Naomi's POVThe sound of beeping machines rented the air and I began to wonder where I was.Trying to snap my eyes open, I found it difficult to do that and so I relaxed only for me to start thinking about the sixth toe on Raven's leg.If I had known, I would have taken a proper look at the toe while I was on the tree to notice any striking resemblance.Still on this, I heard the door creaking open but since my eyes were shut, I couldn't decipher if someone had stepped in or out.When I began to hear approaching footsteps, I was still trying to act like I was still unconscious as the person closed in on me.After a few minutes of tension-filled silence, I felt a hand caressing my arm and at once I snapped my eyes open, only to see Alpha Baron staring at me with a fear-filled eye.“Are you alright?” He asked, propping me up on the pillow and I nodded.Raising my head, I realized a drip was connected to my hand and I let out a low sigh. I must have passed out in the hallway and that was
Alpha Baron's POV When Beta Williams arrived, Richard was quick to usher him into my office so we could get down into interrogating him as we had planned. Everything was going on smoothly until I lost my cool when he suddenly decided to go mute. Annoying me further, he was staring right back at me. “I asked a question, mister,” I said, slamming my fist against the table with a deep frown etched on my face. If only I had the chance, I would have held his neck, maybe a chokehold would get me the answer I wanted but because I wanted to respect him, I had to keep my cool. If not because of my late father, I would have done that without any apology. “From your questioning, it seems like you're accusing me of kidnapping your friend. Why will I even do that when we don't have any sort of connection whatsoever.” He finally spoke with a carefree tone. Taking another sip from his cup, he pulled himself up and then turned towards Richard, “Remind him in five minutes that the elders ar
Alpha Baron's POV For more than five minutes, I stood there, staring at the door with my mouth slightly open. This was a perfect example of an open confrontation. Her tone and body language was enough to say she was not bluffing. Still reviewing all that she had said in my head, I began to pace around my office, my hands wrapped across my chest as I bit my bottom lips. Raven… if she can confront me openly like that, that means, she had a goal to accompany and what is that goal of hers? — that which I have no idea about. “Naomi,” I called, shaking my head sideways. I intended to make inquiries from her but since I didn't want to involve her in matters that concerned my pack, I had to bottle up everything. Still pondering, the door flung open and Richard walked in. Before he could pass this message, I reached out to him and then held his shoulder, “There is trouble.” I said and at once his face fell as he began to search mine for an answer. “What are you talking about?” He
Naomi's POVThe more I thought about it, the more amused I became.I don't know what Raven took me for, maybe it's because I had spent my childhood with her so she thinks I was dumb like her.Chuckling, I tilted my head to the side as tears rolled down my cheeks.Even if we had grown up together, I haven't given her any reason to think I was stupid and she could trample on me.Still laughing at this the door creaked open and she stepped in with a long face. Occupying her previous seat, she had her gaze on the door, and after staring for a while she turned in my direction.“I said I have answers to your questions,” she said persuasively but I refused to be swayed by it.Pushing my hair behind my ear, I sank into my bed, staring intently at her to the extent that she began to shift uncontrollably in her seat.“What is it that you want to tell me?” I asked, expecting her to start running her mouth immediately but she wouldn't speak, she was fiddling with her fingers as she bit her bottom
Naomi's POVThe more I thought about this, the more confused I became. If only I could get a term for this, I'd be a bit relieved.Now resting against the wall, I caged my lips in between my teeth, my eyes fixed on the ceiling as if the answers I longed for were there.“I know some werewolves teleport and switch faces but this…” I pushed my head backward with a slow sigh of frustration, and stood upright, biting my bottom lips.“What am I going to do now?” I wondered aloud, trying to maintain composure but I just couldn't.At this point, the only thing ringing in my head was to keep Beta Williams hostage and torture him otherwise I was going to keep seeking answers to my questions.Now sitting on the edge of my bed, I dug my hand into my hair and then began to comb through it, trying to forget about everything but I just couldn't.“Fine, I will have to involve Alpha Baron in this, or else I will keep going in circles,” I said, snapping my head upwards, only to allow it to fall downwar
Naomi's POV At the end of my conversation with Cassie, I tossed my phone aside and with my fingers combing through my hair, I made my way towards the door, my next destination was Alpha Baron's office. On getting to his office, I knocked on it twice before pushing the door in. Like I initially thought, Alpha Baron was going through a hard time and this was confirmed when he wasn't aware of my presence until Richard drew his attention to it. “Sir, Naomi is here,” Richard said, touching his arm gently causing him to be a bit startled. “I will take my leave now.” He said with a curt bow but for some reasons best known to me, I pulled him back and then gestured to him to take his seat which he did reluctantly. “Is everything alright?” I asked Alpha Baron when I already knew the answer to the question. He didn't say a word to this, instead, he let out a deep sigh, digging his hand into his hair. Since he wasn't going to tell me what the issue was, I decided to talk about the r
Alpha Baron's POVEven after Naomi and Richard had returned to their respective rooms for the night, I remained in my office thinking about the conversation we had.My hunch had been right all along.Beta Williams had purposely hidden Raven's identity because he was her father and not only that, he had a sinister plan that he was going to launch.As much as this was thrilling it was scary at the same time.Thrilling in the sense that after five years of partial inactivity and dealing with only rogues, I have a huge case in front of me and it involved people I was familiar with.And it was scary because of my familiarity with those people. Since they already know me like the back of their palm, especially Beta Williams whom I always looked up to as a father, I was hanging on by a thin line.“With Richard, Wren and Naomi, I think I will be able to pull through this. I still have to do my own research and offer help when needed.” I muttered, shutting my eyes tightly, only to snap it ope
Naomi's POVSince the previous night, I have been thinking about the discussion I had with Alpha Baron and Richard.As much as I tried to forget the term, Secret Society, it kept popping in my head, making me so uncomfortable and restless. Reaching out for my phone, I decided to speak to Cassie concerning it but on a second thought, I decided not to. Instead of just talking about it, I want a situation whereby, not only am I going to discuss it, I will have answers to my questions.Right now the only person that came to my head to ask about all these was Raven. I know it was going to spark some emotions but that didn't deter me.Stepping out of my room at noon since the day began several hours ago, I made my way to the kitchen, hoping to see her lurking around like usual.On my way, I could hear people talking about something that seems so important because of their facial expressions.Still wondering what was going on, Raven appeared from nowhere and then held my hand, leading me to

I couldn't reply to him because I was very pissed and I wanted him to see that I was mad at him. “Why did you and dad think you could make the decision for me ?” I asked him angrily.

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.

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.

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. He looked around the hotel room and laid on the bed tiredly.He thought it would be a little easier for him because Naomi is pregnant, but hearing Albert say he will take care of the baby made him even more upset. “I will not let that happen.” Alpha Baron muttered and sat up on the bed.Alpha Baron decided to make the news even more exclusive so that Naomi’s family will have no other choice but to accept him as Naomi’s mate.He picked up his phone and placed a call across to Richard.“Good day Alpha Baron.” Richard greeted the moment he picked the call.“Where are you?” Alpha Baron asked him.

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.
