Chapter 175
“Close your eyes and keep a hold on each other.” They said again
And we did as asked.
There was a silence for what felt like a long time, I couldn’t hear them talk or breathe or even feel their overwhelming presence like I had when my eyes were open.

But what I did feel was a certain heat coming from the point where Greyson held my hands and accompanying that heat was the sweetest, most intoxicating scent.

I was accustomed to Greyson scent, I after all slept with the man everyday but it felt like his scent tripled in the air. It felt like it clouded my every sense and consumed me. I didn’t understand any of it at all.
Then I felt brand new inside, replenished. The hole in my chest that had sat there for a while since after the incident was now gone, there was no sadness anymore or pain and it suddenly felt like I could breathe better.
When Greyson let go of my hands hurriedly, almost like he had just been burnt I flipped open my eyes immediately and the look of pure shock on his face scared me a little.
“Goddess Freya, y–you, we–we’re…” It didn’t look like he even had the right choice of words to speak.
The being was gone and it was just us left in the fields. It looked like there had been no one else but us here but something felt different. In fact, a lot of things felt different.
Greyson pulled me into his arms in the warmest embrace I had ever received. The moment his arms wrapped around me a burst of energy pulsed through his body and seemed to enter into mine. I couldn’t explain it but it seemed to affect Greyson too because he staggered a little in his spot, swaying with me in his arms.
The effect of whatever it was, hit me really strong and I could feel myself get dizzier by the second. Until the fields around. me began to fade.
The last thing I remembered was Greyson shouting my name before my world tilted and everything was silent again.
***
Silence.
That was all that I woke up to.
No, that’s wrong.
Silence and Greyson’s overwhelming scent. Then an unexplainable peace inside and outside of my being.
I couldn’t remember having a sleep as good as this one in months
“Are you
awake?” I heard his voice from my side and I turned around until I was facing him.
He put a hand around my eyes and then turned on the light. I smiled at the sweet gesture and when he took off his hands and the light didn’t immediately blind me, it made me smile some more.
“Are you alright? Do you feel fine now?” He asked again, reaching out a palm to touch my forehead.

Chapter 175
It was strange that I didn’t feel the anger that had resided in my heart against Greyson, the anger that had been there for a while now was just gone and all I could feel was this burst of love for the man before me.
“Yes, but I just had the craziest dream ever.” I furrowed my brows in thought as I spoke.
“Yeah? Tell me about it.” Greyson said with a glint in his eyes and a splitting grin on his lips.
“We were on the fields, fighting about something, but then we were blinded by a light and there was a person there. They said something about giving us a second chance and asked us to close our eyes. We did, well I did, I’m not sure if you did too.” I said and Greyson chuckled.

“Well, when I opened my eyes they were gone, your scent was so intoxicating, li–like it is n–now and I could feel some sort of heat from the hold you had on my hand…” I trailed off and then blinked once, twice, taking a moment to think through it.
“Did the heat feel like this?”
Greyson reached out to hold my hand and it felt like electricity passed through the contact. It didn’t burn me up like I had expected, instead it made me feel warm, safe.
My eyes were opened so wide and my mouth fell open, I was very sure that I looked comical.
“I–it wasn’t a dream? W–we w–we’re…”
“Mates Freya. We’re mates.”
