Eclipse 99

Damien’s pov. 

As I opened my eyes. I stared at the ceiling for a whole while, the 

feeling of excitement washed over me. 

I was going to be king today and Freda was going to be my queen, 

speaking of queen I ought to wake mine with a smothering kiss. I 

turned to her side of the bed and didn’t see her. Immediately I shot 

right out of bed, I looked around, and I checked the bathrooms and 

the mini study room, she wasn’t in there and the side of her bed was 

cold which meant she had been up a while. 

My heart began beating fast as I tried to calm myself, she probably 

was just so excited about today and couldn’t sleep, or she had gone 

out with Christie to get ready, that was a lie I thought to myself as I 

called the attention of a passing guard, outside my room. 

“Fetch me the maid Christie,” I said and he bowed. I closed the door 

to my room and paced around, if there was anything I knew how reluctant Freda was to be crowned my queen, what if she ran away? 

The thought suddenly crossed my mind and I froze, that was a possibility but I don’t think Freda has the resources to get on with such a plan besides she would have done that since. Shaking my head

I disagreed with my thoughts, she would not leave me. 

“Your Highness you sent for me” Christie’s voice broke through my 

thoughts from outside the door. 

“Come” I barked out and she opened the door, she looked frightened 

half to death. 

“Do you know where Freda is or if she has started preparing for the 

ceremony?” I asked and she shook her head. 

“I need words, servant girl, speak!” I said now raising my voice. I was 

feeling a lot of emotions that I was losing the ability to control my 

anger. 

“N–no your Highness, I have not seen the queen, nobody has seen her 

since we resumed duties this morning,” she said and my heart sank, 

nobody had seen Freda? That wasn’t possible, we slept together last 

night, I had her in my arms where could she have gone? 

“Are you sure you did not see her roaming around the garden?” I 

asked, trying to be clear. Christie shook her head and immediately I 

felt a needle like a prickle in my chest, I rubbed my temples, 

something was wrong, something was very wrong. 

“Her family is still here?” I forced myself to ask and she nodded.

“Yes your Highness, even her best friend Kara is around, I met her on 

the way here,” Christie said and for some reason, I felt a bit relieved, 

if her family and best friend were here that meant she was around the 

castle walls. 

“Be on the lookout for her, and let me know as soon as you get a 

glimpse of her” I said and she nodded before turning around to walk 

out of the room, I moved over to my bed and sat down, she was 

around, she was within the castle grounds, I said to myself trying to 

believe it, but the gnawing feeling at the pit of my stomach wouldn’t 

let me believe that. 

Something was off. And Freda felt far from me. I busted out of the 

chamber and burst into Kara who was already coming into the room, 

her eyes were red. 

“Where is Freda?” We both chorused. “You don’t know where she is?” I 

blurted. 

“No. I…I should be asking you, Damien you slept with her.” 

“I woke up and didn’t find her either. Call the family.” 

“I don’t think so,” Kara said, but panic was evident in her face. “What 

if the news spread that she is not home.”

“What do you mean she is not home? She wouldn’t have passed the walls of this cable!” I growled and Kara was taken aback. “Tell 

everyone to find her!” Kara ran off immediately. 

My demon almost exploded out of me, the beast in me fueling with 

rage. Freda loved me, there was no way she escaped before her coronation. Was this her plan all along? Who gave her the boldness to 

think such? 

I refused to think after everything Freda and I had gone through she 

would leave me. Maybe someone hurt her? Maybe they didn’t want 

her to be queen. I needed to question everyone that was in the castle 

premises for the whereabouts of my mate. 

Who would dare to do that to me? The castle decorators were all 

around and preparations for the coronation and feast had already 

begun. 

I walked into the living room, Kara had already done what she was 

told, the werewolf pack was here, even the nobles. Elara walked up to me. “What is it that I am hearing?” 

“Listen everyone!” I roared. “Five minutes to find Freda in this castle, 

or your legs would be chopped off for vultures to feed!” 

The chatter and side talks in the room heightened as Elara touched

my back trying to cool me down. 

“Did you fight with her?” She asked me quietly such that others could 

not hear us. 

“I didn’t. We…we made out last night” I couldn’t believe my voice had 

broken and before I could gather up my emotions, a tear already 

dropped from my eyes. Elara’s eyes widened, looking around my face 

to see where the tears came from. 

“Okay, this is unusual. Damien take a deep breath” She said, holding 

onto my hand. “You can not break down Damien” she hit 

“We are going to find Freda” 

my 

chest. 

My heart raced as I paced the room, the chatter from the werewolves 

just adding to my violence. Freda never left the castle, she barely 

even knew how many rooms this castle has. How could she be out of 

this place and where the hell did she think she was going? 

If anyone else was involved in this, their faces would be scratched on 

the floor.
