5. She is my possession now

Rex’s POV

“You were saying?” I continued, in respective of the uncomfortable feeling passing through in the air.

“Are you stupid?” The Alpha’s daughter cautioned moving close to the Omega, “Did you just look into the eyes of the Dragon prince and talk back at him? How dare you?”

I almost missed the action and if I had taken my eyes for more than a second she would have slapped the Omega across her face. I held Diana’s hand in place “What do you think you are doing?” I asked, irritation filled my mind.

“I am trying to teach her a lesson. She just disrespected you” She replied in her defense. I was not sure what vexed me the most, whether it was the fact that she just attempted to slap my chosen mate in front of me or because she thought it was her right to defend me.

“My prince, you are hurting me?” And I was not sure if I wanted to stop hurting her.

“You just ridiculed me. Who are you to defend me?” My voice was stern. “She is my chosen one and you have just tried to slap her in front of me. It is not any of your business on how she chooses to speak to me. I decide”

“My prince. Do not be enraged. Forgive my daughter. For I have taught her how to behave with the Ravkans prince. She must have misunderstood my meaning”

“Jareth! Those are excuses. Explain to me why your daughter thought it was appropriate to hit a girl with no defense.” I released her arm with a little more force than I intended.

“You don't have to defend me. I am used to this. Soon you will leave and I will remain with my people. Whatever happens, will not be your business. Don't put me in more trouble” I heard the omega talk behind me and her subtle emphasis on the word “people”.

“Of course not Freyja. You are as special as everyone in the pack,” Diana interjected, it was obvious she was trying so hard to remedy her behavior but that pretentious behavior has no place in my understanding. I have learned all I need to know. Even though I have no use for the Omega, I won't leave her with these people.

“You are coming with me. You are my possession now” I turned to face her, she was sad. Her eyes were sad and I just wanted to hold her until I have melted the pain away from her.

“No, I am not” She declared confidently. I was not expecting her curt reply.

“You are getting me irritated. I will bundle you out of here if needs be” I said to her and for a second I saw fear in her eyes.

“Remember our deal?” She asked, her fear replaced with hope. Sometimes I just don't understand the way she thinks.

“No”

“Liar”

“The only deal I remember making with you is getting you out of here. And that's what I am going to do” I said to her and faced Alpha Jareth “Do you have any interjection about my declaration” What I should have asked before now.

After The choosing, there is a small acknowledgment confirming this is what both clans want and no rules have been broken in any way.

“Yes, my prince. If your dragon has picked her then she is all yours. We have kept our code of the bargain, it's not the time for yours” The old man said.

“Has there ever been a time when we didn't fulfill our own side of the bargain?”

“No, my prince”

“Good. then we are done here.

“Come” I realized she was not following when I got to the door. She stood still just where I left her without moving an inch.

“I don't want to waste any more time waiting here when there is obviously nothing wrong with you anymore” We will make the trip back tonight. Forgo will take us back, it will be faster that way.

She nodded. Finally cooperating, I thought.

“Good. We won’t be needing the rooms you have prepared. My people will be waiting for their new bride” I turned away from the room, leaving the alpha and his daughter in the room behind me, and at the corner of my eyes, I see her following me obediently.

“We will soon be in your new home. You will see that it is a smooth and fast ride. You will not even have to worry about how long the journey will take”

She nodded again, then asked “Bride? You mentioned it earlier”

“Yes. Their bride. . . You!”

“I thought you agreed to let me go. You just need to help me out of here and . . .” She paused, clearly devoid of everything she was going to say, but desperation in her voice.

“. . .And you will tell me the secrets of your beloved people?” Damn! This is the longest I have had to talk or explain myself to any female that is not beneficial to me in any way but she was different. She is the only female who is not afraid to stand up to me and that intrigues me. “I think you fail to see there is nothing that I don’t already know. So if you want our deal still on, find something substantial that does not involve betraying your people”

“You have no idea what you are talking about. These people betrayed me first. All that I have known, all that I have believed in. They hate me first. They treated me worse. You don’t understand a single thing”

“I don't care what they did to you. We will be riding on my dragon. It is faster” Drogo and the Ravkans with their dragons waited for me to give the next instruction. I liked that we never perform any action separately whenever we are out and away from our land. One thing the werewolves lack.

“You want me to ride on that beast? No!” That makes it the second time she is telling me an outright no, and I just wanted to strangle her.

“I will go with the rest of the girls,” She said pointing at the truck carrying the girls.

“No, you are not. You are going with me” I commanded, moving to hold her and force her to go with me.

“Rex calm down, your bride isn't running anywhere. She will be safe with me. Take it easy and give her the time to get familiar with all this. And you are welcome to travel with us if you want. Drogo will be fine, you only need the mind link”

“No, I will travel on my dragon. See that she is safe” I feel safer traveling with Drogo especially when she is the only one who understands the way I am feeling, and maybe I can understand why I am feeling the way I am feeling toward Freyja, the stubborn Omega.

“I will, don't worry, I will deliver your bride perfectly to you,” He said and that's all I cares to hear before mounting Drogo.

Whatever happens from here, I will gladly accept. Especially my flaunting feelings.
