A VISIT
Freda's pov
I wanted to have a conversation with my father face to face so I traveled to see him, he was expecting me because I met him standing at the gate of his castle.
"Father!" I called out with a wide smile on my face as I made my way to him, it was funny how there was a certain time I had hated seeing him and now I was very excited to see him.
He had grown softer towards me, it was weird but I was getting used to it. His arms were wide open and I jumped into it. He kissed my forehead and led me inside where Lilly had come out to greet me too. We talked, and she sounded very excited that I was back.
"You did not come with Christie?" She has asked.
"She's busy back at Valthrun, so I am here alone," I told her and we talked for a few minutes more before I finally had time to have the conversation that brought me here with my father.
"You must be here for a reason seeing as you just arrived not too long and you're already here," he asked, taking a seat in his office.
I settled down opposite him as I tried my best to explain why I had come.
"I don't understand," he said, sounding extremely confused.
"I and Damien have agreed to go ahead with our mating ritual and there is a possibility that once we've shared blood I might turn vampire," I said, waiting for him to process what I had just uttered.
"I disagree with that! He already took you, now he wants to turn you into one of his, I will not allow that!" He said angrily and I sighed, I guessed he was going to prove difficult and it was why I didn't allow Damien to follow me, it would have been worse with him around.
"Father, listen to me, right now you need to understand t-"
"I understand what you are saying Freda, I just don't agree with it," he said.
"You said he wants to turn me into one of him, but what am I?" I asked and he was quiet and staring at me like I had just uttered the most ridiculous words.
"What do you mean by that?" He asked, sounding irritated.
"I am neither wolf nor human, what else is going to go wrong that I can't handle, Elara said I couldn't become one"
"Elara the witch?"
"Yes, we spoke to her some days ago and she explained everything to us, I might never turn but I decided to tell you still in case it ever happened, I mean nobody can predict anything at this point, and I am telling you because I need you to be there for me In case it's too much for me to handle"
His eyes softened and so did his body language, he was calm now and I could tell.
"I want a family of my own, I never thought I-"
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in" my father's voice boomed loudly throughout the room and Kara's head popped in.
"Hii, I heard you were around, I hope I am not disturbing anything," she said looking back and forth between me and my father.
"Not really, you can come sit," I said and she closed the door behind her taking a seat beside me.
I filled her in on what I had told my father and without even having to explain myself further she understood and was in total support.
"Does your mother know about this?" He asked and I smiled.
"She was the reason I even thought this far, she knows about it and is also in support" I answered and he sighed.
"I know you want your own family and everything Freda but you're still so young and have not enjoyed the fine things of our world yet"
"I know, but I can do all of these things with Damian as my husband, pretty sure he's open to anything that makes me happy," I said blushing and Kara hit me on the shoulders.
"Fine, if you want to start raising a family now I am in support as well, you are my daughter and I want the best for you," he said finally giving up, I hugged him and told him I was going to be spending a few more hours with Kara before I leave.
"The ritual huh" Kara said the moment we left my father's office and I smiled.
"Yeah, do you think it's any different from ours" I asked and she frowned.
"I don't think so, well except the whole blood exchange part I think it's pretty much the same, it's just sex, well a different kind of sex, more intense and long, I heard that it's going to be like you guys have never had sex before and you'd just keep going at it, and it takes long, sometimes three days, you know how we go into ruts and heat, well it's like that feeling only it's a bit more intense and painful I guess"
I paused and turned to look at her with a horrified expression on my face.
"Did you just say painful?"
"Well it might be different with the vampires but for werewolves, it hurts," Kara said and I raised my brows. I hope it was only for werewolves because I was not interested in anything that was bound to cause me pain.
"Don't worry even if it hurts, the pain will be masked by the amount of pleasure you would feel, and I heard the saliva of a vampire is like an intoxicating ecstatic drug, when it happens please I wanna know all about it" Kara said sounding excited, my heart was pounding loudly in my chest as I grew even more excited, I couldn't wait anymore, and I also needed to be home with my king.
"Kara I shall take my leave now," I said and she blushed.
"You should," she said winking and I hit her on the back.
"Say my goodbye to Lilly," I yelled from the gates, I didn't wait to get a response from Kara as I hopped back into the carriage that had brought me. On my way back to Valthrun the only thing I could think of was how much I wanted to claim Damien.
