Chapter 157
Greyson’s POV
It had been days of careful planning and strategizing plus exhaustion on my part. I couldn’t sleep or eat and the longer I went without seeing Freya or knowing how she was the worse I became..
The last few days have been filled with me trying to hold it down and keep sane. Not only for my sake, but for the sake of the children under my care.
It was difficult to believe that Roman could abandon his child to pursue this insanity. He had presumably left Simon in the care of Emilia, whom he did not expect to attempt to escape from his house and come to me but that was besides the point.
The entire thing was messy. Too messy for me to fully comprehend.
Then to make matters worse, there was an ache in my chest that had formed two nights ago and it had refused to leave. I couldn’t explain its origin, neither could I get rid of it.
I was devastated and desperate to find Freya and Goddess knew how much my heart hurt every second that went by without her by my side but that’s not where this ache was from I was certain of that. This one came in the form of pain and it usually got worse whenever I was alone.
The only time that I had felt something like this before was wher Estel had died and the mate bond was severed. It had taken a long time for the pain to go away but after it did, I felt at peace and not up until two nights ago did it resurface again.
A knock came on my door, distracting my train of thoughts and bringing me back to reality. The door was pushed open and Smith poked his head into the room.
“Are you
you alright?” He asked immediately he shut the door, squinting his eyes at me as if trying to get a better look.
I sighed heavily and the thought of nodding my head positive and quickly moving on to why he was here, was very tempting but I thought against it. Keeping my pain to myself was the least healthiest thing I could do for myself mentally especially at a time like this.
Plus, who else could I talk about this to than the one person who would understand.
“There has been this pain in my chest that began two nights ago, I dozed off here in the office and I had a dream but I can’t remember a single detail of that dream. I know that I had a dream for sure but I can’t tell what it was. And then the moment I woke up, this ache began and it has refused to go away.”
“I think you need more rest Greyson. You’re not sleeping or eating. We are this close to finalizing everything that we’ll need and you know what we’re up against, or at least you can guess. There’s no way you can fight to get Freya back if you’re not prepared for it.” My Beta advised.
I didn’t think that would be the solution to the ache in my chest but his words made a lot of sense.
Emilia had been very helpful, giving us as much details as she had been able to gather.
We knew where Freya had been taken to although not the exact location but we would get around that. We knew that Matthew, Roman, Zoe and Naomi were involved with this and we knew that the plan wasn’t exactly to kill Freya.
Emilia had said she didn’t know what the plan was since it had never been discussed around her and her eavesdropping and snooping around had been futile with providing an answer to that question in particular.

But that was the problem, why would these people come together if the plant wasn’t to kill Freya to spite me? Days and days, I’ve spent trying to come up with a theory but there was just noting
“You’re right. Maybe I should rest. Any news?”
“No new one. We’ll move out tomorrow night, we have everything we need ready” Smith said and I hummed in satisfaction.
“You should also try to get some rest.”
Smith offered me a smile before moving towards the door. His lp since the entire mess began had been immense and I didn’t know if I would ever be able to pay him back for it all.
“Smith.” I called out just as his hand came in contact with the knob of the door. He paused in his tracks and turned around to face me once more.
“Thank you. For everything.” I said and he nodded offering me one of his famous sheepish smiles that always made me laugh.
This time I didn’t have it in me to laugh but I offered him a smile in return. I really was grateful to have someone watching my back at a time like this where everything seemed to be going wrong.
I moved from my position at the desk and in the direction of my room stopping by Jessy’s room first.
-The sight of my daughter sleeping so peacefully was one of the best things in the world.
The absence of Freya around us was affecting her more than she could express and the four years old spent the better part of her waking hours crying and being moody.
There was only so much I could do to comfort her and I tried my absolute best, I knew that I had to come back with Freya for her to eventually calm down and be happy and that was what I intended to do no matter what happened.
