ACE POVI woke up the next morning feeling more content than I've been in a long time. Seeing Freya's face was like a breathe of fresh air. It was like life had been restored back to me. After we stopped the rogues from getting the wolfsbane from the mountain, it gave a new source of hope to people in the pack. Made them believe that there was hope to defeat Kye and his tyrants. It gave them stamina to keep training harder. To keep fighting harder. Freya did all of this. After she told me everything that she had been through since she got to the rogue territory and how she overcame, I couldn't have been more proud of her. I'll learn not to doubt her or her strength next time. I'm less worried about her safety, knowing that she's fully capable of taking care of herself. I went to meet mother at her chambers. She requested to meet with me. I didn't know what it was about but I could guess. I went inside and she was already waiting for me. She was standing. This ought to be serious.
FREYA POVFortunately, today I woke up with no dreams or no revelations like the sage called them. Today was the day, the day I was going to sway Jacob to our side. With the information that Neveah gave me, It would be much easier that way. I just have to get through to him, it may not be that difficult to get him since his loyalty towards Kye was fading by the minute. I felt a hand wrap itself around my waist."Goodmorning." Kye said breathing air into my neck."Morning." I said. He looked at me, his eyes shining brighter because of the sun streaming in from the window. His eyes weren't as beautiful as that of Ace. They were nice but they weren't Ace's. I miss waking up next to him. Holding him, kissing him. I just wanted my husband."Are you okay? You seem lost in your thoughts." Kye said."I'm fine." I said stroking his cheeks. He closed his eyes and kissed the inside of my palm. "Kye?" I asked "Hmm" He responded still lost in the feeling of my hands on his face."Can I ask you
FREYA POVAfter my talk with Jacob I went back to my chambers. I was happy I had crossed this milestone. Jacob was going to be a huge asset to us. Ace would be happy about this. Today was Day 5, I would see him today, finally, I had been counting down the days till I would see him again. I woke up with renewed hope today. Feeling happier than I had in days. I was going to go for a walk with Neveah in the afternoon. I wore my clothes and went to the maid quarters to get Neveah. We were both about to leave. We almost crossed the gate. But then we heard the voice of Kye calling out to us."Thea, you're going for a walk?" He said. I turned to him, I went close to him and put my arms around his waist."Yes, I am." I said smiling up at him. He looked behind me and saw Neveah. His eyes lighting up in recognition."I remember you, you're the maid who told me about Eren." He said and he looked at me."What are you doing with her?" He asked suspiciously. I looked at him still bearing my smile
FREYA POVI stayed with Kye as he continued telling stories about Michael. If I said I was listening I would be lying. I couldn’t even eat the bunnies that were killed. I know I would throw up once again if it entered my stomach. I just made up an excuse that I wasn't that hungry. Thankfully Kye didn't suspect a thing."More for me then." He just said."Did you hear me Thea?" He said and I was snapped back to reality. "I'm sorry. I've just been feeling a bit unwell after I vomited." I said "It's fine. I told you we could go home. We didn't have to stay." He said "This was important to you Kye." I said "You're more important." He said. He reached out to touch my face. He caressed my face tenderly."You don't know how much you mean to me Thea." He said. His eyes shining with affection, it looked so intense. He began to lean closer to me. Immediately, I knew what he was about to do. I faked an injury to get him to stop."Ow!" I screamed and it was like he snapped out of his trance.
FREYA POVKye glared at me. His hands still pinning mine tightly. How I'm I going to get out of this situation? He was drunk, extremely drunk."Do you not want me?" he whispered. His voice sounded rough and angry."Kye, you're drunk. You don't know what you're doing. Just let me go" I said."I know exactly what I'm doing. I just need you so much, Thea. You don't know how hard it's been watching you without having to touch you or claim you." He said stroking my cheek with his fingers. I turned my face the other way and closed my eyes crying."Why are you crying? I'm not hurting you," he said. "I'm just not ready Kye," I said my voice breaking slightly."When are you ever going to be ready? Aren't you supposed to be comfortable with me by now?" He asked. I didn't say anything to that, I just kept sobbing. I was scared now. What if he hurts me? What if he forces himself on me? I will not let that happen! I'll fight him if I have to. Kye looked at me. His face looked hurt by my silence.
FREYA POVYou're pregnant That was all I could hear, it was ringing in my ears. I looked at Neveah and she seemed worried about me. I was still shocked by the news to feel anything but when the shock dulled down. I could only feel one thing. Happy. Ace and I are going to have a baby.I looked at Neveah and a look of pure joy erupted on my face. "I'm pregnant. Ace and I are going to have a child Neveah" I said to her smiling widely that one would think my lips would split into two. Neveah smiled back but she still had a worried look on her face. I knew why. How was I going to hide this from Kye? This only meant one thing. I had to go home. I can't risk my baby's life. Being here on my own is one thing. But carrying this child now it's another. It's going to be really dangerous."Freya, what are you going to do now? How are you going to hide it from Kye?" She said"I have to leave Neveah, that is the only way I can protect this child. My mission here is over, maybe sooner than I expe
FREYA POVI sat on the floor all night crying my eyes out. Kye hasn't come back since last night. I'd rather he kill me than to keep me here like this, I knew he had feelings for me but that was all I thought it was, feelings. I didn't know he was obsessed with me. I can't forget the look in his eyes yesterday, the words he said to me. I was supposed to meet Ace today. I was supposed to be with him today. He will notice something is wrong when I don't show up. I know that. I heard the door opening and I stood up quickly. Kye walked in and I saw some guards outside the door. He quickly closed it. I sat on the bed and I didn't spear him a glance. There was still a bruise on my face from yesterday."I had to sleep in your room last night. Did you enjoy mine?" He said. He dropped a glass of water on the table. I was terribly thirsty, I just drank the water in one go and I didn’t give him an answer. The water tasted odd though but I didn't think about it."Can't you speak or have you sud
ACE POVIt has been four days since we brought Neveah to the pack and since Freya's predicament has been known to me. I was sharpening my sword at the garden. I was angry. That was the most dominant feeling I felt. I was angry at Kye, I wanted to kill him for what he had done but most of all I was angry at myself. That maybe somehow this was my fault. If I had forced her to stay, if I hadn't just let her go maybe she would be safe and our baby would still be alive.I do not know how Freya might feel right now. I just wanted to hold her. To let her know that I'm here and that I would never leave her side. I would get her back tonight and reassure her. We were going to attack the rogue territory today. We'll Get her out as safely as we can."She is going to be fine." I heard Darren say behind me"I'm sorry I pushed you, I was livid." I said to Darren bending my head in shame."It's okay Ace. I understand you and I've had worse." He said and smiled. I touched his shoulder."Thank you
