Freya’s povMy mind was a spiralling mess the next few days, I couldn't get to Racheal or my stalker as I spent my last few days in the court. The organization provided housing where people could sleep and work and also get acquainted with the work ethic here. Artemis And I stayed together and in all those times I was keeping myself from going mad with curiosity and questions. And now we were going back to the pack house, tired and in need of a real home and space. I would have been tired but not when my sanity was at the brim of being lost.Artemis hugged me as we both retired to our individual room. I couldn't quite describe it, it was an uncanny feeling but he had been acting weird lately, especially with Jude and ever since that confrontation from Jude, I hadn't heard from him.He just dropped a bombshell and disappeared from the earth’s surface. I pushed open the door to my room and stepped in, the interior was welcoming and unnerving. Unfortunately the comfort my room offered

Freya’s pov“Freya stop! We are gonna get into trouble,” Rachael yelled from behind me. But I didn't care what she said or for her tremor I didn't care how much trouble I was going to get into, all that mattered was Artemis, was confronting my mate, whom I have bedded with since the day I arrived here, all I cared for was asking him if he killed my father all this time and kept me in the dark.“Freya! Freya!” Williams and Racheal called out to me. Their footsteps drew nigh, a sign that they were chasing me, trying to stop me from taking my rash action as they called it.Stopping abruptly I turned to them, “there is nothing either of you would say that would change my mind. Now I'm going to go and ask my mate, and NO, I would not add your names,” I said, cutting them off before they had the chance to say anything.I left them there speechless as I continued down the path that led to Artemis' presence. I didn't care to knock as I barged in, his beta and gamma were present talking to him

Freya’s pov“What do you mean,” Racheal came to my side. I stuffed some clothes into my duffel bag, she pulled my hands and veered me around, “What are you doing?”“I'm getting the hell out of here, we are getting out!” I said once more.“What? Why?” Williams yelled from behind.“Because,” I spun and faced him, “because I'm mated to a monster.”“Okay, even if we wanted to leave, we can't, Artemis would have his guards keeping watch,” Racheal held me again, “we can't escape, you can't escape,” she was looking directly into my eyes as she spoke.I snatched my hand away, “I can!” I must. I was on the brink of crying, the tears flowing into the corner of my eyes. Whenever I thought about it, it got so heavy and I just wanted to drop down dead but I would catch myself and push my shoulders back.“You can't!” she paused, I discreetly sniffed and tilted my head back, “And why is that?”“Because you are his, you are his mate,” she had said, and when she did the tears I was holding flowed sea

Freya's PovThe pain spread through my body as my wolf tried to claw her way out. I stopped and growled, getting on one knee, my hands found my heart as I fought to send her back but jade wasn't allowing it. She wanted to be let out, the pain and betrayal she felt, we felt, we wanted to both let it out.Racheal and Williams paused and came to my side, “you want to shift?” they asked bending down with me.I grunted and pushed her back, she should hold back, she wasn't the only one pained. She wasn't the only one suffering.“You have to let her out,” Williams told me to which I shook my head to, “not now.”With the last strength left in me, I took a long shaky breath and forced myself to my feet, while standing, I attempted to even my breathing till the sharp pain was dormant.“You should let her out and we have to keep moving. By now he might have noticed your absence,” Williams spoke, referring to Artemis. I made an effort to breathe normally and when I was sure the pain was passive,

Freya's Pov In my room I paced continuously, my mind running on and on and suddenly I wanted to be let out, I wanted to be free of this torture, my strewn all over my face causing me to groan from fury, I yanked a fistful of it and moved to the mirror.A scowl veiled my face like the uttermost layer of my face, from the corner of my eyes I caught a red sharp double mouth joined in a hilt lying on the table.I picked it up and cast one last glance on the long wavy hair that got on my face and without one last glance I chopped it off. It fell with a silent thud on the floor that resonated through me, I heard the sound of it drop internally but that didn't stop me from whittling away the ones left till they were nothing but shoulder length.“Argh!” I screamed and shrieked, casting a dull look at my hair that was once on my head, now lying disarrayed on the floor.The door opened and Racheal stood perplexed on her form, impossibly still, watching me for the longest while.“Oh my gosh, Fr
