“what were you guys talking about?” Freya asked the two wolves who sat grimly and quietly on the kitchen table kara’s eyes seemed reluctant to say anything as she looked at Lucien. “I heard you say I was in a prophecy” “you heard wrong” Lucian spoke as he stood up from the kitchen stool his height towering over her small frame but her eyes did not relent she stared at him directly, Her green eyes peering into his grey ones, “not only am I being kept in the house where I know nothing or no one, full of werewolves of my enemies and now you say I’m in a damn prophecy and no one can tell me?” Freya was fed up, she would look for a way to leave, well as she was about to leave the kitchen she felt a hand pull her back making her turn fully to him, Her breath hitched by how close they were before she pulled her hand forcefully away from his grip and stepped back giving them a good distance of two feet, her chest heaving in annoyance, “you may think you’re safer with your coven than her
Freya didn’t come out of her room after that, staying in all day, she had only spoken to kara anytime wolf brings in food for her And any mention of Lucien by Kara, Freya would tune her out with a tight-lipped smile, although she was trapped, it didn’t mean she wasn’t plotting her way to leave the pack grounds She had gotten a plan in her head but she only hope it will work out and Kara would not catch on, the old she-wolf had later come into her room during the evening with snacks she ate on the table while she gave Freya an easy smile “ thank you” she muttered, and kara gave her a nod “ Kara, I would want to see the packed ground if that’s alright with you, I’ve been kept inside for so long I feel stuffy and sick,” she said with the most innocent face she could muster Kara looked skeptical, but understood, “ well it’s been a long since I tended to the garden, I need a hand patting the new seedling in, for sure you can help?” And with that Freya had perked uprising off the bed, s
•FREYA’S POV• . . Run and don’t look back, Freya! I told myself as the two rogue wolves followed me into the darkness, I was trapped and they looked over me towering over me with their teeth snarling, one had jumped at me with a thundering rage and sunk its claws into my heart! “ no!” I screamed waking up from a nightmare, sweat pooled on my body as looked around the unfamiliar room, with a Victorian bed frame and blood-red silk sheets, It felt warm but unfamiliar “ you’re awake” a familiar yet cold voice called, it was Lucien and he sat in a chair looking at me, how was he here? ..How was I here? I couldn’t recall what happened last as my head hurt, someone had saved me taken me, my hand hurt as I looked over to see it bandaged, and my body sore from assault “ do you have any idea what would have happened in those woods Freya?! Moons, what were you thinking!” I couldn’t answer not only because of the very obvious ‘I told you so’ from his menacing gaze, but also the pounding
•FREYA’S POV• “What do you mean?” I asked, walking up from the bed even if my head hurt and felt like it would roll off my head, I moved over to peer at my reflection in the mirror I was shocked at what I was met with, my eyes no longer were a green color but had gotten a purple hue in the mirror, which had never happened But it disappeared instantly making me all the more confused, it made my head sting, I felt like I could hear everyone and everything, all the noise, and force from afar and close, all at once! I could hear Kara talking to someone outside and the sounds of people walking and talking, it was all too much, all too sudden. Lucien had walked up to me, his eyes filled with so many questions as he whispered “ who are you?” He touched my hands, noticing how hot my body become, his touch was like a cool welcome to my hot skin, but I couldn’t answer, I felt like I was burning from the inside out “you’re burning up Freya!” Everything became too much, the first of the hea
Kaiden had noticed Freya’s gaze on her brother who had left the arena, he too also wondered what went on in his brother’s head and why he ignored her since he cared so much as to scent her before.He had neared the unsuspecting female, and he tried to scare her to make her jump, his hands had shifted to her neck when he smelt a sweet scent from her, but his eyes had drifted to the mark, but he had gotten a quick second look of. Before he could inspect it further, she had pushed him away with so much force and her eye met his, but he would see she look scared she clasped a hand on her neck to cover it “ did you see it?” Freya muttered to him “ Did I see what? Lucien give you a cold stare? Yes, I did see that” he called seeing her body calm in relief, “ trouble in paradise?” He called with a smirk leaning on the railing, almost everyone had left the ring pit, and only they and a few guards that were out of their hearing range stood, “ There is no paradise, to begin with, Kaiden” “
Diandra was not happy, one moment Lucien's attention was on her and Alpha Nathan but now it was all on Freya, she felt like he was possessed by her, his whole attention gone to the devil blood-sucking demons who had taken everyone’s attention in the room.Vampires were born with an alluring aura that made them take prey easily, they were seen as beautiful and innocent porcelain dolls but the moment you get close they take you, and right now in the room, they were all Freya’s prey wrapped in her fingers “ What is that blood-sucking murder doing here?” She whispered dreadfully to Lucien, whose attention had dwindled from Freya to her “ she is needed in this festival, we have to show that we still have the upper hand,” Lucien explained, but Diandra had a feeling that wasn't the only reason he wanted her here “though she is mine by the law of the Ancestors, I can feel the vampires may want to use this to their advantage to start a war” “ and what does that have to do with her!?” the s
•• . . Reckless. Was what Lucien’s brain has pondered to do, to act recklessly, to damn all the wolves in attendance and take her right on that dance floor with everyone watching. The emotions swelled inside him when He saw her enter the room, the dress on her was exquisite knowing that kara chose it well, to make her the jewel of the ball and she was. He had tried avoiding her after that day after she collapsed again, it was unsightly for the king to care so much about a stranger what more the less a vampire! But not at this moment, he could care less about the thoughts that had bitten his mind, there she was the bell of the ball and in the arms of his brother while he stayed seated. Kaiden had touched her body so often and so sensual That Lucien had almost let out a growl of distaste several times, As he could hardly hear anything Diandra had said he ignored her to the point she had left. But what made him madder, was the scent of interest and slight arousal that came from a
Freya had groaned repeatedly through the early morning as her head felt like a brick had laid on top of it, she felt like a mess.Who knew that werewolf wine was that strong and could cause a major headache, worse, she hadn’t eaten anything The door had opened and it was Kara who had come in with a small bowl filled with a dark liquid “ here have some of this” he called as Freya sat up and leaned over the headboard, “ it’s a tonic brewed for the hangovers” “ ugh, it tastes-“ “ bad?” Kara answered with a giggle “ but goodness Freya what made you drink that much yesterday, you should know our wine is very strong!” She dotted on the young girl “ I wish that I was told that” “ I know you must have a pounding headache, the tunic helps a lot for your queasy stomach and head, we do have a hot spring in the private bath, I don’t think anyone is up right now so you can go soak in it” Freya didn’t complain as she got off the bed and walked quietly out of her room, taking a few steps to a
