Heartbroken By A Hunter - Freya Rose Series Book Two

Chapter Eight - You like what you see?

Freya's Point of view:

Mason did a pretty good job of taking my mind off of the weird way that Evan had acted after I fell on him, butt naked. But now that Mason was in the bathroom, doing god knows what, my mind began to obsess again.

I mean what the f**k was that look all about? And that wink, what was that? Like I know Evan and I flirt a bit and he did yank down his pants and show me his p***s that one time, but I just thought it was some harmless fun. When did it become something more in his eyes? Or was I just overreacting?

Maybe he was winding me up or something? YEAH! Yeah, that definitely sounds like something Evan would do. Make me all paranoid about him being into me then take the piss out of me for it and be all like,

"So you've been lying in bed thinking about me have ya Angel cakes?"

Then make it look like it's me that has a crush on him just to wind up Mason. Oh, I bet that's his game, well I figured out your game Evan! I thought to myself with a sense of achievement.

Now to work out how to play this, hmm..

"Fi, your baths ready," Mason said sweetly.

I snapped out of my thoughts and looked over towards him, my heart skipped a beat when I saw him with his wet messy hair just sitting above his gorgeous green eyes. He was shirtless and resting his shoulder on the door frame of the bathroom while he wiped his hands on a towel.

He had on a pair of grey jogging bottoms that sat perfectly on his hips showing off his sexy V line. I bit my lower lip as I scanned over the god that stood before me.

"You like what you see?" He asked in a husky voice.

I blushed as I looked up into his beautiful eyes, he had a huge cheesy grin on his face and was obviously holding back a chuckle.

I sexily swung my legs over the bed, pointed my toes the lot then stood up. I strutted over to Mason then ran my hand seductively across his face as I passed him and entered the bathroom. Mason let out a low growl as his face followed my hand like a dog with a delicious scent.

I turned to face him then gradually removed my dressing gown. First I let it slip down across my shoulders then I slowly began to open it letting my supple skin show little bit by little bit. He licked his lips then grinned as I dropped the robe to the floor. I then turned away from him and bent over slightly and gradually slid my lacy thong down my long silky legs.

I grinned to myself as Mason moaned. I made it look like I was going to kick off the thong but instead I booted the door with the sole of my foot slamming it in his face.

"Hey! No fair!" I heard Mason whine through the door.

I couldn't help but chuckle at him as I stepped into the bath then lowered myself into it's warm and fluffy suds.

"So Mason what's the bath in aid of? You could have just told me that I stink and I would have hopped in the shower!" I shouted out to him.

He chuckled then shouted back,

"I have a surprise for you tonight, I bought you an outfit, it's laid out on the bed for when you get out of the bath, So get yourself all dolled up, for tonight my Fianna we celebrate!" He sounded so excited.

I went to reply but I heard the bedroom door click shut so I figured he'd left. A little while later I heard the bedroom door click again indicating that someone had entered the bedroom.

I tried to sniff the air to catch Mason's scent but between the scented candles and lashings of bubble bath, it was an impossible task. I assumed it was Mason, as who else would have the nerve to just let themselves into my bedroom uninvited?

I finished bathing and decided to tease Manson a little more so I towel dried my hair and shook it around a bit. I checked myself in the mirror to make sure I didn't look too much like a drowned rat.

A couple of scrunches through it with my hands did the trick. I dried my body and took a deep breath then exhaled as I prepared myself to walk back into the bedroom completely naked. Plastering a demure look on my face I swung open the bathroom door then froze.

"Evening sweet cheeks," Evan purred as his eyes scanned up and down my extremely naked body.

I let out an ear piercing scream then immediately slammed the door shut. My heart was racing and cheeks burning hot with embarrassment and anger, I grabbed my dressing gown off of the floor and quickly put it on then flung the door back open. Evan had made himself comfortable on the bed, he was just lying there with his arms behind his head clearly not doing what I wanted him to do, which was leave!

"Aww, I preferred you without the robe." He whined with a cheeky smirk on his face.

I walked over towards the bed and replied,

"tough s**t, you damn creep, now get your f*****g boat feet off of my dress!" I shouted at him as I slapped his sneaker.

"Oh s**t, sorry Angel cakes, my bad." He apologised then instantly got off of the bed.

I picked up the dark red floor length dress then walked over to the wardrobe and hung it on the door.

"Why the hell are you even in here Evan?" I questioned while folding my arms across my chest.

He rubbed the back of his neck then looked back up at me. I scowled back letting him know I was beginning to get pissed off.

"Ahem, well Mason sent me up to put those shoes and that box with your dress, while he finished up a few things for your surprise." He said quietly and pointed over to two boxes on the bed.

"Right, ok I get that, but why did you stick around afterwards?" I asked in a dominant tone.

He ran his hand through his messy, light brown hair making it raise up then fall back down landing just above his eyebrows.

"Um, well I wanted to be straight with you...." He paused and looked towards the door. I guess making sure no one was coming in, then looked back at me and continued,

"I like you Freya, I mean really like you. I know I shouldn't, I mean your my cousins Fianna and I'm with El...." He moved closer to me and took both of my hands in his.

I half expected to be jolted with electrical sparks or burn from the inside with the usual fire I get from Mason but there was none of that. I mean don't get me wrong he was super hot and if I wasn't with Mason then I probably would go out with him. But even though I was attracted to him there was no magical sparks like I had with Tristan or like I have with Mason.

My thoughts were interrupted as Evan continued with his confession,

"I can't help it, Freya. I've felt like this about you for a long time now and god knows I've tried to ignore it, but I just can't. Then when you fell on me completely naked I knew I just had to tell you." Evan paused to search my eyes for a response.

I guess he saw the shock I felt as he dropped my hands and backed away from me lowering his head towards the floor.

I softened my face and moved closer to him placing my hands on his face, then said sweetly,

"Thank you for being honest with me Evan, that was so brave. But you're right I'm with Mason and I'm in love with him. If things were different then I'd definitely give us a go, but they're not and I really hope this doesn't affect our friendship because you are one of my best friends and I love you, dude!"

I grinned at him and to my relief, he smiled back. He then pulled me in tight for a hug. I was so glad he didn't take my rejection the wrong way, I would have hated for our friendship to be ruined.

Still holding on to me tight and in pure Evan style he asked,

"So you'd totally hit this right?"

I quickly slapped him around the back of the head

"Ow! No need to get violent Angel cakes, I was only joking!" He whined as he held the back of his head.

I giggled at him and he flashed me a wink.

"Now get ready or you're gonna be late for Mason's surprise!" He ordered as he walked over to the door.

He then turned back around to look at me and said,

"Love you Freya." Then he left the room and gently closed the door behind him.

I put on the stunning dress that Mason had bought for me. It was dark red in colour with long sleeves, it dropped to the floor and had a long split up the right leg all the way up to the middle of my thigh. The material was soft and clung to my body perfectly, showing off all of my curves.

He'd matched it with the same colour stiletto heels and matching clutch. I styled my hair in loose wavy curls and natural makeup. I then walked over to the bed and opened up the black box that Evan had brought up. Inside was the heart and Angel winged necklace that Mason had bought me for my birthday.

I read the words aloud,

"Always on my mind, Forever in my heart." I could now finally appreciate the meaning and sentiment behind it and didn't hesitate to put it on. All ready and holding my pendant between my fingers I waited patiently for my Fennid.

Mason's Point of view:

Everything was all done and the surprise for Freya was complete. I picked out some clothes to match the dress I'd bought Freya. I had on a dark red shirt, black suit trousers and black shoes. I made my way up the stairs to her bedroom then stood outside her door for a moment preparing myself for the beauty I was about to lay my eyes on.

I guess trying to pretend your not stalling behind the door was pointless, I'd forgotten about her wolf senses and she slowly pulled the door open. I gasped in awe when I saw her.

"Freya, you look absolutely amazing!" I complimented her. She blushed and swept a piece of hair behind her ear.

"Thank you, you look great too." She replied in a shy voice.

The dress looked fantastic, hugging all the right places. I wanted to run in there and forget all about the surprise and rip her right out of that dress. But I managed to control myself and instead held my arm out for her and said,

"Your surprise awaits you my Fianna."

Freya's Point of view:

Mason lead me along the hallway then down the staircase, he then led me towards the back doors and then took my hands in his.

"Freya I love you so much and I wanted to show you how special you are to me. We all love and respect you and we wanted to welcome you as our new Fionn!" He was so excited I didn't have the heart to tell him I was now shitting a brick.

I took in a deep breath and prepared myself for Mason's surprise. He opened up the large wooden doors and the air instantly erupted with the cheers, whistles and clapping of over a hundred hunters.

The massive field had been decorated and a large marquee was placed in the middle of the grass, inside it had tables and chairs framing a dance floor and it even had a stage with a DJ.

On the front of the marquee was a huge banner and written on it was the words Freya Our Beautiful Fionn.

I was so overwhelmed, I couldn't believe everyone's attitude towards me had changed overnight.

I leaned into Mason and asked,

"Its beautiful Mason, thank you. But don't they all still hate me because I'm a werewolf?" I whispered it into his ear so that no one else could hear me.

I kissed his cheek to make it look less conspicuous, the crowd instantly cheered with excitement. Mason leaned in to me and whispered,

"They did, but when we had our joining, it cemented you within the faction and each one of them now has a permanent connection with you." He said as he looked out towards the crowd.

I followed his gaze and saw hundreds of hunters staring at us with such love in their eyes, like we were royals or something.

"Also, you are a Phoenix like me. Not many hunters are born with the gift of flame power, Freya. They would be stupid not to accept you. With you and I together leading this group we will be the strongest faction that's ever existed." He said with pride.

He kissed me softly then pulled back. He had a beaming smile on his face, he was full of excitement and pride and I had to admit, how he just explained it made to me made me feel amazing too. I felt so powerful, and looking out onto the crowd of hunters clapping and cheering I felt like I finally belonged.

The party was amazing, everyone was so happy and the drinks were flowing. They all welcomed me as new Fionn and I felt like royalty. Everyone wanted to talk to me and spend time with me, they even asked questions about what it was like to be a hybrid and they actually seemed interested in my response.

Not one of them looked at me with disgust or disdain. It might have been because they were very drunk. I did notice that hunters are surprisingly very happy drunks, sometimes too happy in fact. I don't know what was in the drinks but everyone, and I mean everyone was enjoying themselves. Even resting b***h face Carmen was letting loose on the dance floor with me.

I mean I know what the hell right? Not a scowl or dirty look in sight. I could get used to this, I thought to myself as I shook my booty in time to the music.

"FREYA!" I heard a girl squeal in excitement.

I looked up from the dance floor and saw Amelia sprinting towards me. I hadn't seen my sister since that first time that I'd come here to meet my dad. I'd asked Mason about her and my brother Isaac and he'd said that they had moved in with our aunt Hannah and her daughter Imogen. Carmen used to live there too but she moved into the hunters house just after my first visit. I guess she wanted to keep her eyes on me.

"Ooff" I let out a groan as Amelia collided with me.

Like the first time we met, she picked me up into the air and bear hugged me. I had to tap her shoulder to let me go as no words were able to escape my lips.

"Oh, sorry, Freya!" She apologised as she placed me back down on to the dance floor.

I finally managed to catch my breath then asked,

"How have you been? How's Isaac? I'm sorry I didn't keep in touch, life's been a bit..." She quickly cut me off and replied,

"Don't be silly Freya, daddy told me everything that was going on with the werewolves and I understand completely. After daddy died and you got stabbed, we wanted to come and see you but Mason said you needed your rest."

I looked into her soft light green eyes and smiled. I didn't understand why Mason had kept my siblings away but I guessed he'd had a good reason, maybe he felt they were too young or something, but they had lost just as much as me and I was determined to make it up to them?

"Hey, you wanna dance with your big sister?" I asked her.

She squealed excitedly and nodded like a crazed bobblehead. We danced around like maniacs for about 30 minutes. Arms flying everywhere, scissor fingers across our eyes, she even taught me how floss and dab and I think I was pretty darn good at it too.

Suddenly the music slowed down and I spotted Mason making his way over to me, I smiled at him and Amelia followed my gaze.

"Ah, I think that's my cue to leave." She grinned at me then hugged me.

I kissed her cheek and waved to her as she made her way over to Evan.

"Hey gorgeous, you having fun?" Mason asked in a husky but slightly drunken voice.

I smiled and replied softly,

"I'm having a blast, thank you so much for all of this," I swept my arm around pointing to everything, nearly knocking out a few people in the process,

"It really is amazing, I love you so much."

I stumbled forwards a little as I tried to hug him. Luckily for me he wasn't too drunk to catch me. We both giggled then he asked me,

"Do you wanna dance?"

He stepped back and held out his hand for me, I smiled and took his hand. He held it up in the air and twirled me around. He then flipped me back into a dip and kissed me. I blushed as a few people on the dance floor cheered and wolf whistled. He effortlessly lifted me back up and placed his hands around me then grabbed my butt and pulled me into his chest. I laid my hands behind his neck and we began to sway in time to the music, never once taking our eyes off of each other.

At the end of the song he leaned in and placed his velvety soft lips onto mine. The kiss was perfect, no tongues, not messy or rushed. Just a meeting of two peoples lips, savoring the feel of one another.

Before it had a chance to develop any further we heard Evan scream,

"BEER PONG!"

Everyone cheered and hollered, Mason looked at me with pleading in his eyes, like a kid itching to go play with his friends. I rolled my eyes at him and said in a casual tone,

"Go on then!" As I shooed him away with my hand.

He jumped up and down like an i***t shouting,

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

He then kissed my cheek and sprinted over to the table. Ah, screw it! I thought then screamed,

"BEER PONG!" As I sprinted over to join them.
