*VELVET*"If you're my mother's best friend don't you think that she would want to see you?" Rogue asked curiously.I nodded quietly.She was definitely a smart kid. I'll give her an applause for that.I sighed deeply."Of course I want her to know that I've been searching for her all these years but I want to surprise her so please don't tell her that we met."Rogue looked conflicted and it made me realize that I should have killed that mutt when I had the chance during the attack.I guess biting her leg didn't do enough damage like I expected.I removed my hand in one of the metal bars and held it out my pinky finger so that she could promise me.She sighed softly and smiled at me.She's so gullible just like her mother."Alright aunty Velvet I won't tell mom or dad about you but can I come visit you again?" She asked curiously.I forced a smile.I couldn't stand breathing the same air as this child.I had pretended to actually care about her when in reality she was getting on my ne
*FREYA*Lain stood there not moving a muscle and I stared at him in disbelief. It was typical of him to break his promises but I didn't expect him to do that to Rogue.I scoffed in annoyance and ran after Rogue."Honey please come back." My heart was pounding frantically in my chest because I couldn't see her anywhere.This couldn't be happening again.Tears filled my eyes as I ran outside calling after Rogue.I bumped into Aniko who looked freighted at the mere sight of me."Freya are you okay?"I shook my head negatively as tears blurred my vision.This is why I didn't want to do the DNA test in the first place.I didn't want anyone to hurt my daughter."Have you seen Rogue? She just ran out of her room a few minutes ago but I can't find her. What if something bad happened to her?"Aniko grasped both of my hands."I want you to take a deep breath Freya because we are going to find Rogue ok?" I nodded eagerly and Aniko ushered me outside.I angrily wiped my tears away.He should ha
*FREYA*After her crying subsided Rogue fell asleep and I covered her with the blanket.I turned to look at the woman who claims to be my mother.I followed her into the kitchen and I knew that it was definitely going to be an awkward conversation but I owe her my life because she saved my daughter's life.She turned on the stove and turned to look at me as I sat down."Would you like a cup of tea?" I nodded quietly and she smiled at me.While the water was heating up she sat opposite me.I was the first one to break the ice."Thank you for looking after Rogue. I know that she can be a handful but she means no harm."She nodded quietly and I could see that she was refraining from holding my hand.It was better that way."It's alright you don't need to thank me after all she's my granddaughter."I scoffed in annoyance."You didn't even know about her existence a few days ago and I'm sure that you only came across her by mere coincidence."She stood up once the kettle began to steam an
*LAIN*"Umm Mira can you please take Rogue back to her room?" The woman nodded quietly and took Rogue with her and once they were gone Freya glared at me."So you thought by coming here you'd just win my daughter over? When all you've done is hurt her.'I sighed deeply."What are you some fucking god? You can't just hurt people and a few hours later you waltz into their lives like nothing happened."Our eyes locked intensely.I could see the pain in her eyes and deep down I knew that Rogue must feel worse."I'm sorry Freya."She stared at me in disbelief and scoffed in annoyance."So that's it? You think an apology is magically going to fix everything?!" She demanded angrily."Rogue is not your daughter and you fucking got your answer so do me a favor and stay away from her."Tears rolled down her cheeks."Get out of here and don't you ever come back here oh I swear over the moon goddess that I'll kill you myself."I swallowed hard and when I tried to grasp her hand she moved away fr
*MISTRESS*A FEW HOURS EARLIER I grinned at Galen kissing the old geyser on the lips when he allowed me to have a little fun tonight.He was in the dumps because his son's condition was getting worse and he needed Freya's blood just like me."Don't hurt Lain navier edevane but I want you to give him a good scare." I pouted my lips."What's the fun in just scaring him? I want to spill blood tonight and I feel hungry."He stared into my eyes deeply."Just let me do things my way and I promise you that we'll soon have Freya Allan in our hands. Last time I saw her the poor thing was knocked up."His eyes widened in shock."Why didn't you tell me earlier?" He asked angrily.I frowned at him.Now wasn't the time to be lectured."I've been busy running this damn organization while you play doctor with your son."He pulled my hair tightly making me gasp in shock but the pain was nothing compared to the hatred I felt for this man."Choose your words wisely bitch" he muttered quietly, sending
*FREYA*Rogue was all dressed up and ready to go since we were meeting my mother at her house for lunch. Being in the same space with her still felt very strange to me.It's going to take a while to get used to her presence in my life.An hour later we arrived at the cabin and when she saw Hestia she rushed to go and hug her.“Grandma!” Rogue yelled excitedly.Hestia looked equally happy to see my daughter as well."Hey Rogue I missed you so much" she muttered softly kissing Rogue on top of her head.Our eyes locked and I gave her a small smile.She gave me a nod in return and ushered Rogue to a pickup truck.I cocked a brow at her in surprise."Sorry but I thought we were having lunch here." She shook her head negatively."Uh surprise..." She mumbled coolly and Rogue grinned excitedly.Once Rogue was safely settled in the back seat I sat in the passenger seat.Hestia started the truck and the engine roared to life.I looked outside the window."So this was your plan all along huh?"
*FREYA*It was hard for me to go back to sleep since that dream and yet again it felt too real.I turned to look at Rogue who was peacefully sleeping and got up and went to close the window.I remember closing it before I went to bed. After closing it I went back to bed and I tried to get some sleep but I couldn't stop thinking about what that man told me.Was he really my father?Yet again Hestia told me that he might be dead and the chances of him surviving were very slim.I laid on the pillow and closed my eyes.Did I want to meet him again? My curiosity wouldn't let me settle down and deep down my mother was holding back and I didn't know half of the story and somehow I was still caught up in the middle of it all.After thirty minutes of turning and tossing on the bed I finally dozed and fell asleep dreaming about the mysterious man who came to visit me in my dreams and this time he offered me his hand."Take it princess" he muttered huskily and I found myself grasping his hand l
*LAIN*I woke up to the sound of laughter and groaned in annoyance.It was my little sister Nyra, probably joking about something with my dad.I grabbed my nearest pillow and covered my ears to block out the sound.“Lain you have to wake up, its Christmas morning.”My mom was knocking on the door and Sooner or later, I knew that if I didn't get my lazy ass out of bed, she was going to grab me by the ear and force me downstairs.I groaned deeply.“I'm coming, mom, I just need a minute.”I heard her footsteps slowly fading away and tossed the covers to the ground.Ever since I turned sixteen, I turned into the black sheep of the family and I would rather not do anything fun.It's like while growing up I was killing the kid inside me, but it wasn't exactly easy to act like a kid, especially when your father is the alpha of the pack, and you're next in line.I stripped out of my clothes and stepped into the shower as the cold water drenched me.I was one of those kids who weren't too happ
