Third Person
Freya was still looking in front of her, unaware of Matteo approaching. She was too engrossed with the memory that just flashed in her mind and was trying to know whether it was hers or someone else. “Hey,” she was startled and looked at her mate, “Is there something wrong?” he asked,
“Oh, I don’t know.” she replied, confused.
“What do you mean?”
“Well, I was looking for you and thought that you’d be in the palace, so I’m here. Then I noticed that the lights in the room were open and they were not right now.”
“What do you mean the lights are on, there was no one in there? That’s where the king accepts visitors from packs and tells him their
concerns.” Matteo replied, “And the lights are off.” he added, looking at the room.
“Yeah, I can see that, but earlier I thought I saw it and then a child was looking inside.”
“What child?”
“I don’t know, maybe about 8 or 9 years old.” she replied, “She was looking inside and I can tell that she was worried and, at the same time, hopeful,”
“Baby, are you sure?” he asked and she nodded.

“Why? Do you think I am seeing things?”
“No, it wasn’t like that. Of course, I believe you. I will always believe in you,” he replied, and she nodded,
“Anyway, where have you been? I was looking for you because I wanted to talk to you about something.” she said when she decided to just forget about what she saw and think that she was just hallucinating or just seeing things and blaming the tiring event for it.
“I was with Calvin and James discussing some security measures,” he replied,
“Did something happen? Have you sensed something? Is someone in trouble?” she asked continuously.
“It’s nothing like that. There’s no way that an enemy will be stupid enough to come here and make a scene. They would not choose this time because they knew that everyone was here to gather and they would only get caught because security during this time is really tight to ensure your safety and the king.” he replied, “Now, what is it that you wanted to tell me?” he asked, looking at her intently.
Without Freya knowing, he had been really worried about her. Ever since she told him about having a nightmare, he hadn’t got a decent sleep waiting for that to happen. He saw how peaceful her sleep was, but in the morning, she would tell him that she had dreamed of being in the palace. Until one night, he was watching her in her sleep and thought that nothing was going to happen. But Freya suddenly screamed, “Daaaaad…”
“No, mom… he’s going to kill Dad…”
“Mom, come on,”
“I promise mom, I promise. So get up now, please…” She was screaming and crying at the same time. Matteo wanted to hear more

but he couldn’t take it anymore. The pain in her voice and the look on his face, pained him, so he decided to wake her up. Freya opened her eyes and noticed that she was sweating,
“Bad dreams,” she said, “But I can’t remember what happened. All I know is that it was a very bad dream,” she added. Matteo hugged her while he calmed down and soothed her. He didn’t want to see her this worried.
When she calmed down, he let her go back to sleep and he stayed awake just in case her dreams reappeared, which he was thankful for, because it didn’t. Every night he had been doing that, watching and looking after his mate, trying to know what her dreams were about.
