The Omega For Sale

“Ouch Christie, can you try to not pull my brain out with that brush.” I hissed in annoyance.

Shutting my eyes as the pain from the pull settled down. I couldn’t even concentrate properly on the dressing up that was happening in the moment, my mind was occupied with other things and a painful pull that would bring me back to the reality was the last thing that I needed.

“Geez Freya, grumpy much? I’m sorry, but it’s really not my fault and I’m trying my best to be gentle. Why is your hair so tangled by the way, haven’t you been brushing it?” Christie responded, brushing my hair slower and gentler this time.

“All I want to do right now is sleep to be honest. There’s still this feeling in my stomach like something is going to go wrong tonight and I just think if I lay in bed through out then I might be able to avoid it all.” I said on a sigh, rubbing my fingers against my temples, trying to chase away the headache that had begun to form there.

“You can’t say that Freya. I’m already so excited and I’m not the one being announced as Luna. You can see the amount of efforts Master has put into making sure everything goes smoothly and that you’re safe, trust him that nothing will go wrong. Plus it would be over in a minute so there might not be enough time for anything to go wrong.” Michelle said in a comforting tone, applying more make up to my face as she spoke.

I gave the smaller maid a smile, thanking her quietly for her support. I knew it was silly, anticipating so much bad and negativity especially after watching Greyson literally burst his ass to make sure everything about tonight went as smoothly and as peacefully as possible.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

But I know what I saw chained up in that room months ago, I know how I felt and I knew that my anxiety and fear was pretty justified.

A woman on a mission could be very dangerous, depending on what the mission was, how determined and desperate she was to achieve it. Throw in evil, deranged, jealous and super desperate and one would have an extremely dangerous woman on their hands.

This was the exact situation with Zoe.

I don’t think anyone else understood that, I don’t think they saw it in the way that I currently did. Probably only the Goddess could stop her at this point, not the greatest security measures out in place, not trying to hunt her down. Nothing could really stop her.

“It’s time to wear your dress Luna.” Christie said in a sing sing voice that interrupted my train of thoughts and made me chuckle.

I moved from the chair that I had previously settled on and walked to the center of the room where Michelle and Christie helped me into the extravagant dress Greyson had insisted on purchasing.

It was a green sequined sleeveless dress that had been made to hug the top part of my chest and then flow out from my stomach till it reached the floor. The moment the dress was properly zipped I couldn’t help the gasp that escaped my lips.

I looked and felt like a queen in my dress and I also felt really pretty. Wearing the dress alone boosted my confidence and made me feel happy.

“Damn Freya, you look beautiful. Oh, I’m so excited for this and I can’t wait for tonight to happen and for everything to come together. You deserve tonight and I know you’re going to do great and do right by this pack and the ones beyond. I really wish you a long, happy and peaceful reign.” Christie said.

I had tears drop from my eyes from the first three words that she said and they only continued to pour out harder and faster the more she spoke. I hugged her tight and Michelle joined in the hug and soon we were a mess of three crying girls, in a hug.

A knock comes on the door and breaks us up. Simon and Jessy walk into the room, each child with a single rose in their hand. I move towards the bed to sit, because I knew trying to squat down to their height would not end well for my stomach and knees.

“Mommy you look so beautiful and gorgess.” My ever cute daughter complimented and Simon nodded in support.

“Oh thank you my darlings.” I responded, pulling them together and squishing them in a hug that made them both giggle.

I drop a kiss on their heads and take their hands into mine, saying my thanks to Michelle and Christie for making me look pretty and being patient with me even through my mood swings. Both girls laugh it off and we all head out of the room.

I could hear the buzz coming from just outside the house and my heart pounded faster and faster the closer we got to it.

Greyson had assured me that not a lot of people would be present there and that it would be a very simple announcement. He had said it would be over in a minute and all that would be left would be a little feast amongst the people present just to celebrate.

The moment we got to the bottom of the stairs, I was amazed by the decorations that had been put up. Whoever was responsible for this had done a pretty amazing job and I watched with awe as I moved towards the door that led outside and uncovered more and more decor.

The moment the door was pulled open to reveal the outside, the people in it and then Greyson, it felt as if my heart stopped working. True to my mates words, there were not a lot of people gathered there, maybe even less than I expected but unfortunately it didn’t make any difference.

The anxiety that I felt at seeing the little amount of people was the same as whatever I would have felt had the crowd been more or even less. I stayed rooted to my spot and just tried to get my breathing to work normally again.

Simon gently pulled my hand and when I looked down at the four years old, he had an encouraging smile on his lips, the smile was so beautiful that it went straight to my heart and I had no choice but to return the smile.

Sometimes I really felt like Simon was a thirty five years old locked in the body of a child. The boy was so smart and so much wiser than his age. It was a wonder how he was born to a father like Roman. Really scary.

I moved on forward to a waiting Greyson and the moment I was close enough to him the Alpha pulled me into his arms and gave me a really warm hug, that made me melt into him.

It felt as if he transferred some sort of energy and strength into me through that hug. His aura was peaceful and clean, sake with his scent and I could only breathe in all of the positive energy that he radiated and bask in it.

“You’re so freaking beautiful Freya. You look amazing, you’re glowing and that dress, damn, it’s driving me crazy.” Greyson whispered in my ears and I giggled at his words.

The hug felt like it went on for hours but I knew it couldn’t be more than a couple of seconds, but when he broke it up, I felt like a different person. I found confidence, courage and strength and the people before me didn’t look as intimidating as they did just minutes before.

“BlackWood Pack, over the last couple of months, we have been witness and even participants to the roughness and chaos that have rocked us all, it has been a pretty long and hard journey for me to be able to keep this pack and even beyond running and safe but I’ve had the greatest support system and I can say that’s the only reason I’ve been able to come so far.

One year ago, I got reconnected with my family, a family I didn’t ever think existed and even when it had been one of the roughest journey for us all, trying to adjust, trying to find a balance in our rocky world, I can say that it has been the most beautiful ride of my life.” Greyson paused to look at me and I swiped at the tears that had spilled down my face.

“Meet your Luna, Freya!” Greyson announced in a loud voice.

I wasn’t sure what exactly I had been expecting from the announcement. Maybe I had hoped for a loud cheer, or whispers, murmurs, anything to be honest.

What I never anticipated or even saw coming was the deafening silence that settled in the air following the announcement.
