JACOB I am standing under my shower waking up after only a few hours of sleep. I couldn’t fall asleep last night, and for most of the night, I was thinking about my mate and saw her beautiful face in my mind. Gianna came, and she tried to get in, but I had locked my door and pretended to be sleeping, and eventually, she gave up and left.I had already called and requested a phone meeting with the king and was told he would have time at 10.15 AM. That was in 30 minutes, so I had a good time still and took the time to wake up properly. When I turned off the water, I could hear someone at the door again, and I knew it was Gianna.I dry myself and get dressed in jeans and a shirt, and now I hear another voice, Ryan.“Why else would the door be locked.” I hear Gianna complain.“I swear, he does not have a girl in there. He properly just needed some peace. There are strangers on our land, in case you forgot.” Ryan says.“Yeah, right, I bet it is that princess!” She says, sounding like she
JACOB I am waiting for my Dad, Gianna, and Elder Stan, and I Don’t have to wait long for Gianna, who I’m sure was waiting just outside.“Jacob, I knew you would tell me to come in,” she says, trying to sit on me, but I stop her.“Dad and elder Stan are joining us, so sit on the couch,” I tell her, and she huffs but do as I tell her. Just the thought of her touching me makes my skin crawl. And thankfully it does not take long before Dad and Stan are here, and sitting in the chairs.“Why did you call us here,” Dad asked me.“Is it about the strangers?” Stan ask.“Sort of, but it is not what you think,” I say.“Then explain.” Dad command.“Well, first of all. I know you lied and manipulated me, I talked with the king, and he is mildly said pissed off that you would use his daughter who is grieving. And that you told me that he the king, would remove me if I did not choose a mate. And you knew very well I would never risk the princess's life, so you used her to make me choose Gianna, did
JACOBRyan, Silas, and I are walking through the forest towards the forest with five warriors behind us. And I am in my own thoughts, thinking about my mate, of course. I feel like a teenage boy who has gotten brave enough to invite the girl he likes out for the first time.“We here,” Ryan says and after we step just outside the forest we stop.There is a lot of activity in the camp when they see us and many of them come out of their tents to look. After a while, I saw a big man coming out of a tent with two other men, including her, my mate. He points to some of the men, and they move to stand outside the camp, and then he, the two men, and my mate start walking up here.She looks beautiful in pants made of some sort of skin and her top, too. Her hair is partly braided, partly hanging free. She walks confidently next to the man I think is the leader, and it's sexy as hell, and I have a hard time taking my eyes off her. Before I look at the leader, my eyes catch hers, and for a second
FREYAThe three men had just left, and we were walking back to the camp so that Dad could tell everyone the news. The farmers that had gone with us were talking about the lands and were excited to begin. Me? I was walking in silence, thinking about the man Jacob. I had never seen someone like him, and he was so handsome in dark black skin pants and a shirt that sat so close I could see all his muscles. He was tall and strong. When he spoke, you knew right away that he was their leader.I had the urge to touch him so badly, as if I felt something pulling me to him, and when I looked into his eyes, I wanted to drown in them. His eyes had the most beautiful ash-grey blueish color, and his smell, gosh, I wanted to faint. Why was I so attracted to this man? Attracted doesn’t even somehow cover it. It feels more like my entire being needs him.I asked my head, and I could not think like this. I have no right to, and I probably have a woman and kids at home. No, I had to push these thoughts
FREYANo one noticed I had been gone last night, and I could slip back in unnoticed. I don’t know, but I don’t feel the whipping so much anymore. I sneaked into the dark of Dad’s tent and fell asleep on the skins on the floor. But unlike most nights, I was dreaming, and they felt so real.The black wolf was in my dreams, but its eyes were not red anymore; they were ash-grey, blueish, just like the man Jacob’s eyes. And then he appeared where the wolf had been, and he held me close, but not in a demanding way, no, like if he loved me. I dreamed about how he made love to me, soft, intense, passionate love, and then just held me close while we watched the sun go down.I woke up with the strangest feeling in my body and a calm in my heart I had never felt. I looked around in the morning light and saw that Dad was still sleeping, and I relaxed.I stood up took my bow and arrows, and went hunting. It did not take long before I could go back and start preparing the wild pig I had killed.The
FREYAAfter I woke up, I had to be sure that it had only been a dream. There were no bite wounds, and I knew I was being silly. But it felt so real, and some part of me wanted it to be. I wanted to be his, to feel the tinglingwhen he touched me.I couldn’t go back to sleep. I tried, but as soon as I closed my eyes, I saw him, felt him. So I stayed awake and waited. And thankfully, there were already hints of a sunrise, so I knew I didn’t have to wait for long.I was cooking fresh bread when Dad came out, and he smiled at me.“It smells good, Freya. You have always been as good as your mother at cooking,” he says as he sits down.“Thank you. I had a good teacher.” I say.“Yes, you did.” He says, and we sit in silence for a while“I am sorry, My daughter.” He says quietly, I know what he apologizes for. So I don’t ask.It doesn’t take l
FREYA The boats were packed, and they only needed to remove the rest and their belongings. Some hunters had caught a wild pig and a big deer, so now they are bringing cooked food, while some of us made bread and sorted out the eatable berries someone had found.After eating, I did as I had been told, walked back to the house where I was going to live, and then I waited. Thankfully, I didn’t have to wait for long.“Undress.” That was the only thing Leif said when he stepped inside, and I did as told.He walked around me and looked at me, without saying a word. Until he grabbed my hair and forced me to stand with my upper body lying on the new table. I could see him move around his own clothes with the hand not holding my hair, and then he did it. It hurt a lot, and I could not understand why any woman could love it.I kept quiet, knowing him I said anything, he would get worse. Then he moved away and told me to fi
FREYA *Dreaming*I am walking in the forest, looking down on my feet. I leave small traces of frozen dirt where I just walked, but when I look further back, the ground is filled with fresh green grass and flowers. Then I see him, the black wolf, but this time his paws and mouth are colored red with blood.For some reason, I don’t feel scared, but I walk to him, and as expected, he doesn’t hurt me, so I run my hand through his fur, and he begins to relax. He turns his head and looks into the forest behind me, making me turn around to look. And there, towards us, the ice-colored wolf comes towards us, and it stops in front of me, sits down, looks at me, and waits.I carefully reach my hand out to her, and when my hand is close enough, she lifts her head and presses her nose against my hand. But the second I touch her, a surge of power explodes in my body, and everything within five meters becomes icy or frosty. I gasp and close
