The Omega For Sale

Greyson’s POV:

I watched Freya’s still body on the bed connected to more wires than I had ever seen together in a place at the same time and tears slipped from my eyes once more. The same way it had been for the last one week.

I had managed to bring her back home and Clara had gone straight to work on her. It had been the most gruesome four hours of my life. I had been shut out of the room and no matter how much I pounded on the door or shouted to be let in so I could see Freya, I had just been ignored.

And finally, after four long and painful hours, Clara had come with some news.

Freya had lost the twins but she was still alive, well barely.

Clara had assured me that she had only passed out from exhaustion, pain and loss of blood but that slowly but steadily she would make a full recovery.

That was a week ago. Freya was yet to do more than stir a little from her position and I hadn’t left the chair that I was perched on for more than once a day to use the bathroom that adjoined the room.

Clara assured me that she was alive, in fact all the machines that were currently surrounding her proved that she was alive but I was yet to see her beautiful green eyes again and day by day my restlessness and anxiety grew.

I couldn’t stop blaming myself for everything that had happened to Freya. I had assured her that I was going to protect her, but I had failed her, I failed my family.

I still didn’t know how to break the news to Freya when she woke up that she had lost the babies, I didn’t know what to do to help her heal and move on from the trauma that her capture had caused.

Every single day, I prayed and prayed to the Moon Goddess for a miracle. At this point I didn’t even know the exact miracle that I wanted done, I just really wanted to move on from everything that had just happened.

The door was pushed open gently and Smith poked his head into the room first.

He had been more than an incredible help to me in these last couple of weeks and I couldn’t ever be sure of what I would have done if it weren’t for him. He brought news about the pack and ran it as much as he could with a little guidance from me.

He brought me food daily and also made sure I had clean clothes to change into.

Although I had a lot of questions for my Beta especially concerning his true feelings for Freya I had just not been in the mood to bring up the topic so far.

The night when we had found Freya, it didn’t exactly sit well with me to think that Smith had coincidentally known that Freya was in trouble. There was just something that didn’t add up here and I was determined to find out what it was eventually.

“I brought some guests.” He whispered quietly and then pushing the door wider, he let in Jessy and Simon.

The kids had only been here once but they couldn’t spend much time especially since Jessy was upset about how unresponsive Freya was to her. I hope that my daughter would be better this time.

“Hi daddy.” She whispered to me and I opened my arms wide so I could carry her.

“Hi love.” I placed a kiss on her head as I ruffled Simon’s hair with my other hand as the latter said hello too.

I could see the sadness in his eyes since I returned, I could see the many questions in his little eyes and I felt terrible about it. The boy had lost his father and he knew but he didn’t know how to talk about it.

I tried to comfort him as much as I could even in my state and to make him as happy as I was trying to make Jessy. It worked sometimes but most times it felt like the boy was too intelligent to be carried away that easily.

“How is mommy? Is she waking up?” Jessy asked, scrambling in my arms so she could reach Freya on the bed to get a better look, but I kept a tight hold on her.

Clara had warned about the wires or machines getting disconnected or tangled at some point and I was trying to avoid that.

“Mommy is getting better. Let’s just leave her to rest, okay?”

“Why all these wire things around her? It’s gonna hurt her daddy.” Jessy said, reaching for the closest one to her but I pulled her away quickly.

“Don’t touch those Jessy, they are helping mommy okay. How’ve you been?” I asked her in an attempt to take away her attention from Freya’s frame on the bed.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“I miss you daddy and I miss mommy too. And Simon miss his daddy and he is sad too. Come home daddy.” Tears pricked at Jessy’s eyes and I hugged her close to my chest, burying my face in her neck to hide the tears that were threatening to fall from my eyes.

“It’s gonna be okay baby. You’ll see.” I whispered to her, rocking her back and forth.

And when I peeked out of her neck it was to find Simon looking at us longingly. I beckoned him to us and then picked him up into my arms. The two children remained quiet in my arms for what felt like a long time and when I checked they had both fallen asleep.

“You’re a great father Greyson and you’re doing amazing.” Smith said after a while and I sighed heavily.

“I need Freya alive and with me again Smith. I’m not going to last in the long run without her and that is it. Any news?” I asked adjusting the two children in my arms.

“Naomi has been in the dungeons since we got back as you know but I’m not sure what to do with her. She did help us find them on time but she worked with them in the beginning. I’ve not questioned her or anything, just kept her locked hoping the solitary confinement might help make things easier.”

“I’ll handle her when I’m back. No news on Zoe?”

“None. It feels like she has just disappeared into thin air. We’re still searching for her though and I promise, we’ll find her.” My Beta assured me and I nodded in understanding.

“Thank you Smith, for everything.”

We remained silent for a while and I just rocked the sleeping children in my arms while I let my thoughts run wild.

“The night we found Freya. How did you know she was in trouble?” I finally asked the question that I had been itching to ask and Smith turned his head away from me as if in embarrassment.

“I-I don’t k-know. It wa-” Smith had still been talking when I heard it.

It was faint at first, like a soft sneeze. But then it become coughs, then it was almost like she was choking.

Freya was waking up.
