Chapter 159
“Hi Freya. It’s nice to finally meet the woman who thinks she could try to come between mates. I’m Extel by the way”
There was no malice in the woman’s voice, in fact it
- pretty neutral alon difficult to really take her words for that they truly intended to
with her facial expression and it made it
I remained quiet and just continued to watch her. How the hell was it possible that she was alive? Zoe had admitted to killing her, I had visited her grave with Greyson and everyone else sected to think that she was dead, so how was she standing here in this moment?
I didn’t ask her any questions because I was more afraid of an answer than of being ignorant. Also, I had a feeling that I would get the answer I was looking for soon enough.
“Don’t you want to know how I got here?” She asked and for the first time since she entered the room, I heard true excitement in her voice.
“No?” She asked again when I remained silent.
“Alright that’s fine, I’ll tell you a different story then. The story of how I met Greyson and we fell completely in love.” She said the words in a sing song manner and it made it sound so fake.
Matthew snickered in the corner and I turned my eyes towards him but he only sneered at me.
The trio standing in the corner of the room all looked weird with Naomi sticking out the most, staring at the floor again in the manner that I had gotten used to her doing, but they were the least of my concern.
Where the hell was Zoe?
In all of this, the least I had expected was to see the scrawny maid, jubilating at the fact that her sinister plans were taking
form.
“We met at the Solace. The most beautiful event that is ever celebrated and it was almost magical. I left my pack because I was running away from my life there and I happened to run into my mate who happened to be the Alpha King. Almost fairytale like huh?” She asked.
It was as she spoke that I realized that I didn’t know a lot about his mate. We had only had that one conversation that night and it had been very open ended and shallow.
“Anyway, from then onwards it was just such a beautiful love story. Greyson might be ruthless and tough and he might be the all mighty ruler but within all of those tough shells he’s the sweetest man to ever exist. He’s thoughtful and kind and gentle and so very lovable.” She paused and when I looked at her, she had a faraway look in her eyes, like she was reliving her story in her head.
Well I might not know their story but I knew that the last part of her sentence was very true. There were a lot of things that made him too amazing. He was attentive and tender and built me up in a way I couldn’t even describe
Greyson was the word perfect itself.
He was desirable, absolute, complete and there was nothing I wouldn’t give to be able to see him again.
“We were together for a very short time, but I loved him with my whole heart and I know that he loved me too. But there was a problem.”

Chapter 159
I was more invested in this story now than I wanted to admit.
*38%2
“I can’t bear a child Freya. I’ve always known that since I was a gl. It’s a rare thingy that the healers can’t ever seem to explain right or provide a cure for.”
My eyes widened in horror and realization. Estel being alive wasn’t by late or the work of the Goddess was the only possible explanation for it.
It was witchcraft, that
As a child, we had been told these horror stories of witches being in existence and the evil they were capable of doing, but maybe growing up after a while these horrid stories lost their scare, well until one was face to face with them.
There could only be one reason they had decided to keep me alive.
“And that brings me to the main reason you’re here. You’re going to be kind enough to perform a womb swap with me. I can see you’re already cooking a bun in there and I couldn’t think of a more perfect time for this to happen.” Estel completed, letting out a laughter that Matthew and Roman joined in.
“That’s not going to happen! You have no right to my children and you’re not coming near them.
My voice didn’t come out as strong as I wanted it to be, evidence of how long it had been since I had to use them, plus the dehydration was even worse now.
“And what the hell are you going to do to stop it Freya? I think we can all agree that you’re the weakest person in this room right now and you’re at our mercy. At this point you should be begging for your life so that when we’re done you could still have it.” Estel’s voice had taken a more sinister tone.
And it made me wonder, if really this was the woman that I had seen in that picture that and radiated so much warmth, her eyes had held so much kindness and everything about her had just been so beautiful to behold.
I knew that it would be stupid to try to judge a person or their personality from a picture but I knew what I saw and that woman in that picture, definitely wasn’t this one standing before me.
“Excuse me please. I think I need to use the bathroom.” Naomi suddenly said with her eyes trained on me.
