Naomi's POV Ignoring him completely, I fell on the bench and then wrapped the shawl tightly around my body. The next sound I heard made my heart jump into my mouth and as slowly as I could, I turned towards him, only for my heart to drop inside my stomach. The glass Alpha Baron was holding not long ago was now shattered on the ground and blood from dripping from his palm.He must have gripped the glass so tight to make it crack, causing himself a great deal of injury. “What have you done to yourself?” I cringed, grabbing his shoulder as I peered into his eyes. “Naomi please, give me one more chance. I know I have hurt you beyond repair but please forgive me. Give me a second chance and this time around, I wouldn't return to my mistakes. Please hear me out.” He cried, grabbing the hem of my dress but I pushed him aside. “Please, let's not talk about this. We should move on with our lives. I'm happy in my new life now and so you should too.” “I can't.” He sniffed. Usin
Naomi's POV Sprawled on the bed was Cassie who was sleeping with a calm expression on her face. Just staring at her, I felt a pang of guilt washing through me. Right now, I am lost on what to do. As much as I wanted to wake her, I didn't want to do so at the same time. Unable to bear it anymore, I walked up to her and then began to tap her shoulders softly, hoping she would open her eyes the next minute. Tired from the day's work, it took a while before she came out of her slumber and when she did, she had this look on her face that made my insides churn as guilt washed through me. Rubbing her eyes with her palms, she snapped, “What?” Her voice was hoarse, an effect of sleeping for a long time. “Please help me.” I said and at once, she snapped her head upwards. The shock that was written on her face scared me a bit until she said, “I had no idea that you were the one.” Now holding my shoulders, she asked, “What is the issue?” “Alpha Baron is hurt. He must have broken hi
Alpha Baron’s POV Up until now, I was still trying to wrap my head around what had happened. It wasn't as if the force she had used in pushing me away from herself was strong, I just found myself lying on the ground, unable to even move my limbs. Unlike when the incident first happened, I could now move my limbs just a little though, thanks to my wolf which was working hard to ensure I was back on my feet. Still lying on the bed, I couldn't help but think of the conversation I had with Naomi that brought about the fall. Of course, it was a bitter pill for anyone to swallow. If I was in her place, I would have done the same thing and so I really didn't blame her for it. But, I still felt she was going overboard with her actions. Despite my apologies and pleas with her to return with me, she was proving to be too stubborn. Well, I was going to allow this, but it would be for a while because I wasn't backing off anytime soon. I was going to make sure I did everything possibl
Alpha Baron’s POVSeveral minutes flew by, yet I was unable to take my eyes off Richard who had long buried his head.“Are you certain?” I asked, shifting my gaze to the ceiling.“Yes sir. I overheard it from the palace maids when they were talking about it. The reason why your attention haven't been drawn to it is because of your absence.”Gritting my teeth in anger, I balled my hands into a fist, trying to forget about everything I had heard. Right now, I felt I was being betrayed by those I called my family.“Sir, what are you going to do now? If they passes the proposal, there is nothing that can be done about it.” Richard said.Seething with anger, I flung my feet off the bed and the next minute, I was walking towards the bathroom. I could feel Richard's gaze on my back but I didn't give it a thought.“Sir, are you sure you're okay?” Richard asked but I didn't give him a response as I proceeded to clean up.On my return to the room, I met Naomi staring back at Richard who was try
Alpha Baron's POVStaring at the lady in front of me, I didn't need anyone to tell me that Beta William's and Elder Callum had gone far with their scheme.Now staring at Richard who was wearing a neutral expression, I made a sign to him, trying to find out if he had an idea of all these but with the look he gave me, I knew he was lost too.“Your highness, since you haven't met with your fated mate yet, we decided to bring an acting mate for you, pending the time you are going to see yours.” Elder Callum said and I internally squirmed.“I have a mate, I will bring her soon and make her my Luna.” I yelled in my head, trying as much as I could to spill it out but my tongue refused to cooperate.For a while now, I have been saying this to them, promising to bring Naomi as soon as possible and they had gotten tired of my excuses.Right now, I was using my fingers to scrap the material of the chair as I shut my eyes tightly, the feeling of failure washing through me.Had it been I had succe
Alpha Baron's POVWrapping my hands tightly around myself, I continued pacing around my office. I had been doing this since I returned here and I don't think I was going to stop anytime soon.Tomorrow was the mating ceremony between me and Raven and there was no way I could escape it.All tactics that I had thought would be able to pull me out of this mess turned out to be useless and were mocking me in my face.“Naomi, you should have come with me and then I wouldn't have been in this mess.” I muttered, digging my hands into my hair and then pulling them out, not minding the pains that I was inflicting on myself.Now resting against the wall, I bit my bottom lips and then let out a low sigh as I stared hard at the door.For more than ten minutes now, I have been waiting for Richard to return with a response from Beta William. I had begged that the mating ceremony would be extended but knowing fully well that he wouldn't attend to me, I had to use Richard instead.A few minutes later,
Naomi's POVInstead of being happy that Alpha Baron finally decided to leave for his pack, I had a mixed feeling which I couldn't lay my hands on but happiness was not a part of it.It was now two hours after his departure, yet, I was still sitting on the bed he was lying on earlier with my head buried in my palm.If only he had said what the issue was, I wouldn't have been this bothered but he didn't and even when I attempted to ask father, I had to restrict myself from doing so.“Ugh! You made me go in circles. Why aren't you picking your calls? Thanks to the maid that told me you haven't left here.” Cassie rapped, falling on the spot beside me.“Do you by any chance know why he left? I think it was because of how I had treated him. Albert told me he spoke to father before he left.” Holding her hands, I leaned towards her and with a watery eye I said, “I’m scared Cassie.”“Scared of what?” she asked with a raised brow.“If father gets to hear everything that has happened, he would b
Naomi's POV After the mating ceremony, I was sitting on a table all by myself when Lily walked up to me with a smile on her face. “I was thinking I wasn't going to see you again.” She groaned, giving my hand a squeeze. “Me too.” I replied with a little smile. Even though I had promised to meet with Alpha Baron to compensate for my rude behavior towards him, I didn't mean it. Lily here was my friend from childhood and even though we haven't seen each other for a while now, we were still friends. “When are you living? You will be staying for the rest of the week right?” She asked and at once I began to shake my head. The last thing I was going to do was spend one more day in Raven Pack. Alpha Baron was surely going to come looking for me and I didn't want that to happen. I was supposed to sit with my father on the podium but I decided to sit in the congregation because I didn't want to see him. Lily and I began talking to pass time, pending when the ceremony was going to fo

At first Isabelle didn’t want to join them but for old time sake she stood up from the bed and walked out of the room. While she was walking downstairs her father raised his head and looked at her, their eyes met and he looked away.

She struggled and finally stood up then she headed into the bathroom and sat in the bathtub with the shower on, she was still dressed as she sat there thinking about a lot. Her light suddenly turned off within a blink of an eye. Her life had turned upside down, she has now turned to a shadow of herself. There’s nowhere she goes to anymore because everyone in the pack makes mockery of her. Few days ago she stepped out to clear her head only to see a story teller, telling her story to little children. It was at that moment Isabelle realized how bad her situation was. “Isabelle.” Mrs Arthur called several times but no one was answering her and the shower was on. Mrs Arthur dropped the glass of water she was holding and rushed into the bathroom where she saw Isabelle drowning herself in the bathtub. “What is wrong wi
Alpha Baron povI went back to my seat and gulped the glass of wine. With my hands up the waiter rushed towards my direction. “More wine.” I said to him and he walked away immediately, I couldn’t believe what I heard, what Naomi’s father request for. Even if I accept, will Naomi be okay with my decision? Is she ready to take that risk just to be with me? The thought of her rejecting it made me feel sick. After a while I stood up from the bar and headed back to the hotel. I couldn’t go to the pack house because of my present state, I was completely wasted and if i got there looking like this Naomi would be disappointed in me. When I got to the hotel, I got out of the cab and slowly walked back to my room.

Writer's povAlpha Baron headed back to the hotel and he couldn't get his mind off the conversation he had with Albert and how Albert sounded very sure of what he was saying.“I can't believe he looks down on me to such an extent.” Alpha Baron muttered as he sat on the bed.

Alpha Baron povAfter the meeting with Naomi’s family which was very unsuccessful, though I felt bad about it, I had to pretend to be fine so that Naomi doesn't feel some kind of way. I had to make her think I was fine with the way things played out.“Hey nan.” I said to Richard the moment Naomi walked out of my room.“How did it go?” Richard asked curiously. I looked towards the door to be sure Naomi was nowhere close to the room.“It was a disaster.” Richard was unhappy to hear what I said because it means things go the way we planned it to. I sighed and stood up from the bed. “I think her family wants her with Albert, sadly she's with my baby.” I said and we both laughed.“What family picks a body guard over an Alpha?” Richard asked angrily. I smiled when I heard Richard’s question because he doesn't know anything about the pack.“They have everything, status is nothing to them.” I answered Richard.
