Aiden had been struggling with the conflict between his love for Freya and his loyalty to his pack for some time. He had tried to reason with his father, but to no avail. As the night wore on, Aiden couldn't shake the feeling of guilt that he was causing Freya so much pain.
He tossed and turned in his bed, his mind racing with thoughts of his father's disapproval and the fear of losing Freya. He knew that he couldn't continue to hide his relationship with Freya, and he knew that he needed to confront his father about it.Despite the late hour, Aiden rose from his bed and made his way to his father's quarters. He knocked softly on the door, and after a moment, his father's voice boomed through the wood."What is it, Aiden? It's late."Aiden took a deep breath and pushed the door open. His father was sitting at his desk, papers strewn about in front of him. He looked up as Aiden entered, his expression hardening at the sight of his son.Aiden sat on a chair besides his father’s table. The tension in the room was palpable as the two werewolves faced each other in silence for what felt like an eternity.Finally, Aiden broke the silence. "Father, I understand your concerns about Freya, but I love her. She's the mother of my children, and I can't imagine my life without her."Harlock's expression remained stern as he replied, "Aiden, you know as well as I do that our pack has always followed our traditions. We mate with those from our own pack, to keep our bloodlines strong and our way of life intact. Freya is not one of us, and she never will be."Aiden shook his head, frustration building. "But that doesn't matter. We love each other, and we can make it work. I can still be a part of this pack, I can still be loyal and devoted to our traditions, but I need Freya in my life."Harlock leaned forward, his voice low and menacing."Aiden, I will not tolerate you defying the pack. You are the future of this pack, and you must set an example for the others. If you go against our traditions, it will create chaos and instability within our ranks."
Aiden stood up, his anger now boiling over. "Chaos? Instability? You call that love? You're so afraid of change that you can't even see what's right in front of you. Freya is a part of me, and I will not abandon her for the sake of some outdated tradition."Harlock rose from his chair as well, his eyes flashing with fury. "You will do as I say, Aiden. Your duty is to this pack, and you will not bring shame upon us. I forbid you from seeing Freya any longer."Aiden clenched his fists, his resolve unwavering. "I won't abandon the woman I love, Father. I can't. I'll find a way to make this work, with or without your approval."With that, Aiden turned and stormed out of the room, leaving his father behind.As Aiden left the room, he felt a mix of emotions: anger, frustration, and sadness. He knew that his decision to defy his father's wishes would have consequences, and he worried about the future of the pack.
He walked through the halls of the pack house, lost in thought as he tried to come up with a plan. He knew that he couldn't keep seeing Freya in secret forever, but he also knew that his father wouldn't budge on his stance.As he walked, he passed by several other pack members, who all cast him curious glances. Aiden knew that his behavior was out of character, but he couldn't bring himself to care. All that mattered was Freya and their children.Aiden eventually found himself outside, staring up at the night sky. The stars twinkled above him, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of longing. He longed for a future where he and Freya could be together without fear of retribution, a future where their love wasn't seen as a threat.But he knew that the reality was much harsher. His father was the pack alpha, and his word was law. If Aiden continued to see Freya, he risked being cast out of the pack, or even worse, being killed for his defiance.Despite these dangers, Aiden was determined to find a way to make it work. He loved Freya with all his heart, and he knew that he couldn't abandon her now. He just had to figure out how to convince his father and the rest of the pack that their love was worth fighting for.Aiden was acutely aware of the significance of the conflict that was brewing within his pack. The love he felt for Freya was consuming him, but at the same time, he was bound by his loyalty to the pack and the traditions they upheld. The situation was not just about him and Freya anymore; it had become a battle between his heart and his duties as a member of the pack. The outcome of this conflict would have far-reaching consequences, not just for Aiden and Freya but for the entire pack.Aiden spent many sleepless nights agonizing over the situation. He knew that his father, as the pack alpha, held the ultimate authority, and going against his wishes could result in dire consequences. At the same time, he could not bear the thought of causing Freya any more sadness. It felt as if his entire world was closing in on him, and he had to make a decision that could potentially impact the future of the pack.Despite the immense pressure he was under, Aiden refused to give up on his love for Freya. He believed that love could conquer all, and he was determined to find a way to make it work. He spent long hours thinking about ways to reconcile his love for Freya with his loyalty to the pack. He knew that it was a delicate balance, and one wrong move could result in disaster.Freya sat in Racheal's living room, her eyes red and puffy from crying. Racheal, a wise and comforting presence, sat beside her, offering her a cup of tea."I just can't believe he would do this to me," Freya said, her voice shaking with emotion. "I thought we had something special. I thought he loved me."Racheal placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Oh, my dear, I'm so sorry. But you can't blame yourself for his actions. Aiden has been raised with certain traditions and beliefs that are hard to shake."Freya sniffled and wiped away a tear. "But what about me? What about our child? How can I do this alone?"Racheal's eyes softened with compassion. "You're not alone, my dear. I'm here for you, and you have other loved ones who care for you. As for the child, it's a blessing, and it will bring you great joy. You'll see."Freya nodded, taking a sip of her tea. "But what about Aiden? Do you think he'll come back to me?"Racheal hesitated for a moment before answering. "I can't say f
Aiden's heart sank as he heard the news. He knew his father would be angry, but he didn't expect him to find out so soon. He tried to calm his nerves as he made his way to his father's study, but he couldn't help the feeling of dread that settled in his stomach.As he walked into the room, he saw his father, Harlock, sitting behind his desk, his face twisted in anger. Aiden took a deep breath and prepared himself for what was to come.Aiden's heart was pounding as he stood in front of his father, Harlock, who was clearly fuming. He knew that the news of his continued relationship with Freya would not go down well with his father, but he had hoped to buy more time before facing his anger."What is the meaning of this, Aiden?" Harlock bellowed, his voice echoing through the large room. "I hear that you have been seeing that girl from the other pack again. After everything we've talked about, after everything we've done to try and keep our bloodlines strong."Aiden could feel his anger r
Freya's aunt, a skilled midwife and experienced healer, had been preparing for the delivery for weeks. She had gathered all the necessary herbs and supplies and had been training Freya on how to breathe and push during labor. As the day of the delivery approached, Freya felt both excited and nervous, knowing that the arrival of her and Andie's child would bring both joy and challenges.Freya had known that the day would come when she would give birth to Andie's child, but she had not expected it to be this soon. The contractions had started early in the morning, and she could feel the baby pushing down against her cervix. It was a feeling like no other, and she tried to stay calm and focused despite the pain. She took deep breaths, trying to remember the breathing techniques her aunt had taught her, and her aunt was by her side, holding her hand and encouraging her with each contraction.As the contractions continued, they grew more intense, and Freya's aunt could see the pain etched
Aiden was on edge. The moment he heard the news about the guards coming to kill his newborn baby, he knew he had to act quickly. He could not let his own father be responsible for the death of his child. Without any second thought, he started to transform into his wolf form, his eyes blazing with anger and determination. When the guards arrived, they were taken aback by Aiden's sudden transformation. They had never seen their alpha in this form before. The lead guard hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do next. But then, he remembered his duty and the orders of their alpha. "We cannot disobey our alpha," the lead guard stated, his voice firm and resolute. "We were ordered to take the child and kill it. We have to carry out our duty." Aiden snarled, his hackles rising at the thought of anyone laying a hand on his child. "I won't let you touch my baby!" he growled, his teeth bared in a menacing snarl. "I won't let you or my father hurt him. I will protect him with my life." Th
Harlock's anger dissipated as he took in the sight of his severely injured son lying on the ground. He had never been happy with the kind of relationship he had with Aiden, but he kept hoping that his son would come around and stop disappointing him, putting their pack at risk."Take him to my chambers," Harlock ordered the guards, his voice grave and solemn. "I need to attend to him personally. No one else is to enter until I say so."The guards bowed their heads in deference to their alpha and carefully lifted Aiden's limp form off the ground. They followed Harlock as he led them back to his quarters, their footsteps echoing in the empty hallways.As they entered Harlock's chambers, the guards gently laid Aiden on a large fur rug in the middle of the room. Harlock knelt down beside him, his large hand hovering above his son's forehead. He closed his eyes and focused, drawing on the ancient power within him to heal his son's wounds.Aiden's body was ravaged with bruises and cuts, and
Freya was in a state of shock and confusion after the attack on her and her newborn by Harlock's guards. She felt that her safety and the safety of her baby were in jeopardy, and she needed someone to talk to. She decided to confide in her aunt Racheal, who had been with her throughout her pregnancy and delivery. As she made her way to her aunt's room, she couldn't help but feel anxious and scared. She wondered if she had made a mistake by choosing to be with Aiden, who seemed to be causing so much trouble for everyone, including her and their child. Her thoughts were interrupted by her aunt's warm embrace as she welcomed her into her home. "Freya, my child, what's wrong? You look pale and scared. What happened?" asked Racheal, her eyes filled with concern. Freya took a deep breath and began to recount the events that had transpired earlier in the day. She spoke of the attack on her and her baby, and how she felt that their safety was compromised. Racheal listened carefully, taking
The anticipation for the Red Blood Moon Ceremony was mounting, and Aiden was swamped with preparations. As the upcoming ceremony drew closer, he found himself with less and less free time. He longed to see Freya, but couldn't sneak out of the pack to do so. He knew how important this event was for their pack, and as a member of the royal family, he had a duty to uphold. The ceremony was a historic occasion for their pack, as it symbolized the unity and strength of their forefathers when they first came together to form the pack. Despite the busyness of the preparations, Aiden's thoughts constantly drifted towards Freya and their baby. He hoped they were safe and well, and couldn't wait to see them once the ceremony was over. He had a nagging feeling that something was wrong, and he couldn't shake off the uneasiness that had been plaguing him since the incident with his father and the guards. As the day of the ceremony approached, Aiden's schedule became even more hectic. He spent lo
As Aiden stormed out of the room, he felt a wave of anger and betrayal wash over him. How could his father make such a decision for him? He had always believed that he would be able to choose his own mate, someone he truly loved and connected with, not just a politically advantageous match.As he walked through the crowded hall, he noticed that many of the other wolves were staring at him. He knew that word of his father's decision had already spread, and he felt a mix of embarrassment and frustration. He just wanted to get out of there.But before he could make his way to the exit, he was stopped by a group of young wolves, all of them eager to congratulate him on his upcoming marriage to Asher. Aiden felt sick to his stomach as he smiled and thanked them, all the while feeling like a fraud. How could he go through with this? How could he marry someone he didn't even know, let alone love?As he made his way back to his chambers, Aiden couldn't help but think about Freya. She was the
