Settling Feelings.

This chapter may include an intimate scene so if you would not like to read please skip this chapter to the next one. Thank you

As the night settled over the otherworldly city, the group found themselves in their separate rooms, each wrestling with their thoughts and emotions. Freya, though she had only known Alexander for a short time, felt a deep connection with him. She couldn't help but admire his strength and determination, which had been evident throughout their journey. His protective nature had touched her heart.

In her room, Freya paced back and forth, contemplating the situation. Her encounter with Zephyr had been both bewildering and frightening, and she had found herself in the middle of a complex web of emotions and relationships. She knew that in the world of the winged beastmen, the one who saved her had a claim to be her mate, and that was Zephyr.

But as she looked back on the journey, it was clear that Alexander had been there for her since she first arrived in the beastworld. He had never doubted her but treated her with love and made sure to get what she wanted. He had been by her side, ready to protect her, and she had seen his genuine concern for her safety. The more she thought about it, the more her heart leaned toward him

Alexander, too, lay in his room, staring at the ceiling. His heart had been stirred by Freya's presence from the moment he had set eyes on her. He admired her courage and spirit, and her kindness had touched something deep within him. He always grow jealous whenever she was with another beastmen but he knew she would not have only one mate because of how powerful and beautiful she was. He was still trying to accommodate Lyrik then came another Zephyr who had saved her so has the right to be her mate. He felt like his heart was been grabbed by a hand and it was hard to breathe.

Within his thinking he heard a knock on the door. He opened it and it was Freya standing outside with an animal hide covering her body. He ushered her inside and made her sit on the bed made of animal hide and wood. After making sure she was comfortable he asked why she came to see him that late.

Freya " Actually Alexander I was avoiding this particular issue because I felt we barely knew each other and I thought what we had was just an attraction but during this months of being together and the separation has made me realise that i really can't live in this world without you. I may not love you as much as you do but I promise that I will try my best to love you in my own way. So I want us to be together. What do you think. "

After Freya said those words she looked down because she was shy, Alexander moved closer to her and sat on the bed he held her hand in his.

Alexander "Freya you really don't know how happy I am. I've been waiting for you to made your decision and I would have respected your decision even if it was not me you chose. I want you to know that I will make sure no harm will come to you and I will love and protect you for the rest of my life. Thank you for choosing me as your mate. "

Freya "There is still something I want to say. I also have feelings for Lyrik and there is also Zephyr who saved me even though his people kidnapped me but he hasn't done anything bad to me and has treated me with kindness and love. I really can't bear to reject them so I wanted to tell you before anything incase he would like to change your mind.

While she was saying her words,he felt the hand that was grasping his heart tighten it was getting difficult for him to breathe. But to the end of her sentence he felt much better.

Alexander "Freya you really are different from the others. You know in this world a female is supposed to have more than one mate to help expand their tribes and for protect. I won't deny that it hurts me to know I will not be your only mate but if I'm to choose between you have a lot of mates and being alone to choosing only me and die. I would rather you choose many mates and live. And if a beastman makes a commitment or chooses a female he doesn't break it even if he is at his last breathe. So I never planned on leaving even if you still didn't choose me. And I'm sure Lyrik and Zephyr will have the same mind as mine.But I hope you would at least love me more than your other mates".

Freya "Alexander I can't promise to love you more than my future mates but I promise to love each of my mates equally. "

Right after she said those words she turned to look at Alexander for his reaction only for to meet his blue dazzling eyes looking at her.

No words were said there after, just few seconds seconds later Alexander moved closer and draw her face closer to his for a kiss. His kisses were gentle as a breeze as if afraid to hurt her and Freya was first shocked but later responded to his kiss with her own pace. Their kisses became more passionate and urgent and Alexander's hands moved along the curves of her body. He then took off the animal hide covering her. Freya was were an open shoulder dress made from a white wolf, this dress was made by Zephyr since when she was kidnapped she couldn't bring along her bags. Withba ripping sound the dress come off from her body only leaving an exposed flawless body. He took his time to worship her body before finally making love to her for hours after which she fainted. Alexander went to get warm water and helped her clean her body while cleaning her body he noticed a white tiger in a form of a tattoo around her left collar bone. He gently caressed it before kissing her on the forehead and falling asleep with her in his arms.

Meanwhile, Lyrik found himself outside on the balcony of his room, gazing at the stars. He had been friends with Alexander for as long as he could remember but Alexander couldn't remember him because something happened back then so he lost his memory, and they had faced countless challenges together. They had always been there for each other, but now there was a shift in their dynamic. Lyrik couldn't ignore the fact that his feelings for Freya had grown stronger with each passing day. He knew he had to respect Alexander's claim, but it didn't stop the longing in his heart for Freya. If he is asked to give up on this feeling he would rather end his life than do so .

The following day came and Freya called for everyone to meet. When they were all settled Zephyr and Lyrik could smell the scent of Alexander on her, they both felt like their hearts were being stabbed with a knife. But they still waited to hear what Freya had to say.

Freya "I called us here because I wanted to say something. I'm well aware of the feeling you have for me a one way or the other I also have some feelings for each of you even of it might not be as much as you do.So I agreed to take you as my mate but not now I really want all of us to know and understand each other as a family. And I promise to treat every one of you equal as much as I can.

When she was done both Zephyr and Lyrik heaved a sign of relief. With the little time the spent with Freya the could tell she was different from them so they were scared she will reject them and send them away now that Alexander was her mate. Not like they would have left anyway but it would have hurt them to know she didn't want them. Now that she wasn't rejection them but rather asking for them they would definitely feel happier.

They both agreed with her, afterwards Zephyr went to hunt whiles the rest stayed behind to look after Freya. She went to freshen up after having her breakfast and they started their day.

With their feelings out in the open, the group decided to continue their quest to find a way back to their own world. They knew they needed to find a mysterious blue dragon who was a rare being ever seen because his body was made of furs and not scales. He was rumored to be able to help them get back to their world. Freya, Alexander, Lyrik, and Zephyr embarked on their journey together. They heard from the beastmen living in this realm that the one they were looking for was a powerful beastman who liked to live alone and hated disturbance. He lived in the heart of a beautiful ethereal mountain so the four went in search of the mountain. There was only one mountain that fit that description and so they agreed for Freya to fly with Zephyr whiles Alexander and Lyrik climbed their way to the top. When they got to the peak of the mountain they couldn't believe their eyes, the whole place was filled with various colours of stones and flowers with butterflies of various colours and sizes flying around. They walked along the stone which lead them to a well decorated cave in there was the powerful and majestic beastman they were looking for resided. As the got closer to the cave Freya felt a force pulling her closer like a magnet, she couldn't stop the force no matter how had she tried and ended up inside the cave but they whole cave was so dark that she couldn't see anything.
