Reclaiming My Fated Alpha(Freya Series Book 5)

“Hey little wolf,” he greeted me after the kiss.

When he stood back up, he looked at me, but I was still giving Traian the evil eye. By now it was more of a battle of the wills. He wanted to be the dominant force in this relationship, or whatever ‘this' was, and I wasn’t having any of it. Marik glanced over at his brother, then let out a little chuckle as he sat beside him. Traian huffed out of his nose at his brother, but he didn’t remove his glare from mine. Marik had clearly had enough of the tension, and when he slapped Traian on the back he said,

“So, why is there a dragon in the cabin?” Traian and I both shot our glances to Marik, making him squirm around in his seat as we stared at him. He rubbed the back of his neck, while his eyes flitted between mine and Traian’s. “What? What did I say? Was it a secret or something?”

“How do you know he’s a dragon?” I asked him outright, not bothering to wait for Traian to speak up.

“I can smell him a mile off. They are extremely rare, but I have met one who turned into an actual dragon. It’s a very distinctive smell,” he replied, then after screwing his face up in disgust, he continued, “yeah, it’s like a burnt lizard shit, kinda smell. And don’t bother asking me how I know what that smells like, I’ve had a pretty wild life.”

“He means literally living out in the wild, not like partying wild,” Traian added with a smirk.

Marik just shrugged as if to say, ‘yeah and?’ I couldn’t be bothered to get into the sibling rivalry bullshit. I needed to know more about this dragon boy, and work out if he was a threat.

“Tell me everything you know about dragons,” my voice was a little snappier than I’d intended, but I didn’t care, I was worried.

Marik raised an eyebrow then nodded his head.

“Okay, so here is what I know. They shift just like we do, but into much larger beasts. They shift into dragons.”

Savanah gasped before grabbing my head in both hands.

“I was trying to make sense of this for weeks.”

“Make sense of what?” I asked, but didn’t get a verbal reply.

I screamed out in agony as she thrust her visions into my mind. She didn’t bother to push gently against my thoughts, she just ripped her way through them like a wolf’s claws tearing through flesh. She showed me the vision that she drew back at the hunter’s mansion. There I was on top of a cliff like before, but this time, instead of Tristan, Mason, and Samael standing beside me, they we now behind me, and Traian and Marik were beside me.

Bellow us were masses upon masses of the supernatural community. They were all cheering and chanting my name. It felt amazing to see everyone together. Just when I thought the vision was going to finish a monstrous shriek filled my brain. I watched in awe as a giant ashen grey dragon flew above us on the cliff. He circled around, then landed next to me. The vision ended with the dragon lowering its head, and me petting it.

“Now it makes perfect sense. I didn’t believe they were real, so the vision threw me.”

Savanah took her hands away from my face and sat back on the lounger.

“So, you mean to tell me, that I currently have an unstable boy upstairs in my room, who can shift into a gigantic dragon at any moment?” I asked Marik in a sarcastic tone.

“No, don’t panic. Very few of them can actually shift. They need enough flame power to awaken the ancient curse,” he replied casually.

“Wait, so Gideon's a dragon too, right?” He nodded in reply. “So, what the fuck was your mother playing at, bringing him here to help me?” I shot up to my feet in a rage. “She basically dangled pure power in front of him, and expected him not to take it? Or was she hoping he did, so I wouldn’t be more powerful than her? Did she make a deal with him?” I paced back and forth asking the questions out loud, but not actually asking anyone but myself. I was trying to figure it all out.

“Calm down little Rose,” Traian said calmly while standing and gently grabbing my arms.

“No! I need to speak to her. I don’t trust her as far as I can throw her. She’s unstable and frankly, a liability. I can’t keep watching over my shoulder, wondering what she’s going to do next, or whether or not she’s on my side.”

“What are you saying, Freya?” Traian asked me with his brows furrowed.

“I want Selene gone. I don’t care where she goes, as long as it’s far away from me.”

Samael Wulf

“Freya? That bitch...” Selene hissed.

Without thinking I rushed her, grabbing her by the throat and smashing her into the wall. With her pinned to the wall with one hand, I pointed my finger into her face with the other. With gritted teeth I hissed into her face,

“Don’t you ever call her that. You hear me?”

“B... But, Sam...” She gasped out.

I suddenly let her go when I realized that she couldn’t breathe. She fell to the floor, clutching at her throat while she struggled to catch her breath. Usually, she’d have been able to throw me off of her with ease, but she couldn’t. She was weak.

“What’s happened to you? Why are you so weak?”

I walked away while I waited for her to answer. Opening up the drawer I took out a pair of boxers and pulled them on underneath my towel. Once on, I whipped the towel off and threw it into the washing bin. Opening up the drawers again, I took out some sweat pants and a t-shirt and got dressed. In the time it took me to do all that, Selene had only just dragged herself off of the floor. I had never seen her like that, it was a shock to say the least.

“I’m going to get some breakfast. You coming?” I asked her, but not really giving her an option as I left the room before she answered.

I could hear her coughing and spluttering behind me. I should have felt bad that I’d caused it, but cussing out Freya like that, was never going to end well. She knew how much I loved Freya, so she should have guessed that I’d react like that. I made my way to the kitchen with a wheezing Selene following closely behind. I opened up the kitchen cupboard and got two glasses out. I held one under the giant coffee machine and pressed the button. Out came thick warm blood. I filled the other glass up and took them over to Selene who'd sat herself down at the dining table.

“That’s a useful contraption. I might need to get me one of those,” Selene said with a chuckle, trying to lighten the mood.

I handed her a glass and watched as she gulped the crimson liquid down, not even bothering to stop for breath. When she’d finished, she gasped in some air, then wiped her mouth with her sleeve. I handed her my drink too, then sat down. She gulped that one down too, before slamming the empty glass down onto the table. She then sat back, clearly full.

“Better?”

“Yes. Thank you, I haven’t eaten in days. It’s been so long since I’ve had to hunt. You might say, I’m a little rusty,” she explained with an awkward chuckle.

“Since when do you have to hunt for your food? You usually just use your powers to calm someone, then feed,” I asked, not understanding anything that was going on.

“Since that bitch Frey...”

“Enough!” I bellowed, slamming my fist onto the table. She jumped back in her seat with a frightened hiss. “You can tell me your story without insulting my love. One more comment like that, and I’ll have my brood throw you out. Understand?” She rolled her eyes, but nodded her head in agreement. “Good. Now you may continue.”

“Well, Freya managed to find a way to take all of my powers. I’m going to need your help until I get my powers back. You owe me Samael.”

I stood up and replied,

“Sorry, Selene. I won’t help you. I won’t go against Freya, again.” With that said, I continued to stroll out of the dining room. “You can see yourself out.”

“You will help me Samael. You wouldn’t even remember who the fuck Freya was, if it wasn’t for me, and that!” She ran out in front of me and pulled my t-shirt collar down and pointed her shaky finger at my shoulder.

I looked down at my angel mark before scowling back at her. I pulled my t-shirt back up, then walked towards the front door, my plan was to throw her ass out myself. “Fine, if that’s not reason enough to owe me. Then how about I tell your brood what happened to your brothers and Kali?” She whispered.

Rage built up inside me instantly. I spun around grabbing her by the throat and lifted her into the air. I snarled up at her, and although she couldn’t breathe, she grinned sadistically down at me. My head spun around when I heard footsteps upstairs, so I quickly opened the office door and threw Selene inside. She slid along the floor and slammed into the desk.

“Tell me what you know,” I demanded.

Pulling herself off the floor she replied,

“Everything!” She snapped then walked around the desk and sat in my chair. “I’m still your lines sire, remember? I can access your thoughts. Especially when you’re dreaming and forget to lock me out.”

I sighed with agitation while taking a seat on the couch.

“What do you want Selene?”

“Freya’s head on a spike!”

Freya Rose

I’d had a meeting with the twins, Finn, Savanah, and the witch teens. I needed to work out what to do with Selene. She needed to be out of my life for a while, but I was worried if I cut her loose, that she would continue to hunt witch and warlock kids. I needed ideas and fast. We all drove out to a secluded location, far enough away from the cabin. I had the rest of the pack keeping guard of Selene and Gideon. I hadn’t told them anything. I didn’t need Selene fishing it out of their heads, then tricking them into letting her escape. The twins fed her some more sleeping meds, and we hoped they would last long enough.

The cars pulled up into a clearing and we all got out. I found a fallen tree and sat down. The witch teens sat on the floor in front of me, Savanah next to me, with Finn and the twins stood behind the witches.

“Why are we out here?” Draco asked with agitation.

I could tell it was more nerves than anything else, he was just trying to cover it up.

“I need a way to get rid of Selene,” I replied.

“Like, kill her?” Lorena asked with more hope in her voice than the twins liked.

Marik growled at her, making her duck down in fear. Draco stood up ready to challenge Marik. I didn’t know what he thought he’d achieve, Marik would have snapped his neck in seconds.

“Stop. Sit down!” I screamed at them.

Marik gave me a confused look and placed his finger on his chest, silently asking me if I meant him too.

“Yes. All of you. Sit.” The twins and Finn looked at me like I was insane. But I was fed up of all of them acting like fucking children. This was a serious situation, and I needed to take complete control. “Now!”

They all jumped at my bellowing voice and did as they were told. The grown men looked ridiculous trying to get comfy on the dirt, and it was difficult to keep the grin from my face, especially when Finnley lifted his ass to pull a stick out from underneath him. I found it amusingly fitting, and by Mina's chuckles in my head, and Savanah's giggles beside me, I wasn’t the only one that thought he had a stick up his ass.

“No, I don’t want her dead. She is the mother of us all, I have no idea what would happen to us all if she was killed.” The twins shot me daggers for even thinking of ending their mother’s life. I rolled my eyes and continued, “and I still love her regardless of what she’s done. Although, with Azael, Kali and Gideon to deal with, I really don’t have the time or energy to keep an eye on an unstable, murderous, Moon Goddess.”

Traian and Marik both nodded their heads in agreement. Although they loved their mother, they didn’t particularly have a close relationship. It was more the bond that tied them together, and once we went ahead with our mating bond, they would soon grow even more distant.
