*LAIN*Velvet was gone and this time I had a feeling that she wasn't going to come back. I guess everything worked out for the best but something Still bothered me.I still couldn't understand why Freya chose to leave with that vampire. Was he her lover?I needed to find out everything about him and find a way to get her back here.Axel scoffed in annoyance."Are you hearing yourself right now?" He asked in disbelief.I shrugged carelessly."Okay maybe I was wrong about not having feelings for her but I want her back and this time I mean it from the bottom of my heart."I'm sure that his eyes have widened in shock by now."Just leave her alone Lain and by the way I'm done cleaning after you so you better figure out your own shit." I smiled to myself."Come on, there's no hard feelings here Axel. All we need to do is probably say that we're sorry and buy her some flowers and I'm sure she'll take us back."Axel remained silent and sighed deeply."Look Freya deserves someone better and

*FREYA* My eyes jerked open when I heard the floor creaking with footsteps. I turned on the lamp."Tate?"There's no way he would be sneaking around the house just to scare me. It was very unlikely.There was no response so maybe I was just imagining things. I turned off the lamp and went back to sleep.It was just a matter of minutes when I felt someone clamp their hand over my mouth silencing my screams and my training kicked in.I grabbed his arm trying to lose hold of him but my vision began getting blurry and Ember fell first before we could call on our fire.My eyes slowly closed on their own accord and I fell into a deep sleep taking a glimpse of the man before I sank into oblivion.I saw Drex and I'd never forget his face even if I wanted to and I'm sure that the dark tide must have sent him.Those people will never rest until I'm finally dead but I will find a way to get out of this and I know that Tate will save me.This time I'll be the one to kill them with my bare hands

*FREYA*It's my first day back in the pack and let's just say that I'm not excited to see anyone anymore because they all didn't care about me when their alpha sold me to the dark tide.They might be smiling at me but deep down I know that they all spite me and they'll just pretend to like me.I was making myself a bowl of cereal when someone grabbed it and threw it to the ground . I watched the bowl break into a few pieces and all the cereal was on the floor.I sighed deeply and looked up meeting the person's face and it was none other than Velvet.The stupid bitch was still holding a grudge after I stole her man a few days before her mating ceremony.I cocked a brow at her and crossed my arms over my chest."Hey Velvet I missed you too" I taunted, forcing a smile.She scoffed in annoyance."Everything was going well until you showed up and ruined things for me why didn't you just fucking die when the dark tide took you in? If I'd known that you'd survive I would have made sure that

*LAIN*"What the actual fuck Freya?"She looked away refusing to meet my gaze and I cupped both of her cheeks and made her look into my eyes.It was clear that things between us weren't settled and we had to figure out where our relationship was actually standing."It was a moment of weakness just because we kissed doesn't mean that we have chemistry or any sort of relationship."I stared at her in disbelief."Seriously? You're just going to pretend like you didn't feel a single thing?" She rolled her eyes at me."I have a mate and his name is Tate and when he finds out what happened between us he's going to be pissed off."I scoffed in annoyance."Come on, stop denying it already, there's nothing going on between you and the vampire, you're just playing this game to get back at me."I sighed deeply trying to reason with her."I won't end his life because he took you in when you had no one and I'll get on my knees to thank him if that's what he wants but you belong to me Freya."She

*LAIN*After the meeting was over, I went back to my study and poured myself a drink. If I don't do something to improve the pack they might replace me and I can't let that happen because this is my father's pack.No amount of money would ever compensate the women who lost their mates during the attack and I couldn't help but feel guilty for depriving children of their fathers.That's how Aniko lost her mate back in my father's era and she has never been the same since that day.The poor woman is always locked in her room or either keeping herself busy in the kitchen.There was a knock on the door."Come in."The door opened and Velvet walked and she looked out of it.Was she fucking drunk right now?I groaned deeply.The elders of the pack have already made my day harder than it is and I didn't need Velvet to put the finishing touches.I placed my glass on the table pointing towards the door she came in from."Get out."She pouted her lips."Come on alpha Lain are you really going t
