Freya grew up as the stain of the dukedom-an unwanted child born from a mistress, ignored by the duchess, despised by servants, and punished for simply existing. Yet she learned to survive with a sharp mind and a quiet, unyielding will. At seven years old, her life changed the moment the First Prince, Sirion, arrived. He was supposed to be her fiancé. He was supposed to be her future. Instead, he became her first betrayal. Humiliated, punished, and cast into darkness because of him, Freya swore one thing: She would never bow her head to the prince again. Years later, when Freya reappears in society-beautiful, unreadable, and no longer the frightened child he remembers-Prince Sirion feels something he never expected- But Freya? She only smiles. "You taught me what cruelty is, Your Highness. Allow me to return the favor.", she thought. A story of revenge, power, and the dangerous dance between love and hatred.

In The Eyes Of Fate Series (Book One) "Don't even think about it." I stood frozen in place as he said those words from behind me, which sent shivers down my spine. The rain started running down my face as I started thinking of a way out of here. My body trembled in fear knowing that he could easily hurt me. I'm not strong against someone like him Thoughts raced through my mind as I tried to think of a way to get away from him. But there was nothing but endless trees around me. I blinked away the water running into my eyes due to the rain. My thoughts were disturbed when he suddenly spun me around to face him, his face just inches away from mine. "P-Please don't hurt m-me." I stuttered out. I tried to sound brave and not let my fear show, but my mouth betrayed me. His golden red eyes flickered with a hint of pain for a moment then back to a cold stare, "I'd never hurt you, never put you in harm's way and I'm never letting him take you from me, you're mine." He said in a deep low voice, almost a growl, and his eyes seemed to have gotten darker. 'What the hell is that supposed to mean?!' I tried taking a step back but his grip on my arm tightened. It hurt. "L-let me go, you, you're hurting me!" I looked up at him scared, his eyes were now completely dark, and the next thing I noticed were pointed teeth poking out from his lips. I screamed and pushed at him but he didn't budge. I then raised my knee and kneed him between the legs with all my force, and he dropped like a rock, holding his groin. Run. I took my chance. And ran. ~~~ Nora Brown, a normal adult, living a normal life. Moving away from home to start fresh and meet new people. Just going where life takes her. Who knew that just one short encounter at work with a god-like man, would flip her life entirely upside down, and nothing would ever be the same again. So much for normal.
