~Third Person POV~

"She's beautiful," Ailee says to Freya, this is the first time in the past week Freya has been out of her rooms and it's to baptize her newborn daughter. Demetri and Marcus have kept Aleksander from seeing his mate while everyone is awake due to this is the first time in a long time that they have been together in the same room.

"Thank you" Freya holds Andrea to her, everything around them is blue and silver-so many people have come to dress in those colors. Right now, Freya is wearing a navy blue a line dress and her hair is up in a bun.

"Hello" Freya looks over and is shocked to see Aleksander here "Princess"

"My Lord" she curtsies "what a pleasure to see you?"

Aleksander smiles to her bowing "pleasure is all mine" looking down to the baby "you have a beautiful daughter, what is her name?"

"Andrea"

Aleksander grinds his jaw "after your husband"

"No" Freya quickly corrected "after my close friend" before Andre died, he killed Andrea and her son who turned out to be his bastard son.

"Princess" the two look over to see Marcus and Demetri come over, Marcus sees the bright mate bond between them.

"Your highness" Aleksander introduces them "this is my uncle Marcus and my cousin Demetri"

"Nice to meet you" Freya smiles to them

"Nice to meet you too" they bow before her, Demetri then says "my cousin, hasn't stopped talking about you"

"Really?" Freya asks looking over to Aleksander who stares at her.

"Yeah" Demetri nods his head "actually...if you hadn't married Lord Andre he would have swept you off your feet then"

"Oh look Demetri" Aleksander nods his head over to Mary's ladies "single ladies, shouldn't you go find a wife?"

"I'm good" Demetri crossed his arms "so Freya, did you know that Aleksander is single?"

"I did not" shaking her head

"Uncle?" Aleksander looks to Marcus "shouldn't you go and help Demetri find a wife?" Marcus is silent before nodding his head.

"Come Demetri" Marcus waves his hand "let's find you a wife" Demetri pouts as they walk away leaving Freya and Aleksander alone.

"Um" Freya says "I mean no offense Lord Ozera, but I am not ready to find love but maybe we could get to know one another as friends"

"Friends" Aleksander nods his head "I completely understand" even though deep down all he wants to do is turn her and hide her away from everyone.

"Oh" the couple looked over to see Catherine coming over, Catherine is determined to have Freya be the Queen of France and not Mary. She believes that if she has Freya marry Francis, then the alliance is still on and she loves Freya more than Mary "there is the beautiful princess and her baby"

"Queen Catherine" the two curtsy, Freya introduces them "Catherine this is Lord Aleksander Ozera" Catherine looks at Aleksander surprised. She is now thinking that with Aleksander here, her plans will be derailed.

~Time Skip~

"Hello Andrea" Aleksander holds Andrea in his arms as Freya sleeps, it has been a few hours since the baptism. Aleksander has gotten to meet Freya's other children and is determined for them to forget about Andre.

It's very late tonight and Andrea got a bit fussy so Aleksander picked Andrea up "I'm your papa" Andrea looked up to Aleksander and smiles to him giggling, and he smiles back down. Freya who has become a light sleeper was about to go to her baby's bassinet hears Aleksander and is confused as to why he is calling himself a father to her baby "I may not be your birth father, but you, your older siblings, and your mother are mine" Freya smiles as she hears that, she is unsor why she is happy when she hears that but she is happy "one day soon I'm making your mother my wife for she is mine and no one else's, I will kill any man who comes near her with the wrong intentions" Andrea giggles, Aleksander smiles "I will do whatever to prove to your mother that she is mine"

Aleksander kisses Andrea's forehead as she falls asleep, setting Andrea back down in her bassinet Aleksander goes over to Freya. Freya stays calm as Aleksander sits down on the side of her bed before kissing her forehead "I'm so sorry la mia regina for not being there for you against your bastard of a husband, in due time I will tell you the reason as to why I didn't steal you our the twins away from Andre but one day I will. I have watched you every day for years, not being able to get you for...reasons but you are mine make no mistake about that" when Aleksander leaves, Freya opens her eyes and sits up crying.

"Why am I crying?" Freya mutters
