The Lycan King's Secret Baby (Freya and Jaxon)
Chapter 3

FREYA'S P.O.V

FOUR YEARS LATER

I never thought I could have even a semblance of a good life but ever since I came to the human town, I have had nothing but peace. There were both wolves and humans in the town but the humans didn't know about our existence. I tried to stay away from the wolves as much as possible and it helped that I was an omega so they couldn't smell the wolf on me.

For four years, I had managed to avoid Jaxon. It was by sheer dumb luck and the help of the goddess because I knew the moment he started chasing from me. it was the source of some of my nightmares. I remembered hiding in the caves hoping and praying that I wouldn't be found. I remembered the night I was almost found. I was in a cave and the Beta had walked up to me. I had prayed to the goddess that he wouldn't notice me.

Just as he was about to go in and search, he got a call and had to leave. I ran far away from the pack then and I stumbled on my new abode. It hadn't been easy to hide the fact that I was on the run from not one but two different people but the others did not care much. As long as I worked and paid my rent on time, nobody really cared about who I was and where I was coming from.

"Are you going to check out your things?" I heard a nasally sneer from behind me and I flushed pink when I realized that I was holding up the line at the store.

"I'm sorry," I mumbled when I realized that it was a she-wolf that was behind me. She looked strong, like she could easily beat me in a fight without breaking a sweat. "Stupid humans," I heard her mutter under her breath as I hurriedly checked out my goods.

I could hear her impatiently tapping her feet behind me and mumbling words about how stupid I was and although it enraged me, I ignored her. The last thing I wanted to do was draw attention to myself in any way. I rushed out of the store as soon as I was done and got into my car. I didn't want to give the she-wolf the opportunity to meet me and get pissed all over again. One thing I knew about wolves was that they had a shitty temper.

I drove home in a flash and as soon as I was in front of my building, I let out a sigh of relief. I had so many things that I knew a single trip up the stairs would be difficult but when I caught sight of that car seat at the back of the car, I found myself stacking everything in my hands. It was a struggle to slip the key into the lock but I managed to do it.

I placed the bags on the counter haphazardly and rushed over to my room. Once I saw the small body lying spread eagle on the bed, I let out a sigh of relief. I barely had time to myself and the moment my daughter was asleep, I rushed out to get some groceries. I was terrified the entire time that she would wake up and not find me there.

I walked over to her bed side and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. She didn't even stir and continued snoring softly.

"I love you," I whispered knowing very well that she couldn't hear me, "You are the best thing that has ever happened to me."

I was simply gazing at her when my phone decided to ring. I rushed out so that she wouldn't be disturbed by the call and one look at the caller ID and I knew my day was about to be ruined but I picked up my boss' call anyway.

"I need you in the office now," she said immediately not even giving me a chance to speak. "You have five minutes to be here."

"I can't, it is my day off so unless you are paying me overtime and you have the capacity to accommodate my daughter then I am sorry but I can't do it."

"Overtime? Are you serious right now, Freya? You should be lucky that you even have this job. You were under qualified when I hired you. You should be begging at my feet. How dare you? I wasn't the one who asked you to get knocked up. It shouldn't be any of my concern."

"It isn't, I keep my personal life far away from my professional but right now you are asking me to come in on my day off. You are the one who made my daughter your business. If you don't want that then you have to call someone else."

She started screaming on the other end of the phone and I was used to her ranting so I ignored her until I heard something that caught my attention.

"What did you say?" I asked making my boss go silent. "I need you to repeat the last thing."

"Were you deaf or just ignoring me?"

"Please," I added and she huffed.

"I heard rumors that a potential investor is coming. I don't know why, he is practically a ghost. Not many people have seen him face to face. I was even doubting that he existed."

"What is his name?"

She was shocked at my outburst. I had never spoken to her like that before and I knew that I would regret it at work tomorrow but I couldn't bring myself to care. I wanted to make sure that I had heard the correct name. I wanted to make sure that my mind wasn't playing tricks on me and that my worst nightmares were not coming true.

"His name is Jaxon Eaton."
