Reader's POVAnnoyed with her father's decision, Albert took his leave, pretending he wanted to make use of the bathroom.Resting against his door which he had secured with a lock, he shut his eyes tightly as he slid through the door onto the ground.Left for Naomi, he knew if he said the right words she was going to accept him but her persistent father who wanted to get her mated with the nobles at all cost was making it difficult for him.Blinking his eyes rapidly, he balled his hand into a fist and then sent it into the air. Still seething with anger, he pulled himself up and with heavy footsteps, he stormed towards his study table and then pulled out a paper.It was the list of the suitors that Alpha Jethro had chosen for Naomi. Smirking, he circled Kaiser's name since he was the next on the list.Now, Kaiser Moore was the next heir of the Moonstone pack. In a few days, he will be crowned the next Alpha to replace his deceased father.With Naomi presented to him and also to earn m
Naomi's POVSoon it was evening which meant it was time to meet with Alpha Kaiser. This time around, I didn't bother to wear makeup, I just did my hair and then changed into one of my newest clothes.“Are you ready?” Albert called from the hallway and at once I grabbed my purse off the table and then sprinted out to join him.Grinning from side to side, I began to walk through the aisle. Right in my head, I was already making up the look of disappointment on my father's face when I wouldn't be meeting with any more potential suitors like he had termed them.“We will be meeting with him at a hotel…”“Hotel?” I cringed, grasping the seat in front of me. The last time I checked, we were supposed to meet at a restaurant for dinner and not a hotel.What then in heaven's name was Albert talking about?“Please explain… I… is father aware of this? We were supposed to have dinner together and not meet in a hotel.” Chuckling nervously, I leaned forward again, this time around, I was almost cras
Naomi's POVSeveral minutes later, I was sitting in the passenger's seat of the car with my head buried in my palms. When my neck began to ache, I sat upright, staring through the window.At intervals, I will take a look at the rear mirror only to see Albert staring at me. Each time I did this, we always locked eyes and so I began to wonder how he was able to keep driving with his eyes fixed on the mirror.“We are going to crash if you don't concentrate now.” I said with a warning tone.“I'm not driving yet.” He replied with a little smile before turning his head in my direction.Holding my hands, he gave them a soft squeeze, “You will be fine.”“I'm not bothered about it since I'm not interested in him.” I said, wrapping my hand across my chest. I was being sincere with my words.The only reason why I felt a bit sad was because Alpha Kaiser had ended up disgracing himself in a strange pack.Well, since it was between the royal family, I really didn't think much about it. Albert was c
Naomi's POVA week after father put an end to the suitor hunt, I was sitting in front of my mirror, smiling at my reflection.For the last few days, I had become so conscious of myself that I wouldn't stop staring at the mirror even when I wanted to stop. Twirling my hair in between my fingers, I tilted my head to the side.“Now, I have to think of what to do. Something that will make father stop worrying about me… what could that be?” I asked, smacking my lips as I darted my eyes around.Unable to come up with anything, I decided to carry out a bit of research in hopes that I will be able to come up with something tangible.Suddenly, I heard a knock on my door and at once I snapped my head upwards. Seconds later, I was poking my head out of my room.“Yes, how can I help you?” It was Albert standing on the other end. I was expecting him to inform me that father sought my presence but it was something different.“Are you busy?” He asked.“No, why?”“Let's have a walk before breakfast.”
Naomi's pov.I watched as everybody and their mothers walked past me in their best attire on their way to Alpha's ball.It was the most awaited party of the year and everyone was dressing to impress. Not to mention the fact that the Alpha might be choosing a mate this time around. Everyone was trying to look their best so that they could be chosen."I wish you'd change your mind and come," Lily said behind me and I rolled my eyes, turning around to face her.I gasped at the beautiful red gown adorning her figure."You look amazing!" I remarked, my eyes eating up her lovely dress that suited her olive skin tone and blonde hair."Thank you," she said, twirling around to show it off."You are welcome," I smiled, proud of how gorgeous she looked, "and I'm not interested in going to a party. Especially one in the pack house." I remarked, walking past her to get some earrings that I thought would look better on her."Why not?" She asked.I looked over at her from my dresser."You know why,
Naomi's pov."Mate,"My Wolf growled out after him and the entire pack gasped in shock. I couldn't see their faces, I was too shocked and focused on my destined mate to pay them any mind but I could tell what every one of them was thinking. The Alpha inched closer to me, the mate bond pulling us closer and closer to each other relentlessly. I couldn't stop moving even if I wanted to and I certainly didn't want to, my wolf wouldn't let me. She was too excited to be claimed and so was I. I could feel my heart and my soul aching for him to mark me it was almost painful.I wasn't touching him yet but I could feel the intensity of our bond like it was something tangible like his skin.My breathing was labored the more I neared him, the more my breath came out in a short burst of air.I wanted him so much that I forgot everything I had come here for. I was eager to be claimed by the Alpha who I have incidentally always had a huge fucking crush on.I never thought in my wildest dreams that
Baron's povI clenched my jaw, watching as my guards practically dragged my so-called mate out of the party with the party attendees laughing at the scene.I was finding it difficult to sit still. What had started as a pleasant meeting was starting to look like a terrible fucking mistake.One of the major reasons that I cared to celebrate my birthday and my Coronation anniversary was because I had a plan and it was to invite the Dragonmoon pack princesses so I could find some kind of common ground with the processes but once again they had sent a simple councilman to cover for the fact that they couldn't make it and as if that wasn't enough, that vermin of a rogue had to ruin it all by being my mate.I was already tired and bored of the night"Boss, that was a little hard," my beta said, using the mind link."I don't care. I'm going upstairs, figuring a way to get the guests out of my house early enough,""But you are the host,* my beta pointed out "Not anymore, take over for me," I
Naomi's pov.I paced my cell, waiting for news on my father. I couldn't believe that they had not gotten my father a doctor like I had asked. I wasn't even sure why I had believed that they would. They all hated my guts and it was simply because I was, according to them, a representation of what had happened to them twenty years ago.Not only was I hurt by their words, I was distraught, growing up without a mother and a barely-there adoptive father was more brutal on me than I'd like to admit. Sometimes, I found myself wishing he'd never found me.I heard footsteps walking into the dungeon and my heart began to beat in my chest. I needed to know that my father was okay. That was all that mattered to me right now…Alpha Baron who'd disappeared awhile ago appeared in front of my cell with his eyes blazing with what looked like hate. I quickly scrambled up from the floor and ran towards him, holding the bar that separated us both."How is he?" I asked, my voice coming out panicked. I di
