Naya's POV I'm smiling on the inside because even though he is trying to act hard to get, I know I have won. Never have I seen him so overcomed with surprise, seeing me walking to him naked. “Put your clothes back on.” He warns me. “You're complaining, and I haven't even done anything yet.” I shrug. “You think this is a game, Naya?” “Maybe. Maybe not.” I say. “I guess your house has a lot of servants, I'm going to go walk around like this, and see what they think of me…” I want to slide the door open, but he sweeps me off my feet and throws me over his shoulder. He takes me into his bedroom and drops me on the bed. He goes around, pulling down the curtains and shutting the door. He angrily takes off his jacket and his tie. He dumps them on the ground before turning back to him. “You think what you are doing is funny, huh?” He mutters as he walks around. “You're the one who went to the hospital and told everyone that I'm your wife!” “And you decided to walk around naked in
Naya's POV Water runs in the bathroom and I immediately pull the duvet over my body. The door opens and Erus steps back into the room. God,I can't even look him in the eyes. My face gets all red. “Hey,” he says. I don't say anything to him, I look away and bite down the duvet. “You are going to try to suffocate yourself with the duvet just to hide yourself? I saw everything like a minute ago.” “It's not funny!” I huff. I stand up, keeping the duvet around me as I get up from the bed. “Where did you think you're going?” “Home.” I mutter. “I missed work, I need to pick Jordan up from school…” I part the curtains and my jaw drops to the ground. Midnight… It's midnight!“Fuck!” I look around for my clothes, but I can't even find anything. “What have I done? I'm such a bad mother!” “Jordan is fine. Tracy is at the house with her, I just spoke to her on the phone.” “You should have woken me up, Erus,” I shake my head. “Why? You looked so exhausted,” he smiles. I roll my eyes.
Naya's POV“Did you hear? Alpha Liam Bloodton is dead!” “Jeez, what happened to him?” The mournful air hangs around school this morning. Gladly, the students have something else to talk about, not hate on me today. The death of the Alpha has caused such an uproar that school has been discontinued for today, and everyone has to go home. I walk to my locker and retrieve my books. Walking past the clusters of students, none of them even glance at me. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I am not bothered about the death of our Alpha, but honestly, it's the least of my problems.My name is Naya Woods, and I'm the most hated girl in this high school. I'm a werewolf, like everyone else, but I never got my wolf. My sixteenth birthday was devastating because my transformation never came. When my mother noticed that I wasn't changing, she took all the money under her bed and carried me to a seer in the dangerous woods. Nothing came out of it, sadly. My mother always prayed that I shouldn't s
Naya's POVThe place is crowded, everyone is wearing black and holding glasses of champagne in their hands. I'm wearing black jeans and a brown hoodie. I am out of place, but I stand right behind so that no one notices me. The girls from the school almost look my way, but I duck. The last thing I want is for them to cause trouble for me. As I slowly walk through the crowd of people, I strain my neck to catch a glimpse of what's happening in the middle of the room. Everyone is so quiet, I wonder what they are all staring at. Finally, I see it– or am I supposed to say him? I see the new Alpha, Erus Bloodton. He is standing right there in the middle with his mother, Mrs. Bloodton. My lips part as soon as I see him, it's him! It's the same rude handsome man I saw! He is easily the tallest person in the room, his mother looks so small beside him. He has a buzz cut and his eyes are a kind of piercing brown. The girls are right, he is so handsome. He is wearing a black suit, hands in pocke
Naya’s POVMy heart crashes to the ground, what's she talking about? I wait for her to laugh and slap her knee. I want her to pull my cheek and tell me that I'm so easy to prank, but that doesn't happen. She is telling the truth, Alpha Erus hates me so much that he has placed a bounty on my head. “Oh my God..” I walk around with my hands pressed over my face. Why is this happening to me?! It's not like I chose to be mated to that Alpha, I mean I don't even have a wolf in the first place. Is there a glitch or something? Why won't my mother just allow me to accept the rejection? I don't even want to be with the guy and he hates me already. Look, he has placed a bounty on my head. I'm feeling lightheaded, so I press myself against the wall. I don't even know what to do. “Naya, are you listening to me?” Sherry raises my chin. “I will protect you, I will drive you home.” “I can't go home,” I say. “I have a math test today.” Sherry looks at me as if I've gone crazy. “You realize that
Naya’s POVMy body is still hurting, but my mother asked me to get into the shower and take a bath. Afterwards, she sits me down in front of the dresser and starts to apply makeup on my face. She takes her red lipstick– which she hasn't used in years – and she applies it on my already pink lips. “Mum, mum, you said that this wasn't okay.” I stammer. I don't understand why she has just suddenly agreed to the deal with Mrs Bloodton. I thought that she said that this is not a good idea? “The deal she is offering is not bad anymore.” She smiles thinly at me. “But, you said that it's not a good idea.” She holds her chin up and dabs some more powder under my eyes. “Naya, you are young, you are not going to understand. One day you will see that this is all good.” She puts my green dress on the bed and adds my good sandals to them. I don't have any accessories, so my mother takes off her earrings and drops them into my palms. At this point, I start to cry and shake my head. My throat
Naya's POV He hates me, I can tell. He was staring at his phone the entire time that I was with him and he left after five minutes. But his mother said that he and I were supposed to get personal, we were supposed to get to know each other. We are supposed to be married for goodness sake! My eyes water in the car as I am being driven home. Was it something that I did that has made him mad? Do I call his mother and ask for her to beg her son for me? After a long drive , the car pulls up in front of my house, the door opens immediately and mother steps out with eager eyes. She is going to be horrified when she learns that I did terribly and the Alpha doesn't like me. “Excuse me, miss. The Alpha said to give you this. Consider it as a small token to get yourself something nice.” The driver says. He is handing two bundles of money to me. I don't understand, why is he giving me such a huge amount of money? “What? The Alpha asked you to give this to me?” “Is there a problem, miss? D
Naya's POVI hold on to the strap of my school bag very tightly. What's going on here? Why have they all waited for me? “Boys and girls, let's give it up to welcome the fiancée of the Alpha, Naya Woods!” The claps are so loud that my ears are almost exploding. I walk amidst the clap. Trying my best not to trip over my trembling legs. They are all smiling, waving at me as if we have all been cool from day one. The truth is that I've never known peace since I stepped foot in this school. I was a scholarship student, that means that if not for my brain, I wouldn't have had the chance to attend this school. Their expensive school. The rich kids hate me for this. They hated that a peasant like me should be in the same classroom as them, drinking from the same fountain of knowledge. It was unhinging to them because I drank better, I was at the top of the class. So, excuse me if I find their smile a little too ominous for my liking, if I found the friendliness of their eyes too vague.

Erus' POV She looks more pissed than she has ever done and that makes a part of me very happy. She wanted to keep our marriage a secret, but I went into her workplace to tell everyone that we are married, but I don't care. Seeing her swelling with anger, that's just chef kiss to me. I get back to the house and Brandon is waiting for me by the gate. He looks so relieved to see me. “Good morning, Alpha, I looked everywhere for you, but I didn't see you.” He walks towards me, taking the jacket I take off and throw in his direction. “I had to run a quick errand, Brandon. Are we all set to head to the airport now?” I ask him. “Just as soon as you have your quick meeting with Mister Donald.” I stop and frown at him. I want to go off at him for schedule my meeting on the same day that I'm supposed to travel out, but then I remember that I was the one who moved the meeting a couple of times. “I see.” I murmur. “Move it. I have other better things to do today.” This would make it t
Naya's POV What the fuck is wrong with Erus? He bought the hospital?! “Why did you buy the hospital?! Why can't you have anything?!” I pull my face. “You are a very ungrateful girl, Naya. To say I'm disappointed would be a total understatement.” He says. “I didn't ask you to do this! I had one mental breakdown and went ahead and pulled the entire carpet from underneath me!” I stand in front of him, preventing him from getting into the elevator. I am going to pretend that I don't see the nurses and doctors looking at us from the corner. Why would I care? He has ruined my life already! They will never look at me the same way again! “Get out of my way, Naya.” He sighs. “No, Erus, I won't get out of your way.” I sneer. “You think you can get away after what you did? You just bought the hospital, fired my boss, and acted like you're a superhero or something.” “I'm not kidding, Naya.” “Fuck you.” I curse at him. “Watch your mouth, my love. That's not very wifely. Now, move out
74. Erus' POV She is staring at me, as if she wants to kill me for just showing up at her work place. The other senior nurse is on her knees, bowing to me, but not Naya. She is stubborn like that. It doesn't take more than two minutes for the whole room to be filled up with people. Even the chief resident, Doctor Baron, shows up. “Alpha Erus!” he says with delight. “We didn't know that you would be coming to the hospital today!” He is speaking to me, but I'm not listening to him. My eyes are locked with Naya's. “Miss Woods, I know that you are new around town, but this is the Alpha and we bow as soon as we see him.” “What are you doing here?” Naya asks me. Everyone is perplexed, surely she is not speaking to me like that. “What's your name?” I ask. “Her name is Naya Woods, sir, and I apologize on her bad behavior, I will teach her a lesson for disrespecting you–” “Not her, the lady kneeling on the ground. What's her name?” I ask. The nurse raises her head slightly, she loo
73. Naya's POV I go back to work with a new determination in my heart. I am tired of whatever this nonsense is with nurse Veronica. I decide that because of the respect I have for chief Baron, I will speak to him before I allow the less appealing side of me out. I get to work early and I take the elevator straight to his office. He is having a consultation with a big client in his office, so I wait outside for almost an hour. It's worth the wait though, I don't care that I'm late for work, I cross my legs and wait for him to be free. Once the client steps out of the door, I make my way into his office. His eyes widen as he sees me. “Miss Woods, what a surprise? I was just about to go out for a meeting…”“Then I guess I have met you at the perfect time, as I have something very important to discuss with you.” I say. “Is this about the Matron? Naya, I already told you that you should speak to her. I can't bring myself to be suddenly inserted into women's talk, I don't want that.”
Naya's POV The next week has been very hellish for me. I consider myself to be very resilient and unbendable under extreme degree of stress, but Veronica has broken me. After another exhausting and humiliating shift, I drag myself to the bathroom and when I see the eyes of my reflection in the mirror, I burst into tears. This is not what I moved back to Moonclaw for. I chose this city and this hospital because it was going to give me more purpose.Not to be a scapegoat for the terrible witch that is called Nurse Veronica. After I have put myself together and get into my car, I drive back home. I am a little bit late, Jordan is already in the house with Erus.I'm right, his car is right in the front. Tracy agreed to watch Jordan when I work late, she brings Jordan home on days when Erus is supposed to come and see her. I'm glad that she never confronted me about the Alpha being my baby daddy. To be honest, I don't even want to get into it either…I get out of my car and there are
Naya's POV I walk into the hospital with my heart in my mother. The weekend has gone by, and I haven't gotten over the fact that Nurse Veronica slapped me. To be honest, I haven't gotten over many things too. Erus too, I haven't gotten over him. He kissed me. Not only that, he did more than kiss me. I don't know which was worse, the fact that he did things to me, or the fact that I liked it….If he hadn't pulled away, I would have allowed him to even take things further, I would have allowed him– even when my child was asleep in her room, just upstairs. What's wrong with me? Why am I kissing him after everything he did to me seven years ago? He thinks that I'm still his wife, and thus, I still belong to him. I am going to avoid him from now on. I won't allow him come close to me. I don't trust him, and I don't trust myself. I walk into the hospital, determined to have a very good day today. When I get into the hospital, I sight one of my colleagues talking to the receptionist.
Erus' POV I walk out of the house and that's one of the hardest things that I have ever made myself do. My dick is so hard that it aches and I can't help but be mad at myself for this. I should have stayed back, I shouldn't have tormented her the way I did. She has a massive ego, both of us do, and I guess mine is bigger, because I wanted to punish her. She keeps calling me a bully, and I wanted to prove to her that I indeed was one. I walk into my car and shut the door after me. “Fuck!” I hit the steering wheel. She has no idea what she is doing to me. She has no idea that I want to loop all of time into an hour and just fuck her over and over again. Why am I still obsessed with Naya? I could have hundreds of women, but I can't bring myself to forget about her. For seven years, I have been obsessed with her. Imagine the sheer strength it took to walk away from her, knowing that I wanted to do at that moment was to fuck her. It's raining, I'm sitting in my car and looking a
