*FREYA*
As Jet made his way towards me, I was thinking of a way to see Ethan in the dungeon and get him out without Jet knowing or the guards getting suspicious, As of right now he's the only one who can drag Morgana out of whatever hole she's currently hiding in. I wouldn't be able to do it alone, I need someone to help me but who?
I felt Hazel brushed past me just before Jet stopped in front of me. Not wanting to give him any indication that I was planning something, I took a step closer to him. "I knew she has something to do with it" I told him.
"And I never doubted you" His hands came to rest on my shoulders. "Trust me on this Freya, I will handle it. I have sent three of my guards to bring the doctor to me, one way or the other, I will find Morgana and when I do, I will bring her to your feet, and however you want to punish or torture her, you can do it to your heart content" He assured me, embracing me.
As my body melted against him, I close myself, hating myself for the fact that despite his assurance, I will still do what I wanted to do. There is a fire burning inside me and I knew it won't go off until I make Morgana pay. I don't want his help, this was something I needed to do alone.
I acted normal when we broke apart. "That would do" I force a smile, he was about to say something but we were interrupted by Hunter, who came to announce the arrival of someone, the person must be important since it catches his attention.
"I will be waiting for you in our room" I winked and he smirk back at me in response as we parted ways. Instead of going to our room like I promised, I use the back passage and went in the direction of Kale's bungalow. He doesn't stay there much since like Hunter and Claire, he also has a room in the castle. Unlike the previous time I was here, the door slide open when I knock on it.
Something exploded and my eyes widened in alarm but I calm down when I saw him stand up from the rise of smoke. "You were able to find it then— Oh! Freya?" His voice might have hidden his surprise but his expression didn't.
I look around for what exploded a while ago and found nothing. "I thought you have given up pranking by now but good thing you haven't because I need your help... Prank king" I smile sweetly at him, since the smoke already died down by now, we could see each other clearly.
He looked at me suspiciously. "Who are we pranking? Is it Jet?"
"Not really, I don't think it has something to do with pranking but it might be needed. I need help bursting Ethan out of the dungeon" I took a seat opposite him. "Don't you have a spray or something? It smells like smoke in here" I added.
"Burst?" He appears confused for a moment. "You mean, I should help you get Ethan out of the dungeon?" When I nodded in confirmation, he shook his head. "Are you trying to prank me?" He regard me uncertainly.
I decided to explain further to make things clear to him. "You were there when Ethan confessed right? Morgana has gone hiding and is being protected by the councils meaning the chances of us finding her are slim. I want to find her first before Jet does. Ethan can help me achieve that, I just need to temporarily get him out of the dungeon" I explained.
"I cannot help you even if I wish to Freya, Jet already suspect you are up to something. He will be watching you, we cannot do all these without him finding out. He might spare you because you are his mate but he will not spare me. Not only will I be disobeying my Alpha but I will be putting the life of my Luna in danger" He shook his head yet again.
"None of you understand what I'm going through. I thought you might understand me better because you are more in touch with your emotions compared to Jet and Hunter. I had a miscarriage Kale, do you know what that feels like? I lost my baby, a poor innocent child who died due to someone else selfish desire. I want Morgana dead"
"Do not try to emotionally blackmail me" He groaned. "I want Morgana dead as much as you. I never liked her to begin with and Jet only tolerated her because he felt responsible for her. Why do you think he dumped her? She was only his mistress for a week or so, Jet said she was too annoying and he could not find pleasures with her" Seeing the look on my face, he stopped abruptly and cleared his throat. "I'm sorry. Jet is looking for Morgana as we speak, let him handle it"
I stood up. "Fine then. I will do this alone"
"Wait—" Kale reach out and grab my wrist before I could leave. "Someone is out there" He whispers then raise his voice. "I can sense you and I know you are out there, show yourself at once" He growled. The door slid open and Hazel stood on the other side, a fearful look on her face.
"It's just Hazel" I told Kale as he lets go of my hand. I gestured for her to come inside. "What are you doing out there?"
"I saw you leaving through the back passage and I got worried and decided to follow you. I promise I was not eavesdropping on your conversations, I was waiting for Luna outside" Her last words were directed at Kale, who stared at her for a few seconds before finally nodding his head. I knew he was detecting to see if she was lying or not.
"That's so sweet of you. You might be the only one who truly cares about me" Ignoring Hazel uncertain look and Kale's chuckle, I lead her out of the house. Now that Kale has refused to help me, I have no idea who I'm going to ask for help.
"Is there anything I can get for you?" Hazel asked me once we were back at the castle and in my room.
"Something to eat. I'm starving" I replied, watching her go. My mind was elsewhere, it was only a matter of time before Jet take on my plan. They are still going to use Ethan to do the same thing I want to, I mean that's why he's still alive. I need to keep Jet distracted on something else if I want to even have a chance of getting Ethan out.
There was a knock on the door, I know the person couldn't be Hazel since she was here earlier so I went over to unlock the door and Kale stood there, playing with his hair in a manner that count as frustration or nervous manner.
"I cannot let you do this alone and I definitely do not want to report it to Jet. So as my Luna, I also owe you my loyalty" I almost smile but the defeated glare he sent in my direction had me fighting off the smile.
"Don't look so grumpy" I teased, opening the door wider for him. "You will have fun doing this. The first step of my plan is to create a distraction for both Hunter and Jet. Hunter's distraction is Claire" (No pun intended)"I will handle what to say to her, what can we do to distract Jet? Something that has to do with the councils?" I suggested and Kale nodded in agreement.
"I shall take care of Jet's distraction while you on the other hand will take care of Hunter's direction" He added.
"And I shall take care of the dungeon guards" A small voice said from behind and we both turned to see Camille standing there. Okay, her ability to sneak up on someone without being notice was something else, I thought at first I thought it has something to do with the fact that I was human. Even Kale hadn't noticed she was there, Jet is the only one she couldn't get past.
"How long have you been standing there?" Kale demanded, glaring at her.
She rolled her eyes. "Not very long" She faced me. "This is partially my fault and I want to help. While I was captured, we were trained for these types of situations. How do you think, I can sneak up on people without them knowing? Kale can create a distraction with one of his prank equipment and I shall sneak Ethan past them" She suggested and it was a brilliant idea.
So soft wrap on the door interrupted what I was about to say, a second later, Hazel came in with my meal. She stopped abruptly when she sight Camille and Kale.
"Thank you Hazel, please leave it in the room" I told her before replying to Camille's suggestion. "That's a very good idea and I hope I can trust you to play your part well with loyalty, no one must know or hear about this. Is that clear?" I pointed at both of them.
"Your maid is standing right behind you" Camille pointed out and I turn to see Hazel coming out of the room, she looked confused and shy, wondering why everyone was staring at her.
"I trust her" I simply told Camille but I didn't miss the little smug smile, Hazel directed at Camille as she walk out of the room. "So it is settled then, any question? I need to eat, I'm starving" When they shook their head, I was relieved. "If you will please excuse me" I dismissed them then went back to the room to eat hoping Jet would be delayed enough for me to finish eating and put on something sexy in time.
