Eclipse 130

Chapter 130 

Freda’s POV 

The silence grew longer than I expected, and I knew something was 

wrong. 

“What happened?” I asked, beginning to look as horrified as my voice 

sounded. Why was he asking after me and not coming to see me? I 

had expected to wake up to him and not Kara or Christie. 

“Wait, is my mother fine?” I asked and Kara nodded. 

“Your dad rescued her first. Apparently, Williams had nothing to do 

with her and only used her to get you,” she said, and I nodded. As 

much as I wanted to go back to talking about what happened, I 

needed to know more about Damien. 

“He wasn’t killed, Damien took him and had Lord Balen locked up in 

the chambers.” 

“What about Verestina? I didn’t hear you say she was locked up. Did 

she escape? Don’t tell me she got out of this?!” I asked, frowning, my 

sadness quickly replaced with anger.

“No, she couldn’t escape. His Highness killed her instantly. You 

should have seen the look on his face when he tore her apart. He 

plans to use Lord Balen and his Uncle as an example,” Christie said 

with a smirk on her face and I knew she was enjoying this. 

I should have been happy about how everything turned out, my 

mother being okay and Verestina finally getting what she deserved, 

but I wasn’t. I turned to take out something Damien gave me that I 

had put in the drawer next to our bed, but as I turned I did not see the 

drawer. I frowned, turning around to look at both Christie and Kara. 

“This isn’t my room, what’s going on?” I asked. 

“This is your room, Freda,” Kara said sadly. 

“No, my room was bigger, now that I think about it, the door wasn’t in 

front of the bed but b-” I wasn’t in the Castle, I wasn’t with Damien, I 

wasn’t even around him, what was going on. 

“This isn’t Valthrun, is it,” I said slowly, and Kara nodded. 

Immediately, tears welled up in my eyes, and my heart broke. I had 

yet to understand why I was in my father’s kingdom and not Valthrun, 

why I was not with Damien, I wanted to be with Damien. 

“You should not cry, Freda“, I heard Christie say, and I realized I had 

been crying. My hands slowly reached my face and I felt wetness and

cleaned it off. 

“W–why?” I asked gently. I needed to know why I wasn’t with Damien. 

Has he left me…? Finally? 

“He brought you here himself and looked after you until he left the 

next day. Christie was brought in the next day after he left. When he 

stayed there, he never left your bedside, he didn’t eat, shower, or 

sleep, he watched you all day and night. He even refused to get 

treated because he needed the doctor’s attention all on you,” Kara 

said, sounding sad. While she talked my heart felt heavy. I didn’t 

realize I was crying again until my shoulders began heaving. I missed 

him. 

“Was he angry? H–he didn’t even look at me when he came to save 

me, h–he didn’t” I said with tears, and Kara moved to sit on the bed 

beside me trying to console me. 

“I–I don’t know” Kara answered. Christie was already crying as well, 

and it broke me even further. 

“I need to see him.” I stood up from the bed. 

“Where do you think you’re going?” Kara frowned. “Not until you’re 

completely healed.

“I am healed, at least I am awake.” I didn’t feel better yet, I only felt 

seeing Damien would ease all the pain. 

“Well, this is not a place where you can escape again, Freda. All eyes 

are on you. The whole werewolf pack has been guarding your room 

since you have been unconscious.” 

I sank back into the bed, my body hurting me and a pounding 

headache followed suit. All I wanted to achieve…the freedom with my 

mother, the college life I had always wished for, the happy life with 

Damien…none of it was coming to pass. I am a mess now, I lost 

everything. 

Did Damien perhaps know that I had never wanted to be his queen? 

Would he translate that to me not wanting to be a part of his life? I 

wished he was here, I needed to explain to him that the freedom I 

wanted was internal, I wanted freedom from the feeling of being 

oppressed and bullied at a young age. Freedom from being told only 

what to do, living by people’s rules, freedom from having to hide 

under people’s superiority because I didn’t have mine. 

I needed the freedom to live by my own decision. I guess I had none 

of that now. 

How long will my healing take and would Damien ever visit during 

these times? I needed to talk to my father. He was with Damien when 

I was being rescued. Something must have happened.

Chapter 130 

Damien wouldn’t see me in such a long time and then leave without 

me being awake. It was more than I thought. He was angry with me 

and I needed to know why. 

I wanted to apologize to him, for hurting him. For ruining his plans to 

be king, for making him a mess. I wanted to be wrapped in his arms 

for the rest of the day. 

“Enough thinking Kara snapped her fingers twice in front of me. “You 

should get something to eat.” She gestured toward Christie, who 

walked out of the room and came in with a trolley of food afterward. 

It didn’t feel like Damien’s palace and I missed the scent, style, and 

manner of how Damien treated me. 

Soon, I whispered to myself. I was going to reach out to Damien 

myself if anyone tried to stop me in the future. Planning another 

escape wouldn’t be a big deal. I needed to know where I stood in 

Damien’s life.
