    KAIDEN STIRLING


    I watched the interaction happening in the room from the far corner I had stood in.


    I wanted the family to have their own moment. I watched as Cisco and Lyra showered Freda with


    love or should I say I watched as Freda took it all in.


    She was a strong woman. I noticed how she fought back tears when Cisco promised her she would


    be okay after eating.


    I knew she was torn with not being able to assure her son that she was going to be okay.


    She didn’t deserve all what she was going through. I didn’t deserve to be loved by this woman but


    that didn’t stop me from noting how her hair fell over her face and back in graceful


    waves.


    She was a woman who didn’t have to try hard to look pretty and I f***king loved her for it. Despite


    the scars and wounds she glowed more than ever. She was a light to my dark. She was Freda. She


    was a fighter.


    She must have felt my heated gaze because she looked up at me and red at me but she couldn’t


    hide the way her cheeks heated in embarrassment and I chuckled at her adorableness.


    I was still lost in the moment when Dane my beta walked in gaining my attention.

    “Alpha” he greeted and I nodded in acknowledgement. “I’m assuming you’ve brought news” I asked


    and he nodded.


    “Any update?”Freda asked, interrupting us and I saw the conflict in Dane’s eyes as to whether he


    should inform her or not but he finally relented as Freda was directly involved in all this.


    I noticed the way Freda gestured to Lyra to distract Cisco and then Dane began to go into the


    details of his findings.


    “I was just discussing with Kaiden about how we would deal with the werewolf council”. He revealedProperty ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    and Freda urged him to go on.


    “Some of them had collided with Safiya to pass out an unjust judgment on you. I found that out after


    doing some diggings”. He revealed to her and she gasped and I saw as color drained from her


    cheeks as realization dawned on her.


    “So we have to find a way to remove them from their position and put them behind bars. We need to


    find concrete evidence that is strong enough to prove they byp**ed thews of our n”.


    I gave a ss of water to Freda and watched her closely. “That’s of why we need you to tell us


    exactly what happened on the d the meeting” I announced and Freda’s hold on the ss tightened


    and she took a short intake of breath.


    Then she began to speak. She told us of how she had been used at the meeting for attempting


    to murder Safiya and her baby.


    “They said I attempted to murder Safiya and her baby”. I was so confused at the time and the


    wolfsbane had already kicked into

    my system I couldn’t form words to defend myself.


    “Now that I think about it, Safiya clearly collided with the council members because they kept


    using me without letting me speak up for myself and when one of them tried to call Safiya out


    she shut them up”. Freda revealed and I frowned. Safiya had really crossed the line this time.


    “Now everyone thinks I’m guilty of something I have absolutely no idea of” she said exasperatedly. I


    felt sorry for her because there were no words offort I could offer her that would make her feel


    better.


    “Don’t worry Freda, we will surely find a way to prove your innocence. Just focus on getting better”.


    “You have a loving family counting on you to stay strong”. I gestured towards Lyra and Cisco as they


    looked at her lovingly from the couch which they were seated on and that seemed to ginger her up


    because she gave us a warm smile.


    “I trust you Kaiden but sometimes there are some things even we have no control over”. She


    murmured softly and I knew what she meant even without her saying it but there were no words of


    comfort I could offer her because she was right.


    After Freda had given us the necessary details we let her rest and Dane and I walked to the corner


    to discuss further details.


    There’s something else I didn’t say earlier. Dane said once we were alone


    “What’s that?”I inquired and he sighed. “The werewolf council cannot be stopped once they’ve


    started a hearing”.

    “It’s a part of the werewolfws. They are hell bent on punishing Freda. It’s only a matter of time


    before they storm in here and take her away”.


    “We have to find a way quickly to prove Freda’s innocence or we won’t be able to save her,” he


    announced, dropping the
