It was then that I realized
That forever was in your eyes

Freya's POV

Lucien, Rebekah and Elijah are working non-stop on the plan regarding Luke. Few Strix members already flew here in London to protect us. I don't know how Elijah suddenly ordered the Strix to come here but I'm sure Marcel doesn't know that few of his club members are missing. Just like before, Luke keeps sending me gifts and flowers which practically getting Lucien over the edge. These past few days, Lucien is slowly drifting from me and I don't know why. He would just communicate with me for a few minutes then he would just leave which I find confusing and weird.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I can't help but smile.

"I can't wait to see you in five months, darling. Right now, mommy and daddy have to clear everything out before you come out, little one. So your tiny hands should hold on tight okay? Mommy and daddy will protect you no matter what." I lovingly said as I caress my stomach. Then I felt arms wrap around me securely locking his arms around my stomach.

"Is mommy being dramatic again,little one? She likes to stress herself out. Its kinda her hobby lately and daddy is indeed worried." Lucien said. I glare at him in the mirror and he kissed my cheeks.

"Love, stop stressing yourself out. We got everything figured out. Little one doesn't like you like that." I roll my eyes and lean myself on him. Elijah was the one who invented that "little one" nickname and obviously everyone decided to call him that as well. Lucien turn me around and kiss my lips passionately. I put my arms around his neck while his are firmly locked on my waist. Its been a long time since we've been this intimate and I know he is just resisting himself because of my pregnancy. We are now making out on the bed with me on top of him. I pull out my lips from him and remove my shirt. I was about to kiss him again but he stopped me.

"What's wrong?" I look at him confused. I'm still straddling him and I can feel the bulge in his pants.

"We have to stop,love. We can't do this and you know why." He said trying to stand up but I stop him.

"Lucien, I know you want to. I can feel it. Please,love." I pleadingly said. He sighed and look at me in the eyes. He slowly remove me from him and stand up.

"Freya, we can't endanger our child. " Lucien sadly said. I stand up from the bed.

"Endanger? Seriously? Its just sex, Lucien! I know you want to! Damn it!" I yelled at him. He ignore me and walk out of the room. Argh! Stupid vampire! Stupid hormones! I undress myself and went inside the bathroom for a cold shower. I decided to soak in the bath tub for a few minutes. Lucien still infuriates me and I don't want to see him now.

"Freya?"

"In the bathroom." I replied. Rebekah then open the door and walk towards me.

"I brought you food. Lucien cooked it for you, sister." Rebekah said. I roll my eyes at the mention of his name. Rebekah laughed at my reaction.

"He declined you." Rebekah stated. Of course! She heard that probably the whole house heard it.

"He is being unreasonable! I know he wants to. I can see it in his stupid eyes!" I exclaimed.

"He is just being protective, Freya. Try to understand that. We all know how much he needs that but right now , he know he can't." Rebekah said. I remove myself from the bath tub and wrap my naked body in a towel.

"I still hate him. Bring the food with you. I'm not hungry." I said walking back to my room and enter the walk-in closet. I heard the door close meaning Rebekah walk herself out of the room. Walking back to the room, I saw Lucien standing in the middle of the room.

"Stop being stubborn, Freya. You should eat." Lucien coldly said. I remove the towel on my body and start dressing myself.

"I will after I dress up so you can see yourself out of my room" I coldly replied as I finish dressing up. I faced him crossing my arms over my chest.

"Freya, stop this childish behavior. You know how much I wanted to be intimate with you just not right now, love. Things are complicated and we have to ensure first the safety of our child rather than fight over this issue." Lucien explained.

"Just get the hell out of my room, Lucien." I coldly said. He tried walking towards me but I used my magic to throw him outside of my room and slam the door.

"Freya! Stop using your damn magic!" Lucien yelled outside the door. I get under the cover of my bed and find myself falling asleep.

Lucien's POV

As soon as I hear Freya's steady breathing, I walk towards her room again to check on her. I know she beyond mad at me for rejecting her. I open her door and saw my beautiful angel sleeping peacefully on her bed. I walk towards her and sit on her bedside.

"I'm sorry, my love. You don't know how much I wanted you especially when you are standing naked in front of me a while ago. Its just complicated right now, love" I said as I caress her face.

"You should know better than to reject a woman, Lucien." a voice said. I turn around and saw Rebekah leaning on the door frame.

"I know. I'm just afraid that I might lose control and hurt her, Rebekah. I don't know what's happening to me. I called Althea but she didn't even know why I can't control my emotions lately. " I explained.

"You should tell Freya about it then. She has the right to know about it, Lucien."

"I don't know what to do, Rebekah. Luke is not the only danger for her and the child but also me. Telling her would just stress her out and she might do something stupid again. I can't lose her and my child. They are my world now. They are my everything." I said holding Freya's hand. I heard Rebekah sighed.

"If you don't stop pushing her away then you will definitely lose them. Try and make her understand what you are going through, Lucien. " Rebekah said as she walks away.

"I will kill Luke in every way possible if he has something to do with what's happening to me now." I said. I lower my head to Freya's stomach and kissed it.

"Little one, if daddy lose his mind would you protect mommy for me? I know you will do it little one because you promise mommy that in her dream. I would do anything to protect you and mommy even if daddy would die in the process. Just remember that I love you so much my little one." I sadly said kissing Freya's stomach again and left her room. Now, I think I have to pay a visit a certain lunatic.
