Freya’s POV
I looked around my surroundings first when my eyes popped open, just for a familiar item to tell me where I was, if I have finally joined my unknown forefathers or if I am now dining with the angels in the afterlife, but instead of that, I am faced with a large decorated room, somewhere in our pack. I was sure it was our pack because of the scent and it reeked of werewolves. I thought since the lake didn't kill me, it only means more problems for me. Now, I have to explain myself to everyone demanding why and what I was thinking to jump into the lake. I could say it was at least a good thing that The selection ended and I was not among the chosen one. I just need to find a maid to ask about what has happened. Who was that man running after me? And Cole, Why did he leave me to myself when he was the one who put the stupid thoughts in my head about running away? I know for a fact that he would not be there if I start receiving my punishment or even after. Not with Diana on his neck. I was stuck on a warm bed, unwilling to move until I have somehow checked out the options I have or just to even know if I have any option at all. “Things came up Father, I and the rest will come back tomorrow after we have gotten enough rest” A deep unrelenting voice sounded at the corner of the room. I became still and I could not look. It was not a voice I recognize. “Yes, a very unfortunate situation,” The voice said again before the room was enveloped with silence. “Sit up if you are awake, explain yourself” Who? Was he talking to me? There was no way it is me. I stayed rooted to the bed, ceasing my breath in the process. “Did your hearing go deaf along with your reasoning Omega?” Oh my! He was talking to me. I turned on the bed slowly like a scared cat, I looked up, then sat up like he commanded. “Who are you?” I asked without thinking. “Why were you following me?” “Ah,” He gave a wicked laugh. “I think that's the least of your problems, Omega. I just saved your life. And you are coming with me” “With you? Where? Who the hell are you? And why are you talking to me like that?” I know that should not be my next question. That should not be my reasoning at all. Of course, if he is here he must be part of the weredragons. “Hmm, you are stubborn. I don't like stubborn girls” He commented, moving close to me. “Okay. Well, that works for me. I am very stubborn and this is just a little of what I am capable of doing. I am also very rebellious, I don't take to corrections and. . . And. . . ” I ran out of words to say. He looked too beautiful, a sin to human eyes, a man that can pass for a Greek god and still dwell inside a woman’s heart comfortably. And his physique. . . Oh goodness! Could make a powerful woman whimper. His soft lips. . . Was just the perfect shape. I longed to touch it. . . “Hmm,” I caught myself and moved farther up on the bed away from his sinful eyes. “Yes, that's it.” Maybe the few words will convince him to leave me alone. “Good, I guess it's only right I tame you,” He said, putting his hand on his beard and stroking it as if thinking of ways to do that to me. “Look, we can strike a deal” I started. “What deal could I possibly strike with you? I hear you don't have any land to your name, not even a family” Oh good! That's all he heard. I can work with that. “I know people like you. Obnoxious and very spoilt. You have lands and money to your name or even a family member promising you one when they die, but I hope you know that does not make a man, my friend. It has to be your heart first then the possessions you have. Now please run back to your little friends and leave me the heck alone. I am sure your prince will be waiting somewhere for you” He smiled, and that bothered me. It's painful that he feels so confident just like he was at the lake. “Tell me, let me hear your deal,” He said, giving me a little bit of hope. I must have hit the nail on its head. “Okay, so. . .” I stood up from the bed and walked to him. If he was a worker or a staff, it would be easy to intimidate him. I just need to say a few right words and we will be done here. “I will tell you all you need to know about this shitty place and its people. Maybe even something to hold against them. I am sure you all are tired of this stupid ritual and want out, and then you can help me escape. I will go with you, and just when we are far away from here. You can let me go” I finished, his facial expression was unreadable but I knew I was getting to him. “I still don't see how this benefits me” Stupid man. He was making this very difficult. “I will tell you secrets! I have learned a thing or two about how things run in here. You can use those secrets to get rid of this tradition and then you let me go, finally” “I need more than a thing or two little one” I was getting his attention. “Figure of speech my friend, figure of speech” He smiled again, but maybe this was his good smile. “Tell me this secret,” He said, biting onto my trap. “Not if you give me your word” “I give you my word” “Good, but after you have settled your own part of the deal,” I said, trying my luck once more. He laughed out loud, his laugh was rich and so powerful but all in all, never heard anything so sexy. “Little one, you are tempting fate so recklessly” “Oh, my goodness” A squeak sounded from behind us bursting the door open, Diana, and her family strolled in. The Alpha plastered a smile I have never seen before across his face. Without being told, I bowed my bead down and I expected the rude man to do the same but instead, they bowed to him. “My prince, we are really sorry for the inconvenience. Rooms are being prepared for you and your companions” My prince? The rude man is the dragon prince. And just then, this evil prince, after making me confess to telling him my pack’s secrets, looked at me in the face and smirked. I knew that if he spilled all my ranting, my past will be the least of my troubles. I was in deep sh!t!Rex’s POV “You were saying?” I continued, in respective of the uncomfortable feeling passing through in the air. “Are you stupid?” The Alpha’s daughter cautioned moving close to the Omega, “Did you just look into the eyes of the Dragon prince and talk back at him? How dare you?” I almost missed the action and if I had taken my eyes for more than a second she would have slapped the Omega across her face. I held Diana’s hand in place “What do you think you are doing?” I asked, irritation filled my mind. “I am trying to teach her a lesson. She just disrespected you” She replied in her defense. I was not sure what vexed me the most, whether it was the fact that she just attempted to slap my chosen mate in front of me or because she thought it was her right to defend me. “My prince, you are hurting me?” And I was not sure if I wanted to stop hurting her. “You just ridiculed me. Who are you to defend me?” My voice was stern. “She is my chosen one and you have just tried to
Frejya’s POV “Don’t be mindful of him girl, Drogo and Rex are like two peas in a pond. You would think he is married to his dragon. My name is Adam” He stretched his hands to me. “Cousin to the prince. I am sure you already know his name. And you are?” The dragon prince's cousin said behind my ear as we watched Rex walk away from the rest of us. The way he walked oozed royalty, like the ground he walked was grateful. “Frejya” I replied, stretching my hand to him. “Freya. . .” He fumbled with it for a minute and continued “I like the sound of your name. Please here” He gestured, directing me to the back of the truck. “You will be riding with the girls. I think that should put you in the midst of people you are familiar with” His cousin is nothing like him. At least this one treats me with courtesy. “Thank you” I muttered. Of course, he would take his werewolf seriously when they are indeed two peas in a pond. I have heard stories about Ravkans all my life. Although I had
Freyja’s POVI panicked when I heard those words come out of Adam’s mouth! “To meet the king and queen?” I panicked! I didn’t think I was ready. What would I do when I have finally been paraded as a prize that I am to the Dragon King and Queen? There won’t be a turning back. Once I'm in front of them, there won't be an excuse, everything will b sealed. Now was the time I had to get out of here. And even better that the Dragon prince was paying me no attention at all. “You know my people will be in awe to see their future Queen this beautiful! I hope they tell you this enough where you came from but you are by far the most beautiful female I have ever seen and trust me, I have seen many” Adam said as he placed himself beside me. Of course, I have heard that all my life, from the texture of my skin to my hourglass figure to my ocean blue eyes and my long white hair, but those are sometimes the origin of my pain. The girls don’t fail to hide the fact that they were jealous of me but at
Freyja’s POVAs I entered into the green maze, my heart raced with a mix of determination and uncertainty. Away from Adam's watchful eyes, my only goal was to find an exit from this place, far away from the walls of the palace. Only then would I be free of my pack, just as I become free from the dragons. To do that, I have to succeed without being caught. If not, it would only put me in more problems. The dragon prince had failed in his promise to help me escape from my pack, now I only have myself. I don't see why the Dragon Kingdom was any different. But of course, I couldn't hold any of this against him; I was a stranger in his world and he was a stranger in mine. My pace quickened as I ran through the maze, my senses alert to every twist and turn. Time was of the essence; I knew that soon Adam would discover my deception and come to find me. I wonder how he would react when he realized I had lied to him. The thought weighed heavy on my heart, considering his kindness to me. He
Rex’s POVWhat the heck happened back there? How did she manage to ride on Dorgo?That couldn't happen… It is stated, the only ones who can ride the dragons are the weredragons themselves! Especially when Drogo had never allowed any of my people to even ride her. Bewildered, I continued to wonder as we walked back to the palace.Despite my firm grip on her, she continued to struggle, trying to free herself from my hold. Still consumed by my thoughts, I tightened my grip on her, taking her along.There must be missing I'm something about her. There were no written or spoken words that showed Werewolves practicing witchcraft or any form of magic and I knew she wasn't demonic, not someone like her. But the fact that she rode on Dargo left me in doubt. She had rides Drogo without getting hurt. Tonight, after the introduction, I will make her spill the truth.“I've told you before, I can walk on my own! My legs aren't broken! Let me down!” She screamed in her loud-pitched voice, drawing m
Freyja's POVThe moment the arrogant Prince walked out, I heaved a sigh of relief. I was scared, I had thought he would scold me for riding his dragon, but he didn't. And with that out of the way, I have to think of how to survive in this strange kingdom.“Oh, my darling… I hope the Prince wasn't hard on you?“ The voice of the Queen snapped me out of my thoughts.I looked at her and lowered my head shyly. I was not sure how to act before this powerful woman."I knew it, but you know what? Don't put it in mind. He can be abrasive on the outside, it's all a facade… when you get to know him well, you will know that he is soft and considerate," the Queen added with a smile“Not at all, my Queen. He's been good to me," I responded with my head still bowed. "There you go. Do not cover up for him… I know how my son is," the deadpanned, lifting up my head."You shouldn't go around lowering your head, not when you are with family. You will be the next Queen of Ravkan. Chest out, shoulders hig
Freyja’s POV"After you, my Princess," Eva said, showing me in.Unsure of what was lurking ahead, I took baby steps, one step at a time. I cringed as the door closed behind us but I did not stop.We continued through the hallway until we burst into a room. My mouth dropped open and I gasped in awe.The room was well-illuminated. Its walls were high with beautiful paintings placed here and there.I dashed in, appreciating the view.“Is…is this all for me?“ I muttered in astonishment as I beheld different gowns and regalia hanging down from a cloth rack. There were shoe racks and a section of jewelry too.Eva cleared her throat noisily from behind, making me jump. I was lost in my perusal and I had forgotten that I wasn't alone."I am sorry my Princess, I didn't mean to…" Eva apologized but I interrupted her shaking my head."You did nothing wrong… I was carried away," I said, laughing awkwardly.“Very well then… let me lead you to your room." She stepped forward and bowed before me. H
Rex's POVI heaved a sigh as I stood in front of the whore's chamber, trying to relax before walking in. Frejya has made my day stressful and exhausting and this is all I needed now, a woman to bed to relieve my frustrations. I knew if my parents found out, they would be disappointed, but I didn't care. They can force me to marry a woman but can't control my life. Without hesitation, I pushed the heavy brass door open and I strode in."Your Highness! What are you doing here!?…" Lillian asked in surprise, bowing her head at the same time.I know she wasn't expecting to see me here since I have gotten to pick my mate. But surprisingly, here I am. "What should I do to honor this visit?" She asked, head still bowed. I scoffed and walked past her to get my seat in the middle of the chamber. Women are always determined to do whatever they desire especially when it would favor them.I sat down on the sofa and crossed my legs while glancing at her, thinking of what I would like to do wi
