The Legend of the ruthless Empress Freya

Chapter 35 A Sweet Night Before The Storm



-- POV Gaya --

I had finally managed to say those words that had been burning my lips for so long and even more so this morning. Freya was still watching me with her piercing violet eyes and smiling. I could see her canines sticking out which gave her a wild and very seductive look.

"I know..."

Her voice was commanding but soft at the same time and tickled my ears. I hadn't even started to respond when she was already speaking up.

"I think I'm in love with you too. I've never experienced love but everything I feel for you, my emotions, my beating heart, I think I can't be wrong. Actually no I'm sure....I love you too Gaya."

As she said these words, she knelt in front of me gracefully holding my hand as if I were the most precious thing in this world.

"Gaya...I'm not the nicest, calmest person..hum..to tell the truth I'm quite the opposite. I lived a first life far from love, tenderness and company of anyone. My heart is wounded and I thought I could never love in my whole life. I like to torture, to kill humans who deserve it, I am addicted to fighting, cruel, sadistic and I even enjoy hearing the screams of my enemies. I have many more faults than qualities and I have been called the Empress of Ice since I was born but if you accept it, I would like you to become my wife. I don't really know if it works like that in this world but officially become my wife...marry me."

Her words instantly made me cry with happiness, I had never felt this way before and the joy that washed over me was not possible to describe. Her words were clear, her voice determined and still dominant despite her words because..well..Freya was still Freya. She was indeed ruthless, cold and frightening but she was also loving, caring and protective of those she loved. It should not be forgotten that except for her and Shiro, I myself was rather cold and dominant with the others. Certainly not as much as she was, but because of that, I didn't care if she was imperfect, ruthless, if she liked to kill and torture...I didn't care either because I loved her.

There she was, beautiful, terribly attractive and staring at me with her hypnotic eyes. Empress Freya...the one who was about to take over the world was kneeling in front of me and asking for my hand. The beauty of her face and her hair blowing in the wind made it impossible for me to concentrate, to think and to speak. I felt like I was living a waking dream.

Coming back to my senses I hurried to answer to show her how my heart had already decided long ago.

"Yes !...yes, yes, yes, a thousand times yes !"

I was happy, so happy ! To think that the woman of my life was that she-wolf who had once threatened and hurt me when we first met. I knew that theoretically I was already her wife, but making it official like this made the moment even more magical and wonderful.

*Mom...Dad...I finally found the only one who makes my heart beat !*

Freya held me in her arms, smiling and enjoying this moment alone while I let my emotions run wild. The rustling of the tree leaves accompanied the sound of the wind as under the sky we embraced as if there was no tomorrow.

"After the battle with the humans, you will become my one and only wife."

Saying these words, Freya kissed me passionately again as if to seal this promise of marriage. She held me tightly in her powerful arms that always made me feel protected from any danger. Her lips were perfect and her tongue was soft. Her kiss was slightly bolder than earlier and I could feel her usually cold body getting warmer as our kiss intensified.

My mind didn't seem to be working properly as we ran away from each other breathless with stars in our eyes. I could see a bestial gleam appear in Freya's eyes before she stepped towards me again to bury her face in my neck. I could feel her warm breath and I could feel the she-wolf's fangs graze my skin giving me goosebumps. She then gently ran her tongue up my neck as she seemed to growl driven by her primal instincts.

I couldn't help but let out a moan and a small cry as she bit the back of my neck and then attacked my ear which she also nibbled. I could feel that I was red, my heart was racing and I was hot...very hot.

I felt trapped by a wild beast again, but it was not an unpleasant feeling. To be honest I was enjoying every moment as if Freya would wake up from her second state any day. Seeing this younger woman so powerful, so beautiful, so wild possess me in this way was driving me crazy.

"Gaya.."

The she-wolf whispered my name with a warm breath into my ears, I felt her hands grab my hips more firmly as she easily carried me down from the rock. Once down, she pressed me against the rock to kiss me harder as this time her hands went down to my buttocks to squeeze them tightly.

"Freya I.."

I didn't know what was happening to me because it was the first time, but feeling her dominate me like this only made this experience crazier. I wanted her to make me her wife, I wanted her to keep kissing me all night long and for this moment to never end.

The she-wolf broke our kiss and as I watched her lick her lips with a look of desire that showed her sharp teeth, her stunning amethyst violet eyes seemed to devour me.

-- POV Freya --

The beautiful dragoness was in front of me, she belonged to me and I wanted to spend the whole night knowing everything about her. It was like a dangerous desire coming out of nowhere and controlling my entire body and mind. Gaya was breathing heavily as I could see her red face and chest heaving with her breaths.

"I acted without thinking...I'm sorry."

I could only apologize for the behavior I had exhibited. When she had told me that she was officially accepting to become my wife my mind had gone blank. At that moment I absolutely wanted to make her mine and in the second, but I should not rush her. Everything was fast, maybe too fast for her.

"This..this is nothing. I was surprised but to tell the truth...I liked it."

Stunned at her answer, I looked up to see her body shaking and her breathing still heavy. Her dress made her look very seductive if not sexy and her crimson locks of hair falling on her chest made me want her all the more.

*Control yourself, damn it !*

I struggled inwardly not to attack her further as I approached her again to whisper in her ear.

"I want our first night to be special, let's finish our journey first, save the races to be saved and after that I will marry you with our daughter and all my subordinates as witnesses. Once evening comes...we can pick up where we left off."

Gaya nodded with an adorable smile as she placed a light kiss on my lips in acceptance.

"I will then look forward to that amazing day and night you promise me."

It was her turn to wink at me mischievously as she climbed back up onto the rock.

*Oh ?? You're much less shy now ! Don't worry, you'll never forget the first night we'll spend together ! Kufufu~*

Licking my lips as I imagined what I was going to do to her, I went back to her side to watch the surroundings. I hadn't turned into a wolf after all for obvious reasons and also because there were finally two of us to watch so I knew there would be no problem.

Under the still full moon, Gaya's head was resting on my lap as we enjoyed this sweet starry night that neither of us would ever forget. She was falling asleep as I could hear her say two last words before entering the realm of dreams.

"Thank you..."

Morning was breaking as I could hear a little girl gently waking up in the tent. I hadn't slept all night as my body and mind were still reeling from the events of the evening. It didn't matter because I wanted to watch anyway, but I had to admit to being distracted at times by the woman sleeping silently in my lap.

"Good morning mommy"

Shiro whispered these words to me as she gave me her daily hug as always trying not to wake Gaya.

"Good morning my sweet little moon, did you sleep well ?"

I was in a good mood and full of energy despite my lack of sleep.

"Yes ! Thank you for the pillows it was very comfortable !"

While I was smiling at Shiro, Gaya was slowly waking up as she raised her head resting on my lap. I thought to myself that she was still beautiful as I placed a light kiss on her pink lips.

"What about you my love ? Did you sleep well ?"

Gaya answered me shyly with a nod as a little voice I hadn't heard since nightfall manifested itself in my mind.

[Eeh ??? Onee-san, what did I miss ??]

*Sorry little sister but this is a secret that only Gaya and I share kufufu~*

[Haha~ I'm happy for you then! You look so happy...]

*It is ! I'm trying to enjoy our little quiet moments as well because soon we'll have a long battle ahead of us !*

If everything was going well we should reach the Dark Forest within 3 days which was perfect ! The sooner we got there, the more efficient my army's organization would be. For the moment I was betting on the cooperation of the different races that were fighting against the humans at that very moment. I knew that the law of the strongest reigned, but I did not want to rule by violence anymore. In this world we all had to stick together and I had sworn to myself that I would become the link that would bring all races, all species together under one banner...that of Empress Freya.

I did not want to impose my way of thinking or my authority on them, I would only take under my wing those who decide to follow me of their own free will. It won't be that easy, because even if the races are fighting together today, there is no guarantee that this will still be the case once this story is over. The races in this forest were nothing like the ones in Syn's forest, their levels could go up to B level and maybe even higher. It was up to me to convince them, to rally them to my cause and if I had to prove my power and superiority, I would do so with great pleasure.

"Freya, I didn't ask you this before but what do you plan to do with Shiro once you get there ?"

It was a very pertinent question that reminded me that with all these events I hadn't told Gaya what I had planned.

"Actually I would like you to stay with her. We are heading to a place we know almost nothing about, meeting people who may not be as kind as we think. I know your power and I know you can protect our daughter ! For my part, I will strategize in great detail to make sure nothing can bring us down."

The dragoness understood my choice to leave Shiro to her, until we were sure we were in the presence of real allies, it was impossible to entrust our daughter to strangers. We were going to meet warriors who had been fighting continuously for several weeks.

"Are you sure you can prepare a foolproof plan ? I trust you, of course, but I know as well as you do that humans are deceitful."

"Well, if they are deceitful, I will be manipulative, calculating, bloody and ruthless ! I will leave no human alive in this forest and if I have to I will use all my power to exterminate them."

The end of this little journey was going to be red with blood and littered with bodies but I was sure of one thing...I was going to win.

I was going to win to mark with a red stone my advent and the beginning of my legend. I was going to win for those who believed in me and who were dear to me. I was going to win because I was Freya..and I always won.

I didn't know it yet, but the events of the Dark Forest would earn me a new nickname to add to my collection.

[N/A: Maybe some people will think their relationship is moving too fast, but don't forget Freya and her hybrid wolf instincts that face the full moon. Also, there won't be a huge amount of room for romance once the Dark Forest is in sight (next chapter), hence my choice to leave the system out a bit and focus on Freya x Gaya !]
