“Are you alright?” Christie’s voice came pierced through my thinking and brought me back to reality. I offered the maid a small smile and picked up the knife that I had dropped previously to press the back of my palms to my head when it had begun to throb. “Of course, why?” I replied, trying my best to sound as cheerful as possible, but I could see I had overdone it from the way the maids face furrowed even more in suspicion. “Well I understand it’s been really hard for you recently and all, I just think you’re becoming a different person. You’re a lot more quiet nowadays and you’re always thinking. I mean I understand that everything that has happened has definitely really hit you hard but it feels even worse now, you know.” When Christie stopped talking, I paused for a couple of seconds to take in her words. I knew for a fact that I changed since after the incident, but I didn’t think that I had changed even more recently. “I-I’m sorry. I know it’s not my place. I just want you
Greyson’s POV: I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe any of it, where did I go wrong? How was I the bad person for looking out for her and making sure she was okay? I almost lost her a month ago! I had been stuck here praying to the Goddess every night, hoping that she was alive and I was the most lucky man on earth because I had almost lost her, in fact I did but through some miracle, I have her with me again and she wanted me to take risks with her safety? How did she not understand that there was no way I could live without her? If anything ever happened to Freya, I wouldn’t survive it. She needed to know it. Once the initial shock from her slamming the door in my face faded away, I pulled open the door and stepped into the night air. Freya’s scent lingered in the air and I followed it until I could see her walking just ahead of me.I didn’t try to catch up to her or try to talk to her anymore. In fact, I maintained a good distance between us and just walked behind her, ma
There was no reason for me to be crying I was after all the one putting an end to it all but as I said those words I couldn’t help the stream of tears that fell down my face. “No, no Freya. You can’t. We are a family! I love you, and you said you love me too.” “I do, I really do. I just don’t think things are working out the way they should and the way they used to, maybe it’s a sign. You had a mate and maybe she’s supposed to be your one and only.”“If that was meant to be then she would be here with me right now. But she’s not. You can’t just leave, what I’m I supposed to do without you? What are we going to tell Jessy and then Simon?” I had never seen Greyson cry like the way he currently was doing ever before. It was so saddening to see the strongest man I knew cry as much. I wanted things to go back to normal, I wanted to be wrapped up in his arms back in our room, just discussing all the meaningless things the world had to offer. There was a hole in my chest every time I tho
I couldn’t believe how good I felt. My body felt like it was lit on fire, the good kind of fire and I felt energized from the inside. It was the best feeling in the world. Even with my eyes closed I could hear the birds singing outside, I could hear the pans and pots from Christie’s cooking downstairs and for the first time in a month I didn’t feel the overwhelming need to go and join her just so I could be relevant.I didn’t feel like I was failing my family by laying in bed and not making them breakfast. I turned around in bed and the space beside me was empty, when I reached to feel the sheets it was cold, a sign that Greyson had been out of bed for a while now. My hand reached something and when I held on to it, I realized it was a piece of paper. I opened it and when I found the messy scrawl that was Greyson’s handwriting within, a smile spread across my face. Hi Beautiful, Your idiotic brother forced me out of bed very early this morning, I wanted to let you know I was leavi
Greyson’s POV: The paper in front of me was starting to blur out and I shook my head gently hoping it would start to make sense again soon. It was past dinner time and I couldn’t even make it to dinner thanks to the papers in front of me. The feast of Alphas was coming up again and this time I was the host. It had been a long time since I had to host an event such as this one and maybe I had kind of forgotten the work that comes with it. Everywhere was buzzing with preparations and as the event drawer even closer, I could feel the anticipation build even higher. Then there was this other thing that I had planned, that involved myself and my mate. I was trying to get it done before the feast of Alphas but I also didn’t want anything overshadowing it. A knock came on my door but before I could respond to it the door was pushed open to reveal Smith. It felt like the Goddess sent him to me in this moment because what I needed in this very moment was someone to talk to and maybe a lit
I was pretty sure this food tasted a lot better than it did last night even when it was the same recipe and ingredients, but somehow my tongue was watering for it. The scent was heavenly and so was the taste and I hummed with joy as I stuffed my mouth full. “Wow Freya I didn’t know you were that hungry.” Christie commented but I ignored her. The food was a lot more important to me at this point. “I just hope Master doesn’t think I don’t feed you with the way you’re practically inhaling that food. It’s just 11am and that’s your third meal.” She said again and I paused in my eating. “Aargghh since I can’t eat peacefully here, I’m going somewhere else.” I said irritated by the fact that she wouldn’t stop talking and just allow me enjoy my meal in peace. “Freya, I didn’t mean to offend you, I just wanted to be sure you’re fine.” I was already half way through the door with my plate in my hands before she could complete her sentence. I made my way to Greyson’s office, I didn’t want t
Greyson’s POV: I watched with excitement and nervousness as Clara rubbed the gel onto Freya’s stomach. It was too surreal. This had been the last thing that I expected. Freya pregnant again. After Clara had delivered the news that Freya had lost her womb as a result of the stabbing she suffered, I had truly believed that it was the end and there would be no hope of us having a child ever again. It had been very traumatic and heartbreaking to come to terms with it but I knew that Freya was feeling even worse about the news so I knew that I had to make it better for her. I had to constantly reassure her and make sure her mind didn’t dwell on that topic for too long. “Well it is amazing. There you have it, two very healthy looking fetus.” Clara said, pointing to the screen and I could hear the shock in the healers voice. This was a miracle, there was honestly no other explanation to it. “That’s it for now.” Clara said again, passing Freya a rag to wipe her tummy with. “Everything
I knew how devilishly handsome Greyson was, what I did not know was how that tripled when he wore a suit. I could feel my mouth water just at the sight of him and for a second the thought of canceling the entire date and just ripping the suit material off him and diving straight to the bed ran through my mind. His hair had been styled to perfection and even his moustache that I loved the most about him had been shaped. Everything about his look made him more and more desirable to me. I had seen Greyson in different formal wears before. But it had always been a shirt and pant at the most. This suit was definitely a first for me and it felt like I needed all night to just drool over how good he looked. My mate looked so regal, like royalty itself. He looked every bit the king that he was. I could feel the power coming off him in waves and it was almost as if those waves were sent straight into my body. “The scent of your arousal is probably reaching the living area right now honey.”

Go check out ‘Alpha Arthur’s Hated Mate.’ Add it to your library so you get the updates when they drop and leave me your comme
“Happy birthday daddy. It’s your birthday daddy! Wake up! I made you a drawing.” Jessy’s voice woke both Greyson and Freya with the latter turning around and going right back to sleep. Her due date was really close and the bigger the twins got the more tired she became and so it wasn’t unusual that even with Jessy’s little screaming voice, Freya would still be able to go back to sleep. “Thank you honey. Come here, let’s not wake mommy up okay. Is that for me?” Greyson asked his four years old and she nodded enthusiastically. “It’s so beautiful. Thank you baby.” The Alpha said running his fingers through the drawing of their little family. The image of Freya with a protruding stomach was comical and it made Greyson laugh quietly but he could also note how much his child had improved. Drawing always was something she enjoyed a lot and watching her get better and better with it was amazing. “That one looks nothing like me Jess.” Freya said with a small laugh and Jessy giggled along
The evening air was wonderful and was the perfect thing I needed. I came out earlier to sit in the garden and read a book and although I already lost interest in the book,i still sat outside and held the book open in front of me. I rubbed my stomach gently hoping to ease the pressure on my bladder. I was very comfortable where I was sat and the last thing I wanted was to have to move inside to pee and then come out again. I could feel myself get bigger and heavier by the day and although I loved being pregnant, I hated the fact that my body was changing a lot. Being pregnant with Jessy was very different from my current pregnancy. Maybe because I still had to work till the very day I pushed my child out, or maybe because I knew that the only person I had was myself and I had to constantly stand up for myself and be there for myself. It was a different story altogether now. I had the best life. I had Greyson, Smith, Clara, Christie, Michelle and even Jessy looking out for me now. I
Greyson’s POV: “What just happened?” Freya finally asked with a shaky voice and I raised my head to address my mate. Sighing in relief when the hate that had resided in my heart against her over the last couple of days was nowhere to be found. I beckoned Freya closer to me with a finger, still unable to use my voice due to the dryness that had settled in my throat. I could see the hesitation in her features and it hurt me more than anything in the world that she doubted if I meant it or not. “I’m sorry.” I said to her and I watched as her features softened, she looked at my face, before looking down at the body at her feet. Then going around it to reach me on the bed. Once she was within grasp, I reached forward to pull her into my arms in a hug, melting into it and taking a big sniff of her scent that I had missed very much. “I’m so sorry.” I said again“It was the only way, if I had not done it she would have only taken control of my mind faster.” “I have no idea what you’re
Greyson’s POV:The sigh that escaped from my lips was only proof of how heavenly Estel’s lips felt on mine. It was soft and she tasted very sweet causing me to melt into the kiss even more. If her lips felt this good and tasted this delicious then I badly wanted to know what the rest of her body tasted like, especially down there. I moved my fingers carefully and subtly towards the bottom half of her body, doing my best to not break the kiss. Just before I could reach her thighs, she held out her hand to stop me, breaking the kiss and letting out a chuckle. The sound was beautiful, just like I remembered it, but it had a mocking undertone to it, there was a slight sneer to it but I ignored it. “Honey, I hear your mind even before you do. I know your every move now, so don’t go thinking you can sneak up on me. Relax baby, I’ll take care of you.” Estel whispered to me and the drop of her tone as she said the last sentence made me shudder in delight. My head turned towards hers, eye
11:56pmAlmost midnight and still no signs of Greyson. I had heard him when he had come out of his office and had walked in the direction of the guest room but a very small part of me strongly believed that he would come back tonight. Three days of hopeless belief and he was yet to come back to bed with me. A tear slipped down my eyes and after that single tear came a lot more. I was pregnant and abandoned. Once again. Was my fate really so cruel for this to keep happening to me all the time? How much more could one person take? Why was love never simple? Why was it never enough? I sobbed hard into my pillow, feeling every bit miserable and pathetic. I had thought the auction was the worst thing that could have ever happened to me, the disgusting short man that had place one of the highest bid on me had irritated and annoyed me at the point but now I couldn’t help but wonder if maybe my life would have turned out differently, maybe a little happier with less drama if he had been
“I’m just saying that I think it might be rude if we invite certain Alphas and don’t invite certain. There could be a mini war for that in fact. It is after all the feast of Alphas, so all Alphas should be invited.” Smith said and I blinked at the end of his words. At this point, even screaming wouldn’t be enough to convey my frustrations and anger. I had woken up restless and tired and it felt like as the day went on, the more tired and restless I became.I couldn’t focus on anything. Not my work, or trying to make sense of what had happened the previous night, not even the meeting with Smith seemed to be able to get me to concentrate. “I’ve been trying to convince myself that somehow you’re listening to me but at this point I don’t think I can continue to do that successfully. It’s obvious you’re not listening to me and that your mind is filled with something else.” Smith said with a frustrated sigh in his words. I rubbed my temples, hoping to chase away the throb that had began
Honestly wish I could tell what had disturbed my sleep and woken me up prematurely but in the next five minutes after waking up, I still couldn’t figure it out and when I flipped my eyes open to find the room bright and all the lights still turned on, I squinted in confusion. There was something off this morning. I looked to the bedside clock on the nightstand opposite me and when the blinking red numbers flashed 5:13am, I gasped in surprise. I was never awake this early, but most importantly, Greyson was never awake this early too and from the feeling of the sheets in his side of the bed, I could tell that he had not even slept in bed with me at all the previous night. It was so shocking to me, I felt dazed, confused and pain from my bladder truly reminded me of why I had awoken in the first place. I needed to pee. I moved out of the bed, supporting my big and rounded stomach as I waddle towards the toilet. I let out a sigh of relief as my full bladder slowly emptied but my init
Greyson’s POV:I searched around in the crowd for Simon because I could see how Freya was starting to get unsettled from the absence of the boy. It looked like he was nowhere around and I was just about to move from my seat to properly search for him when a familiar mop of raven hair caught my attention. Emilia. And cuddled up in her arms was Simon. The two didn’t look like they were having any conversation. They just looked to be enjoying each others company. It was such a beautiful sight and I just stared at them for a full minute. The paranoia eased a little from my mind knowing the boy was safe. The last thing I wanted was for the tiniest thing to go wrong, I wanted this to go as easily and as smoothly as possible for all of us. It was the least we deserved.I take a sweep of the crowd once more with my heart pounding heavily in my chest, almost as if it knew that something was about to go wrong. There was nothing out of place. Everyone seemed to be in high, merry spirits and i
