The Omega For Sale

Greyson’s POV:

I watched Freya’s sleeping frame on the bed and different emotions went through my mind at the events that had taken place in minutes prior.

From the bedroom where we had just been standing in each other’s arms sharing comfort, to the point till which she had matched out of the room, shaking in anger. I would have gone after her immediately and tried to stop her from doing whatever or at least find out what was running through her mind.

But Jessy had shifted on the bed and she had made a noise of pain. I had to pause to observe her for a moment and when I saw the four years old frame move with even more pain I knew that she was due for another one of the pain suppressants that the healer had prescribed.

And so it wasn’t until after I had given it to her and watched as she settled into her sleep once more that I could go after Freya.

‘You’ve been sneaking around, trying to get me in trouble one way or another, sneaking to the garden at odd hours and coming in with dirt streaked hands and clothes. I found your scrunchie in the woods and above all you threatened me once if I remember correctly.’

As I got to the doorway of the only open door in the quarters where Freya’s voice seemed to be coming from, these words were the ones that stopped me in my tracks and took the breath away from my lungs.

That would explain a few things. Like the mud prints in the kitchen that morning plus Jessy had often expressed discomfort in the maids presence and one time when I had sent for the maid because of an assignment I had for her, Jessy who happened to be playing in my office at the time immediately stood from her spot and wiggled her way into my lap from the moment the maid stepped into the room.

It wasn’t until the maid was out of the office again that Jessy wiggled her way out and had gone back to playing.

Those were all the confirmations I needed, all of it glaring was in my face. Emilia had poisoned Jessy, a child that I loved with my entire heart, a child that had become an essential part of me. There was no way in hell she was going scot free.

Freya stirred on the bed and I moved closer to her, I hated seeing her this way, she looked pale and I could still see the tear streaks on her face and when her eyes flipped open, those pretty emerald orbs that I fell in love with were filled with so much sadness, that it hurt me even more.

“My head hurts.” Freya whispered and I gently pulled her so she could remain laying on the bed.

“You have to lay down baby, your body has been through a lot in the last couple of minutes.” I advised.

And thankfully Freya did as I said, but she turned to me with question filled eyes.

“What do you mean?” She asked, once she was settled comfortably on the bed again.

“Well your wolf had tried to take over your body, because of all the anger you were feeding her, but you were still very active and not willing to grant her that permission to take over, so she had tried to force through the angrier you got so that force knocked you out. Now that you’re calmer, I think you’ll have better control over her but you need to relax so your body can recuperate from the force of it all.” I said.

Freya nodded her head in understanding and then we both went silent. I could see the emotions flash through her eyes and the thoughts milling around in her head.

That was one of the things that I loved about Freya amongst many. She was like an open book. I could easily tell what she was feeling from looking in her eyes or watching her body movements, I was able to help her before she even spoke and it made me feel so good.

But this time I wanted her to come to me, I knew how overwhelmed she felt and that the entire situation was too much for her to bear, so the last thing that I wanted to do was push her against her will to talk to me, or ask her questions that might trigger her in the wrong way, so I kept quiet and just watched her, while stroking her hand gently.

“I need to check up on Jessy.” She suddenly said after a while, moving hurriedly out of the bed.

I moved with super human speed so I was at her side immediately because just as I expected the moment she got out of the bed she staggered and if it were not for my frame already holding her up she would have been coming in contact with the floor.

“I told you Freya, you have to rest more. You don’t feel well enough to be able to move around just yet. Jessy is alright, I promise. Just rest a little.” I coaxed gently.

Guiding her back onto the bed and tucking her in again, I placed a gentle kiss on the top of her forehead and when I pulled away to find tears streaming down her eyes, it broke my heart even more.

“What’s the problem Freya? Why are you crying?”

“It’s my fault. It’s my fault that this is happening with Jessy.”

“No, you can’t say that. You had nothing to do with this and there wasn’t much you could do to stop it anyway. You didn’t know this was going to happen.” I said.

“But I did! All the signs were there, I saw her comme and go and do all of these things right before my very eyes and I didn’t say a word about it, I kept letting it go, I didn’t want to pay it any attention, and now look at it, I’m going to loose my only child, just loo-”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“Hey, hey, Freya look at me.” I called out when she began to get a little hysterical, the sound of my voice seemed to calm her down because she stopped talking and looked straight at me.

I wiped the tears streaming down her face with my fingers and remained quiet for a few seconds hoping to give her a little time to relax before I spoke again.

“Now calm down and tell me everything. This is about Emilia right?” I asked and she nodded her head.

“Good. Now calm down and tell me everything. From the very beginning.” I said and Freya took a deep breath before she began talking.

“From the very first time that we both came to live here, I just knew that she would be trouble for me, but the moment I noticed something was really off with her was the first time that w-we, you know.” She said, her cheeks turning crimson.

I knew exactly what Freya was referring to and even the situation was not enough to stop the chuckle that came out of my lips. Which was a good thing because Freya smiled a little.

“Well after we did that and I was going to my room that morning, I saw her coming out of the kitchen and it was obvious that she had been outside in the garden, her clothes and fingers were stained and she was very hostile but that wasn’t just it. When she turned around to leave I saw something stick out of her pockets, I couldn’t figure out what it was at the time but now the picture is clearer. It was plants of some sorts.”

Freya paused and the faraway look in her eyes let me know that she was transported to that day again. There were more tears rolling down her face at this point and no matter how often I wiped at them, more just kept pouring down her face.

“After that day, it was one thing or another. It was your pictures next, I’m not sure what she was trying to achieve from that but I believe that she had been the one to plant it there. Then another time I found the garden gate open and when I went to lock it was to find her scrunchie outside of it.

Two weeks after the scrunchie had been in my cupboards, I found her in my room rummaging through my drawers until she found the hair band and when she did and I threatened to report her to you she threatened me back, told me to watch my back because I was the most vulnerable in this house.

She threatened Jessy too and Goddess knows that after she left, I set out to come tell you about my findings but I got distracted. And then at the festival too. I saw her.”

“Wait, what? You saw Emilia at the Solace? Why didn’t you say anything? I would have dealt with her right away, if I had known that she were there.” I interrupted, feeling my blood boil even faster beneath my skin. Freya was already shaking her head at my words.

“That was the exact reason I didn’t tell you. Our night was just beginning and maybe I was being selfish but I knew that the moment I told you about her, Our night would come to an end and the entire experience would be over. Jessy was making new friends, we were having a good time, I didn’t want her to ruin it for us. I didn’t know it would result to this, I’m so sorry.” Freya said, bursting into another fresh bout of tears.

I took her into my arms in a hug, dropping a kiss on her head and whispering comforting words into her ears. I didn’t want to make her feel worse about the situation. That wasn’t going to help either of us at all.

“Is there anything else that you remember?” I asked, with my arms still wrapped around her, stroking her hair gently.

“Earlier this morning while I was in the kitchen with Christie, Emilia came into the kitchen from the garden. It was obvious that she had come from the woods. Her hands and fingers were streaked with dirt and even her pajamas. I’m sure she didn’t expect that we would be up so early, but of course when we asked questions she was only hostile to us before she exited the kitchen.” Freya finished.

That was all the information I needed, Emilia was responsible for poisoning Jessy and she would pay with her life whether or not Jessy survived it. I was more than happy for the self control that I had because all that I wanted in this moment was to storm out of the room and claw the maids brain out.

But I couldn’t do that, not right away. I needed to be here for Freya, who was still crying.

“She poisoned Jessy, she has tried to take my baby’s life and there’s nothing I can do now except hope and pray. And this is my fault. She has to pay.” Freya said, struggling within my hold.

It was obvious how weak her entire body was because she could barely even struggle properly. I knew how much this entire thing was for her and it pained me more than I could express.

“It’s not your fault Freya. Jessy is going to be fine, I trust Clara a lot and about Emilia, just leave her to me Freya. You have to trust me on this one.” I said.

Freya cried for a very long time after that, she switched between muttering about how worried she was about Jessy and how angry she was at Emilia. And through it all, I only continued to feed her as much comfort and love as I could.

And soon her eyes were dropping with exhaustion. It wasn’t long after then that her eyes fell shut completely. I felt relieved watching her sleep because it meant bliss. Even if it was only going to be momentarily I knew that she was better off asleep for now.

Placing a kiss on her forehead, I laid her properly on the bed and pulled the sheets higher up her frame.

Letting out a deep breath, I let my thoughts run around. The two people that I loved and valued so much, were in a lot of pain and it was all because of one person, I didn’t know what she hoped to achieve with this, but that was the thing. I didn’t care one bit.

I exited the room and made a beeline for my office, the only space that was the best for thinking, but on my way I found the head maid.

“Zoe, what are you doing up here?” I didn’t need any one of them around Jessy. I already knew who did it but until I was satisfied that she was working alone, I didn’t trust any of the maids to be around Freya and Jessy.

“Oh Master, I was looking for you. Beta Smith is downstairs and he wanted to speak with you.” She delivered.

Smith had been unable to attend Jessy’s party. He gave some shitty excuse about being busy but I knew it was bullshit. Smith adored Jessy a lot and he would give an arm to be around the little girl, so the fact that he had turned down the invitation was surprising.

What was even more surprising was the fact that he was here now, after the party.

“Send him up here, tell him to meet me in my office and then when you get back to the quarters. Ask Emilia to wait in the punishment room for me.” I said.

The maids eyes widened in shock at my instruction but she nodded her head in understanding, scurrying out of my presence immediately.

Things were about to get ugly for someone. Or maybe some people, because there was no way that Emilia would have been planning this alone. No matter how evil her intentions were, I knew that there was no way in hell that she would have been able to pull through this on her own.

The words of the rogue that I had tortured some time back, flashed through my mind. There were people who knew about myself, Freya and Jessy and they wanted to bring harm to us.

I didn’t care what it would take, I was going to find every last one of these people involved with messing with my family, and blood was going to run.
