Naomi's POV For more than five minutes, I was hanging upside down like a bat, thanks to my dress which was caught in the truck, otherwise, I would have broken a bone or two. Taking a deep breath, I tried to get myself off the tree but the more I tried, the harder it became and so I gave up trying only to start looking around the garden. This went one for a while until I saw a heavy fruit had been suspended in the tree, making its way downwards. “Dammit!” I muttered and soon, I was standing on the ground, my head tilted to the side as I stared at the large fruit on the ground. Not knowing the kind of fruit it was, I kicked it aside and then walked out of the garden since I had lost interest in being here. Once in my room, I flopped on the bed and then dialed Cassie's contact, hoping at the same time that she was home and not in the hospital. Just like I wanted, she picked up on the first ring and then went ahead to inform me it was her day off which meant we have a lot of
Alpha Baron's POVIt's been a few days now since I last set my eyes on Naomi, she never shows up at the dining table and whenever I made inquiries about her, I was told she wanted to be left alone.At first, I was thinking it was one of her phases where she didn't want to be disturbed but as time went on, I began to grow suspicious. Even Raven began to ask about her whereabouts, heightening my fear.Several times, I had tried to go meet with her in her room but I was restricted. After I went to her room even when she had warmed me strictly not to, when we were alone, she repeated the same thing and also I didn't want Raven to think that something was going on between us.A lot of things were happening, adding this was like adding coal to the already burning flame and I doubt I would be able to survive it all.Now sitting in my office, I had my head resting against my chair with my eyes shut as I reviewed the meeting I had with the elders a few days ago.After they had suggested surrog
Alpha Baron's POVAt his words, my blood turned cold as I began to dart my eyes around and at the same time wondering who the visitor could be.Wiping my brow with the back of my palm, I let out a deep sigh and then pushed my hands into my pockets attempting to put a call to Naomi. With a racing heart, I was praying and hoping she answered her phone but like before, she didn't.“Sir, it is Albert from Dragonwood Pack. It seems Alpha Jethro sent him.” Richard said on his return with a shaky voice.Biting the corner of my lips, I swirled around in a split second. Just when I was about to start heading in the opposite direction, I turned towards him and then grabbed his shoulder.“Keep him company until I return.” I said and then scurried off before he could start making enquiries.Running as if my life was going to end the next minute, I found myself in Raven's room. She was sitting on the edge of her bed with her hands resting on her thighs.Slowly and cautiously, I walked towards her
Naomi's POVWiping the bead of perspiration from my forehead, I continued my backwards movement until I crashed into the chest of the man in black cloak.Turning in my direction, he took off his mask and then flashed me a coy smile which did nothing but to heighten my fears.“I never knew a little effort was all I needed to lure you out of the palace.” The man said, pushing my hair away from my face.When he attempted the same thing the second time, I slapped his hand off only to receive a resounding slap that sent me staggering the next minute.Holding onto my cheeks with my eyes watering, I tried to stand still but I couldn't.“I should have just stayed back.” I mumbled, still rubbing my burning cheek. It had been a while since I felt this kind of pain and it seemed like I was going to die from it the next minute.“Shut up, we need to find answers.” My wolf snarled back.“Answers? I'm in deep shit now and I don't think I will be able to come out of this so easily.” I retorted, strai
Reader's POV It was now three days since Albert's visist to the Raven Claw Pack, still yet there was no call or text from Naomi whatsoever. Alpha Jethro sensing that something was wrong wouldn't sit still even when Albert suggested that he was going to find out what the problem really was. All through the night, he kept dialing Naomi's phone but she wouldn't pick up. Even Cassie who wasn't disturbed at fist began to panic. At some point, she wanted to reveal what Naomi's true mission was to her father but she couldn't bring herself to do it. Even though she wasn't going to get punished, she felt like she was betraying Naomi and she didn't want her to see her in such light. Now pacing the length and breadth of his office, Alpha Jethro had his hands tucked into his pockets, is bottom lips lodged into between his teeth as he stared into space. It’s past midnight yet he was still up. A lot of things had to be done in the Dragonwood Pack but he pushed them all aside. Naomi w
Naomi's POVThe last thing I wanted to do was to tell my father exactly what happened. Not only would Alpha Baron be in trouble, but my stay here in Raven Claw Pack would be terminated and there was no way I could return. Even if father agrees, Albert wouldn't.Fiddling with my fingers, I continued staring at my father who had his gaze fixed on me since I walked in earlier. If only I had a hint of what he was thinking, I would be glad.Deep down I was praying and hoping that he wouldn't ask me to return with them. At the same time, I was cooking up stories in my head to tell them.“Naomi, are you not going to tell us what happened?” Albert asked, he was peering into my eyes and at the same time holding my hands tightly, “I already told you I went exploring, what else do you want me to say?” I said with a calm and convincing voice to drive home my point but stubborn Albert wouldn't give up.He kept probing for answers until I couldn't bear it anymore and at once I rose, barely escap
Alpha Baron's POVNow left alone with Richard and the sisters, I plopped on the couch and then buried my head in my palms. The more I thought about it, the more enraged I became.Albert had gone overboard with his actions and it was unpardonable but I was going to let it slide since it was my fault.If only I had monitored Naomi more closely, this wouldn't have happened.Pulling myself up, I tossed my head backwards, my eyes still tightly shut and by the time I opened it, I was staring right back at Cassie who had her hands across her chest and was wearing a smirk on her lips.Pulling myself up, I pressed my lips together in a thin line, “Thank you for stepping in.” I said.“I didn't do it for you, rather my sister. Please take good care of her. I don't want you to get into trouble with Albert, he isn't someone you should annoy.” She said and I nodded.“Thank you.”Holding Naomi's hand, she pulled her up and together they left the office. It wasn't up to two minutes when Richard appea
Naomi's POVWhile all the talk was going on with Father and Albert's presence, I was studying Richard's face, hoping to find a clue in my search but there was none.The only thing I could remember before I passed out was that the person who had accosted me was a Beta from the Raven Claw Pack and there were only two Beta I knew of and that was Beta Richard and Beta Williams.With Richard now out of my picture, my suspicion was strong on Beta Williams. I just wanted to see him in person and engage him in a conversation and then I will be able to get a clue from that.Before Cassie left with Father, she had pulled me to a corner, urging me to hasten up with what I had to do and return home, saying she didn't have a good feeling about what was happening and I in turn had assured her that everything was going to be fine, though I was skeptical too.My first suspicion was Raven but now Beta Williams. It was high time I set my resentment aside and stopped thinking that all vices committed we

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.
