Chapter 1 Unexpected Video

Freya's POV

Nathan, the attractive redhead gasped as the man raked his fingers through her long hair, his fingers gripped at her hips while he took her savagely from behind Fuck me harder, she begged I want you,

I recognised the grunts of Nathan as he pounded the woman, his face red with the effort You're so tight! he exclaimed I want you too, I could tell from his face he was about to explode inside her. It was an expression I had experienced a while ago, but never with this much passion.

It wasn't long before Nathan did exactly that, forcing himself deep inside her as his fingers dug into her flesh Fuck! He grunted as he released inside the redhead.

Today was meant to be what was traditionally perceived as the happiest moment of a woman's life, her wedding day. But now, at this very moment, hours before I was due to walk down the aisle, I was witnessing my husband to be, having sex with another woman.

Closing the video on my phone, I read the text on the email in which the footage was attached. 

- Before you get married, you should watch this video. -

I had to talk to Nathan and call this wedding off before it was too late. What I had witnessed was unforgivable, even if this marriage had been arranged, this was the last straw. I was tired of living in a loveless and controlling relationship, let alone the embarrassment of knowing Nathan was having an affair.

Leaving my bridal suite, I cautiously stepped down the hallway, heading for Nathan's suite.

'But what do I say?' I asked my wolf Elara for her wisdom 'How do I approach this conversation?' My heart pounded in my chest with nerves.

'Just be honest, Freya,' Elara replied calmly 'Say what's in your heart, the truth hurts sometimes, but Nathan isn't good enough for us,'

I took a deep breath and knocked on Nathan's door.

Yes? Nathan asked from behind the door, so I entered his room, closing the door behind me. I didn't want anyone else to know what I was about to say to him.

Freya, Nathan spoke with little enthusiasm, I stood before him wearing my beautiful wedding gown. It hugged my curvaceous figure perfectly while the fishtail style draped at my feet. But Nathan didn't react, my heart sank What do you want? Isn't it bad luck to see you before we get married?

Luck has nothing to do with it, I replied, a frown forming on my brow. 

Nathan appeared handsome in his tailored black suit, his dark hair neatly styled to one side, but I noticed in his hand he held a glass of brown liquid. I assumed whisky. 

Well? Nathan asked, taking a sip of his drink Hurry up, you're cutting into my drinking time,

I don't think we should be married, Nathan, I released my words as they formed in my head We just aren't right for each other,

Nathan laughed Freya, I don't think our parents really give a shit if we're the perfect match. They want us to be married, so let's just get it over with,

I can't, I said, my voice shaking I feel so alone with you, you barely show me any affection. When's the last time we had sex?

You know I've not been in the mood for sex with my workload, Freya, Nathan rolled his eyes, showing little sympathy for my needs.

Anger boiled inside me, I knew his lies We haven't had sex because you're off fucking other women! my voice rose with my fury You know I turn a blind eye to your cheating and sexual escapades with your sluts, but I'm not settling for it any longer. I deserve better,

Nathan laughed again, this time it echoed around the suite Freya, you are nothing without me, He approached me, taking the rest of his drink and as he swallowed, he threw the glass to the ground I give you everything you need, money, nice clothes, fancy places to eat, he paused, grabbing my arm Take this dress for example, if it weren't for me, you couldn't dream of affording this designer piece,

You're sick, I responded, trying to tug my arm from his grip but he was too strong Let me leave!

Like you would leave, Nathan grunted You're here because of my wealthy father, to live the life you think you deserve. There's a reason you were born to poverty, I wish our parents never arranged for this marriage, but here we are,

I wish I had never met you, I spat my words Let go of me! I won't let you control me any longer!

Nathan's grip grew stronger, and I felt his fingers begin to bruise me Freya, I could fuck a thousand women and you would still marry me, you need me. You'll never leave me because I make your life easy,

Is that what you think of me, Nathan? I asked, my jaw clenched through the pain of his tight grip That I am your puppet to manipulate? Tell me what to do and how to do it? I was tired of Nathan controlling me, ordering me to live my life as he wished, I felt like I was losing my own free thinking.

You've never been satisfied with me, Nathan, I said Making me dye my hair red, telling me to lose weight, and how to wear my makeup. Well, I'm sorry, but I'm not yours to own and dress up how you like,

Yes, Nathan smirked That's what you are to me, I can do with you what I like, you're here to satisfy me, he paused as he released his grip on me Now go back to your room and finish getting ready for the ceremony, I want this to be over with as soon as possible,

I had tried but failed. Closing my eyes I pictured the video once more. Who was this woman? I could tell Nathan was so satisfied by her, even by his reactions. She was his perfect beauty. Flaming red hair, a slim figure, even her make up I noticed was subtle and not like the wild style I preferred. 

Fine, I said, opening my eyes as Nathan's blue eyes pierced into me I'll see you at the altar, Nathan Luddington,

Chapter 2 Runaway Bride

Freya's POV

The hours had passed and it wasn't long before I was walking down the aisle. I imagined my wedding day to be different to this, for once I thought seeing my groom at the altar would bring me love and happiness. I felt nothing but sickness and hate toward Nathan.

My mind was a blur as the ceremony continued, the Officiant was talking, but I wasn't registering her words. It was then I recognised the particular words I was waiting for.

Do you, Freya Rose Wilson, take Nathan Jordan Luddington to be your husband?

'No. No, we do not!' Elara barked in my mind.

No, I said out loud as I locked eyes with Nathan. His face dropped from the shock, the gasps of the guests who came to watch us marry, echoed around the hall.

What are you doing? Nathan asked in disbelief Stop being a little brat and get it done with,

I will not marry you Nathan Jordan Luddington! I raised my voice so everyone could hear I do not take you as my husband! Grabbing the ring, in which Nathan was about to place on my finger, I hurled it across the room.

You stupid ungrateful brat, Nathan's voice boomed over the chatter of the guests You're nothing without me, no one else will want a pathetic cow like you,

I would rather die alone than be married to you! I spat my words, and it was then without even thinking, my palm met Nathan's cheek. Slapping him across the face, my hand stung from the effort.

I turned to leave the altar, running through the centre of the guests as I kept my eyes firmly ahead. Tears began to fill me as I managed to avoid the eyes of the disappointed guests around me.

I, Freya Wilson, hereby formally reject the Pack Bond of Frostwind Pack, and I am no longer a member of Frostwind Pack.

I left the Frostwind Packhouse, with nothing but the wedding dress on my back, my purse and my phone. Nathan owned everything I possessed, but he could burn it for all I cared.

'You did the right thing,' Elara spoke to me as I ran 'We deserve better, now run as fast as you can little one,'

Elara's voice was soothing inside my mind, relieving the upset and embarrassment 'Elara, I did it,' I gasped for breath as I ran 'We got away from Nathan, we're free from his toxic grasp,'

'We're not out of the woods yet,' Elara said 'Keep going,'

I carried on running as quickly as I could in this heavy gown, and my thoughts ran wild inside my mind. I was now a rogue wolf, I had no home and no money to my name. But I felt empowered by the decision I had made, and the guts it took to make it happen.

Eventually, I stopped, satisfied I had travelled as far as I had needed to get away from the Frostwind Pack House, away from all of the judging eyes.

I took a seat on a nearby bench, getting close to the town centre. I pulled my phone from my purse and checked it. I had received a message from my friend Sienna.

'Hey, you! Sorry I'm running late, I'll be there in an hour! Can't wait to see you marry Mr. Dreamy.'

I couldn't help but smirk, but also hated how Sienna called Nathan Mr. Dreamy. She always had, from the moment she met him. Sienna had no idea what my relationship with the Alpha was like, he hid his toxic ways well to those around us. 

I pressed the option to call Sienna, and waited eagerly for her to answer.

Hey, Freya! Sienna replied with excitement, I could tell by the humming background noise she was driving I'll be there in fifteen minutes, so sorry I'm late! Are you married now?

Her excitement was infectious, despite there being nothing to be excited about now. But I had to break the news.

No I'm not, I replied, taking a deep breath Sienna, I left Nathan at the altar, I walked out on him, and I will no longer be part of the Pack,

No!! Sienna replied with a gasp Are you okay? Do you need me to come get you? Do you have somewhere to go?

So many questions confused my mind Please come get me, I have nowhere to go. I feel so lost,

Right, Sienna replied Ping me your location after this call and I'll pick you up!

I hung up the call and sent Sienna my location as she requested. Leaning back onto the bench, I scrolled my phone as I waited for my ride. Mindlessly scrolling social media, I saw posts made earlier in the day of friends and Nathan's family excited about the wedding. 

'Am I a bad person, Elara?' I asked my wolf, watching as she appeared in my mind. Her golden fur was silky as she shook her head slightly.

'No Freya, you're a kind hearted, sweet person who deserves the world' Elara paused 'We are free now, just watch and see where life takes us now. A new chapter, new beginnings,'

'You're absolutely right,' I smiled as I responded to the kind words of Elara 'It's exciting to think what's out there waiting for us,'

My thoughts and conversation with Elara were broken by the sound of a car screeching to a halt on the road in front of me. Sienna was gesturing for me to get in, just as rain began to spot my face.

I ran to the car, opening the passenger seat I got inside and closed the door, as I made an attempt to tuck my dress inside with me without it getting caught.

So? Sienna asked instantly, wide eyed as she gazed at me Tell me what happened, or should we grab a drink first?

A drink would be great, I laughed. Coffee right now is just the normality I needed, even if I was wearing a wedding dress You won't believe it when I tell you what I did, I paused, looking at Sienna. Her black hair was styled up in a bun, while she wore a classy red dress You look really pretty,

Sienna smiled, her eyes taking a quick glance to me as she took her focus from the road briefly As do you, beautiful bride, she laughed So I was thinking, I'm going to message my Dad and tell him I'm bringing you home, she paused to focus He will be cool with it I know it, he's a really awesome guy,

I nodded I really appreciate that. But I've also realised we've been friends for so long yet I've never met your family,

Right? Sienna asked with a giggle There's my Dad, and my brother who is totally lame, she paused But they're both alright, I think you'll love my Dad, he's just a big dork,

But I'm hesitant, I said to Sienna, I don't know if I should go back with you.

Chapter 3 Alpha Rufus

Rufus' POV

Hey Dad, can I ask an honest question?

I backed up and peered into my daughter, Sienna's bedroom. Standing by the doorway, wearing the most stunning red dress. I felt a lump build in my throat as I admired my beautiful little girl, she looked so much like her Mother when dressed up like this.

Does this dress look dumb on me? I feel like it's not really me, she complained, knowing full well how beautiful she looked in anything.

What's the occasion? I asked as I flashed Sienna a smile.

A friend's wedding, Sienna replied as she turned to look in the full length mirror by her side, admiring herself from every angle I feel like this dress makes my figure look square?

Square? I replied with a hearty laugh Honey, you look great,

Sienna turned to me and returned my smile Thanks, Dad, she took herself to the vanity table and sat down to rummage through her makeup Come in and sit down, tell me about your day,

Taking Sienna's offer I went into her room, making my way over to her bed to take a perch, I caught myself in her mirror. I was looking tired, my silver hair was unkempt and my beard needed a trim. I swear there were more bags under my eyes than yesterday.

You're still handsome, Sienna laughed as she began to apply cosmetics to her face.

Heh, thanks kid, I sat down on the bed and watched Sienna spruce herself up, not that she needed it Not a lot to tell really, just haven't been sleeping well, I grunted I could use a good night's rest,

Something on your mind? Sienna asked, stopping her application as she met my eyes in the reflection of her mirror.

Nothing for you to worry about, honey, I smiled I'll be fine, you know me,

Sienna flashed me a sincere smile, and I knew that look. I knew she missed her Mom, as much as I did. But each day was getting easier for us all, we just had to stick together.

Okay, and I'm done! Sienna said standing up from her chair, she turned to me. I watched as she pinned her black hair up into a bun Good enough for a wedding?

You look stunning, my Porkchop, I replied truthfully.

Dad! Sienna laughed You haven't called me Porkchop since I was ten years old, don't go bringing that back now!

Alright, I won't embarrass you too much, Standing to my feet, I made my way toward Sienna and wrapped my arms around her I love you, honey, be safe tonight and let me know when you get there,

Sure thing Dad, Sienna said, wrapping her arms around me, before pulling herself away Right, I have to go! I'm already late as it is,

The house was always deathly quiet when Sienna and her brother Milo were out. I enjoyed the bustle of my kids when they were here, music playing from their rooms or hearing them on the phone with friends. Now the silence was deafening, but I had to make sure I could wind down tonight. so I got the sleep I desperately needed.

It wasn't long before the silence was disturbed by the sound of the doorbell ringing. Taking myself to answer it, a smile crept on my lips as I was greeted by the beauty of an acquaintance, Lily. 

Hey Rufus, Lily
