Freya staggered backward as the last man standing proved too strong for her to beat down. She was already exhausted from battling with his colleagues. Her legs were shaking in exhaustion as she moved backward, swinging the dagger around to scare him off, but he kept advancing towards her with the dagger he also held. “You vixen! Wait until I dissect you alive and make you chew your body parts as food!” The man growled, then rushed towards her. He raised the dagger and brought it down on her. Freya's knees buckled as she fell to the ground in fear, awaiting the pain from the dagger which was headed straight to her skull.However, she never felt that pain. Instead, she heard Nebra hiss in anger, “My beautiful daggers are meant to be flaunted and not used as a weapon. How dare you make me use them, you jerkface!” Freya opened her eyes slowly to see Nebra hitting the man's cold body in righteous indignation.“They cost me a fortune, now they have your worthless blood on it! Now I real
“I guess I was thinking too much.” Nebra laughed softly, disappointment evident in her voice. “For a moment, I actually hoped we'd be related.” “It's fine. Uncle's wife did escape during the attack. A part of me hopes she'd still be alive. I was also hoping she was pregnant during that time.” Cleopatra said in consolation, getting up. “Yeah.” Nebra got up as well and walked out of the tent. For someone she only met yesterday, she didn't understand why she really hoped Freya was related to her. “Well, we don't always get what we want. I'll just make Freya my student. Speaking of that, what are they doing today?” Nebra mumbled to herself as she took her seat as one of the spectators. Thankfully, they were just about to begin. Lain climbed the stage to announce the rules of today's tournament. “Ten more contestants were added to the tournament yesterday. So that brings us to 300 contestants. Today, they'd be divided into groups of 3. Which leaves us with 100 groups. Your groups have
Minutes after Freya left, Mariah still stood rooted to the spot, gritting her teeth angrily. She should've killed Freya back in Blackwood Pack.If someone had told her a year ago that a filth like Freya would say such words to her, she would've had the person beheaded. “Group 36 got their egg smashed! Group 35 wins!” Lain's voice jolted her back to the present. She was in group 37. Her face-off with Freya successfully triggered her desire to win. She'd win this tournament and show that omega she'd never amount to her even if she hoarded ten true alphas to boost her social status.Mariah unclenched her fist, stabilized herself and walked towards the ring.“Group 37 consists of Parker Hughes, Mariah Armstrong and Bruce Cooper. While group 38 consists of Jackson Brown, Olivia Thompson and Olaf Anderson.” Lain introduced before walking away. The ring was just a place to introduce them. After the introduction, the six contestants would walk into the open field, which gave them a wide ra
Blackwood PackThe pack elders sat in the conference room watching Alexander kiss the girl on his lap hungrily. He didn't even care that he was in the midst of his elders. Hell, he didn't even care that the father of his proclaimed Luna was one of them. “Alpha Alexander, we've been here for more than ten minutes, and we're yet to begin the meeting.” One of the elders complained, placing his hands on the table. It was only then that Alexander paused and took his mouth off the girl's body. His unkempt hair covered his face, shielding his darkened eyes from them. However, instead of responding to this elder, he turned to Daniel, Freya, and Mariah's father. “Have you heard from either of your daughters ever since they went to the Council?” He questioned with a hoarse voice. Daniel fidgeted with his fingers, which were hidden from sight. Freya's departure to the Council had made him famous and more respected within the pack. And the fact she was mated to three alphas, even though it
Marinette had a blank look on her face when she heard Nebra's question. “What is that supposed to mean?” She croaked, finding it difficult to breathe because of Nebra's grip on her collar. “I walked over to Cleopatra's office and looked you up. No one probably noticed since there are numerous people roaming the Council, but the face I saw in Marinette Hutchins' document doesn't look like yours. Not even close. Moreover, I have proof of who you are. So don't even think of fucking with me!” Nebra scoffed, tightening her grip on Marinette's collar. Marinette's iris constricted when she heard this. It was just for a brief moment, but it was long enough for Nebra to catch onto it. “Now that's the look I expect you to have.” Nebra smiled and released her grip on Marinette's collar. “Are you going to take me to Cleopatra?” Marinette asked numbly behind her. “I'm supposed to, but that will be after you tell me all about the witch who is controlling your father. Furthermore, where the he
“How did you guys get in?” Mariah asked after she detached herself from Daniel. For some reason, Alexander noticed she didn't look eager to see him. In fact, instead of standing beside him like she usually did, she stuck beside Daniel. “There was a letter from the Council inviting Alpha Alexander to the pack. It stated he could come with two people from his pack. He chose me as one of them.” Daniel replied enthusiastically. Freya looked better than she did in Blackwood Pack, and he was proud of how she looked. “Is that so? How long are you allowed to stay?” Mariah went ahead to ask. This wasn't because she cared, but because…“I've been looking all over the place for you, b…” A handsome lad said behind her, almost snaking his hands around her when she took a step backward, a trace of panic flashing past her eyes. “This is my father, the alpha of my pack and his beta. Everyone, this is Donovan, a friend of mine.” She introduced him to them, giving him a look that begged for him to
"So what happened between you and your friend?" Brianna asked as she tended to Freya's injury. Brianna wasn't one to talk whenever she was working and Freya wasn't in the mood to talk about what was going on with Sarah. However, when she thought of how this woman was one of the first people to treat her like a living thing, she decided to tell her. "She was my roommate. Everything was fine until she slipped inflammatory drugs into my bottle of water despite being aware how badly it affects me." "What was her reaction when you told her what the drugs do to your body?" Brianna questioned further, putting a cast over the injury. Freya paused, her mind recalling the events of that day when she couldn't bear the pain that came with the food brought to their room. She recalled the worried look on Sarah's face when she found out what was happening and even tried to leave in an attempt to report the matter to the kitchen staff. "She acted empathetic. Even acted like she cared about my he
“You said we weren't going to train!” Freya's complaining voice came up. “I didn't say that. I said 'something like that'.” Nebra countered as she blindfolded Freya's eyes and stepped backward. “It also seems like you promised I won't get hurt.” Freya scoffed, “If this continues, I'll drop dead before the combat tournament ends.” “Don't be like that. You're almost three days into the tournament. The main tournament begins tomorrow, you need to be prepared for anything.” Nebra shrugged, relaxing on a wall. “But…” “Shhh!” Nebra shushed, and an eerie silence fell in the room. “Umm, Nebra? Are you still there?” Freya called out when she no longer heard Nebra's breathing. However, Nebra didn't respond. So Freya reached up to her face and attempted to pull off the blindfold.“Don't do that.” Nebra's voice came up. “Ah, thank goodness. I was worried you left me. I mean, that'd be a good thing.” Freya was saying, but changed her words midway. Even though Nebra stole her most of the t
