Chapter 46
A fu****g good sleep. I searched for Freya beside me, but she wasn’t there. I looked at the part where she was supposed to be sleeping and found it empty. Oh, right. I just slept this morning after we made love. A smile curled onto my lips because I remembered what she told me before I got into my slumber. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. Everything was dry, so I thought it was already noon, time for lunch, and Freya would be back from training soon.
I rushed to my bathroom and got myself ready for the day. I had to talk to Dad; Mr. and Mrs. Collins will be there too because I told them that they would be called to King’s office at noon. It would be good if Freya was there too. Oh, I could still smell her on me, and I liked it. I went out of the bathroom after I was done and got dressed before I walked out of our bedroom and went to see Dad.
“Camila, where’s Freya?” I asked when I saw her coming out of my dad’s office.
“She’s inside Your Highness,” she replied, and I nodded, so I got in after I knocked and was permitted to enter. Freya was sitting on the couch with her parents.
“You haven’t cleaned yourself yet,” I said when I sat beside her and kissed her. “Dad, let her freshen up first.”
“That’s what we have been telling her, son,” he replied, so I looked at her, and she was smiling.
“Go, baby. You are important in this conversation, so we won’t leave you behind,” I said, and she stood up. I shook my head before I mind-linked the kitchen to prepare something for us for lunch. “Let’s have our meal here, dad,” I said, and he nodded.
“I already mind-linked Calvin, James, and Rapha. They will be here soon,” he said. I looked at Freya’s parents and greeted them. They are now my parents too, so I had to show respect to them even if it had to be the other way around. “What made you wake up this late?” the king asked.
“I just got to sleep this morning. I watched my mate in her sleep.” I replied,
“Is she dreaming?” Rica asked.
“Does it happen at your home too?” I asked,
“The whole time she was with us, at least once a year, she had nightmares. But I don’t think that’s the case.”
“What do you mean?” Dad asked this time.
“We think that it was one of her memories. It haunts her, so she won’t forget.”Lucas replied,
“I think it was one of her memories too. The moment she woke up, she also forgot about it, but the feeling was still there.” I told them,
“Maybe she was trying to forget them herself.” It was Dad, so we looked at him and said, “It may be too painful for her. That’s why she tries to forget about it, but the incident keeps on reminding her, and she tries to let her know about her past.”
“She shouldn’t try to forget it, so we will be able to know the truth behind the slaughter in her entire pack.” I looked at Lucas curiously. “She’s the daughter of Alpha and Luna of the Howlers Pack,” she added. I was thinking that it was her scent that I had smelled years ago.
“She had the same scent that I smelled before, Dad. No, let me change that; it was her. I’m sure of it now.” I informed them before someone knocked and got in. Dad motioned for them to get it down.
“Now, Matteo, what is this about the scent?” Dad asked again, “She’s the woman I smelled years ago,” I told them,
“Who?” Calvin asked as James and Rapha had a confused looks on their faces as well. “Freya, she’s the mate that I scented nine years ago,” I repeated.
“How can it be possible? How could she be here at that time?” He asked again. ,
“She’s from the Howlers Pack,” I answered, and then I told them what my mate told me when I saw her outside the receiving room last night.
“If she was indeed a child at that time, then she would not have been allowed to get in there. But why did no one tell us about them visiting?” Rapha said,
“So I won’t be able to find my mate,” I told them, and they were all silent. “Let’s not inform Freya about this yet. I am worried that she will try to regain her memory. I saw her have that dream every night, and you don’t know what she looks like. It breaks my heart that I didn’t sleep at all so I could look out for her when she started to have that dream.” I added.
“Are you sure about that, son?” Dad asked, and I nodded. It would be better this way. I am sure that she will force herself to remember, so we will be able to find out who her parents talked with when they visited the pack.
“I was worried that whoever he was who had talked to her parents would find out about her and do something to harm her,” I told them, and they all nodded. “I want us to focus on finding out the one behind the slaughter of the Howler Pack and the one that the Alpha and Luna talked with, here in the palace.”
“It would be easier if the princess would remember everything; she would be able to tell us what we needed to know to get the result as soon as possible,” James replied. “But I understand that it was hard for her and you, so all we needed to do was protect her while she was in the process of remembering her past,” he added.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“By the way, you still haven’t smelled her, right?” I asked, and they all shook their heads, so I sighed in relief.
“Why?” Rica asked.
“If the one who saw them here before remembered her scent, then that may cause her harm. It’s a good thing that I was the only one who could smell her at the moment.” I answered, “Train Clay and Alec; I want them to look after Freya.” I told my friends.
“Are you sure about that?” Calvin asked,
“I am confident that…” I was about to answer, but we heard a knock, and Freya emerged, smiling. I smiled at her and motioned for her to sit beside me.
“What are you discussing?” she asked.
“I was telling Calvin and James to start training Clay and Alec. I want them to look after you.” “Are you sure about that?” she asked with a creased forehead, and Calvin laughed.
“Is there something funny?” I asked and saw Dad and Rapha staring at me while James was grinning.
“You are super jealous over a little thing, and you know Clay was, you know, but you still want him to train and protect me?” It was Freya. She looked really confused.
“I am confident that you only want me, baby,” I replied, and she rolled her eyes at me, which made everyone laugh.
“Why do I have a feeling that something was going on and I was not allowed to know?” she asked. She’s sharp; is there anything that I can’t hide from her?
