The scent of cinnamon and honey that welcomed me the moment I stepped into my home, made a slight smile tug at my lips and a pang begin in my chest.
The scent was so warm and homely that it both comforted and threw me into a sea of sadness.
I missed having a companion. Someone warm and homely that could take away the loneliness that clouded around and threatened to overwhelm me.
Sighing heavily, I headed straight to the dining area. I was hungry, since I had eaten nothing else after walking away from my breakfast.
Exhaustion settled in my muscles the moment I let my weight drop into the chair. I needed food and some good sleep.
I had a long day ahead of me tomorrow. Starting with visiting the members that had been somewhat affected with the attack last night.
yet to enter into the dining room but
Freya’s scent filtered into my nose before I saw her and I furrowed my brows. She was yet her scent was already so strong.
Could there be a problem with my senses when it came to her?
She had entered the dining area but I watched as she paused for a second with multiple emotions flashing through her face in that little time, she seemed to reach a conclusion within herself because she moved towards the table and began offloading the dishes onto the table.
With this close proximity her scent overwhelmed my mind and my wolf growled within me, beginning a pacing that made me restless,
1 paused to sniff at the air and that was when it struck me.
She was bleeding somewhere. Someone or something had hurt her and for some reason that unsettled me.
“You’re hurt.”
It wasn’t a question but I watched as she bit her lips before nodding her head in the positive.
I searched through her frame and when they locked with her fingers that had been wrapped in what looked to have been a white handkerchief but was now stained red, I pursed my lips in anger.
I didn’t need to open it, to see that it was a really nasty injury and from the look of things, she had not treated it well and would most likely be unable to properly take care of it
Getting up from the table and moving out of the dining room, instructed her to follow me and moved in the direction of my room, satisfied with the sound of her footsteps coming from behind me.
The moment we were in my bedroom, I led her towards the bathroom.
“Sit there.” I instructed once more, pointing in the direction of the counter.
While I rummaged in the cupboards for the first aid kit I usually kept around. The moment I found it, I pulled out what I needed.
Freya’s small hands felt cold to the touch when I picked them up and that sent a shudder through my spine. Unwrapping the badly done handkerchief around her fingers, I winced at the sight

It looked as nasty as I assumed

Picking up the disinfectant, I poured some into a ball of cotton wool and began working on her wounds, I dabbed gently at her fingers but I could still hear her try to hold in her hiss of pain, which she was barely successful at.
“What happened?” I asked, after working in silence for a while,
There was no response from my green eyed maid and I raised my eyes to address her. She currently had her head bowed with her lips between her teeth an act that knew she did when she was nervous.
I was about to ask the question again, this time with a scolding the fact that I had been ignored the first time but Freyal raised her eyes to mine.
All the air whooshed out of my lungs.
Her eyes had unshed tears brimming within them and her mesmerizing green eyes called out to me.
My chest constricted at the sight and I swallowed heavily, averting my eyes quickly before I did something I would spend days regretting.
“I asked you a question Freya.” I said.sternly, thanking the universe when my voice didn’t crack.
“Drawers.” She simply said and I furrowed my brows in confusion
“From the punishment room. My fingers got caught in the drawers.” She expanded and I nodded my head once in understanding-
Her wounds had thankfully stopped bleeding and I pulled out a sterile gauze to wrap around it.
It wasn’t until I was finished that I noticed her burning stare on my face and when I lifted my eyes averted them quickly with a blush painting her cheeks
I shook my head in amusement, Freya confused me.
Silence hung in the air around us.
After a couple minutes of the awkwardness, I cleared my throat before speaking again.
“Let me see the list of chores I assigned to you.” I said finally.
to hers in question, she
And it wasn’t until I felt the tug, that I realized I was still holding on to her dainty hands. I immediately let her go, berating myself internally for the act
She pulled out the paper from her pockets and handed them over. Running my eyes through them, I saw three items left unchecked.
There was no way she could have finished half the chores herself and it upset me that she had asked for help even when she knew the consequences that would come with it.
“Did you finish all of these yourself?” I asked, even when I knew the answer.
She shook her head negatively, bowing her head in shame.
“When I ask a question, F–expect to be responded with words Freya.” I scolded and my personal maid slouched even further In her seat.
Almost as though she were trying to disappear completely.

“No Master.” She responded.
It helped that she had not lied, but it didn’t take it away and she had to get the punishment for it.
Go to the punishment room and wait for me on your knees,”
