The Omega For Sale

There was no reason for me to be crying I was after all the one putting an end to it all but as I said those words I couldn’t help the stream of tears that fell down my face.

“No, no Freya. You can’t. We are a family! I love you, and you said you love me too.”

“I do, I really do. I just don’t think things are working out the way they should and the way they used to, maybe it’s a sign. You had a mate and maybe she’s supposed to be your one and only.”

“If that was meant to be then she would be here with me right now. But she’s not. You can’t just leave, what I’m I supposed to do without you? What are we going to tell Jessy and then Simon?”

I had never seen Greyson cry like the way he currently was doing ever before. It was so saddening to see the strongest man I knew cry as much. I wanted things to go back to normal, I wanted to be wrapped up in his arms back in our room, just discussing all the meaningless things the world had to offer.

There was a hole in my chest every time I thought about the strain in our relationship. I wanted to feel whole with Greyson again. I did love him, I had never loved any man like this in my life before.

But why did things keep going south for us recently? Why did all the bad things have to keep happening to us? Why couldn’t we just stay happy? Why was love no longer enough for us both?

“Maybe we need space. I’ll stay over at Smith’s for a few days and let’s see how things turn out after then.” I offered, barely able to breathe through the pain in my chest.

Greyson said nothing more to me. He just stood staring at me with tears falling down his eyes like he had lost all his willpower. I stood watching him for another couple of seconds but he just looked frozen to his spot.

I didn’t know what else to do or say to him and so I turned around to leave sending a silent prayer to the Goddess to heal our relationship and take away this strain.

“Don’t leave Freya please.” Greyson said once more, his voice broken, resigned and filled with pain.

I had been about to respond to him when a flame of bright white light appeared from the beginning of the fields. At first the light seemed to just be in one place but soon it began approaching us slowly.

I moved closer to Greyson and when the light inched even closer to us both, he pulled me into his arms and wrapped a protective arm around me.

Once the light was just in front of us, it faded away completely, leaving a person standing in its wake. The person came with such an overwhelming presence that startled me. It felt like I could feel them somewhere in my soul and I couldn’t be sure if to be scared about that or if to embrace it.

At first, I thought they were a woman from the dress that they wore and the long mane of hair on their head, but on second look they didn’t exactly fit any gender. They looked rather androgynous and when they spoke it confirmed it.

“Look at you both, driving the other crazy either with words or with actions, thinking you can actually live without each other but just a little burst of bright light and you somehow find a way to wrap around yourselves, you somehow find a way to try to comfort and protect each other.” They said.

Although their words weren’t exactly friendly but their voice was. It was the silkiest voice that I had ever listened to. It was just one of those voices that came with a melody and that one could listen to all day.

Greyson’s arms tightened around me as they spoke and I shifted further into him.

“Greyson, Freya, you both have such a unique fate. You’ve been through a lot individually and apart but that’s the thing, you’re not meant to be apart no matter what. Your fates have been intertwined with each other from the start and each time that you spend apart, there is nothing but pain for you both.

In each other, you will find love, peace, happiness, you will flourish and reach heights unimaginable. You both are set to lead not one or two people, you’re set to lead a world full of them and if you don’t stand strong together there’s just no way that it’s going to work.”

They stopped talking for a moment and just watched the space above our heads like they could see something that we couldn’t.

“Maybe your fates have been unfair to you. No one should have to go through what you both have been through. I’m giving you both a second chance, I’m taking away the fear and giving you an opportunity to live again and no matter what happens don’t let go of each other. Not ever again, it’s not exactly an option for you. Come here.” They instructed.

Greyson hesitated for a second but eventually he released the arm that had been wrapped around me and took a step forward, gently pulling me with him.

“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.

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.”
