CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX
FREYA’S POV
My father told me the meeting with Alpha Asher didn’t go well. He said the guy lashed on him when he tried to tell him what to do with Astrid and right now, I’m fuming in anger.
I don’t want her in that chambers.
I thought this pregnancy was going to make him understand, but he doesn’t seem to care.
I can’t live with Astrid in the same chambers because she is going to do nothing but steal my spotlight all the damn time!
I am sick and tired of her and I just want her gone!
I have tried time and again to make her my personal maid to no avail, right now I don’t even know what to do to make her get out of my life.
As I alight from the car in the castle premises, all the guards and servants passing by stop on their tracks and bow their heads down as I walk past them. I can’t help but smile at that gesture.
Being Luna is such a big deal around here.
The way these people fear me and the respect they show me is amazing. I never want it to stop, that’s why I can never let Astrid take my place in the castle, in this pack or in Asher’s life.
I will fight to keep this Luna title till my last breath!
As I walk into the living room, I’m surprised to see Alpha Asher and what he does even surprises me the more.
He walks over to me and plants a warm kiss on my left cheek and I can feel his left hand touching my stomach.
The butterflies…
I blush a beetroot when stoops down on his feet and looks at my stomach.
“Hey there” He greets and a gentle chuckle escapes my lips.
I swear I didn’t think he would ever do this!
“I hope you aren’t giving mummy a hard time. Be good okay, daddy loves you” He kisses my tummy and rises on his feet once more.
“You are welcome back”
“Thank you”
“Your maids are ready to serve anytime you want. You know what yo do when you need any of them. I have to be on my way to the office right now.”
“Is Astrid still here?” I ask and he gives me a cold look.
“Yeah, why?”
“I don’t want her here”
” Sorry, but that’s not your decision to make”
“Why did you even bring her back in the first place?”
“Because she is carrying my child and I need her to be close to me so I can take good care of her as well!”
“What? Astrid’s pregnant for you?”
“Yes, she is. But we are not ready for that discussion this morning. Hava a nice day” He says and majestically walks out of the living room, leaving me utterly and completely dumbfounded.
How can Astrid be pregnant for him.
Why did things always get worse?
I hate this kind of life.
“Aaarghhh!!!” I scream in anger as a fat tear roles down my right cheek.
This is not how I planned this thing to go.
I hate Astrid!
I swear I hate Astrid and I won’t rest until that baby she is carrying dies!
She can’t spoil my show for me.
No!
I won’t let her do that!
ASTRID’S POV
“I swear, you two don’t deserve to be going through all this. I mean, it’s too much!” Arya cries and I just look at her with my eyes swollen.
I have been crying since yesterday.
I had to meet her so I could have someone to talk with and feel relieved, but she has only made the whole issue worse by telling me that Freya is pregnant as well.
I don’t even know how to react to that news.
“I don’t even know what to think or say right now. I feel very guilty for misjudging him. , I don’t even know who is the victim here. Everything is just messed up”
“Astrid, right now, knowing who the victim is in this situation will not take anyone anywhere. This is a matter that needs immediate solutions, else it will aggravate into something else”
“I really don’t think it is going to aggravate into anything. I mean, your brother has a wife. I’m just a side girl who got pregnant. His main focus should be his wife”
“If you think Freya is going to be my brother’s main priority, then you have no idea who he is, then you have no idea how much he loves you. Asher will not let you have this child without you being married to him. I don’t know how he is going to do it, but I know he will. Alpha Adolph will only have to do his worst, because when the time comes, my brother will actt like a mad man and no one will be able to stop him”
“But I don’t want to cause any trouble”
“You will not be the one causing trouble, honey. Just you watch and see how things will unfold, I can assure you that you will amazed.”
“I’m scared, I’m so scared. Living in this chamber with Freya scares the shit out of my pants.”
“Why’s that? You have lived here with her before, haven’t you?”
“I know I have, but I wasn’t pregnant at that time. These days, I feel like she’s going to try to do something to me. ”
“Like, make you lose the baby?”
“I know that’s kind of extreme, but yeah. I’m scared she might try to do that”
“Well… if you’d ask me, I’d say there’s nothing extreme Freya can’t do. She can try to make you lose that baby and I know it! I’m going to talk to Asher and he will know how to handle this situation”
“Can you not, not tell him?” I ask worried and she shakes her head”
“Sorry love, I cannot not tell him. Remember it’s his baby too and he will die if anything were to happen to either if you, literally!” She emphasizes and I cover my face with my palms as I let out a heavy sigh.
This is not how things had to be.
“I’m still scared”
“Don’t be, I’m here for you, Rowan is here for as well. The big bad Alpha is here for you. We’ve got you covered”
“Thank you very much”
“Anytime. Enough about your fears, tell me what it feels like to be pregnant” She asks in excitement as she turns to face me and I look at her totally amazed.
Sometimes it’s hard to believe that I am I’m older than she is. One could think it was the other other way round.
She is so mature for her age and I think it’s brilliant.
“Well, it’s feels tiring. Most of the times all I want to do is sleep and eat. I don’t even want to mention the mood swings” I start to explain.
I know Arya won’t let me be till I tell her every detail, so I have a long day ahead of me.
