CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT
ASTRID’S POV
I waited for Alpha Asher all night, but he didn’t come to check on me like he always does.
He told me he was going to come, but he didn’t and now I’m worried.
Did something go wrong?
Did he change his mind?
No!
I need to stop overthinking.
He couldn’t have changed his mind. He told me he didn’t like Freya, so he is not going to marry her.
Maybe something came up.
All I need to do is wait patiently for him to come.
A knock at my door disrupts my thoughts and without thinking, I hastily jump down from my bed and fly over to the door.
That must be Alpha Asher.
He gas finally come to check on me.
I swing open the door, but to my greatest dismay, I see a servant standing before me.
“Uh… hello” I greet nervously”
“Good morning Ma’am Astrid. Alpha Asher requests for your presence in his bedroom right away!”
“Did you just say in his bedroom?” I ask utterly shocked and she nods her head.
“Yes Ma’am”
“Ok, I’ll go there. Thank you for the information”
“You are welcome” she turns around and walks away and I gently close the door and lean on it as I place both hands my palpating chest!
Why does he want me to come into his bedroom?
Could it be that he already sent Freya away?
Is that why he wants me to come there?
“Oh my God!” I blush hard at the thought as I go into my closet to change my pyjamas. I put on a pair of oversized sweat pants and t-shirt.
Right now I’m so nervous and there a thousand question swimming on my mind.
I can’t wait to go to that bedroom and see why he called me.
When I’m done dressing up, I put on a pair of leather slippers and fly out of the bedroom.
I take the hallway leading to his bedroom and when I get there, I knock on it and wait for him to signal me to get in or for him to open it up himself.
As I hear the key creek from with, I smile and wait for it to open up, but that smile dissapears when the door opens up, revealing a very naked Freya who is smirking at me.
I look at her totally confused and dumbfounded, wondering what the hell is going on.
“Freya” I call. “What’s going?” I find myself asking and without saying a word, Freya stands by the side of the door so I can look into the room. My curiosity gets the better of me and I peep into the bedroom.
My heart drops into my stomach when I sight Alpha Asher sleeping on the bed, stark naked.
That’s when I understand what is going on.
Bastard!
He is nothing but a sick bastard.
I look at Freya, wondering if I just snap her neck right here and now, but I decide that it’s not worth it.
I turn around and walk away, but not to my bedroom.
I lifelessly make my way out of the castle and let Tiva take over me.
If I don’t go for a quick run, I’m going to lose my sanity.
FREYA’S POV
The moment Astrid leaves, I close the door and walk straight into the bathroom so I can take my bath.
Right now, I don’t know if I should shout, or sing or dance.
My heart cannot contain the amount of joy that’s in it right now.
I have accomplished the final mission. I finally got Alpha Asher to have sex with me and that means, the dagger has been destroyed.
There’s nothing for them to use against my father, meaning, I have the power to do anything I want, henceforth.
I’m so happy!
The look in Astrid’s eyes when she saw Alpha Asher lying naked on the bed was beyong satisfactory.
I could see that she was hurt by the sight, but I honestly care less.
She was wrong if she ever thought she could take Alpha Asher away from me.
Asher is mine alone and I’m never going to share him with anyone.
When I’m done taking my bath, I walk into the bedroom with my towel tied around my body.
I go to the bed where Alpha Asher is lying on and place a gentle kiss on his forehead. That causes him to open his eyes.
When he sees my face, he quickly jerks up from the bed like he just woke up from a nightmare, causing me to tremble and stagger backwards.
“What’s wrong, babe?” I ask frightened.
“Freya! What are you doing here?”
“What do you mean by that? This is my bedroom as well” He looks around the bedroom like a lost soul and then at his body.
His eyeballs widen he notices his naked state and the next thing that follows is a loud scream.
“Why am I naked?” He asks in total shock and I take stylish pose before him, casting him a frown that he doesn’t seem to care about.
“Seriously? You don’t remember that we had sex last night?” I announce and he goes silent for awhile.
He looks at me and to his dick and then back to me and I laugh.
“Don’t bother, you were so good. You made me forget my name, you know” I joke and he lets out another loud scream as he jumps down from the bed.
“No! This cannot be happening. No!”
Frustration.
Pure frustration is what I see written all over him right now and I’m tempted to laugh.
Poor guy.
“Oh my God… Freya!” He calls with blood red eyes as he steps infront of me.
I don’t flinch and I’m not squimish.
“What did you just make me do?”
“I made you do what you were supposed to have done a long time ago!”
“Ah!!!” He screams as he clenches his fists by his side .
I can see that he tryibg do hard to control himself from hitting me.
If I were a guy, I’d be dead and buried by now.
“When you are done lameting, let me know. I have a lot to tell you about the entire incident” I say as I turn around to leave, but I feel him pull me back by my right hand and when look up, I see his hand in the air, about to smack me.
“I dare you!” I dare with my eyes turning yellow. The hand stays in the air and I look at him straight in his blood red eyes.
“Lay a finger on me and watch your subjects suffer. Just one message through mindlink and my father is burning this entire Pack to the ground!” Then I seize my hand from his grasp and walk away.
Right now I’m in charge and things will go my way.
Only my way!
ADOLPH’S POV
Everyday, when I wake up in the morning, the first thing I check on, is that dagger.
That is my life and do not have to play with it.
I thought when I would have it in my possession, I would finally be at peace, but surprisingly, I’m not.
I’m restless.
The dagger being in my possession is not enough gaurantee that someone will not try to steal from me. It mustn’t be Alpha Asher, I just believe that the people who are close to me will try to steal it once they find out.
They all hate me.
The subjects I rule, the elders of this pack, the beta and the gamma all hate me and I know they have never wished me well. If they find out that I have something that can have me killed in my possession in this catle, then that will be the end for me.
They will steal it and have me eliminated so they can bring back their Alpha, Astrid.
That will only happen over my dead body.
I want to destroy this dagger, but I don’t know how to do so. I don’t know if I should sink in to the buttom of the ocean or if I should burn it.
Destroying it doesn’t also sound good to me because it is connected to me, what if me destroying the dagger also means destroying myself?
It’s so frustrating and confusing.
I would have gone to the witch for help, she was the one who began all this, but it appears right now, she has taken Alpha Asher’s side, so I can’t go to her.
I’m going to figure it out. I know I will.
I have won this battle and this victory is going to be mine for ever.
I gently sit upright from my bed and lift up my pillow to check for the dagger and my heart misses a beat when I see ashes on the bed. I blink my hard to look again, hoping I didn’t see it clearly, but I can still see the ashes lying on the bed, with the dagger gone.
My heart starts palpating and I jump down from the bed in fear.
What just happened?
Why did the dagger mysteriously turn to ash?
What the hell is going on here?
And the questions keep blowing my mind.
“Father!” I hear Tyr call as he walks into my bedroom looking enthusiastic like never before. The smile on his face makes me understand that something pleasant has happened to him, but I could very much care less about whatever that is.
THE DAGGER IS MISSING!
“TYR!” I call in panick as I walk up to him. When I’m close, I grab him by the shoulders and shake him hard with my eyes blood red.
“Tyr! The dagger has dissapeared, it suddenly turned into ash!” I cry and he smiles.
“Father, calm down. I know exactly why it turned into ash.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Freya called a while ago. She said to tell you that she was able to get intimate with Alpha Asher last night. That must be why the dagger mysteriously turned into ash. Remember the witch had said the dagger will be destroyed if Alpha Asger sleeps with a Shewolf who is not his mate. That happened last night, so it’s only normal that it has suddenly turned into ash” He explains and a wide smile spreads accross my face, gracefully replacing the sorrowful look I had on.
That’s true.
I quite remember.
My darling daughter has made me proud again.
I look back at the ash and smile even wider before turning back to Tyr.
“Summond Alpha Asher, immediately. It was about time a date for that wedding was set!”
“Yes father” Tyr says with a slight bow and walks out of my bedroom. I take out a stick of cigarette from the pack and the lighter from the nightstand and go over to the balcony where I can smoke in peace.
My mission has been accomplished.
Sweet Moon goddess, this was a lot easier than I thought it will be.
