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 slap her in front of me. It is not any of your business on how she chooses to speak to me. I decide” “My prince. Do not be enraged. Forgive my daughter. For I have taught her how to behave with the Ravkans prince. She must have misunderstood my meaning” “Jareth! Those are excuses. Explain to me why your daughter thought it was appropriate to hit a girl with no defense.” I released her arm with a little more force than I intended. “You don't have to defend me. I am used to this. Soon you will leave and I will remain with my people. Whatever happens, will not be your business. Don't put me in more trouble” I heard the omega talk behind me and her subtle emphasis on the word “people”. “Of course not Freyja. You are as special as everyone in the pack,” Diana interjected, it was obvious she was trying so hard to remedy her behavior but that pretentious behavior has no place in my understanding. I have learned all I need to know. Even though I have no use for the Omega, I won't leave her with these people. “You are coming with me. You are my possession now” I turned to face her, she was sad. Her eyes were sad and I just wanted to hold her until I have melted the pain away from her. “No, I am not” She declared confidently. I was not expecting her curt reply. “You are getting me irritated. I will bundle you out of here if needs be” I said to her and for a second I saw fear in her eyes. “Remember our deal?” She asked, her fear replaced with hope. Sometimes I just don't understand the way she thinks. “No” “Liar” “The only deal I remember making with you is getting you out of here. And that's what I am going to do” I said to her and faced Alpha Jareth “Do you have any interjection about my declaration” What I should have asked before now. After The choosing, there is a small acknowledgment confirming this is what both clans want and no rules have been broken in any way. “Yes, my prince. If your dragon has picked her then she is all yours. We have kept our code of the bargain, it's not the time for yours” The old man said. “Has there ever been a time when we didn't fulfill our own side of the bargain?” “No, my prince” “Good. then we are done here. “Come” I realized she was not following when I got to the door. She stood still just where I left her without moving an inch. “I don't want to waste any more time waiting here when there is obviously nothing wrong with you anymore” We will make the trip back tonight. Forgo will take us back, it will be faster that way. She nodded. Finally cooperating, I thought. “Good. We won’t be needing the rooms you have prepared. My people will be waiting for their new bride” I turned away from the room, leaving the alpha and his daughter in the room behind me, and at the corner of my eyes, I see her following me obediently. “We will soon be in your new home. You will see that it is a smooth and fast ride. You will not even have to worry about how long the journey will take” She nodded again, then asked “Bride? You mentioned it earlier” “Yes. Their bride. . . You!” “I thought you agreed to let me go. You just need to help me out of here and . . .” She paused, clearly devoid of everything she was going to say, but desperation in her voice. “. . .And you will tell me the secrets of your beloved people?” Damn! This is the longest I have had to talk or explain myself to any female that is not beneficial to me in any way but she was different. She is the only female who is not afraid to stand up to me and that intrigues me. “I think you fail to see there is nothing that I don’t already know. So if you want our deal still on, find something substantial that does not involve betraying your people” “You have no idea what you are talking about. These people betrayed me first. All that I have known, all that I have believed in. They hate me first. They treated me worse. You don’t understand a single thing” “I don't care what they did to you. We will be riding on my dragon. It is faster” Drogo and the Ravkans with their dragons waited for me to give the next instruction. I liked that we never perform any action separately whenever we are out and away from our land. One thing the werewolves lack. “You want me to ride on that beast? No!” That makes it the second time she is telling me an outright no, and I just wanted to strangle her. “I will go with the rest of the girls,” She said pointing at the truck carrying the girls. “No, you are not. You are going with me” I commanded, moving to hold her and force her to go with me. “Rex calm down, your bride isn't running anywhere. She will be safe with me. Take it easy and give her the time to get familiar with all this. And you are welcome to travel with us if you want. Drogo will be fine, you only need the mind link” “No, I will travel on my dragon. See that she is safe” I feel safer traveling with Drogo especially when she is the only one who understands the way I am feeling, and maybe I can understand why I am feeling the way I am feeling toward Freyja, the stubborn Omega. “I will, don't worry, I will deliver your bride perfectly to you,” He said and that's all I cares to hear before mounting Drogo. Whatever happens from here, I will gladly accept. Especially my flaunting feelings.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
Freyja’s POVI stood elegantly, dressed like a flawless queen, beautiful and stunning that I would not even find the words to explain if I was asked to. A delicate diamond crown graced my head as my long blonde hair was styled in a bun. What I was seeing was beyond amazement, and beyond my imagination. I couldn't believe the face I was seeing in the mirror reflection. Was this person me? Am I really this beautiful? I wondered as I sat there on the cushion with my hands resting on both sides of my lap. I was still speechless and unable to describe how I felt. "You look exclusively beautiful, your highness" Eva uttered behind me, which spanned me out of my thoughts. I turned to her."Don't you think this is too much?" I asked, lifting up my hand to touch the golden jewelry lying on my neck. The necklaces were up to five diamond crystal necklaces made of rare diamonds. Even during the process of dressing, I was against the diamond on my necklace, but Eva insisted that nothing was too m
