THE ALPHA’S ADDICTION

“What is the matter, Leonarya?” Yodah asked, shocking Leonarya. It had been long someone called her by her name, without attaching the queen title.

She would have ensued a strong order to her cabinet to wreck him with their magic, at least to paralyze him-surely they could, but for the fact that he would be an assest, and because of her daughter.

“You guys can’t stay late. You have just two hours to go out with her and come back. The night is not safe.” She replied calmly, hoping that he wouldn’t refute her. She didn’t have an alliance with patience.

But he didn’t refute her.

Rather her daughter did.

“Why?” Freya asked.

” Why is it not safe? What is happening at night, mother?” She questioned, remembering the trainings she had seen some witches and wizards undergoing in the large field near thr house.

“Nothing that should be of a concern to you.” Leonarya replied, hinting at Yodah with her eyes to take her daughter away, but the latter refused to acknowledge her request. He was loyal to her daughter, not her.

“I want to know. Is there a war coming?” She asked, panicking a bit as she remembered Yodah’s brothers. They couldn’t have found out already, or have they?

She looked at Yodah, but the latter shook his head at her.

It wasn’t his brothers.

So, which war was ongoing?

“I’m not telling you anything. And don’t you dare read my mind!!” Leonarya shouted, causing the wall of the house to rumble. She had felt her daughter trying to broach through her mind barriers.

How dare she?

“Look at her.” Freya heard Aiden say to her through their mind path. He was calmer now.

She obeyed him, and met the gaze of her mother unflinchingly, trusting him and his powers.

She already knew what he wanted to do. He was going to read her mother’s mind.

She almost changed her mind as she watched her mother try to resist his power. Her eyes widened as saucers as she stared between her and Yodah, as if not believing that she would betray her this way.

Sorry, Mother. She thought.

She hated been kept away from secret serious things.

“Aiden, what did you see?” She asked, when she sensed the hesitation in his mind.

He didn’t want to tell her too.

“If you don’t tell me… you are never going to see me again.” She threatened, knowing that he wouldn’t bare to let that happen. She doubted she could make it happen either. How could she? He would come to her dreams to haunt her again.

“They are going to cause commotion at a wolves pack. She is in league with another Alpha. She wants to help him get the pack, in return for his help to get her mother’s kingdom.” Aiden muttered. Of course, he had no choice.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

He would rather expose the witch’s secret, than lose Freya, even though the secret had the ability to expose him too. After all, his Prince was also in league with the Alpha who wanted the other wolves territory.

“You know about this….” Freya stated flatly.

She sighed as he greeted her with silence.

“Aiden, what is going on? Do you know my grandmother? What about my father? Why would my mother want to war against her own mother? Talk to me! Don’t you dare go silent on me now!” She screamed through the mind path, snuggling more into Yodah’s arms. The latter tightened his grip on her even as he casted a hateful glance on Kyran who was now sitting up on the floor staring at them.

“I will tell you all I know when we see.” Aiden promised, seeing no other choice available.

He didn’t believe he would ever be under the control of a woman. His lifemate.

“Okay then. I am coming with Yodah.” She stated, before tapping Yodah on the arm.

“Time to go.” She said, ignoring her mother who watched her, anger flaring in her eyes.

“How dare you read my mind?” She heard her ask Yodah.

She bit back a laugh, as she watched Yodah shrug his shoulders.

“I’m sorry Milady. I had no choice. Your daughter’s wish is my command.” He said, and Freya bowed her head, not wanting her mother to see that she found the situation amusing. She also felt Aiden laughing through the mind path. He was proud of Yodah’s lying capability.

She had a feeling that the both would taunt her to death. She needed a female ally, anytime soon. But who?

The only female that had broached the barrier was her new roommate, Amelia. The rich spoilt girl had always raved on how she looked so much like her little sister, that they could pass out as twins.

She had been a bit curious on meeting the younger sister until she had heard the girl’s voice over the phone.

Rude. Haughty. Proud. Saucy. Disrespectful.

She had been so sure that the little sister was worse off.

It had broken her curiosity then, made it die down.

She hadn’t been keen any longer on meeting her.

She had no time for that sort of person. They irked her so badly.

“I see.” She heard her mother say, and sighed.

Here it goes. She thought, the emotional blackmail.

“I see that you have grown wings eh. Is that how you repay your mother after all she had done for you huh? Do you know what I went through for your sake? Do you know how much I fought for you?….” She was saying, and Freya found herself shaking her head in denial

“Mother, it isn’t like….” She was saying, but Leonarya interrupted her sharply.

“… so, what you chose to pay me back with after all these years of my sacrifice, is to have a vampire read my thoughts?” Leonarya inquired, dropping her hand on her chest, faking a tear, shaking her head as if in sorrow.

“No, mother. I’m sorry.”

“I’m not a vampire, woman!”

Freya and Yodah said respectively, at the same time.
