Chapter 69
“Freya, Freya!” The voice sounded far away but I could swear that it was the 60th time the person was calling my name and all I wanted to do was scream.
I was currently in a magical world of food and fun and this person kept trying to pull me out of it and the thoughts that clouded my head was to scratch their eyes out with my claws. All I wanted was more sleep, how was that too much to ask for?
“Babe, come on you have to get up. We’ve got training today, remember?” Finally the voice sounded close enough and Greyson should be thankful that I was in love with him.
Or else his eyes would be missing. I finally flipped my eyes open and I groaned when the light that flooded the room, blinded me momentarily. Of course, the man had gone and opened the curtains.
I groaned once more burying my head into my pillow and pulling the sheets over it. All I needed was more sleep, I was finally able to sleep after a while and now I had to get up early. Why does bad things always happen to good people?
“Freya, I’m going to drag you with your legs to the bathroom if you don’t wake up.” Greyson threatened.
“Leave me alone!” I said, but he only chuckled like I had just said something funny.
“Come on babe. It’s 10am. We’re not going to get any work done if you don’t get up now.” Greyson said and at these words I peeked out of the sheets.
10am already? No wonder it was so bright.
After another good five minutes of Greyson trying to sweet talk me to get out of bed, I finally did and we both moved to the bathroom to take a shower.
“Seems like I knocked you out pretty good last night.” Greyson said with pride in his voice and I rolled my eyes at him.
“I’m not even going to justify that comment with an answer.” I responded and he laughed.
“It’s good to give credit sometimes babe.” I ignored him and walked back into the room and the huge closet that we now shared to begin dressing up.
Greyson had gone and gotten me a wardrobe full of clothes and no matter how much I protested the Alpha added more and more clothes and accessories to it every day. I was worried that we would be running out of storage space soon. Same with Jessy, the four years old now had enough clothes to open a business.
“Wear this.” Greyson said, pulling out a jeans from the drawer.
I did as told and slipped the jeans on, pairing it with a shirt he pulled out, before slipping on my sneakers. Greyson being the sweetest man helped with knotting my shoe lace and then with him dressed we both left the room.
Jessy’s laughter could be heard from the kitchen and so we headed in that direction.
“Daddy!” Jessy called out and I frowned.
“I entered the kitchen first, you couldn’t say hello to me first before him?” I asked and the little minx was shaking her head no before I could even finish my sentence.
“No mommy.” She said, moving to Greyson who lifted her up in his arms, placing a kiss on her head before throwing a smirk my way.
“Don’t be jealous mommy.” He moved hurriedly out of the room before I could respond and it was good for him too because I was about to hit him.
The sounds of their laughter echoing through the hallway made me smile widely.
“You look like you had a good night and you’re definitely looking less tired.” Christie commented and I nodded my head.
Turning away so she didn’t see the blush that was currently coating my cheeks. If only she knew how good of a night I had.
“You’re dressed. Are you going somewhere?”
“Yes, Greyson is going to train me.” I said, piling the plates into a tray.
“Sounds exciting. Why don’t you go join him in the dining room and I’ll bring the food to you both. Jessy ate already so you don’t have to worry about her.” Christie assured and I gave her a small grateful smile.
“Cause it’s a dinoso.” I heard Jessy’s voice as I walked into the dining area.
“So this dinosaur was the one talking to you?” Greyson asked and the hint of confusion in his voice made me laugh.
“Yes daddy.” Jessy said, nodding her head rapidly for emphasis.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Umm okay. So-so what did the dinosaur want?” Greyson asked turning to me for help.
“He want me daddy.” She said and I rolled my eyes.
“Are you sure it’s not the other way around babe? Are you sure it’s not you who wants a dinosaur?” I asked and Jessy shook her head no.
“Dinoso want me mommy.”
Thankfully Christie came in with our food and I had a great distraction so I left father and daughter to their conversation.
“Okay, maybe tomorrow we could go to the stores and try to find your dinosaur. Okay babe?” Greyson said and of course, Jessy nodded enthusiastically.
We began eating in silence, with Jessy sharing Greyson’s food and it wasn’t until a couple of minutes later before I was finally speaking again.
“I don’t want to leave her here alone while we’re out.”
That had been my fear since the previous night but I hadn’t had the time to process it well enough. There was no way my heart was going to be at rest if I didn’t know that Jessy was in safe hands and I let Greyson know as much.
“We won’t be leaving her here. Thankfully, Smith has the day off and has accepted to look after Jessy for the duration. I’m enrolling her in the pack’s school soon, so she can get to be with her mates and learn too, but for today Smith will be watching her.” Greyson explained and it felt like I could finally breathe in relief.
It was a half hour later that we were finally leaving the house, since Jessy had decided to mess up her dress and I had to change her into new ones.
The duo sang along to all the children songs that was played while I just enjoyed looking out of the window at the pack members going about their day.
Greyson’s pack was the most peaceful. He was the powerful Alpha King of course but I honestly thought that it went beyond that. Greyson did his best to attend to his people and was a very fair Alpha. He provided and protected them at all cost and it wasn’t hard to see why the people loved and respected him. Rightfully so too.
We pulled up at Smith’s home first and after a too long exchange of pleasantries and multiple kisses that Jessy insisted on giving us both, we finally made it to the training school.
“Alpha Greyson, it’s good to see you again. Been a while since you were here.” One of the men that had been training a set of young men before we walked in, spoke.
“I’ve been busy Tristan, but it’s good to know that I was missed. Is the back prepared?” Greyson asked and Tristan gave him a wide smile before nodding his head.
“It is.”
“Thank you. No disturbances please.” Greyson said and then taking my hands into his, he led us to the back.
“What are we going to be doing today?” I asked
“We’re just going to work on your endurance honey.”
Before I could respond to him, we reached our destination and the view amazed me. It reminded me of the fields that was now quite honestly one of my favorite places but only this time it was smaller and didn’t have the aesthetic of the bigger field. It was still quite beautiful and the greenery of the place made me happy.
“What are we doing first?”
“We? No, not we. You babe. You are going to take a lap round this field, while I stand here and cheer you on.” Greyson said and I began laughing.
“Wait, you’re serious?” I asked horrified.
“Of course I’m serious.”
“Greyson do you see the size of this field? I won’t be able to make it half way! I could die!” I said dramatically.
Although the field wasn’t as big as the one we had our picnic at. It was still quite large, especially if I was going to run around it. There was no way I could survive it.
“Well, good thing I’m always prepared for things like this. This bucket of water will do a good job of bringing you back to life, I promise.” There was a smirk on the Alpha’s lips that let me know that he was enjoying this moment a lot.
And with a dirty look sent his way, I began my run around the field. Quarter way through and I could feel myself begin to actually feel dizzy. I could hear Greyson’s cheers but it sounded like it was coming from very far away.
It didn’t even sound like we were in the same space at all. Black spots soon began to form in front of my eyes but I pushed through it. Even when I knew that Greyson would never judge me if I were to stop, I still felt like I was going to be disappointing him and that was the last thing I wanted.
I could hear the sound of my breathing in my ears and if felt like the fields were closing in on me. I didn’t stop though until I reached Greyson on the spot that I had taken off from.
“See! You did it! I’m so proud of you Freya. Yo- d-”
I could still hear Greyson speaking but I knew that I was slowly losing consciousness. I felt my body go lax against Greyson’s and the last thing I remembered seeing was the panicked look on his face before I was welcoming the black and everything was going quiet.
