Freya's povArtemis was standing waiting for me, his hand by his side like the perfect gentleman that he was. A smile was on his face in full display, I didn't think he could smile in public.His dark reputation and all. When I was just two arms away, he stretched forth his hand as I got near, I slipped my palm into his and it locked in like a perfect puzzle piece.The people had now gathered and looked at Artemis and me. With the support of Artemis, we climbed up taking the stage.All eyes were now on us, all faces that bore hate towards me. No one here was my friend. As if to back up my assumptions, I saw the woman in the gallery, the human that lost her mate and claimed that Artemis saved her.What caught my attention wasn't her, rather the person by her side with whom she spoke with. Jude the two faced cunt. Artemis had told me all about him, he was the one that invented the notion of my sparring with Merona. He wanted to kick me out, him, and the rest of the Court. I was also in

Freya's PovWith curiosity, I watched the heated argument between Artemis and Jude. The tension emitting from them had me electrified.It wasn't the one hot burning tension but rather a facade of smiles and teasing. It was a downplay of what they actually felt inside. The heat was visible from their stare. I wondered what was it that got them so heated up. It had to be something big, but what?No doubt Jude must have pissed Artemis off and by the look of things, neither of them were backing down.Wait!Did any of what they were discussing have anything to do with me? I remembered how they were against me joining the court. Could that have anything to do with me?I sincerely hope not.With a pat on Jude's shoulder, Artemis walked out leaving a confused and annoyed Jude to himself.Something big was steering at the horizon and I knew very well that Artemis would not tell me, so I was left with only one option; finding out for myself.He started towards me when he reached my side, he lea

Freya’s Pov I retired to my chambers later in the evening with all my plans to get choked and gagged by Artemis thrown through the window where my stalker had run through. After seeing Artemis look so appetizing in that black tuxedo the last thing I wanted to do was sleep alone in a cold bed away from a strong hard chest but here I was doing the same thing I was very much against doing. Sleeping away from Artemis.He had chosen to look around and act all security vigilant, inspecting and looking every nook and cranny of the pack for my stalker.Apparently, it wasn't Jude. He claimed to have never gotten into the female convenience. It wasn't like we were expecting him to come clean and suddenly own up and go all like, “Wow you caught me,” so we had to keep looking. But he was still our suspect.In some parts of my mind, I didn't think he was the one. I didn't have that connection, that tells that he was the one, it just seemed too easy and my mind didn’t easily buy it. That giddy fu

Artemis povWe had seen a dark figure hiding and lurking behind dark walls, with movement as stealthy as a cat. I knew immediately it was Freya’s stalker, if his stealthy skills didn't show it then the black spy outfit he wore sold him out.His movement was suspicious and immediately he understood that we were on his tail he started running and that only confirmed our suspicion.“Take that way!” I ordered running up the stairs.I was vexed literally, I would have been lying down next to a panting Freya that merely just came down from her first climax but instead, here I was chasing down a masked stalker.He was going to regret the first breath he took when he crossed foot into this world for stealing our orgasm.“Call the guards, check everywhere and post guards at every feet of the gate,” I ordered. He wasn't getting out of here. At least not alive.“Alpha,” Iris called from the entrance of the ground hall, jogging up to me.“What?” I asked in divided attention, my head swinging to t

Freya's PovHe was frozen by my side under the bed as we laid still and peeked from the little ajar made between the bed and the tile.Large feet stumped inside, shaking the entire building like they were giants. Feet which were concealed in black soldier boots, as each foot connected with the ground we could feel the shudder as well as the fear resonating within us.They wouldn't check the bed, would they?“Search everywhere!!” Artemis commanded like a god. He was furious and if the large strides he threw and rummaged through the purple curtains didn't say much then definitely his voice carried it.I imagined his nose flared as with every muscle in his body, his veins on full parade as he led the people.This was wrong, everything about it was wrong, from the decision down to hiding under the bed with my stalker, everything was wrong with this.I felt guilty. I had betrayed him, his trust.Familiar voices rang in my ear as I registered whom they belonged to; the girls.My hand covere
