Chapter Fourty-Five.

****RAPH'S POINT OF VIEW***

"An alliance between The Dark Elves and The Wolves?" Christian scoffs. I let out a low growl. He wasn't the only one who didn't like the idea. But Freya was our Queen and Luna. He didn't need to be disrespectful.

"No. Between the Elves and my kingdom." My eyes widen as I look at Freya. She was going to forfeit her kingdom just for their help?! But it seemed that Christian was interested in that.

"And what would I recieve from this." I could hear Freya's heart beat quicken. What was she thinking? The twins looked like they wanted to say something but they seemed to be torn.

"Nothing. But, your heir and an Heir of Astor and I would rule my kingdom together." My mouth drops open. What the Night is she doing?! Astor was going to lose his mind when he found out about this. I look to Silias but he wore nothing nothing but a blank expression. Looking up at Christian he looked doubtful. Almost as if he didn't believe her.

"Rumor has it that you can not have children." I glance down and notice that Freya's hand inched closer to her dagger. Her anger was getting the better of her. I take a step toward him when a warm hand slips into mine pulling me back. I glance down at the hand and look up to see Freya wearing the tiniest of smiles.

"The Goddess herself healed me. So that isn't a problem. I hear that your wife is pregnant with a son. To make it binding I can do a blood Oath."

***FREYA'S POINT OF VIEW****

I still held Raph's hand. I needed the support. My heart was hammering against my chest. At the mention of The Blood Oath Christian sat forward and stared at me for a long moment.

"You're serious?" I give Raph's hand a squeeze. Why was it so hard to believe. I knew that Raph probably wanted to yell at me for even suggesting it.

"Deathly. That is why I suggested it." Raph was tense beside me. Jade tugs on my finger trying to get my attention. But I just shake my head. I knew what I was doing. I just needed them to trust me.

"And if I should go back on my word about helping you?"

'This BOY is trying my patience Mistress.' I sigh heavily.

"Then in accordance to the blood Oath Your Wife and Son will die." I turn my head and look at Raph. He was glaring at Christian. He was angry and I could tell. Christian looked alittle shocked at this new piece of information.

"Then it would be the same for you too then Luna if you tried to back out?" I nod my head and stare at him.

"Very well. Then Once we do The Blood Oath you may have command of my army. For as long as you need them." I let out the breath that I had been holding.

"Thank you. Your Majesty."

"When can the blood Oath be done?" I arch an eyebrow at him. I turn my gaze to Silias and head been staring at Christian the whole time.

"When the moon rises. We will also need your blood for the Oath as well." Christian rolls his eyes but nods. Now I was confused. Why did we need his blood.

"The twins will show younto the guest area so that you may wait there and eat and prepare whatever you need." Gemini grabs my arm and practicly drags me. Jade seemed to be on edge about something. We were all quiet as we made our way to the guest area.

Once inside Silias began muttering and waving his hands around. What is he doing? Gemini sighs almost relieved. It caused Silias to chuckle.

"It's safe to talk now." Jade growls in frustration. I arch an eyebrow at her. Really?

"If anyone has anything to say you can say it."

"Frey..Why would you suggest a blood Oath!? You know what it does to one.." I turn my attention to Raph. He looked so hurt..I smile. I take a step toward him but he tenses up. I could feel my eyebrows draw together.

"You would do that to your child?" I snort.

"I was very careful with my wording. And I am killing two birds with one stone. Something tells me that Aria's baby is a girl. And I said Astor and I. Just because Aria is having a girl doesn't mean she won't still come after Luca. But! If I do this and arrange for Aria's daughter to have her own power..Luca is safe. Aria and Christian both get what they want."

The room had gone completely silent and I notice that their mouths were hanging open. Silias grins and pats me on the back.

"I figured as much. That is why I said I wanted His blood as well. It'll tie his life to the Oath as well. He will have no choice. I don't trust him not to sacrifice his wife or child." I nod. Christian didn't give me a good vibe and by the frowns on Jade and Gemini's faces they didn't trust him either.

"I still don't like it." I turn my attention to Raph again. For some unknown reason he was hurting. Before I could stop myself I wrap my arms around him tightly.

He stiffens and holds his arms out away from me. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Ooh!! Group Hug!!" Raph groans as Silias's arms wrap around us both. I look up to see Raph's hand on Silias's head to keep him at a distance.

"I'll hit you man!" Silias chuckles and ducks and tightens his hold around us.

"Silias GET OFF!" I could hear Jade and Gemini giggling.

A knock on the door makes us jump apart. As the door opens people were coming in with food trays. I glance at Jade and Gemini. They shake their head once. Meaning that we shouldn't eat that.

I stare at the food and sigh. I was getting alittle hungry and we couldn't eat that. Silias clicks his tongue.

"I guess that I'll just portal and get some food from home. Atleast then we will know it's safe." I nod in agreement. We had to eat. But not this.
