Naomi's POVFor the next few minutes that followed, I was exchanging words with my wolf who was determined to drive me crazy with her mockery.If only I could separate myself from her, I would be relieved but there was no way I could do that except to block the link binding us.Doing this wouldn't be an issue for me but whenever I decided to take this measure against her, getting her to speak with me when I finally cool off was a chore and considering what was happening right now, I wasn't in the mood for that and so I allowed her to keep on mocking me.With my hands resting on my thigh, I shut my eyes tightly, trying to forget about everything but I just couldn't.Moments later, I was pacing to and fro.Fortunately for me, my wolf had decided to stop mocking me and so I was in total solitude, thinking of nothing in particular.The only thing ringing through my head at that moment was the union between Alpha Baron and Isabelle.It wasn't as if I wanted him to myself even if I was stil
Naomi's POV It was already a few days after the Alpha's ball, still yet, I couldn't get my mind off the event that had happened. If asked to give a comprehensive talk of every single activity that had taken place during the ball, I had no idea. It was as if I wasn't there when in the real sense I was present. Locked up in my room that night, I cried my eyes out until I couldn't shed a single tear anymore. It hurts that Alpha Baron now had someone to cleave onto, whereas I had none. The thought was driving me insane with each passing second despite all my attempts to forget about him. At this point, I began to imagine if this was how Alpha Baron felt when I kept rejecting him for ninety seven times in a row. The thought was even what made the intensity of my tears increase, keeping me at the edge of my seat as I stared at the wall all through the night. Because of my disheveled state, I had been unable to step out of my room, not to talk of visiting the daycare. I had miss
Naomi's POVKnowing fully well that Albert wasn't going to let go of me even if I tried all the tactics I could come up with, I allowed him to grasp me even more tightly.“At this point, you should stop. Speak out and if there is anything that can be done to help you, I will. I promise to go any length to make it happen.”“There's nothing wrong. You should learn how to mind your business.”Exhaling, I pushed my head backwards, “How many times have I warned you to stay away from matters that pertains to me. Just in case you have no idea, it's sickening and at this point, all I want is to bash your face.”“As if.” He scoffed and then let go of my arms, making me wince slightly as a sharp pain shot up to my brain nerves.Smacking my lips, I turned around in readiness to leave. I was still hungry but with Albert's presence here, making a meal was going to be the most difficult task I was ever going to attempt.“Aren't you hungry? You haven't had anything for three days now. Alpha Jethro h
Reader's POV That night, trying to escape from Albert's teasing, Naomi found her way to the bar. This was going to be the first time she was going to be there and so she was a little bit frightened but at least, she wasn't with Albert who was driving her crazy. Immediately her order arrived, she filled her glass with the alcohol she had ordered. Taking a sip from the glass made her shut her eyes tightly as the burning liquid made its way down her throat. Biting her lower lips, she took another sip from the glass only for her to set it on the table, her face scrunched up as the bitter taste lingered in her mouth. “I shouldn't be here in the first place, I bet it's the moon goddess trying to punish me.” She mused. One thing she was grateful for was the dim light that was in the bar and so it would be difficult for someone to spot her easily. Now resting against the table with her hands clasped in front of her, she began to nod to the rhythm of the music, seeping from the sp
Writer’s POV For the next few minutes, Albert just sat there, his eyes glued on the bottle in front of him. If he had known she was going to spew the words he wanted to hear during the day in her drunken state, he wouldn't have bothered trailing after her, damning the consequence. At the moment, the only thing that was ringing in his head was how he would be able to separate her from Alpha Baron. Just as Alpha Baron wanted her for himself for the powers that she possessed, Albert wanted her too. Not only because of her powers but because he would be able to access the throne he had been fantasizing about through her. “Naomi, you really need to forget about Alpha Baron. You're not acting like the authoritative figure that you're.” He yelled amidst the loud noise in the bar, thanks to the music blaring from the speaker and the loud voices of drunken men and women who were there to get wasted. Leaning towards her, he grabbed her hand and then gave it a soft squeeze. “Believe m
Naomi's POV It was my aching head that forced me out of sleep this morning. Grasping my head with both hands, I swung my feet off the bed and then groped my way towards the bathroom. Knowing fully well I would be looking like I was homeless, I didn't bother staring at the mirror as I did my morning business. Still in the bathroom, I heard a knock on my door. Grunting, I grasped the handle and then poked my head out, expecting the intruder to state her mission but no one said a word, making me roll my eyes. Just when I was about to apply my shampoo on my hair, my door creaked open and at once I stepped out of the bathroom only to see Albert holding a bottle. The sight of the half filled bottle made me stumble backwards as the events of the previous day filtered in my head. Embarrassed, my cheeks began to burn. No doubt, I had made a fool of myself before Albert. “About last night…” I was still speaking when he walked further, closing the gap between us. With his lips
Naomi's POVRubbing my hands against the fabric of my dress, I was thinking of the perfect way to maneuver through this mess I had created for myself.What was I even thinking when I told him it was girly stuff?Pushing my head backwards, I grunted in displeasure.“I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pressed on with finding out what the issue is.” Father said, making me snap my head in his direction. His expression showed that he wasn't making up his words.Casting Albert a swift gaze I caught him chewing on his meal as he stared back at father. At this point, I began to wonder what he was brewing in that head of his.“Father… it's alright… but to be sincere, you misinterpreted the situation.”“Really?”“Yes father.” I nodded, relieved that he decided to listen to me. “The truth is, I have missed Cassie so much and I feel lonely most times with no one to share my pains with… I can't tell Albert everything nor can I do the same to you. I feel I will be like a burden to you guys.” I drawled in
Naomi's POVThe courtroom was the only place where we could have this kind of conversation without any form of interruption so I led him there.With my hands crossed on my chest, I was pacing from one end to the other, trying to contain the anger that was threatening to burst through my veins.On the other hand was Albert who was following my every move like a hawk stalking a chick which was definitely going to become its prey.“Naomi…” he tried to speak but I immediately snapped my head in his direction and with my fingers crossed on my lips, I hushed him.“I'm going to start the conversation.” I snapped.With his hands above his head in surrender, he took a step backwards and then plopped on a seat.Several minutes later, I halted and then swirled in his direction with a force that I couldn't comprehend.“What happened back there at the dining table?” I asked, closing the gap that separated us.“It wasn't my idea.” He said. Now towering above me, “If only you had given me a tangible
