Chapter 31
Avery
Woods surrounded the area Fredo’s mansion was built in.
I feel like he built his house in this place because of his abnormal buying of
Women.
I knew this place would be closer to human civilization or nearer to another pack than my former pack so I just picked a random direction and began to run.
My escape felt like I was running away from the Silver Crescent Pack all over again.
Sounds came into existence behind me and I glanced backwards.
Fredo’s mansion seemed to come to life at this moment.
Lights and voices intertwine into something frightening.
I picked up my pace but I was still slower than the voices that were approaching
1. me.
The sound caused by wolf paws hitting the ground resounded through the forest. I wasn’t able to run fast because I was still bounded by my armband.
With my armband in place, I couldn’t even shift into my wolf so I had to travel on my feet.
The contrast between the distance I covered while travelling with my feet compared to the miles I would have travelled if I was in my wolf form was drastic.
Running on my human feet felt like I wasn’t moving anywhere.
I finally slowed to a stop.
I wasn’t going to keep doing something that was going to turn out futile.
Judging by the voices echoing behind me, the magnitude of the group that was chasing me was huge.
In my weakened state, I won’t be able to get away. It is a sure fact.
My worst future possibility had come true.
Fredo had not left the mansion at all.
He was waiting for me to begin my escape so he can make a move.
He threatened me but I felt like he knew I wouldn’t
It was why he made a failsafe plan to keep me here.
listen.
I did not know that the obsession Fredo had for me was this huge.
It made everything harder and tougher.
My situation had gone awry.
Π
I leaned on a tree and waited for my pursuers to catch up.
I looked at the sky.
At least I attempted to escape, I would not feel guilty if I asked the moon goddess. for help.
I knew the plans Fredo had in store for me won’t be pleasant but regardless of his preparations for me, I had to try to leave.
I can never entertain the fact that I would serve Fredo along with other women.
I hated suicide but if I didn’t have the moon goddess as a backup plan, I would have considered suicide as a option.
I knew I was very stubborn about my views but I am trying to change the redundant opinions I have of life.
However, I will never change my opinion on this situation.
I will never let Fredo sleep with me. It is as simple as that.
I smiled wryly.
I did not want to go back to where I left but Fredo won’t ask of my opinion. Even if he asks, his decision is still Paramount. My views won’t matter.
He would bring me back by hook or by crook.
Thoughts on my life began to come into my mind as I waited for the group chasing me to get here.
The original trajectory of my life would have ended in my death.
I had encountered a few brushes with death.
If the moon goddess had not intervened, Nara and the people of the Bosun Tribe would have succeeded in using me as a medium to obtain the
powers werewolves have.
supernatural
Following that line of thought, even if the moon goddess took revenge for me, I would have been long dead.
My soul would have gone ahead to the netherworld.
The moon goddess saved me in time.
It was why I was not angry at her participation in my rejection.
I did not have the perspective of a god so I can’t figure out her thoughts.
I can not blame her for her actions at all.
At least she saved me and now, she is watching out for me.
Finally, the wolves pursuing me caught up.
Fredo was the one leading the chase.
“Why aren’t you still on the run?” Fredo growled.
His angry tone was as obvious as day.
I looked at him like he was an idiot.
“You are already on my tail like a dog so why will I keep up a futile action?” I stared at him.
The anger on his face multiplied at my insult.
“How dare you speak to my brother like that?” A shrill voice came from the group.
I turned towards the sound.
The words were from Miss Freya.
Her angry face was mirroring her brother’s.
“You lied to me. You deceived me by telling me stories you fabricated so you can poison everyone in the mansion. I regret feeling pity for you.” She accused and I gave her a deadpan look.
Her pity was worthless.
Why is she making her pity to be something rare and important?
“My story wasn’t a lie but I still deceived you.” I said with a smile.
My current attitude to Miss Freya was neither humble or arrogant,
It wasn’t like the past.
I wasn’t fawning on her. I was showing her my original attitude.
My attitude infuriated her and she cracked her whip at me.
I dodged to the side but the whip seemed to follow me like a live snake.
My abilities was already weakened so trying to avoid the whip was harder than threading an elephant tusk through a thin steel needle.
I couldn’t dodge the whip completely.
When I was resigned to my fate of getting whipped by Miss Freya.
Fredo’s hand shot out like a triggered bullet and he held the whip in his palm.
The twisting whip was like an obedient puppy before him.
Even if the whip was stopped, Fredo’s hands still acquired a few bruises.
Miss Freya looked devastated at Fredo’s action.
His actions delivered more damage than my words did.
I had something to say to Miss Freya but I was hesitant to go ahead with it. Now, I knew Fredo’s obsession with me is greater than his love for his sister.
It gave me the confidence that Fredo would offer his protection to me.
Although his protection would be like I was going from a tiger’s den to a wolf’s den, it didn’t matter.
I was going to use his influence until I can’t make use of it anymore.
If I was not feeling good, my enemies would have to join me in my misery.
“Miss Freya, why are you getting so restless? Do you think I want to snatch your brother from you?” I questioned, “Don’t worry I don’t have the same kind of fetish you have. I won’t do such a thankless task.”
Miss Freya’s expression changed into one that was a mix of panic, anger and some kind of twisted anticipation.
I don’t know if I should attribute my pettiness to my pregnancy.
I have found out that I have gotten the habit of settling any dispute I have with anybody.
If someone that is not close to me offends me, I would pay them back either in their own coin or my own improvisation.
Settling my grudges quickly had made my mind more free.
I sighed regretfully, “I have always known that I am not a good person but there are some things I would not do or attempt. I will not try to harbor impure intentions towards my biological brother.”
After my words, the forest became as silent as a burial mound.
Fredo’s expression was unsightly and Miss Freya was as pale as a sheet of white
paper.
I am sure she knew that everybody in the mansion was aware of her affections for her brother but everyone pretended they didn’t have any idea.
No one wanted to poke through the paper wall hiding secrets that was known to everybody.
The situation was like an ostrich hiding its head inside the sand while its exposed. body remains above the ground.
I was doing Miss Freya a favor by tearing away the paper wall she was hiding under.
I sneered.
Even if I was doing this out of spite, she should thank me.
By doing this, I would be able to help Miss Freya get out of her delusions. I was making her see the reality she didn’t want to accept.
Trying to torture the girls Fredo bought won’t help anything.
If I was another girl, I would have fought with her for Fredo’s attention.
She would be terror stricken then.
She should be glad I decided against being with Fredo.
My decision saved her a great deal of pain and heartache.
“What are you saying?” Fredo growled with his pressure mounting.
I took a small step back and other than that, I maintained my stance of defiance. “Is it not true? I didn’t say a single lie.” I retorted with a calm face, “If she wasn’t
keen on targeting me, I wouldn’t be saying this words. I would have kept it a secret for her.”
I knew I would leave here soon because I am sure Fredo would do something drastic when he brings me back to the mansion.
Immediately Fredo makes his move, I was going to call for the moon goddess’s Kelp.
I won’t be here for much longer and I was afraid that Miss Freya might try to prey on Diana and the others because they are related to me.
If Miss Freya’s mind is messed up and she gets embarrassed, she won’t have the time to think about Diana and her group.
It was one of the reason I choose this type of revenge as payback to Miss Freya’s actions.
I knew there is a possibility that my actions might still implicate Diana and the others.
Even if I did not say anything now, the things I have done is enough to
incriminate them.
I am very certain that my brief friendship with Diana and her group are known to Miss Freya and Fredo.
I would try to save them with everything that is within the range of my power. Besides, I knew the major reason I was destabilizing Miss Freya’s mind and causing chaos is just for the sole reason of trying to shake Fredo’s territory up. Apart from my selfish motives, I felt like I should do one last kind act that would be dedicated to the girls that had been bought by Fredo.
It would be a type of homage to the girls that suffered under the torture Miss Freya inflicts.
“Capture her.” Fredo instructed the bodyguards dressed in tight fitting black clothes before he morphed into his wolf.
His wolf was black with hints of grey rippling through his fur. Unlike his inward evilness, his wolf was beautiful.
He sped to the mansion without giving anybody time to breath.
I didn’t resist the bodyguards‘ capture and I let them drag me roughly to the mansion.
Miss Freya’s scorching eyes accompanied me as I was lugged away.
