Chapter 3

Freya’s POV

When I returned to the Silverfang estate, I heard her voice before I even stepped into the den.

“Now that Aurora is back—and she’s a pilot, no less—you should divorce Freya and mate her instead,” Caelum’s mother, Eleanor, said with confidence that dripped like poison.

“Aurora and I are just friends,” Caelum replied, his voice low.

“Friends? Please,” another voice scoffed.

That would be Giselle, his younger sister. “Everyone knows you were in love with Aurora first. She’s the first female pilot of the Airborne Wing! Freya doesn’t even have a title. She has nothing. She’s just… no match for you.”

Their words slithered through the air like venom.
