Chapter Fourty-Eight: Freya's Piont Of View

Ava stood there next to Christian with a straight face and Christian was smirking as we entered the Court yard. We had to be outside under the full moon. This was nerve racking.

"Your Majesty. If you will please come down here and face Freya please." Ava nods and walks up to me. I give her a gentle smile and she gives me an apologetic look.

"Freya will you please bring forth a flame circle around you both?" I arch an eyebrow at him bit nod. I pull Shade to the surface and blue and silver flames dance around us. Ava's eyes widen slightly but she seemed more curious about them than anything.

I crinkle my nose as Silias began walking around the flames throwing herbs into it. Well that stinks. Once he was done he stepped into the circle without any issues. I knew that my flames wouldn't burn him. But still he didn't know that. He held a dagger.

"King Christian if you would please drop your drop into the flames first." Christian groans but does as asked. I suppress a gag at the smell of burning blood.

"Luna you first." I look at Silias as he holds the dagger out to me. I clench my teeth together and nod. I slowly take the dagger and drag it across my palm. I wince as the blade tares open the tissue of my palm with ease. I walk toward the flames and let my blood drip into it.

"Queen Ava." I hand the blade to Ava and she doesn't hesitate. She cuts her palm allowing the the blod to drip into the flames.

"Deam tested Apello. Age etc hic habita. Animus dual inire fedus volentbus. Lunaut lux nostra. Lusiurandum san-guinis formandum alligore ad posteros simul." (I call upon the goddess as witness. Come and settle here. Two willing souls to enter the pact. The Moon as our light. A blood Oath to be formed tying the next generation together.)

The flames grew on their own and my body was growing uncomfortably warm. Ava looked uncomfortable as well. My body tingled slightly and my hands felt numb.

"Sanguine Signant Sua Fata." (With their blood their fate be sealed.) I gasp as the flames vanish in a blink of an eye with so much force it made me stagger backwards. Strong hands grip my shoulders keeping me up right. I tilt my head to look up. It was Raph.

"It's done." Silas checks on Ava who seems to be alittle out of breath. And her face was flushed. I relax into Raph's hands. I really just wanted to go home now.

"As agreed. I will send my men to you in three days time." I look up at Christian. He was frowning. Well that made me feel alittle better. I hadn't exactly made the pact in his favor. And I think he could sense that through the spell.

"I can make a portal. We should be on our way home." I cut my eyes to Silias and he seemed a little in edge. I nod my head and let out a small shriek as Raph lifts me up into his arms. I glare at him but he wasn't paying attention to me. He was looking around slowly.

Silias inhales a deep breath and a portal appears. I squeeze my eyes shut mostly because of the fast movement Raph made practically running into the portal. Silias and the twins followed at the same speed. What was going on?!

I groan. My stomache twisted. Oh goddess. Motion sickness?! Really?!

****ASTOR'S POINT OF VIEW****

The sudden portal had caught me off guard. Damien let's out a low growl. He hated getting scared. I snort. But then worry consumes me as I see Raph carrying my mate in his arms and she looked pale. I rush over to them.

"What happened?" Freya turns her head to look at me and gives me a small smile.

My heart skipped a beat at her tiny smile. I shake my head and look up at Raph. He was frowning. Which wasn't a good sign. It meant that my little dragon had done something Reckless. I arch an eyebrow and look down at her. She let's out a nervous giggle.

"We got the men." I smile at her. She actually got them to help.

"Tell them all of it Frey!" Raph voice was low and he seemed aggravated. What had she done now to put him in this kind of mood? Freya sighs and struggles in Raph's hold for a minute before he sets her down.

"Short version. I had to enter a blood Oath agreeing that his heir could Marry your or my heir. For my throne. Then we meet his wife who by the way is a light Elf. She told us that he was going to kill her after their son was born and then she used ancient magic to transfer the baby to my body so that Christian couldn't corrupt her child."

My mouth dropped open and my heart skipped a beat. My stomache dropped and the only thing that was clear to me was that Freya was pregnant now.

"You're pregnant because she transfered her baby into your body?" The words flew out of my mouth before I could actually process what was said to me. Freya bites down on her lower lip and looks at me.

"Are you angry?" Was I angry? My mate was pregnant..she was carrying a child..A child that may not be ours but we were responsible for now. Regardless of his birth parents..he was ours. Aro was strangely okay too. He remained quiet butnhe was content.

"I'm not angry. He's ours now. The Queen had her reasons. The Goddess has hers. I have to believe that this happened for a reason." Freya smiles up at me brightly. She was happy and that was all the matter. All she ever wanted to do was protect people and help people in whatever way that she could. Freya wraps her arms around me tightly and inhales several deep breaths. She relaxed into me. I smile and kiss the top of her head. She was atleast home and safe.
