Chapter 34: Chapter 34

Freya

I was glad to know that he hasn't been with Selene yet. I don't know what I would have done if it turned out that he had been with her before. I knew, for a fact, that I would be angry. I knew that things wouldn't be good if I confirmed that he had sex with her already. I will be so enraged to hear that. I'm happy that nothing has gone wrong between the two of them. I feel happy knowing he hasn't had sex with anyone before, just like me.

"What were you thinking when you asked that question?" I heard Lucius's voice, and I chuckled before replying. I knew things might have gotten complicated with his reply, but I'm glad it didn't. I feel happy that things are working out the way I want.

"I was just curious, and I'm glad that nothing has happened between the both of you, and I said because you have already kissed her," I said, making a puppy face while staring at him.

He smiled at me cutely before poking my head lightly with his fingers. He had a satisfactory smile on his face, and I knew that something would have wanted to tempt him into having sex with Selene, and I knew with no doubt that it would be Selene. I knew from the look in her eyes the day I took Lucius away that she was someone who was naughty, and I'm glad that he didn't get tempted by her. I was going to ask him about it, but I decided against it. I knew that things might not go as I had planned if I asked him; I was going to ask him what Selene had intended to use in tempting her.

"I know you have many more questions to ask, but I'm not answering any. I know you to be a person who isn't easy to decipher, and I know that whatever you want to ask isn't going to be a pretty cool one," Lucius said while staring deep into my eyes. I scoffed with a fake frown on my face. I knew that he had read through me. I was glad for that and also sad because I won't be getting away with things easily with him.

I was shocked at how quick I was at flipping into a jovial mode. I know that I'm not someone who cries easily or gets lost. I know that this isn't happening right now. I knew with no doubt that if anything were to happen to him during the duel, then I wouldn't be myself. It's hard for me to lose someone, but after that, it would be hard for me to lose that person. I knew that I shouldn't blame him if he loses the duel because there is no way someone as average as him will win the duel against Alpha, but I pray that the impossible should happen.

"Freya, what have you been thinking?" I heard Lucius say as he tapped my shoulders, jolting me out of my thoughts. I felt my heart stop beating at that instant. I knew that I should not mention it to him because I'm scared of him losing the duel. I knew he would feel bad for being born as an omega.

"Don't tell me you have been thinking about what's going to happen tomorrow; you don't have to worry about that; we still have a long way to go," he said, and I nodded my head, knowing that he was right, but I'm not ready to admit to him that I was guilty of what he just said.

"Nothing; I was just thinking of what we can do tonight," I said in defense.

"Lucius, I was meaning to ask you this since, but it always skipped my mind. I don't know if this is the perfect opportunity to ask," I said timidly while staring at him with the corner of my eyes, and he heaved heavily before replying.

"Yes, you can, but I hope it's not one of those you asked me earlier," he asked while staring at me with an accusation look on my face.

"No, if it isn't," I said, and there was a long pause in the room.

"I was wondering how you have the tattoo of the..." I started while staring at him intently, wanting to know if I had his attention, and I continued when I saw I had his attention.

"Do you perhaps remember anything from your childhood?" I trailed off while staring at his face for explanation, and his face was contorted into a look of nervousness.

I knew from the look on his face that there was something about the whole thing. I knew that there must be a story behind the face he made, and it looked like he regretted something, but my curiosity is getting the better of me. I knew that I wasn't considerate enough because of what I was saying and doing. I knew it might look like I'm some kind of selfish b*tch whose sole purpose is to make things work according to her plan.

"The truth is that I know nothing about my childhood; it was like it never existed, and the only time I remember is when I was little with Selene; that's my only childhood memory that I remember," he said while staring at me truthfully, and I couldn't help but sigh heavily. I knew that whatever made him forget about his childhood memory must have taken his lycans' powers.

I knew that I should have asked him this since, but it has always skipped my mind. I wasn't someone who would forget things easily, but when it comes to Lucius, I tend to forget things. I knew that there would have been a way out of all this if I had asked this question before when I found out about him.

"Do you have a clue on that, or maybe something that can make us know more about all this ?" I asked, hoping that he had an explanation for all this. I knew that, without a doubt, if he were to give an explanation, it would make things easier and faster.

I knew that all this should have been asked of me before and that coming late isn't good. I knew that even if we were to find a way to make things right, he wouldn't even be able to fight the alphas off in the duel. I knew that there was no way I would be able to get the solution, and even if I did, he wouldn't be able to use his powers in the duel, which might weaken him.

"I knew that this might sound weird, and it did to me. The alpha said I had an accident while I was a kid, but I doubt if the accident is responsible for this. He said I had a head injury while climbing a tree in the pack, and I ended up falling down onto the ground with my head hitting a big stone. It was said that I lose my memory, but I don't believe that because anytime I try going back into my memory lane, it is like force repels me," he said, and I couldn't help but be vowed with his reply. I knew that his reply was honest and truthful because of the look on his face.

"Why don't you ask..." I was saying before I was cut off by Lucius who stared at me with a raised eyebrow.

"It would be great if you don't ask any more questions because we might spend the whole night talking about this and it is already too late for anything to be done to stop it" Lucius said while staring at me with a sad smile on his face.

I knew he was pained about it but he tried hard to hide it but it was still evident in his eyes. I knew that he wasn't happy with the fact that he might lose his mate to another person who he doesn't even know. I know it is hard for him and so is it for me. I knew that there was nothing pleasant in this since he wasn't as strong to be able to beat them in the duel. I knew that he was just trying his best to hold up and not give up.

"We can just spend the night like other couples and talk, you can't say if this would be our last night together," I heard him say and I knew that he was right. There is no need for us to wallow in thoughts like this when we can still make use of the opportunity at hand.

"Yes, I guess that will do" I said and he smiled at me showing off his cure dimples. I stared at him as I admired him and most especially because of his cute dimples.
