The Lycan King's Secret Baby (Freya and Jaxon)

Chapter 2

JAXON’S P.O.V

I pulled out of her before I orgasmed. If there was one thing I was, it was careful. No whore was going to bear my child, that much I was certain of. I could not remember her name, I remembered seeing her in the bar after I had gone for a drink and I took her back. She was beautiful with curves that would make any man fall to his knees but it somehow paled in comparison to Freya’s,

I scowled at the thought of my wife and pushed all thoughts of her out of my head. It was three years ago today that we got married and that marked the worst day of my life. I did not want a wife, it was not part of my wishes but according to law, I was supposed to be married in order to take control of the throne. I was supposed to take her sister but I was given her instead. She was defective, she was an omega and yet they thought she was the best fit for me. I had been waiting by the car for her sister when she had shown up instead. it was the most insulting thing that had ever been done to me and I was determined to make sure that I paid back that disrespect in ten folds.

“Get out of my room, and bring my Beta to me,” i said to the girl and she wasted no time in rushing out.

I was putting on my shirt when the door opened. I did not need to look to know who was standing there.

“Aiden,” I called out to my Beta once I noticed him walking past. “Go and bring Freya to me.”

He looked like he was about to protest but I shot him a hard look. He didn’t agree of my treatment of her but I didn’t care. She was my subject and not his, he could complain when he became king.

“It’s late, Jaxon, don’t you think you should let the girl sleep?” he asked. “She wakes up before four a.m. every day to do chores.”

“Since when did that become any of my business?”

He let out a deep sigh. “I don’t even know why I bother anymore. She has done nothing to you. She is not-” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Do not finish that sentence,” I snarled. “Find Freya and bring her to me now.”

He nodded and walked away. I waited in my room with my ankle crossed over my thigh for her to come. I knew it shouldn’t take more than five minutes which was why when it ran longer, I became irate. I waited two more minutes before storming out of my room only to bump into Aiden but Freya wasn’t with him.

“Where is she?” I asked. “Don’t tell me you felt pity for the girl and asked her to stay back.”

“She wasn’t there.”

It took a second for his words to register and when they did, I turned to him in confusion. “What do you mean by she wasn’t there? Did she disappear? She has to be here.”

“Her bag was gone and some of her stuff too. I think she ran away.”

I hated to admit it but my first thought was one of pride. It wasn’t easy for someone to decide to run from me. After the pride had ebbed, the anger and annoyance came. She knew who I was and yet she dared to run. I was going to find her and make her pay even if it was the last thing I did.

“Ready the spies,” I told Aiden. “We have an omega to catch.”

I thought it would be easy to find her, after all, I had hunted far more dangerous men that she could ever imagine but Freya was smart. She knew how to cover her tracks and within twenty four hours, we had lost her scent. I continued the hunt for two more days before I realized that it was fruitless but my pride wouldn’t let me stop.

It was on the fourth day when things started to get weird. I was in my office because I didn’t follow the guards out for the search when I felt an indescribable pain in the center of my chest. I had heard of that kind of pain before and it only came when one rejected their mate. I could not believe that Freya would do that.

It knocked me to my knees and I had to grip onto the edge of my table for balance. I was grateful that there was no one around to witness it but also annoyed because for the first time in my life, I needed help.

It felt like someone was repeatedly stabbing my chest with a poisoned knife. I couldn’t breathe. I didn’t know how but somehow, I managed to drag myself to my feet and my legs started to move. I didn’t know where I was going, only that I needed to find something to ease that pain. I moved purely on instinct and by the time I realized where I was headed, I cursed.

I wanted to turn back immediately but it was almost like I had lost control of my limbs. I found myself in front of the small closet that served as Freya’s bedroom. I hadn’t been there since she left and it was for good reason too. Just staring at the door seemed to bring an overwhelming sense of emotions that I didn’t want to pay attention to. She was the only person who had successfully avoided me till date and it did wonders to a man’s ego.

Regardless of how I felt, I pushed open the room. It was neatly arranged just as she always kept it but it lacked her presence. I didn’t know how to explain it but there was something about her that just stood out when she was in a room and I hated it.

It took me a while to realize that the ache in my chest had somehow stopped and I felt normal. My lip curled the more I stood in the room and I didn’t realize when I had taken my phone out of my pocket and dialed Aiden’s number.

“We haven’t found her yet,” he began but I cut him off.

“I don’t care about that,” he went silent. “Come back to the palace. I want you to tear this room down.”

“Excuse me?”

“I don’t want a single trace of her left here. Let it be as if she was never here.”

“If you’re putting so much effort into finding her then why do you want to tear the room down?”

“I don’t pay you to ask questions,” I spat. “Get it done.”
