Naomi's POVSmuggling deep into my bed, I used my duvet to shield my ears from Cassie's scream but somehow they still managed to filter through, making me wince in anger.When I couldn't take it anymore, I threw the duvet off my body and then sat up with a scowl on my face.Standing across the room with her hands folded on her chest was Cassie, staring at me with a bright smile on her face which I despised and wanted to wipe off.It was disgusting and the more she acted like it didn't matter, the more angry I became.“What do you want from me? Am I holding your life?”“It's already past noon and I remembered telling you last night that we were going to shop for my clothes today.” She retorted, walking further into the room.“Did I agree?”“You don't need to consent or refute this. You're my sister and so you should help me out here.” Rolling my eyes to the back of my head, I fell back on the bed with a scowl on my face.Since I returned from Raven Claw Pack a few days ago immediately
Naomi's POVAlbert's words struck a chord and it got me thinking.He was right about Alpha Baron being swayed by his subjects. If not because of the council of elders, he wouldn't have been mated to Raven.Also, down the line surrogacy was suggested and they all believed he was doing to follow that path too but still I would prefer to be mated to him than to that nasty Elder Callum.“I wonder how I'm going to face him during dinner.” I said aloud and then passed Cassie an apologetic look.For the rest of the evening, we remained in the pack until it was getting dark.On arrival, I saw a familiar car from the Raven Claw Pack parked in the garage and at once I rolled my eyes. No doubt, Elder Callum has arrived and there is no way I will be able to escape him.Intertwining her hands with mine, Cassie began to pull me into the house. I could feel the excitement rushing through her blood and an involuntary smile made its way to my lips.“Congratulations.” I said for the first time only for
Reader's POVEveryone's hand was on deck as they prepared for Cassie's mating ceremony which was going to take place under the full moon.Meanwhile, Cassie and Wren were in her room that morning while all preparation was taking place. He had taken off his mask the previous night after speaking with Naomi.“How are you going to present yourself to her now?” Cassie asked with her hands crossed on her chest.“I don't know. Alpha Baron, called not long ago, she already reached out to him.” He shrugged, pushing his hand into his hair.Smiling, Cassie rose and with her hands wrapped across her chest, she began to imagine the look of surprise that was sure to appear on the faces of her mockers later that night.They all felt she was getting mated to an old man and so her peers were making fun of her non stop. According to her favorite maids, she got to know they were going to grace the ceremony just to see her being mated to someone who was equivalent to her father.“Why are you smiling?” Wr
Naomi's POVThe nasty old man was smiling and I wonder why.At this point, I was wondering if I had made the right decision in accepting him as Cassie's mate.If I had the opportunity, I wouldn't mind questioning the moon goddess for mating Cassie to him but it was all wishful thinking.Running my fingers through the outline of my jaw, I allowed my gaze to rest on him before snapping my head to the side.“It's fine, let's bury hatchets and focus on making this mating ceremony a success, don't you think so?” I asked, trying to leave once more but Elder Callum stopped me with his annoying grunt.When I returned my gaze in his direction, I had to blink my eyes several times to ascertain I wasn't making scenarios.“I wasn't killed by the rogues.” He chuckled, making me stumble backwards as I stared back at him.“Wren.” I called and he nodded with a bright smile.“Yeah!” Grabbing my head, I made my way towards them to feel him so I would know if this was a prank or not.No way!Before I wa
Alpha Baron's POVDespite all the efforts I had put in so that Naomi would spend even if it was just an extra day more in Raven Claw Pack, it came to nothing. Her mind was already made up, leaving me frustrated.With Wren gone now, I had only Richard left in helping to run the pack and during those few days in which I was trying to sort myself out, he had filled in for me.Getting Naomi to myself was my priority and I was ready to do whatever it took to make it a reality but it seemed that wasn't going to happen.She keeps pushing all my efforts back to my face like they're worth nothing.“I won't give up now,” I said to myself as I fiddled with my pen.Since I had been off my seat for a few days now, my workload had tripled and I had a deadline to meet by the weekend so I had to commence work.When her call came through earlier, I thought she wanted to talk about it but it was about Wren's identity. Though pissed, I managed to answer her questions and after she hung up, I lost intere
Naomi's POV Raising my brow, I tried to decipher what the fuss was all about but I couldn't place it. Alpha Baron still had his hands against his ear and he was scowling now. “And… What was that for? Is there an issue?” I asked with a raised brow. Smacking his lips, he pushed his hand into his pocket and then leaned forward. “I was talking about finding another mate for yourself and you flared up, is anything the issue?” “Why do you keep hurting me? You're fully aware that I'm trying to make you mine but you are making things difficult for me on purpose. You keep pushing me away no matter how many times I come crawling to you…” “I have already moved past that stage. I don't intend to get mated with anyone.” “So what are you going to do?” “Take care of pups in the daycare. I guess that's where my speciality lies.” I said with a smile etched on the side of my lips. When I returned from Raven Claw Pack, I wanted to get myself involved in something that would kill my bore
Naomi's POVInstead of returning to the party, I made my way to my room and immediately I was inside, I banged the door shut and then slid through it.With my head buried in my palms, I shut my eyes tightly, reviewing the drama that had ensued between me and Alpha Baron.Biting my bottom lips, I began to blame myself for causing him so much pain. To think that he was taking record of the times I had rejected him was insane and the more I thought about it, the more my head ached and the more I feel bad about it. “What am I going to do now?” I muttered.It was at this moment that the picture of a happy Cassie and Wren filtered into my head. Not going to lie, I was jealous and I wished I was the one in her place.“It's not my fault.” I said in self defense, trying not to remember how he had ordered his guards to throw me out of the pack.Several times, I had tried to forget about it but no matter how much I tried I couldn't.Blinking my eyes rapidly, I tried to drive the tears that had
Naomi's POVInstead of giving me a response, he pushed my hand off his arm gently and with a smile etched on the side of his lips, he held my hand, giving it a soft squeeze.Several times, I tried to break free from his grip but he held on like I was a part of his skin.“Is anything bothering you?” He asked, casting me a quick glance.“Nope, why?”“Liar.” He snapped and at once I turned in his direction. I was finally able to pull my hand away from his grip and with a scowl, I wrapped it across my chest.“You were the one that carried me in last night, just admit it.”“Yes, I was the one. I couldn't let you sleep under the cold when I was enjoying warmth.” He said with a smirk, making the frown on my face deepen.The thought of Albert undressing me was driving me crazy and so I rested my clenched fists on my side, trying to calm my raging breath.“Why? You would have woken me instead of… why did you undress me…” I filtered off as embarrassment washed through me.To make matters worse,

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.

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.
