Chapter 169
“Freya, Goddess, why are you outside this early?” I heard Greys’s voice and it snapped me out of the reverie that I had been wrapped in.
I offered him a small smile to ease him and allowed myself fall to the bug that he offered.
“Did you sleep at all?” He asked.
“Yes, I just woke up early.” I felt bad about lying to him but I didnt want him to worry more than he was already doing about
- me.
“Are you alright?” He asked and I nodded my head enjoying his warm arm around me and his intoxicating scent that had surrounded me.
“I have a series of meeting today, but maybe once I’m done we could go to the fields and have lunch there. What do you think? Jessy should be done with school by then so maybe we can all spend some time together.” He offered.
“That’s a good idea. Although maybe I’ll go a little earlier and you both could come meet me afterwards.” I said.
The last thing I wanted was to be stuck alone in the house while he worked and Jessy went to school.
“Are you sure? You’re not completely healed and Clara advised you don’t go to places by yourself. It’s not going to be a long
meet
“I’ll be fine. I promise. I’ll be careful and I’ll just read a book while I’m there, I’m not going to start running around and chasing butterflies.” I said playfully and Greyson chuckled along with me, before pulling me in to drop a kiss on my forehead.
“I’ll ask Smith to drive you and look after you while you’re there. No arguments Freya, it’s either that or you stay home with
me.”
I really didn’t want Smith to drive me there but I realized that I didn’t have a many options.
“Fine.” I gave in and with a wide smile on his face, he pulled us to our feet and we headed to the master’s bedroom to prepare for our day.
Smith.
The Beta had been acting really weird since I met him after the incident. It felt like there was something he knew that I didn’t and it scared me to think what it was.
After we were done preparing and I was dressed into something warm and prepared to leave. Greyson accompanied me
outside.
“Be careful, okay?” He advised and I nodded in the affirmative. Allowing him place a kiss on my cheeks then a soft peck on my lips.
It had been this–way since I got back, small forehead kisses. Little peck on the cheeks and lips and absolutely nothing sexual
in any way.
I didn’t know for sure if I was ready to be sexual again so soon but one thing I was sure of was that I did not enjoy being treated like a fragile object that was going to break at any time. hated being treated like the victim, with pity and like I was about to fall apart.

But now wasn’t the time to address it and so plastering a smile of my face, I got into the car with Smith and gave Greyson a wave before we got on our way.
As expected, the car ride was quiet and awkward and the tension that hung in the air could be cut with a knife if one was desperate enough. I hated being like this with him, I considered Smith one of my only true friends and I felt terrible that for reasons unknown to me, he was being this off with me.
“Are you upset with me?” I finally asked when I could no longer take the silence.
“Upset? Why would I be upset with you? You didn’t do anything wrong to me.”
“Exactly. So why this weird behaviors and silence?” I could hear the annoyance that had slipped into my voice but I had no intentions of trying to conceal it.
Smith sighed heavily and then he took his attention away from the road for a moment to focus it on me. It didn’t last, because before 1 could depict the look in his eyes, he was looking away.
“Let’s just get to the fields.” He said.
I furrowed my brows in confusion. What was it that he couldn’t just tell me? I didn’t say a word anymore though, I only urnes my attention to the road beside us to watch the passing cars and people.
Soon enough we were at the fields but the moment the car went off. Smith relaxed in his seat like he had no intentions of stepping out of the car. Confusion flooded through me but I remained in my seat too.
“Do you have any memories of your childhood, you know, your younger years.” He asked.
Out of everything that I had thought he would say. This was never one of them. My childhood wasn’t really a time in my life that I liked to think of. There were terrible memories from it and I usually had the majority of them locked behind a wall.
“Not really. I don’t remember much from my earlier years. Maybe from age seven, but not younger than that.” I said truthfully and he hummed.
“Well that explains it. You know from the time I met you, I always felt like I recognized you, there was just something within me that knew you but I didn’t give it much thought until the dream I had on the night we rescued you.” He paused and looked to be lost in thoughts.
I remained quiet but my heart was slamming in its cage.
“We’re siblings Freya, we were just separated very early in our lives.”
