Chapter Forty SixNaomi had really not been expecting to see Daykan waiting when she got back. It looked like he hadn’t left that spot since she had driven off.It was about 8:30pm. So he had been waiting for almost two hours; give or take. Naomi turned off her car and slowly stepped out. She wasn’t sure how this conversation would go but she was emotionally drained.It felt like within the past few hours, she had gone on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. All the ups and downs were starting to make her feel queasy. Naomi walked forward and stopped when she was standing in front of him. For a few seconds, she stared at him in silence and thought, why the hell not?She sat next to him on the step, stared straight ahead and placed her chin on her knees.She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. They stayed like that for some minutes before she finally broke the silence. “Daykan, what are you still doing here?” She asked in a tired voice. “I really don’t have the energy to do this
Chapter Forty Seven Naomi came face to face with Daykan’s warm hazel gaze.His hand was still on her waist and he was staring down at her with a wide grin.She couldn’t help but grin in return.“Daykan,” She sounded breathless. “How are you doin…”Daykan leaned down and captured her lips in a soft kiss.This was the second time he was silencing her with a kiss and she had no complaints. She could get use to this.Daykan tightened his hold around her waist and pulled her even closer. Naomi raised her right hand and placed it on his cheek.It was a gentle kiss.Daykan softly teased her lips open with his tongue and Naomi was glad to allow him entry.It was also a short kiss but it felt like time had been paused for hours.Naomi almost moaned in protest when Daykan broke it off. He could understand her protests. He wanted the kiss to go on for far longer.But there were other guys present at the gym. He didn’t want them watching too long and lusting after Naomi. Asides from kissing h
Chapter Forty EightNaomi had been so caught up in her romantic fairytale that she had genuinely forgotten that Terry was even in the picture.It had taken him showing up again at the gym to jog her memory of his existence. Daykan had occupied every nook and cranny of her mind.Damn!She really wished that she had sorted things out with Daykan before Terry’s arrival.Then she wouldn’t have gone out to dinner with him or given any indication that she was actually considering the thought of them getting back together.A simple “I’m sorry Terry but I have a boyfriend now,” would have done the job.Although knowing Terry, that would probably not have been enough to dissuade him.But at least he would have known her stand from the beginning. And she would have avoided having this conversation she was about to have with him. Naomi was a little surprised with how fast Senina had taken off. Considering how well she had hit it off with Terry the last time, she had expected her to exchange pl
Chapter Forty NineZekell looked horrified. He hadn’t expected that to happen.He stood up and rushed to Senina’s side.“Sen, I was only joking. Please don’t be upset. I innocently tease you all the time. ” He gently rubbed her arms and leaned into her face. “You know I would never try to hurt your feelings on purpose.”Senina’s tears stopped as quickly as they had started.She wiped her cheeks and smiled wearily. “It’s fine Z; just a needed outburst of emotions.” She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. “I’m fine now. I’m sorry for making you worry; I wasn’t crying because of what you said.”Zekell exhaled with relief. “I’m glad to hear that. It takes a load off my conscience. But I would still like to know what’s going on and if there’s anything I can do to help. I never want to see you sad.” “Well, those tears were a mixture of happiness and sadness. So, it’s not entirely bad.” Senina smiled ruefully.“If you’re okay with telling me, I would still like to know what happened.”“G
Chapter FiftyDaykan groaned with longing and deepened the kiss.He blindly reached out and dropped his glass on the coffee table as well. He was tempted to toss it across the room but he didn’t want to startle Naomi or make her question if she was dating a sane guy.He had better things to do with his hands than hold a stupid glass of wine.He turned Naomi around without breaking off the kiss.She moaned in appreciation of his smart thinking; now, it was easier for her to kiss him.She placed one hand over his neck and gently gripped his hair with the other.Daykan slid his hands down her body and cupped her butt cheeks; they were soft.Naomi wrapped her tongue around his and teased him. She slid in and out of his mouth; Daykan was losing his mind. Naomi softly bit his lip and he groaned in response. It seemed that his mate was naughtier than he had thought.He pulled her closer towards him and Naomi could feel his hot bulge against her crotch.Her pussy grew wetter and she ground
Chapter Fifty One“Daykan!” Naomi gasped with surprise.One second Daykan was staring at her pussy and the next second, he had latched on and was fervently lapping at her clit.Naomi felt like bolts of electricity were running through her body. She began cumming immediately!Her body started trembling uncontrollably. There was nothing she could do to stop the tremors coursing through her veins.This must be what it felt like to be struck by lightning. “Dayyyy… Day… ka… kan. Pleaseeeee…” Naomi whimpered helplessly.She wasn’t sure what she was begging for.The pleasure was so intense. Did she really want it to stop?People could die from too much pleasure right?She was supposed to know the answer. But right now, she couldn’t properly formulate thoughts.Daykan didn’t know what Naomi was asking for but nothing short of a natural disaster was going to separate him from between her legs; until he was ready, she asked him to stop or if she passed out. She tried to wriggle upward but he
Chapter Fifty TwoA grin spread wide on Daykan’s face.He couldn’t keep the joy out of his voice. “What can I say? I woke up on the best side of the bed.”Maybe it was more appropriate to say that he had woken up with the best person.“I can see that. I’m glad to see you happy Day.” Zekell winked with understanding. “Can I come in or I’ll be intruding? I wouldn’t mind leaving though. I shouldn’t have shown up unannounced.”“Are you crazy?” Daykan asked with mock anger. “My place is yours. Almost everything I have is yours too. I could never turn you away.”Daykan moved aside so Zekell could step into the apartment. He shut the door behind him and put his arm across Zekell’s shoulders.“I’m just so surprised so see you out and about. You rarely leave the estate. I can’t remember the last time you were in my apartment in town. I think it’s been months.” Daykan said thoughtfully.“Well, Sen has been hounding me to step into town and meet your terrific Naomi. She won’t stop talking about
Chapter Fifty ThreeDaykan put his finger to his lips in a ‘shhhh’ motion and walked to the kitchen.Zekell followed behind.Daykan sighed, folded his arms and leaned against the kitchen island.Zekell sat on a kitchen stool and rested his arms on the island.“Aren’t you going to say something?” Zekell gently pressed with a raised brow.“Things are just starting out and it’s going so well. I don’t want to ruin that.”“Day, you have to tell her eventually. I’m sure she’ll understand.”“She might think of me as some kind of monster. I don’t want her to be scared of me. But I guess I’ll understand if things get to that.” Daykan said with an air of finality.“She loves you. The Moon Spirit wouldn’t set you up with someone who couldn’t accept all parts of you.” Zekell said encouragingly.“You have a point.” Daykan conceded although he wasn’t a hundred percent sure.Now that he had embraced his flame, he was more confident but it wasn’t that easy to erase years of discrimination.Naomi migh
Chapter Sixty NineAfter the encounter with Naomi in the woods, Daykan had been in a daze.He had walked to his car stark naked, not a care in the world if anyone would see him; luckily that hadn’t happened.He had been conscious enough to slip into clothes and enter his car.But thirty minutes later, he had found himself parked in front of his apartment at the estate. By some miracle, he had managed to drive there without killing himself or anyone else. He had spent the day wallowing in misery.He looked at the clock and realized that it was time for the pack run. Maybe a run would help clear his head.But what would clear the debris in his chest from all the pieces of his broken heart?He wore a pallium and prepared to head out. Palliums are cloth made from a special material which wouldn’t rip apart when a werewolf transformed. It’s not always convenient to change back to human form and be butt naked. So they had appealed for something to be made.Word was the Moon Spirit had so
Chapter Sixty Eight“Moon Spirit?” Naomi was puzzled.Why was she shocked though?If werewolves were real, why not spirits too? “Yes. The Moon Spirit is our maker. We regard her as a divine deity. She’s basically our god. She’s the one who matches us with mates as well.” Senina explained patiently. “Only few werewolves are lucky to see her in their lifetime.”“Wow, and she appeared because of Daykan.” Naomi was impressed. “Yup, and in front of a number of people. My dad told me the story. He’s an Alpha too and had been waiting for Daykan’s delivery. He was against killing the baby but it wasn’t his pack and he was outnumbered.Until there was a sudden flash of light and she was floating in front of them. Although it was a sad situation, seeing the Moon Spirit is one of his best memories.” Senina smiled fondly. Xinoc’s face always lit up when he described the Moon Spirit.”What did the Moon Spirit say to them?” Naomi was fully interested in this story and not just because it concer
Chapter Sixty SevenSenina froze for a second.She had thought about this moment more than a few times. The day her best friend would finally find out that she wasn’t human.She had mixed feelings towards the whole thing.Would Naomi accept her for who she was or be terrified?She hadn’t pestered Daykan like Zekell had about telling Naomi the truth about what he was.She had been content with the convenient stalling.She had tried not to be worried about it.After all, Daykan and Naomi were fated mates. So there was a high chance Naomi would accept him for who he was; and in turn, her.Over the years, she had heard stories about other werewolves who had revealed themselves to humans. Some didn’t take it very well.In fact, there was a popular story passed down from generation to generation, about a male werewolf who had revealed himself to his closest friends. They had drugged him and then taken him to the authorities. This was one of the reasons for the strict rules about humans kn
Chapter Sixty SixNaomi stared at Daykan.The image of Sharon’s mutilated body was seared into her memory for life. It was heartbreaking to think that one of Daykan’s kind had done that to her; unprovoked for that matter.Sharon was such an amazing person and she had ended up just being food for a monster.All her dreams and accomplishments had been for nothing. But could she really blame Daykan for that?No one was blaming her for the serial killer they had recently caught in Texas just because he was a human being like her.He hadn’t done anything to harm her or someone she knew.If she pulled the trigger, wasn’t it just coldblooded murder? Those were the thoughts her brain was filling her mind with.Her heart was on the same page with her brain but for different reasons. This was Daykan; the man she had once thought was the love of her life.She couldn’t just erase all the moments and laughter they had shared. All the whispers of passion he had murmured in her ears during lovemak
Chapter Sixty FiveThis was never how Daykan would have wanted Naomi to find out.But now, the cat… umm… werewolf was out of the bag.Ever since Senina and Zekell had left the gym, his mind had not been at rest.Naomi had never mentioned resuming at the clinic today; and he was curious about the way she had found.So he had hurried down here and traced her scent to the woods. He saw her in danger and had barely been aware of changing. The next thing he knew, there was a wolf in his mouth and he was tearing the thing apart.In spite of the situation, Naomi almost laughed at how stupid she sounded.How could she even have thought this monster in front of her was her boyfriend? She was still sitting on the ground. Her gun had fallen close to her leg. All she needed to do was carefully reach out and she could grab it.Who was she kidding? The gun hadn’t been able to stop the tiny wolf. It certainly didn’t stand a chance against this huge beast. The one that had killed Sharon.The creat
Chapter Sixty FourNaomi got to the clinic, switched off the ignition and just sat in the parking lot staring at the steering wheel.But her mind wasn’t in the jeep with her. It was already in the clinic.She hadn’t been back there since that night. Anita, Dan and Sophie were the ones who had cleaned up.They were also the ones who had been handling things in her absence. Although the clinic currently wasn’t as functional as it used to be.Someone stopped by daily to take care of the in house patients, otherwise it was locked up. And all the townspeople knew that if there was any animal related emergency they had to put in a call so a staff could be there to take care of it.All other appointments had been put on hold.But Naomi thought it was time to finally fully open up for business.Earlier on, she had called Sophie and informed her that no one needed to worry about coming into today. She would take on the duty of feeding and checking on the animals who were admitted at the clini
Chapter Sixty ThreeNaomi was almost certain that she wasn’t making a mistake. She needed to do this.She was at home but was getting ready to go to the clinic.Well…. the clinic and then the woods to see if she could track down what had killed Sharon.She was mumbling to herself and ticking off any items she needed from home for this little expedition.She heard the doorbell and looked up in surprise. She certainly wasn’t expecting anyone.When Senina walked up to Naomi’s front door and rang the doorbell, the last thing she had been expecting to see was a neatly put together Naomi answer the door.From the way Daykan had been worried, she had expected to find Naomi in faded house clothes, looking unkempt, Cheetos stains on her cheeks and a few pieces in her hair.But lo’ and behold, the vet was dressed in blue jeans and a black t-shirt. Her waist length jet black hair was pulled back into a ponytail.She definitely looked like she was stepping out. Hell that was an understatement. Ju
Chapter Sixty Two Daykan opened the door and was met with Senina’s bright smile.He opened his arms wide and grinned. “Sen, I’m glad to see you. It feels like it’s been forever.”Senina giggled like a five year old. “Day, it’s been only two days.” She protested lightly but still happily walked into his embrace.Senina had recently taken on a job in a hospital a few towns away. It was strictly by appointment so she didn’t have to be there all the time.She knew that most of the other werewolves could not understand why she was wasting so much time on human healthcare when it would have made the most sense for her focus to be on werewolf health issues.But she hadn’t spent years studying Medicine to specialize on only werewolves. She would treat anyone she could. Hell, if a vampire walked up to her right now with a gaping wound, she would get down to business; and werewolves weren’t the coziest with bloodsuckers. Daykan stepped back to allow her come in and sniffed the air suspicious
Chapter Sixty OneSince that night, the Wraeken had been unable to describe exactly what had been going on in its mind. It thought that it had lost the ability to feel worthless emotions. So where were all these feelings of frustration, anger, irritation and disappointment coming from?Once again, it had been so close to having the human who possessed that special scent it craved. But it had been unrightfully denied the opportunity.It was tempted to just storm into the town and take what belonged to it. But any foolish decision could ruin its future plans.It wasn’t yet strong enough to the point of invincibility that would allow it openly reveal its existence. However, in due time that would change.For now, it would just angrily pout and throw its own version of a tantrum at being denied its highly coveted toy. It just laid around and growled. It wasn’t even in the mood to hunt. For a beast that was only concerned about its hunger, who would have thought that such a day would ev
