C71 Tobias is kinda attractive

Freya's Pov

I was on my bed, the soft comfy white bird staring up at the ceiling. The weather was merciful and tender, it carried my mind to the news I received from Tobias. All that he had said. All this time, I felt like my father was the heroine, like he was the good man, alpha that would lay his life for his pack and family. But I was wrong.

Half wrong though, he at least laid down his own flesh and blood for the pack. The pains, I thought they would consume me after I woke up, rather all I felt was numbness. I was tired of being reminded a hundred times how dumb and foolish I was. Everything, everything till this day had all been a lie. My father, my mate, my identity. There was not a single truth in my life. My entire life was built and founded on lies.

It was bizarre to acknowledge, but my father deserved what he got.

Numb or not I could hardly decipher with the headache that drummed in my head, my eyes spun, and I felt unusual weakness.

Maybe I was sick, the truth and everything, I could not bear it because both I and my body were physically and mentally tired.

With much effort I stood up from the bed. I was done feeling sorry for myself, and hating on myself. I had to earn my place here if I was not going to be by Tobias' side as his mate—-

A sharp pain pierced through me by that thought and I hissed. Jade was happy we had found a second chance mate, she was thankful to the moon goddess but she also had post trauma after being played as a fool by her first mate, which of course didn't make her completely deny her feelings for Artemis or Tobias.

“You are going to be your best self,” I said to my reflection in the bathroom mirror, finally getting the wheel to get up from the bed.

I had a nice bath and stepped out of the bathroom, chose a night black dress and walked out.

The moment my unpaid guardian spotted me, she ran to my side, “Freya,” Rachael called, “are you alright,” she followed up with.

“Of course, why wouldn't I be,” I shrugged it off like it was nothing and continued down my path.

“I heard about everything, I forced it out of Tobias,” she quickly added because she knew I was going to chop Tobias head of.

“It's no problem, some people are just not the hero we thought they were, no biggie,” I bent and took the gold laced stairs, she was by my side.

“But!”

“I'm alright Rach,” I said abruptly, “now what can I help do,” I sang out.

“Tobias said you should not do anything,” a maid said, her head low and in respect.

“Why?” I asked out loud.

“He said.. He said..you are ummm,” her voice faded out.

“He said you are our future Luna!” a girl with freckles squealed out, excited while I was the polar opposite.

There we go again with the label.

The other maid nudged her harshly, eyeing her.

“Oh I'm sorry, he didn't say that,” the freckled girl rushed.

I walked away and went in search of Tobias, one because I was mad at him and two I wanted to ummm talk to him. Yes

Stepping out, I got the attention of the guard, “where's Art….. No.. Umm Tobias, where's the alpha,” my gaze prodded the dark skinned fit guard. He was handsome and if he wasn't being a patron he surely would have gotten all the maidens.

‘Tobias is more handsome,’ a voice cut in and I shook my head, casting away every dirty thought.

I was angry just a few seconds back and now what? I was admiring a guard?

‘Get a grip! Freya’

He didn't mind me as he bowed respectfully and led me down an unfamiliar track. We moved from the pack house and before I knew it we were standing in an area filled with shirtless men.

My eyes looking at a particular strong hot abs, the packs and vivid outline disappearing into the sinful brief pants that held the remains of what I ached for. They were totally clawable.

Damn!

“Hello,” he sent a smirk I knew was intentional my way and I had to hold myself still from my jelly knees.

“Freya,” it was only when I heard my name did I notice that I was drooling, like a high schooler, with my palm I swiped my mouth clean of any unknown saliva that must have slipped out.

“Yes,” I managed to say like I wasn't just drooling. High school girls would kill to be in the same space as these hotties.

“What brings you here,” Tobias picked up his shirt and dried his abs of the droplets of sweat. It took every will in me not to reach out and do that for him, just to run my hands through it.

He coughed and looked at me. Oh no! He caught me!

“Umm what.. What brought me here is…” my words faded out, suddenly forgetting the reason I was here. Something brought me here, I was furious a second back but now I recalled his incredibly sexy abs were getting in the way of my thoughts.

Improvise.

“I came to watch you guys train! It's been long since I last trained,” I mentally high fived myself for that quick come back.

“Okay,” he clapped and pulled me gently, “listen up guys! We have a lady in our midst, she wants to watch us train. Let's make it worthy yeah!” he announced and they chanted yeah!

He tilted his head in my direction, too brief for my liking, “are you ready?” He raised a brow at me and I laughed for the first time, it felt free and real.

“One point for the gentlemen for making the lady laugh,” he announced again and sweaty, rock hard chest and arms jammed together, clapping enthusiastically. A full laugh left me accompanied by a feeling of lightness.

“We were about to go for a run, maybe you could watch the snapping of bones as we ran,” he grinned at me. And it was as though my heart skipped.

Male wolves smirked and jumped into the air as cracking of bones followed, and large animals were on all four, eyes a variant of different shades, starting from warm burnt orange to the finest lush green eyes.

“Now my turn,” Tobias said and my attention returned to him. I felt tension build in the square of my shoulders.

He unzipped his pants and my gaze lingered there the longest while, thriving to see what was below, it was fast and snap as bones cracked and the once smooth tanned skin was replaced with a large brown fur with the most beautiful hazel eyes I had set gaze on.

“Tobias,” I called gently as his gaze searched mine, I bent down to his level, with gentility, I reached forth to his fur and I brushed it slowly. We stayed there a little before he stood up and circled me in his wolf form, he nuzzled me on my legs and would run.

I didn’t quite understand, he turned back and came again, repeated same actions and wagged his tail.

“Do you want me to shift?” I asked, staring into his eyes. He jumped to this and I smiled, it had been ages since I shifted.

As I took hold of my dress, he turned his back at me.

‘A total gentleman,’ I smiled and donned out my black dress.

I bent down, the snapping of bones cracked through my ears and furs started forming, a growl left me and I didn’t recall it being this painful, I gasped and screamed and then fell to the ground and the light in the world went out.

“Freya?” A panicked voice called but I was too long gone to answer.
