Chapter 146
The maid might be all over the place, especially when it came to handling her feelings and emotions but she was a good servant. One of the best I ever had and she had been serving me for a while now.

“I–I couldn’t sleep Master. Thought I might come down for some water. She responded and I hummed in understanding.
“Alright, off to bed then.” I said and moved towards the refrigerator to grab a bottle of water.
The moment I turned back around it was to find Zoe’s frame close to mine. So close that if I had not immediately halted in my tracks have bumped into her.

“Zoe, what the hell is your problem? Why are you standing so close to me?” I berated the girl and she swallowed before taking a step back.
I raised my brows at her and when she caught the action she took two more steps back and it wasn’t until she did that I felt like I could breathe better.
“Umm sorry, I didn’t realize. Master I wanted to talk to you about something.” She began and I squinted my eyes at her.
“As long as it’s not about that stupid thing you did then go ahead.
The moment I mentioned it, her cheeks flushed and she immediately turned her head uncomfortable it made her, she needed to learn and respect boundaries.
away from The.
I didn’t care how
“No it’s not about that, although I really apologize about that incident. I don’t know what came over me and I’m tr-
“Zoe, drop it. Back to what you wanted to discuss.” I dismissed immediately. The maid nodded her head in understanding.
“It’s about Freya Master.” The maid began and I frowned.
-What about her?”
“Sh–she’s not r–really who she s–says she is.” The girl stuttered and my frown deepened.
“Cut the bullshit Zoe. If you’re not going to make full and coherent sentences then get the hell out of my sight.” I said, on the edge of frustration already.
“I understand that you’re blinded by your love for her and the fact that she had one of your child and is carrying another one but she’s dangerous.”
The house was pretty quiet at the moment so it wasn’t very difficult to hear the sounds of footsteps coming down the stairs, but I urged Zoe to go on.
“Go on, I’m listening.” I urged. Regardless of the sounds moving towards us.
It wasn’t difficult to see that this was the vengeance in her and I didn’t know what Zoe intended to achieve with this but for her sake, I hoped she had a really good back up plan.
Freya appeared by the doorway and when her eyes fell upon bo of us standing in the kitchen she raised a brow in question.
Her eyes went to Zoe and although I couldn’t see the maid’s face since she was facing away from me and looking in Freya’s direction, but it wasn’t hard to guess what her features would be ke from the way Freya’s frown deepen

Chapter 146
“Is there a problem here? Freya asked, looking in my direction

“Zoe seems to think so. I was hoping she would be able to tell us what it is.” I said, opening the bottle of water before taking at sip out of it.
Before the maid could respond though, my phone began ringing and that was when I noticed, for the first time that it was within Freya’s hands.
“It’s Smith. He has been calling for a while now and he keeps disturbing my sleep. I think it’s an emergency though seeing the time.” Freya said, moving from her position to give the phone to me.
“Hello?”
“Greyson, where the hell have you been? I’ve been trying to reach you. We’re under an attack! I’m trying to safely get the women and children to your home where I know they will be safe. Instruct the guards to open the gate and you might need to reach.
I could still hear Smith talking but it was getting harder and harder to process his words. I had gotten the main message though and so I sprung into action. I dropped the call and then grabbed an extra bottle of water and pulled out some snacks from the bag that usually held them before turning to a Freya
“Come with me.” I said to Freya.
“Where’s Zoe?” I asked, gently pulling her in the direction of the stairs.
“She left, the moment you answered the call. What’s the problem
“The pack is under an attack. You have to stay in Jessy’s room. The house in general is very safe and I think Jessy will still be sleeping and I don’t want to disturb her so it’s best you both stay in her room. I’ll put a guard in front of the door too.”
The moment we got to the four years old room, I gently pushed Freya into it, but she held onto me tightly. The fear in her eyes wasn’t very difficult to see.
“Please Greyson. Don’t go out there, I beg you please.” Freya pleaded with tears streaming down her eyes.
I have to honey. I promise I’ll be back. I’ll sort everything out and I’ll be right back. That’s a promise honey.” I said softly to her.
Wrapping my arms around her in a hug and dropping a kiss on her forehead and her lips.
“Lock the door once I go out. I’ll be back soon Freya, I promise said.
It wasn’t until I heard the click of the lock back in place that I left the spot. My heart was going wild in its cage and the sound of Freya’s crying from within the room made me want to turn around and stay in the room with her, but I had a responsibility.
To protect my pack and most importantly to protect my family could only pray to the Goddess that things didn’t get out
of hand.
