Reclaiming My Fated Alpha(Freya Series Book 5)

His sudden comment startled me, instantly making me ascend. My ashen gray wings fanned out, as I spun around to face him. I just caught a glimpse of Marik hopping backwards on one foot. When he spoke out, he was in the process of pulling his boxers off. I squealed at the sight, quickly trying to cover my eyes with my hands, and as I did, I pulled my wings in to wrap them around myself.

"Arrggghh shit!" Marik screamed out.

My new wings were a lot larger than I was used to and they'd clipped him, while I tried to use them as a shield. I instantly opened them up again, only to gasp as I saw Marik's sock-covered feet exit out of the window.

"Oh my God, Marik!"

I sprinted to the window and tried to grab his foot. With my extra speed, I did actually manage to grip ahold of his foot, but within seconds, all that was left in my hand was his crisp white sock. I turned away when I heard the thud of Marik's body hit the ground below us.

"I'm okay," he called up pretty quickly.

I placed my hands on the ledge of the window seal as I peered out, scared to look what mess he was in. I burst out laughing. I couldn't help it, the site that greeted me, was hilarious. He was sprawled out, face-first on the ground, with his bare ass completely on show, his boxers around his ankles and only one sock on. I quickly ducked back into the room when the pack ran out to check on him. I was laughing so hard that I collapsed to the floor.

"Well, that went well," Traian said sarcastically, making me laugh even harder.

I looked up at him with tears streaming down my face. He was sitting on the bed, with his head forward, pinching his nose. When he glanced over at me, he couldn't help but laugh along with me. I stood up as my giggles began to ease and made my way over to him. I descended and pushed gently on his shoulder, making him sit up straight. He moved back on the bed slightly, when I placed my knee beside his hip. I pulled up the other knee so I could straddle him.

Holding his face, I smashed my lips onto his, just like I had planned to do in the first place. His lips moved around mine like they had been kissing me for years. It was strange how perfect the kiss was. It was like he had anticipated my every move. I stopped kissing him and pulled away, and while staring into his confused eyes, I asked,

"Can you not do that?" He tilted his head slightly so I replied in my mind, “listen to my thoughts while we kiss. It's weird. You're not supposed to know what I'm going to do, until I do it.”

His lips curled into a smile, and as he leaned in for another kiss, I quickly shoved my hand in his face, smooshing his lips. I made sure I'd opened my fingers enough to avoid his nose. He peered through my fingers, and his shocked expression made me chuckle.

“Sorry, Tray, you killed the moment,” I thought to myself, thinking that he would be listening, but he didn't reply or react, he just sat there, face squished, peering at me through my fingers.

"So now you turn it off?" I said with an eye roll.

"Huh?" he replied.

I pulled myself up and got off of the bed. I heard him groan while I put on my underwear, a pair of black leggings, and a grey tank top. I glanced over at him before I left, and said,

"The moment is gone, maybe we can try this another time. I'll meet you downstairs once that's gone down," I pointed towards his erection.

He groaned again, picked up a pillow and pushed it into his face. I shook my head and left the room. I could hear him scream into the pillow as I walked down the stairs, and I couldn't help but laugh. I reached the bottom of the stairs and made my way into the living room. Marik was laying on the couch. I stared at him with an eyebrow raised and he just winked back at me with a cheeky grin. With a flush of my cheeks, I turned toward the glass doors and made my way outside. I could hear the pack hunting in the woods, but Savanah and Finn had stayed behind. They were sat on the loungers and had one empty between them.

"We saved you a seat. There's coffee here too, and some lunch," Savanah said without even turning around.

"Thank you, Savanah."

I sat down on the lounger and picked my coffee up from the floor. I glanced over at Finn and he instantly looked away.

"You need to look at me sometime, Finn," I snapped with an eye roll. I was fed up of him avoiding me, he needed to get over his damn self.

He sighed heavily, and to my surprise, rather than reply to me, he got up and strolled away. I turned my head to watch as he made his way into the cabin. Turning back around, I brought my cup to my lips and growled lightly into my coffee as I took a sip.

"Just give him some time Freya. He's struggling with your transition. He is worried that you're going to end up like Kali," Savanah explained in a calm voice.

I sighed gently while placing my coffee onto the floor.

"I'm not turning into Kali. I'll always be me, I'm sure of it."

"I know this, but he had to watch Kali kill his Fianna. That's a moment he can never un-see. Because you look very similar to your aunt, he's struggling the most with your change." She placed a reassuring hand on my arm and gave it a squeeze.

"I need to talk to Selene, have you seen her?" I asked as I leaned back on the lounger.

"Yeah, she shifted and ran off into the woods to join the hunt..."

She paused for a moment, stood up and edged toward the pool. I shot up when her head titled back and she let out an almighty shriek, sending a bright white beam into the sky as she levitated into the air.

"Savanah? What's wrong?" I screeched while running over to her. I grabbed her hand and quickly ducked as her wings flew out, completing her ascension. slowly spinning around to face me, she began to speak,

"The children. All those precious children. She can’t do it again..."

Her words were almost a cry, she had so much emotion in her voice. She gently placed her feet on the floor before putting her hands on either side of my head. I screamed out as visions of thousands of children flashed before my eyes. Each one tortured and tormented until they unleashed their powers. Tears began to stream down my face when I saw the children with weak powers being drained of their blood, then thrown to the floor like trash. I watched as a white-haired woman sank her teeth into another frightened child. When the child had become limp, she whipped her head back, making me inhale in shock. Selene dragged her arm across her face, wiping the poor child's blood from her lips, before dropping him to the floor.

When Savanah removed her hands from my head, I fell to my knees and sobbed. I was overcome with emotion. I could feel the pain and fear from every one of those children. I broke down into my hands, and all I wanted to do was curl up into a ball. Savanah crouched down, lifted my chin, and gazed into my eyes. With her bright white eyes staring into mine, a warm and calming feeling washed over me, and my tears began to dry. She smiled softly while she swept her thumb across my cheek, catching one of the last fallen tears.

"We need to save the children," she said in a voice I hadn't heard before, it was deeper than normal and it echoed slightly, like we were inside a bubble all of our own. Any other noise was gone, and all I could hear was her.

"How? That was such a long time ago, those children are long dead."

She floated her hands up to my temples again, making my head shoot back as new visions invaded my mind. I could see two young teens. A boy and a girl, around sixteen or seventeen years old. They were huddled together, crouched down behind a large rock. The boy had his arms wrapped around the girl, and one of his hands was placed over her mouth, clearly trying to stifle her screams. They looked petrified, and I could see exactly why. Approaching them was an enormous white Lycan, and it looked about ready to rip them apart.

When Savanah removed her hands, I fell forward, slamming my palms onto the ground. I inhaled deeply while my rage built, making my body shake with adrenaline. I clenched my fists and slammed them into the ground while letting out a ferocious growl.

"Go!" Savanah screamed out, and as soon as the words left her lips, I shifted and took off towards the woods. My speed hitting an all new level as my vampire abilities came into play.

Samael Wulf

I watched while my brothers formulated a plan to rescue Kali. They stood in front of the Overlook hotel. Ash was resting his arm around Andy's shoulder while he pointed towards an open window. Clutching onto the stake that I'd brought with me, my hand shook uncontrollably, as I silently edged towards my brothers. My heart was screaming at me to drop my stake and find another way, but my head knew, there was no other choice. If they rescued Kali, my secrets would be out. She'd stop at nothing to exact her revenge. I couldn't risk it, I'd finally got rid of the evil bitch from mine and my brood’s lives, there was no way I could let her poison seep back in.

With a deep breath and a tear rolling down my cheek, I clasped ahold of Andra's shoulder, and before he even had a chance to turn his head, I thrust my stake through his back. I yanked on his shoulder and plunged my stake deeper into his heart. His body instantly began turning to dust beneath my fingers, and as he hit the ground, he burst into a cloud of ash. As if in slow motion I turned and focused on Ashteroth’s snarling face, trying my best to ignore the tiny pieces of our brother that were floating all around us. With his brilliant white fangs glistening in the moonlight, Ash hurried towards me.

I reacted without a second thought, bringing my stake close to my chest, and aimed it right at his heart. As soon as my stake pierced through his skin, he came to a standstill. We stared into each other's eyes for what felt like an eternity. I watched as his snarling expression morphed into one of confusion and betrayal. For a split second, his face softened, and I could have sworn I saw acceptance in his eyes. His body then burst into fragments of dust, that were swept away with the cold night's breeze.

I jolted up in bed, gasping for air. Sweat dripped down my back as I tried to catch my breath by inhaling deeply, before closing my eyes and exhaling. I should be used to waking up like this by now, it’s been over two years since that night, I thought as I ran my hand down my clammy face. Throwing the covers off of me, I got out of bed and headed towards the bathroom for a much-needed shower. Once washed and dressed I made my way out of my room, down the corridor, and towards my office.

Every day felt like I was just going through the motions. The extreme pain, and overwhelming emptiness hit me all at once, then stayed with me all day. I had no idea if I’d ever get back to normal. Turning the handle, I pushed on the door and entered my office.

"Morning, Sam."

I froze on the spot, her words ringing in my ears. I didn't expect to see her, not here, not now.

"Selene, what the hell are you doing here? Is Freya okay?"

Freya Rose

My paws dug deep into the dirt while I sprinted as fast as I could towards the teenagers.

"Welcome back Mina," I greeted in my mind when I felt her trying to take over my wolf form.

"We haven't got time for pleasantries, Freya, I've got this. You gather the pack,” she yelled out in my mind, more dominant than I'd heard before.

There was no sense of sarcasm, and I could hear how panicked she was. Without even answering, I gave her control and began to mind link the pack.

"Listen up. This is an emergency. You need to meet me at the south side of the lake."

"Why? What's happened? I'm kinda busy, and..." Odin started to reply.

"Now!" I bellowed through my mind, and I'm sure I could feel his nerves all around me.

I didn't know if I'd imagined it, or if it was a new ability from the vampire senses. To be honest, at this point I was losing track of all the new abilities.

"It's an order Odin, do not disobey me. I don't care what you're doing. Right now, your Luna is telling you to get your ass to the south side of the lake, so you do it,” I demanded, pretty much screaming into my head.

"Yes, Luna, of course."

"Okay, now, I need all of you to shut Selene out, right now!"

I could hear muttering and whispers inside my mind, but after yelling at Odin, I knew that all of the others wouldn't dare question me. Well, almost all.

"Freya, what is this about?" A deep voice full of dominance boomed inside my mind.

"Traian, please trust me. I can explain everything, but not now."

Mina, sped up, darting in and out of the trees with ease. I knew we weren't far from the kids.

"Open your mind to me, I will see everything, you won't need to explain," Traian replied softly.

"How?"

"Just calm down, breathe, and think of me."
