The Omega For Sale

Greyson’s POV:

Dreamlike.

That was the way it felt. My mind was yet to wrap around the fact that this was truly happening. I couldn’t believe any of it and that was the scariest part. I was very afraid that my mind had tricked me into believing that the last hour was true and then I was soon going to wake up and find out that it had all been a dream.

Freya was going to be my Luna. We were expecting our babies again and our family was growing and forming into something really beautiful.

I was grateful to the Goddess. She had served us a bitter fate before now. But it seemed like she was making it all better again and I felt truly happy about it all.

The band was still going on in the corner and I could say that their touch to this already special night was all we needed to create perfection. Everything about tonight had gone incredibly well and I was so pumped for it. So happy to see it all start to make sense from here onwards.

Just as the thought that Freya had been gone for a minute now crossed my mind, I heard the ear splitting scream that almost sent my heart into an attack come from the bathrooms where I know my mate was. I jumped out of my seat and in a second I was pushing open the door to the restroom.

Freya was standing in front of a stall, with tears streaming down her eyes and her attention fixated to the wall opposite her. I quickly pulled her into my arms, pressing her face into my chest and shielding her from whatever was making her so distraught.

And then that was when I caught the words that had been inscribed onto the wall in what looked to be blood. I tensed at the sight, looking around the space to find anything out of place but there was none.

I knew I had to thoroughly search within and outside the space to find a clue as to what could have happen but I couldn’t do it immediately. I needed to get Freya home and safe first.

Whoever was doing this needed to be stopped and quickly too.

“She was here, she knows everything. She’s back here. She’s going to try and kill me and take my babies again.” Freya mumbled maniacally, shaking like a leaf that had been left out in the rain.

“It’s okay. It’s fine. You’re fine, I promise. H

Just breathe Freya.” I said softly to her, running a finger along the open back of her dress.

Eventually Freya’s tears became sniffles and then began to die. I led her out of the restaurant and into the car. Making sure she was okay before moving into my side of the seat.

I couldn’t believe it. How could anyone have infiltrated the place? How would whoever had known that we were going to be there tonight. Only myself, Smith and the people who had helped with organizing the place had known about it. So who amongst them could have given away that information?

I knew in my heart that it wasn’t Smith. He wouldn’t do it to me or his sister. Then the organizers were also trusted people. I had wanted this to not only be private but to be a secret even for Freya that it had been set up for.

The ride home was silent and uncomfortable. I could see the tears still roll down from Freya’s face even when she wasn’t sobbing out loud anymore and it broke my heart.

This evening had begun on such a wonderful note and it had been going exceptionally well too and suddenly it had just been thrashed.

Our happy ending to the night had just been taken away by this person, force or whatever that had decided to always intrude and steal what little happiness we could get.

Now the mission was changed, the mission now wasn’t to find all the people involved with this. It was to find whoever was leading it. Find whoever was responsible for it happening in the first place and then take care of them permanently.

We drove into our home and Freya was out of the door before I could properly put the car in park. I could just see how devastated and afraid she was and that was the feeling I did not ever want near her ever again.

I finished parking the car and headed into the house, moving straight for the flight of stairs and in the direction of our room. When I met the room empty and dark, worry began stirring in my heart again, until I hear the sobs coming from the bathroom.

I walked there and it was to find Freya struggling with her zipper with fat tears rolling down her eyes. I went behind her to help with the stuck zipper and once I was done I pulled her into my arms again, allowing her to cry out as much as she wanted.

“She’s going to take you away from me.” She finally said in a whisper after a while and i shook my head no.

“She’s not. She can’t. You’re the only one for me now Freya, there’s nothing anyone can do about that now.” I reassured but my mate shook her head before pulling away from the hug to look at me.

“It’s not ordinary. It’s witchcraft. I told you, Zoe is using magic to look like your mate. She obviously knows that you know your mate is dead and unable to come back to life, why else will she choose your mate’s form if she didn’t have a more sinister plan?

She was going to take my womb and my babies and swap them into hers, how else do you think that would have been possible? Whatever she’s using to do all of these can be used to eventually get to you. I think my concerns right now are very valid Greyson.” She said.

Stripping off the rest of her clothes and stepping into the already filled bath. I didn’t join her, instead I stood by the sink and just watched her soak up. It was a long time before she was pulling the stopper and rinsing off but eventually she got out of the bath, wrapped a towel around herself and moved out of the bathroom.

Sighing heavily, I turned around to look in the mirror. Smith had done a good job with making me look really good tonight and even under all the stress that I felt, I could still see how good I looked tonight. I rinsed off my face and then pulled out a towel to dry it, before entering the room where Freya was getting into bed.

I moved to the closet to change my clothes before joining her, placing a kiss on her head once I was close enough.

“She’s never going to be able to break this family. That’s not our fate, we were not given all of this for it to be taken away from us all over again.” I whispered to Freya but she said nothing, instead she offered me a small smile, before moving closer to place a kiss on my lips.

I watched as she eyes dropped slowly with sleep and eventually she shut it. I stroked her tummy for a while, enjoying the hardness and warmth that came with our babies.

It was amazing to watch Freya grow the babies within her everyday. The little changes in her body as the time went on, the growth of our babies, it was really beautiful to watch it all.

I pulled the hair that had fallen into her face out and smiled when she tried to swat at my fingers. I didn’t know how this woman could be so adorable and precious at the same time.

This wasn’t something I ever wanted to lose, this was one thing I wanted to hold on to forever. Being with Freya really made me feel indestructible, it felt like I could do whatever I wanted, however I wanted it and all would still be fine. It made me feel even stronger and more powerful. I could spend all night explaining the feeling.

After placing a gentle kiss on her head, I moved out of the bed and left the room after picking up my phone that had been laying on the nightstand.

I stopped first at Jessy’s room and the sight of all the toys scattered around made me smile. This wasn’t a regular occurrence but I could only imagine whatever scenario could have happened here to make the four years old leave her toys laying all around.

I picked up everything as carefully as I could, without making a lot of noise, which was close to impossible because who knew that children toys made this much noise? And then I began arranging them into the toy box before placing them in their usual positions.

I moved towards Jessy’s bed and settled beside her, doing my best to not rest my entire weight on her little bed. I stroked the hair out of her face and placed a gentle kiss on her head, I didn’t like that I wasn’t spending as much time as I should with her but I had every intention to make up for that.

I moved out of her room and into Simon’s and to my surprise it was to meet the boy wide awake on the bed.

“What’s the problem honey? Are you okay? Why are you not sleeping?” I tried.

I moved closer to him and when I was close enough, he fell into my arms and wrapped his small arms around me in a hug. I couldn’t even explain how my heart tripled in size at the action. My biggest fear was Simon feeling as if he wasn’t a part of my family for some reason.

I knew that he got along very well with Jessy but I wasn’t sure if it would be the same with Freya and myself and maybe even Smith and I was determined to make sure that he got along no matter how hard it would be.

“Had a scary dream.” He finally responded after a while but he refused to let go of me.

I carried him into my arms and moved out of the room, heading in the direction of my office.

“It’s okay. You’re fine. Nothing is going to happen to you, okay?” The small head nod was all the response I needed.

Once I was inside the office, I settled on my seat with the four years old in my arms and ran my fingers through his hair hoping to calm him down even more so he could fall asleep again.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

It was starting to work cause I could feel the tension leaving his body, my phone screen came alive and I picked it up to observe the screen. It was a text from Smith.

Smith – 10:05pm “Hey, how did it go? Was it successful? I was expecting an update at some point. Did everything go alright? I’m texting Freya and I’m getting no response. Will I be interrupting anything if I call?”

I immediately hit the call button once I read through his texts.

“Hey, I wasn’t expecting you to call immediately? Did everything go well?” Smith’s voice came through the moment he picked the call.

“Yes, everything went well, the evening was perfect, I did ask her to be my Luna to which she agreed and after that she stood up to go to the bathroom and that was when everything went wrong.”

“What? What do you mean, wrong? What happened?” He asked and I went on to tell him how our evening had ended.

“Wow! How is it even possible? I didn’t think powers like that even existed anymore. Did she like dig up Estel’s grave and then put her soul into the body? Or like did she just create a conjuring and take her form standing in front of a mirror? Like how fo these things even work?”

If the situation was different I might have laughed from the genuine confusion in Smith’s voice along with how funny his statement sounded but I didn’t have it in me to do that.

“I wish I knew Smith but we need help and fast too. If we’re going to be dealing with whatever it is that we’re dealing with then maybe we might need extra help from someone who might understand how it all works.”

“Do you think Clara might be able to help?” Smith asked and I thought about it for a moment.

“She might know someone who can. I’ll get in touch with her by the evening tomorrow. In the meantime, come morning we start preparing for the Luna ceremony. Whatever this is, they don’t want that ceremony to take place and the faster we can do it the easier it would be to draw them out before they can cause any damage.”

“Alright. I’ll be there by morning.”

We said our goodbyes and I stayed in my seat for a minute, rocking Simon from side to side. Once I was sure he was sleeping alright, I headed for his room again, tucking him into bed, placing a kiss on his forehead before exiting the room and closing the door behind me.

Freya was still sleeping peacefully in bed like I had left her and so I climbed into the bed and pulled her closer to me. Wrapping my arms around her, burying my face in her neck and letting sleep take over me.
