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

Chapter 53

Chapter 53 My entire body froze up. I barely had time to warn Jaxon before the person made their way out of the shadows. I let out a sigh of relief when I realized it was just Jared. I couldn’t help but mentally face palm at how slow my responses were. If it were someone who wanted to hurt us then I would not have been able to defend myself or warn Jaxon in time and we both could have died. Your majesties,” he bowed although I saw him flash a discreet sule in my direction. “I was tasked to give you the letters of congratulations from your well wishers. Am I to leave it in your office or “We will have it. 1 reached out to take the massive stack of letters in his hand. Thank you. Are you sure they are from well wishers?” I was still hesitant about receiving letters especially after what had happened the last time with Kiara but when he nodded, I allowed some of the tension bleed out of my shoulders. He bowed once more and disappeared into the darkness the exact way he came As he left. I turned to Jaxon. “Do we actually have to read them all “Unfortunately, yes, he murmured and I resisted the urge to groan. “It is customary that we read all of them and respond to them. It is a sign of respect and honor to the leaders. It is important to build a good relationship with your subjects.” “Being a ruler sounds hard” He led me quietly up the stairs and into our room. We were greeted by a few maids and guards but none of them stayed to chat. As soon as we got in, the first thing I did was strip off my dress. I was tired and I wanted nothing more than to change into a pair of pajamas or one of Jaxon’s oversized shirts and just snuggle under the blanket. I rushed into the bathroom and scrubbed off every last trace of makeup off my face. When I got out, the first thing I noticed was the smell of food. It wafted around the room and my stomach grumbled loudly. Jason chuckled and I looked up at him sitting by the headboard He had a large tray filled with food and my mouth watered. Without another word, I rushed over to the bed and plopped a fruit slice into my mouth.

“You are a life saver.” I murmured under my breath as I kissed hum He laughed and just pulled me into his side. He brought out the letters and I narrowed my eyes at him. “It would be more productive if we read them right now Tiet out sigh and packed up the first one. Most of the letters were very respectful and just simple congratulations. I figured a formal letter respouse would be enough as a reply to their letters. We read while we ate and by the time I was done eating. I was already duzing off 1knew five more minutes and I would be fast asleep I was about to give up on the letters when I caught sight of the name on one of the letters. I reached forward as if possessed and pulled it straight towards me Jaxon glanced at me out of the corner of his eye as if concerned but I couldn’t be bathered to pay attention to him I glanced at the hamur in shock and confusion I had hoped I read it wrong but it turned out I did not.

He had turned his entire body towards me “Freya, what is it?” and I could see that his hands were raised as if to reach out to me but unsure. “That’s Alpha Noxian,” I said after a beat of silence. “That was my first mate and the man who left me for my sister.” If it were another time, the expression on his face would have been comical. His face shifted from confusion to annoyance. then shock. He took the letter out of my hands and ripped it open. His eyes flew over the pages so fast that I was unsure if he was actually reading the words. By the time he was done, I could feel the anger radiating off his body and if it were a cartoon, there would have been steam coming out of his ears, “What does it say?” I reached out for the letter but Jaxon kept it out of my reach. “Jaxon, I have a right to see it.” “You will,” he assured me but stood to his feet. “Put on some pants, WEI need to talk to Aiden.” I didn’t know what was happening but I knew it was serious so I threw on a pair of my sweatpants, I was sure I was a sight to behold in Jaxon’s shirt that reached almost my knees and my sweatpants but I couldn’t bring myself to care, Jaxon intertwined our fingers and led me out of the room and towards the council room. Aiden was already there when we arrived and I assumed it was because Jaxon had mind linked him. He looked even more exhausted than we did and I almost felt guilty for calling him out to handle the problem but I knew Aiden would never complain. He was loyal to a fault and that was one of his most endearing qualities. “I’m assuming this is important.” Aiden drawled as he took a seat and crossed his legs on the table. Jaxon was so annoyed that he didn’t even notice Aiden’s feet. Instead, he dropped the letter in frontNôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

of him. Aiden raised a brow. “Do you want me to respond to your letters?” “Read it,” I implored and Aiden sighed then picked it up. His brows furrowed as he took in the words. “Can you read it out loud! I don’t know what’s in it.” Aiden glanced at Jaxon as if asking for permission and I figured that it must have been very bad for him to not want to say it out Jaxon reluctantly nodded and Aiden cleared his throat and grimaced as if he could not bear to repeat the words. Can someone tell me what the letter said?” I asked suddenly getting very agitated. “Congratulations, Freya,” Aiden began slowly, “I never would have pegged you for someone who was so ambitious. You tried to rope me in with false claims of being my mate and when I rejected you, you decided to leave me and sink your claws into the king. I have to admit that is smart even for you.” “One thing you seemed to forget during your planning is that people saw you publicly claim me as your mate. I do not enjoy bring double crossed and right now, I have lost all interest in Vidlet. As I was your first mate, I have the rightful claim over you. We can discuss this later over a meeting. I look forward to hearing your response on that.” The room went deathly silent after that. No one dared to utter a word or even breathe too loudly. It was not that I was very moved or affected by the words in the letter, it was that I was confused and shocked on what to do. “When are we scheduling the meeting?” I asked finally breaking the silence and both men turned to me with scrunched brows “We might as well hear what he has to say” “His inviation does not need to be honored” Jaxon deadpanned “There is no reason whatsoever why we should be speaking KIPS VIRTUAL 111 ADMISSIONS OPEN Prepare for Medical, Engineering, CS & Business Entrance Tests 17+LMS Ox

I thought you would have called this to discuss a way we can meet with him that would be safe for both parties.” Jaxon sighed and ran his hands through his hair in frustration. “I want to know how we can stop him from contacting us ever again.” “You can ban his letters or his calls but he will find a way. I wasn’t trying to make Noxian look stronger or better than he was; I was just stating a fact. It was obvious that he wanted to speak to me and I knew that he was not going to stop until he go that. We might as well just do what he wants so that we could check our boxes. “She has a point,” Aiden piped up and Jaxon turned to him with a look filled with betrayal. “We don’t even have to go to his pack and he does not have to come here. Technology is a thing and we can just schedule an online interviewTM I could tell that Jaxon still wasn’t sold on the idea and I didn’t completely blame him. I had never spoken much about my old mate but he knew the basics. He knew that he had rejected me for my sister and right after, I was sold to him. A part of him blamed Noxian for everything that happened. “Jaxon.” I reduced my voice into the softest whisper I could muster. “You know this is the best option. You are going to be there the entire time. He cannot hurt me through a screen.” Jaxon hesitated for a second before sighing. “The moment I get any hint of foul play, the conversation is over. “Crystal.” I nodded but I couldn’t help my victorious smile. I turned to Aiden who nodded and stood to his feet. He picked up the letter and put it in his pocket. Is that clear?” “I’ll respond to the letter and schedule the meeting.” he turned to walk towards the door but he

stopped directly next to me and whispered so low that Jaxon couldn’t hear. “I hope you know what you’re doing. If this flops, Jaxon will skin my hide.” “Everything will be fine.” I wasn’t sure if I was trying to convince him or myself but he sighed, turned on his heels and walked out. It was just Jaxon and I in the room. Jaxon was not pleased with the decision that had just been taken but he was going to stand by it. In the meantime, I needed to prepare to meet Noxian.
