“When Brandon realized I wasn’t getting pregnant,” Freya continued, “he started sing sex as punishment. If I was too stubborn to give him heirs, then he’d use violence instead. Her voice grew bitter. ‘The only upside’ was that he finished quicker when he was violent, so I got brief moments to recover.”

She turned to me. “Before you showed up, he never put other girls near my cell. could hear them crying, so I knew there were others, but I never

understood why he suddenly changed his approach with you.”

“Besides the guards and Brandon himself, did you interact with anyone else?” Alpha King Nathan asked, his expression thoughtful.

“Not clearly,” Freya frowned, trying to remember. After I found wolfsbane in my ood, I refused to eat. They started forcing injections on me. Everything’s

hazy after that just voices and blurry faces.”

“Diana mentioned your contraceptive implant damaged your uterine wall,” Alpha King Nathan said bluntly. “In a twisted way, that probably saved your life. If you’d given him what he wanted, you might’ve become a permanent breeding too He leaned forward. “From your description, Brandon seems more like a

pawn than a mastermind a spoiled heir following someone else’s plan.”

“That’s the creepy part,” Freya laughed coldly. “He’s not particularly smart, but I overheard enough to know he has this weird talent for manipulation. He always gets what he wants.”

I felt that too during my captivity,” I nodded. “He never fought his own battles,st pulled strings from the sidelines while somehow controlling

everything.

“Alright, that’s enough for now,” Alpha King Nathan stood. “In half an hour, you’ll head to the castle to prepare for tonight under Luna Selena’s guidance. She’ll make sure you’re well-fed.” His eyes sparkled with mischief. “You’ll stay at the castle tonight. No need to pack – Luna Selena has everything ready.

Aria’s already there helping her prepare.”

The way he mentioned Luna Selena made me smile. He knew I hated those elaborate dressing rituals, but also that Luna Selena could always persuade me to cooperate – just as she could make this powerful Alpha King change his mind with a look.

‘Freya, Taric added, ‘Cyrus is gathering your requested equipment and will meet you at the castle. He seems excited – apparently you two might have

common interests.” He nodded once, “You’re dismissed.”

As we rose to leave, Alpha King Nathan called to Freya: “I know you have many they choose to return, we’ll provide temporary sanctuary in royal territory. Your

help however we can.’

answered questions, but we’ve started searching for your pack members. If ck’s land remains abandoned. Whether you decide to stay or leave, well

Tears welled in Freya’s eyes, though she managed a grateful smile. I gently wrap my arm around her shoulders and led her out.

“He wasn’t kidding about Luna Selena having everything ready,” I said quietly. S. are you really that good with computers?”

“It’s nothing special,’ Freya laughed. “Well, maybe a little. As a kid, I had a knack or breaking into systems. Pulled some pranks on my dad, lett little tricks. But tech changes so fast I havent practiced in ages. That’s why I’m glad Cyrus coming. If we hit newer security systems, at least someone can help.

‘Let’s find Mark,” I suggested. “We still have time before heading to the castle. Wh Cyrus busy preparing equipment, Mark’s probably eating alone.”

We laughed as we walked toward the dining hall. The place buzzed with activitySentinels finishing meals, others just ending training sessions, some enjoying rare downtime.

‘Didn’t expect so many Sentinels here, Freya whispered, clearly amazed.

I had to get used to it too,” I nodded. ‘Most senior Sentinels don’t actually live ere. This place mainly houses newcomers and trainees since we train more frequently and instructors need to find us easily. But everyone comes here to eat especially at dinner it’s when everyone gets together.”

“I see, Freya nodded thoughtfully. Just need time to adjust, I guess. Look, there Mark.”

“Hey, you two!” Mark waved from across the room. “Heard you’ve got an exciting mission tonight. Am I the only one left out?”

“Want to take my place next to Alistair?” I smirked. “You’d look great in my dress

‘On second thought,” Mark pretended to consider it, “I’d rather stick to protecting Cyrus and keeping you all safe.

‘Wait, you’re going too?” I shoved him. “Why’d you lie?”

‘It’s good to make you worry about me sometimes,” he winked. “Keeps things interesting.”

I rolled my eyes. “Are you riding with us to the castle, or does Taric have other plans?”

‘I’ve got the honor of escorting two beautiful ladies,” he gave an exaggerated bow “Cyrus is on his way with Freya’s tech stuff. Car’s ready when we are.”

We laughed as we headed for the exit. Halfway across the hall, a cold voice cut through our conversation:

“Look who it is, the golden girl off to please someone new. Whose bed are you climbing into for favors this time, or are you planning to get captured again?”

“Who the hell do you think you are?” Before I could respond, Freya jumped to my defense, her voice fierce.

Seraphina stood there with arms crossed, looking smug. “I’m Seraphina, your superior and Evelyn’s too. Everyone here knows how she climbed the ranks. All

“That’s enough, Mark cut her off, his voice dangerously low. “Evelyn earned her place. Quit spreading your petty rumors. You’ve never been particularly
