97 Bella She sat looking at Bridgit laying there on the bed before her , as she heard Axels voice come from the ensuite , where she had last seen anything at all .
She had once again been rendered unconscious , by her own wolf , this time and not Selena , and she knew it , shed not seen Selena anywhere .
Shes alright , Bella told him as he came from the bathroom .
Everything will be fine now .
Axel was standing there staring at her a little uncertain , she thought , What did you do ? he asked .
I did nothing .
She answered him honestly .
Freya , however , I dont know .
I cant explain it , but she did something , told me that Bridgit and her three daughters will be just fine .
She told him but didnt tell him the rest , that would freak him out and stress him for months on end .
So she kept that last bit to herself .
W … What ? he stammered as he looked at Bridgit .
That is all I know .
Freya is a mystery even to me , she stated simply , it was the truth .
Three ? She smiled a little as she watched him sit on the bed , when she moved aside for him to do so Yes , triplets , all girls I believe .
She stood and watched him reach out and touch his Mate , take her hand as Bridgits eyes fluttered opened , and then she looked about and frowned at where she was and sat herself up .
What happened ? she asked .
I dont know .
Bella answered her I was unconscious , like yourself and Axel , she stated .
Bridgit looked up at her from the bed and frowned at her , then leaned forward , and her eyes widened quite a bit .
Bella , whats wrong with your eyes , are you in pain ? No , and nothing .
Why ? she frowned and found both Axel and Bridgit staring at her now .
She didnt feel any pain , though she knew Freya was sleeping .
It kind of felt as though she was looking out from behind her eyes , a heaviness to her mind .
She turned and looked about the bedroom .
There was nothing wrong with her eyesight .
She saw a mirror , walked over and looked at herself and her naturally dark blue eyes were no longer all dark blue .
< 97 She blinked as she saw iridescent blue around the pupils of her own eyes .
Freya ? she tried to raise her beast and got nothing for a long time then a snort of annoyance came from within her mind .
Bella didnt understand that , and then a moment later she saw Freya open her eyes to look out at what she was seeing and saw that there was something wrong with Freyas own eyes .
Your eyes are white .
She told Freya .
Normal , Freya answered and closed her eyes once more .
Your eyes are fine , shes just looking is all .
She could feel how drained Freya felt , and it scared her more than a little .
Are you dying ? Bella asked worriedly .
Was this what shed feared over the years , with Freyas eyes getting less brilliant over time .
No , I can never die , that is my destiny .
My work here is done , Ill only wake once more .
Let me sleep .
And Freya curled up inside her mind and was sleeping again .
Bella stared at her reflection and bit her lip , wondering what the hell was going on … Freya could never die ? That was her destiny ? Shes just looking ? Her work here was done ! She thought about all of that as she stared at the brilliance of the blue in her eyes and then turned and excused herself from the suite .
She needed a minute , likely more than a minute .
Bella wondered now if Parker was right after all ? Freya wasnt her wolf … but shed been with her for her entire life .
How was she supposed to deal with something like that ? What was wrong with Freya ? Who was Freya and would she just slumber now until Bella herself died ? Would she just move on to another when then happened ? She found Parker standing in front of her at the top of the stairs that led up to the alpha floor , and she stared at him .
She was more than confused and didnt even have anyone to talk to about this .
No mother or grandmother , no one … it was just her , Whit and Milly .
I think … Freyas she felt the catch in her throat and tears well up .
Is … leaving me .
she stumbled over the words .
She didnt want that .
No one wanted to lose their wolf .
She saw him step over to her .
Itll be alright .
He told her gently , Ill be right here , he pulled her gently into his chest and held her as she felt a sob rise up and then escape her .
I , I dont .
Shh , he hugged her .
Youve got me , youll always have me Belladonna .
I will never leave you .
Vex and I will still be right here even if you lose Freya , he murmured .
She knew he was trying to comfort her and reassure her , that if she became wolf less he would still be there , but she didnt want to become wolf less .
I … I need to … 2/4 < 97 Just breathe , he told her .
Take a moment and try to settle down , +8 Points > Whit and Milly .
She half whispered I cant … let them see me like this .
She looked up at him .
Your eyes are different .
He nodded .
Why ? he asked .
I dont know , Freya … something is wrong , her eyes are different , all white now .
White ? he frowned .
They werent before ? No , kind of … she bit her lip and heard a snarl echo inside her mind , loud and angry sounding , and she shook her head as she stepped away from him .
She saw Parkers own eyes go very wide and knew hed felt it .
He stated , That you nearly told me … he sighed a little .
Just leave it , I dont need to know , if she doesnt want me to know .
Bella nodded and wiped her tears away .
Im sorry I dont normally … she looked at the tears on her fingers and wondered what the hell was wrong with her .
She couldnt even recall the last time shed ever cried , didnt think that she had ever actually cried about anything .
Dont normally ? Parker prompted her .
Cry … I dont think Ive ever cried before .
She looked up at him a little more than confused .
He smiled a little at her .
Its okay , you sound like youre having a stressful day .
Howd you know where I was ? she frowned .
Axel mind linked to me something was wrong with you and where you were .
I came right away.
he told her .
Where is Milly ? he asked .
With Whit , I was taking a tour of the hospital , and asked him to watch her for a bit .
She answered .
Parker nodded .
Your eyes are very different , that is not going to go unnoticed , though pretty .
He smiled at her .
Very pretty actually .
Parker, now is not the time … He chuckled softly .
Sorry , but they are .
Come on , lets get you a cup of tea , and you can take a minute to explain what you know happened .
Before we go off and find the children , let them see your eyes .
Try and come up with an explanation of what happened .
We can use my office .
He told her and slipped his hand into hers , to lead her downstairs .
She just nodded and walked with him , trying to figure it out for herself .
She didnt really understand what was going on and Freyas words confused her , but that angry snarl inside her 3/4 < 97 +8 Points mind , she knew that had not come from Freya at all .
Parker had thought it had , but it wasnt .
It had shocked her completely to hear such aggression from within her .
Freya never got that angry.
She herself never got that angry, and it now worried her to feel such anger and aggression coming from within herself .
If she had another beast , was it going to be all aggression all the time ? She didnt want that , for herself , for her children , for those around her even .
