The only one of his kind

Chapter 29 your anchor

''so, where are you going? If you don't mind me asking''. ''oh, I'm going to meet up with aunt Freya''. ''oh, Freya is in town?'', Nick said as he raised his brows. ''yeah. She and my cousin came to visit. So, I'm meeting them at the grill''. ''oh yeah totally understand that. I haven't seen her since...'', then Nick stopped as he remembered when he last saw Freya. The day Klaus and Elijah sacrificed themselves. Since then he hasn't seen her or any of the other remaining Mikaelson's, well other than Hope.

''well, since that day. Either way. Have a good time Hope, say hi from me. Oh, and also there's also a party later at the old mill. Jed is making me to come. You should too, hope to see you there'', he said giving her a smile. ''yeah, I think I will'', she said smiling back at him.

He was about to go, when suddenly Hope stopped him by grabbing his hand. ''wait'', the tribrid said. Nick turned around ''yeah''. ''would you like to come? I mean come with me to meet aunt Freya and Nic?''. Nick looked at Hope with a surprised look on his face, then it turned to a light smile ''yeah of course. If it's okay?''. ''for you it's always okay'', she answered. Nick smirked at that comment ''good, we'll take my car then''. Hope nodded, then they began to walk towards his car.

20 minutes later

They just parked the car. Nick was the one who stepped out first. He then began to rush towards Hope's side of the car. Opening the door for her. ''what a gentleman Nicholas'', Hope said as she stepped out of the car. ''only for you ms Mikaelson'', he answered.

They walked towards the grill. Where they saw Nic and Freya outside, sitting at the table. Freya saw them to and winked them over.

''aunt Freya'', Hope said giving her aunt a hug. ''my lovely niece'', Freya said between the hug. As they both parted away Hope looked at her cousin, saying ''is this my not so little cousin''. ''yes I am'', the little boy answered. The four year old boy went to Hope and hugged her. Nick couldn't help but feel butterflies in him. He knew Hope was good with kids, and it warms his heart to see how good she is with them.

He got snapped out of his trance by Freya speaking ''Nicholas is that you?'', she said looking at the hybrid. He looked at her, giving her a smile ''indeed it is Freya. Long time no see, huh''.

Freya looked at him from top to bottom ''wow Nick. It's been what three years or so, and you have grown. You're taller, muscular and handsomer'', she said as she touched his shoulders. ''aunt Freya'', Hope said in a embarrassed voice. Nick just laughed at that and answered her ''gee thanks Freya. Good to know. You are still beautiful as always''. Freya smiled at him ''thank you Nicholas''.

After that conversation. They sat themselves down. Freya and Nic sitting above Hope and Nicholas.

''so, Nicholas how's the family?''. ''oh, they are fine. Dad's still working with his own bourbon industry, mom's a doctor and Stefanie is Stefanie''. ''that's good. So, I heard you figured it out?''. Nick looked at Freya with confusion in his eyes ''figured out what?''. ''you know that you're a hybrid'', she whispered only for them to hear. ''oh, yeah that's right'', he said the same time as nodding his head. ''how are you feeling? I mean how are you adjusting and all that?''. ''well, I'm feeling good actually. I'm adjusting well. I mean at first I was a little nervous and all that, but now I'm good. I can control myself as to turning...'', Nick got cut off as Hope scoffed.

He looked at her as he began to speak again ''well, mostly I can control myself. Sometimes when I'm angry or something my eyes begins to glow, or my face just shifts to wolf form and maybe my claws come out too. However, I can mostly control myself. Oh, and I can shift into fully wolf whenever I want which is so cool. Though mr Saltzman wants me to shift every full moon for some months that are coming. To get more control or whatsoever. Either way I can thank your niece here for the help. I was about to turn the day of my birthday, my first turn. A day before the full moon but Hope somehow helped me like she was...'', then he got caught off again by Freya. ''your anchor''.

Nick looked up at her ''yeah like my anchor. So, I didn't turn before the next day as of the full moon. I was in chains which sucked, but when I turn now I don't have to be tied up. Now I can run free as long as I can control me. Which I can most of the time''.

As Nick was finishing speaking Freya couldn't help but smile. She was looking at both her niece and the boy she knew her niece had eyes for. When Nick told her about him almost transitioning and Hope helped him.

She knew that she was his anchor and to have someone to be someone's anchor was special. No one could replace that easily. You can have either things or people as anchor. For it to be a person, must be special. You have to have strong connection to that someone. That was the thing Freya knew from all along. She knows the bond between the hybrid and the tribrid are stronger than just being friends. To be honest she doesn't know if she has ever seen a love like that between two people before Nick and Hope.

''aunt Freya'', Hope yelled in a whispered tone. Freya caught it and looked at her niece ''oh, yes Hope?'' ''you okay there?''. ''yeah. Was just thinking about something. Either way let's order''.

All looked at the menu and decided what they wanted. ''waiter'', Freya yelled and someone came. ''hello, what would you like to order?''. Freya looked at the two teenagers and said ''you two can order first''.

Hope was about to speak, but Nick got there first ''she would like to order the burger with the fried and ketchup on the side. Not all but she also wants peanut butter blast with whipped cream on the bottom'', he said with a proud smile on his face. ''oh, and for me I will just have...'', he got caught off ''he will have the iced coffee with caramel sauce and cream on the top. Also pancakes'', Hope said looking at Nick with a smirk on her face.

They all ordered, and the waiter went inside with their orderings.

Nick looked at Hope just smiling, she was looking at him too smiling. ''you remember'', the hybrid said. ''so do you. Guess we both remember what the other one likes'', she said giving him a nudge on his shoulder.

Freya saw this and smiled at them saying ''you two are a cute couple''. They both immediately looked at Freya with redness on their cheek, at what she just said.
