The Omega For Sale

Greyson’s POV:

The paper in front of me was starting to blur out and I shook my head gently hoping it would start to make sense again soon. It was past dinner time and I couldn’t even make it to dinner thanks to the papers in front of me.

The feast of Alphas was coming up again and this time I was the host. It had been a long time since I had to host an event such as this one and maybe I had kind of forgotten the work that comes with it.

Everywhere was buzzing with preparations and as the event drew even closer, I could feel the anticipation build even higher.

Then there was this other thing that I had planned, that involved myself and my mate. I was trying to get it done before the feast of Alphas but I also didn’t want anything overshadowing it.

A knock came on my door but before I could respond to it the door was pushed open to reveal Smith. It felt like the Goddess sent him to me in this moment because what I needed in this very moment was someone to talk to and maybe a little advice.

“Hey, heard you were still working in the office.” He said moving fully into the office and settling into the space in front of me.

“It’s pretty late Smith, why are you not home?”

“Wanted to talk to you about some concerns.” He responded and the seriousness in his tone makes me drop the paper in my hands and give him my full attention.

“What is it?”

“It’s the feast coming up. I was passing through town today and a couple of discussions caught my attention.” Smith delivered.

I furrowed my brows in confusion. It wasn’t unusual to catch one or two people discussing about something they were not supposed to be discussing about and it was usually about themselves or their group of friends but for Smith to be concerned meant it was something more.

“What are you talking about?”

“It’s just something about your mate.”

My mate? Asides from the people around us, no one else really knew that Freya was my second chance mate which brought me to the topic that I needed to discuss with Smith.

“You know, i was going to text you once I was done with working tonight because I wanted to discuss about Freya with you. With the feast coming up, I was contemplating announcing Freya as Luna before the feast but the last thing I want is preparations for this feast overshadowing something as important as that.

It’s only going to happen once and I want it to be memorable especially for Freya, so I was going to ask you for some advice, I wonder how word about Freya being my mate could have gotten out. That’s not something a lot of people know.”

Smith sighed heavily, before rubbing his temples. His actions bothered me and I was itching to find out the problem.

“I’m not talking about Freya, I’m talking about Estel.”

It felt like my heart stopped beating the moment the words were out of his mouth. There was just no way that this was real. Asides from the fact that Estel was dead, had been dead for almost five years, not a lot of people even knew her as my mate.

We spent the shortest time with each other and I didn’t even get the chance to announce her as Luna before tragedy struck us. So how was any of this even possible?

“How would anyone know Estel? And why would they be talking about her? She is dead so what is this conversation about?” I said, agitated.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Maybe I should have listened to Freya when she spoke about my former mate instead of trying to convince her that it was all in her mind. We have been through enough already and the last thing I wanted was anymore drama.

The last couple of weeks have been filled with the sweetest things for my family, we were starting to settle down completely and it had all been going beautifully so far. I didn’t need this rumor or whatever was lurking in the corner to happen to us.

I just wanted to attend to my pack needs together with my mate, love my kids beyond all things and just live happily that’s not too much to ask right?

“I’m still trying to figure it out myself. Maybe get someone that i trust to help with getting more information but I just thought to let you know this as soon as I heard it. These are dangerous topics and they need to be addressed before they become something else.”

“Thank you Smith. Let’s hope this doesn’t affect anything. I think I might have to start preparations for the Luna ceremony immediately and find a way to fit it into all of this regardless of the feast.”

“That sounds like a great idea. Let me know if you need anything else. How is the feast planning coming? I can see your already stressed and we’re not even half way through.” Smith said, his tone switching to a lighter one which made me laugh.

“We’ll push through eventually.”

We talked about a couple of other matters regarding the pack and after a while Smith left the office and headed for his home.

This was enough working for me already and I retired to bed.

I pushed open the bedroom door slowly, afraid that I might wake up a sleeping Freya.

What I did not expect was to find my mate wide awake on the bed munching on some snacks. I furrowed my brows in thoughts, did she not just have dinner an hour ago?

“Hey baby.” I greeted, moving closer to her to place a kiss on her head.

“Hi.” She responded, offering me a large smile. I returned her smile but the one thing I was struggling to understand was why she looked so happy and active at the time of the night.

“Are you hungry?” I asked her and she nodded her head quickly.

“Yes, I couldn’t sleep because my tummy wouldn’t stop rumbling.”

“Oh, do you want me to cook you something?”

“No, it’s fine. You’ve had a busy day. I left some dinner for you and I’ll just heat it up while you freshen up.” She offered, moving out of the bed to do as she had said before I could even respond.

As Freya moved, the light caught on her skin and I was surprised at how shiny it looked. Well she had natural soft, glowing skin but tonight it looked like she was almost sparkling, I couldn’t explain it but she looked really beautiful even with her hair packed up and in her pajamas.

Plus, her scent was particularly heavenly tonight, I didn’t know what it was but even when everything felt right and i just couldn’t help but think that there was something off here.
