CHAPTER SEVEN
FREYA’S POV
Well, I have always known that I’m my father’s favorite child, but I didn’t think he loved me to the extent that he would grant me my greatest wish, which was to marry Alpha Asher.
I fell in love with that man from the very first day I met him which was about seven years ago. My dad organized a banquet so he invited the other Alphaspl around including his father, Alpha Dakota who used to be Alpha at that time. Alpha Dakota came along with him and I busied myself that entire day with staring at him like some freak. When he left, that’s when my nights of fantasies began. I imagined myself as his wife, ruling by his side as his Luna and giving him beautiful babies and this is it! That dream of mine about to come true and I still can’t believe it!
I cannot wait for the day he’ll come to take me to his castle.
“Dad” I call enthusiastically as I rush over to my father who is gracefully seated on his mighty throne in the living room.
“Yes princess, how are you doing today?” He asks with a smile on, but I can tell from his voice that all is not well.
I know my dad all too well, I know his happy voice, I know his exhausted voice and I know his worried voice. Right now, he just spoke with his worried voice and when I look closer, I can see that his face is a bit wrinkled.
My father does not age.
He is not supposed to age.
He is literally immortal and now that a few wrinkles just appeared on his face over night, I can feel that something is wrong somewhere and I have to know.
“Dad you don’t look okay. I can tell from your voice and the wrinkles on your face that something’s wrong. Please tell me what’s wrong” I please worriedly.
“My biggest fear is about to come true.” He says in almost a whisper and the terrified look in his eyes in inevitable.
My father is not a weasel and the last thing he shows is his fear. If he has done so now, it can only mean that there’s a storm on the way.
A very serious storm.
“Dad” I call softly as I sit on the chair next to his throne. “Please tell me what’s going on. I hate to see you like this”
“I can feel it Freya, there’s something big coming our way. Something that will take away everything we have right now, something that will destroy us!”
“Dad, you are scaring me” I cry with a shaky voice.
“But you don’t need to be scared, because I’ve got this handled”
“How?”
“Remember that dagger the witch spoke about.”
“The dagger that can kill you if stabbed in your heart?”
“Yes, that dagger”
” What about it?”
“I need to get it. I had a night mare last night and even when I woke up, I kept hearing this voice and what it told me almost drove me crazy. I need to have that dagger destroyed”
“But, how are you going to do that?” I ask terrified.
“There’s a way. That dagger is in the possession of the Dakotas, it’s somewhere in their castle and once you get there and become Asher’s wife, I need you to find it and steal it for me”
“But…”
“No objections Freya, you will do just that. Is that understood?” He asks with all seriousness and I bow my head in submission.
“Yes father.
“Good.”
“So, how do … you know… intend to destroy it”
“You. You will help me destroy it” He states and look up at him abruptly, utterly and completely confused
“Me?” I ask pointing at my myself with my index finger.
“Yes, that dagger represents some sort of purity of the Dakota lineage. That means, they all have get intimate with their designated mates only, if not, it will be destroyed. But right now, it is impossible for any of the youths now to detect their mates. You are obviously not his mate, that’s why I want you to marry him and the moment you two get intimate, the dagger will sense it and it will be destroyed and I will get back to being invincible! You, my dear, are going stop all this stress I’m going through” He narrates and I swallow dryly.
It hurts to know that I’m not Asher’s rightful mate, but on a second thought I don’t care. Instead, at this point, I’m so grateful for the curse because at least I get to end up with the love of my life even if he’s not my mate.
“Also, when you marry him, I will merge our packs and become the Paramount Alpha!”
“What?”
“You heard me. But not to worry, I’m not going to have your husband killed, he is just going to be under me. That’s all”
“Dad, as long as you let us be together, you can do whatever it is you want. All I want is to be his wife”
“That’s my girl. So once you get to the Crystal Moon Pack, I need you to find that dagger and bring it to me at all cost. If you do that, I will be greatly pleased and I will reward you and your husband.”
“I will do just that father. Thank you so much”
If my father says he is going to reward someone, then it’s going to be a great reward. I’m going accomplish that mission within the twinkle of an eye. Just wait till I get there. “Uh…dad” I call and he looks up at me.
“Yes princess”
“Can I please take Astrid with me to the Crystal Moon Pack as my personal maid. You know I’ve grown too fun of her and it’ll be difficult for me to adapt with other maids”
“I’m afraid I can’t grant that wish of yours. I need Astrid to be here for as long as I can keep her. She still has some businesses of mine to attend to”
“Dad…” I call putting on my best puppy face. ” Please, I’m begging you. Just let me go with her”
“And I say no. Your husband will definitely assign as many maids for you as you want. Now, dismiss that topic!” He commands firmly.
I angrily rise up from my seat and storm out of the living room with anger boiling in my heart.
Leaving Astrid behind will be so unfair to me.
She has to serve me until she dies!
“Whoa whoa whoa!” calm down young lady. Why are you so worked up?” My elder brother, Tyr, asks and I stop on my tracks and look at him still annoyed.
“Dad says I can’t take Astrid with me to the Crystal Moon Pack. Arghhhh!!!” I scream in anger and he laughs in amusement.
I don’t even know what’s amusing about this issue.
“Come on, you don’t need Astrid. I’m sure Asher is going to appoint over a dozen servants for you over there. Besides, Astrid and I have still got unfinished business”
“What unfinished business?” I ask with a creased brow and he gives a cocky smile and walks away.
I can bet on my life that he is up to no good
Poor Astrid.
I angrily stomp my feet on the ground and rush into my bedroom.
I want only Astrid as me personal maid and no one else!
