting wings—in a way that I can not cut them off." Breathless, she said, "I have to deal with him before he gets out of control, and the worst part is that I can not dethrone him myself so simply else it would not be a huge concern."She continued to wipe her face with her palm since it felt hot in her chamber and she was starting to perspire. “How will I do it? Where will I start?” she growled, pissed off. "He puts that girl in front of me and talks back to me like I am just a maid. What a nuisance!?” her fist clenched.Her spouse entered and sat down in front of her as the door suddenly swung open. She was unable to meet his eyes directly
Sera walked into the room as Freya was applying cream on her body. She had freshened up as one who came out of the cell but had no appetite to eat. All she wants is for the night to end; she can not wait to cut off Arthur's head tonight.Knowing that they are mates and that he is the boy she has been searching for, she decided against killing her last. But after the recent tragedy that occurred in the name of hunting, she would not be able to take it anymore. She feels bad now because she disregarded Flarry's instructions and did not listen.She went to the bed, got her clothes, and put them on. “Stop staring at me, I have eyes at the back…” she referred to Sera who was standing motionless and dumb in the room. “Why are you here?”“To tell you the latest news—” She laughed as she took three steps closer to Freya. "Elora is prepared to kill you with a dagger anytime soon while you are alone and asleep."She swung her body around to look at the lady speaking to her. "Can you repeat what
Elora looked at the Beta, still trying to figure out what had happened between them and Freya. “Do you get it?” she inquired, brows furrowed. "What the heck did she just do to us?"He got off the bed by pulling up the cover. “I can't tell. I am just afraid she will expose us to Luna—that is my biggest concern." With that, he started dressing. He is unable to explain how much he sacrificed in order to be with Elora, who was thought of as the Alpha's mistress. Is it possible for him to inform them that Elora was his mate? Would he just fabricate a story about how she tempted him to do this? Not now that Freya is aware of their shared activities.“This is not the appropriate place for us to meet. This is the most deadly..."“Snap it out!” Elora gave a warning and got to her feet. "I have to murder her tonight so she will not be able to spill anything at all because we can not disclose this," she said, bending down to pick up the blade, only to find it missing from the room. "It is not h
During the night, Freya got out of bed and started getting dressed. Now was the moment to finally complete her purpose and get rid of Arthur the way she had originally intended. She wore a coat, her face hidden under a mask.She dropped the named tanto knife and picked up the unlabeled one before swooping through the window to leave the room. It surprised her that Arthur was still awake at that hour of the night when she crept into his room.She pulled out her blade and said, "After all the time I wasted for him to be deep asleep—" shocking Arthur, who immediately got up and took a step back. “Tonight, I am not going to let it go.” She thought, "I will take you down.” she threw the tanto knife at him, and he grabbed it right away.She sighed.“You came again? I am delighted you reconciled with them, but why would you return if I was not aware of your presence in this Pack?” Arthur tossed the knife back at her, and she grabbed it. "People like you must have slaughtered souls and should
It was now day five, and Freya was still avoiding Arthur and his family. She does not often leave her room; all she does is eat and sleep there without going outdoors.Flarry and his men had assaulted the five guards Luna had dispatched to investigate her identification, so it was not her concern anymore—her men would all be killed if she did not mind her own business and cease inquiring into her identity.She hung her head toward the ceiling, propped her legs against the wall, and hummed while she nibbled on the goodies Sera had provided. Flarry mind-linked her. She chewed the food like a child, pouting her lips, "Hey buddy!" "You locked yourself to your chamber, yet you refuse to return here. What precisely is your motivation behind that royal file?" Flarry queried. For once, Freya refusing to listen to him had become so annoying to him. "Would you like to become his official Luna? Then know that I will burn down that palace tonight.”Laughing, she rolled over to face the opposite
Luna had an idea when she was looking through the names of all the maidens that worked in the palace. She has to take certain steps to make it easier for her to carry out her intentions. Lifting her face, she looked at her new maid. She turned to the maid and said, "Get the Minister in charge of the registration of each household."Her memory of Elora's statement that Freya is an Alpha flashed back to her. She believes Freya is the Princess she knows; her name should be recorded as royalty rather than as a maiden of the Pack. If she discovers that Freya was given a maiden name at birth, she will believe Freya is merely the Princess's mirror image. But if not, she is confident of one thing: Freya is the Alpha Princess who should not be alive.She had goosebumps all over her body as she considered everything. "What would happen if it were discovered that she is the Princess? Does she know who I am and that this is her father's kingdom, or did she forget everything as a child?" She quick
