Naomi's POV I was closer to the door and I could hear my heart thudding faster."You seem so scared. Did I scare you?" Logan asked. "No…I mean yes. I just want to go." I spoke as I tried to control myself from feeling what I felt with Hunter a few seconds ago. "Actually I thought you were going to leave. I was about to close the door." Logan replied. "Thank you," I said as I opened the door and was about to close it when his words halted me in my tracks. "You look a lot like your mother." He said restricting himself. "Wait. Did I hear that correctly? I think he just talked about your mother, didn't he?" My wolf asked. "Yes. I'm sure he just did. I don't think I want to hear any of it. It gave me a headache for a few minutes when Hunter spoke about my father, " I whispered. "I think you are just stressed from what you've been through. Why don't you just listen to what he has to say? Who knows, it might make it easy for you to find out about your parent's death. Sometimes I won
Naomi's POVShe walked in and surveyed my room looking around as if I was living in some sort of gutter. "I do not know why a lowlife bitch like you will take an interest in luxury?! What the hell do you stand to gain? Do you think you are up to me? Do you think you can compete with me, huh?" Elsa charged at me. "What is going on with this woman? Isn't she tired? The hell it is midnight already!" Nolly screamed in my head. "Suddenly a cat got your tongue, you cannot defend yourself huh?! You won't even dare because you are not my level. And I will say this to you one last time even if you got the attention of all the princes, do not dare come near me or my man! Is that understood?!" She shouted, anger evident in her voice. "Yes, ma'am," I said in a low voice. "I can't hear you?!" She shouted, approaching me fiercely. "Elsa? Where are you, sweetheart?" Gabriel called. "I'm here cutiepie." She answered and stepped back. "It's midnight baby, you should come to bed. I've missed th
Naomi's POV Soon, Malia was done and she was about to leave. "It's past midnight already. I think I should get some rest and you should too. It's been a long day." Malia comforted me. "Thanks, Malia. Thanks for always standing by me even when every other person despises me. I can always trust you in everything right?" I inquired. She came back and took my hands while she stared into my eyes "I've always got you, Naomi. Whatever may happen and whatever our colleagues may do to you I will always hold your hands and I will always love you as my best friend. And remember that you will always be the sister I never had and our friendship will not be broken, not now and not in the future to come and not by anything. I promise you today." Malia concluded her words with a hug that lasted for twenty minutes with tears rolling down my eyes. "You should run along now." I disengaged from the hug."Bye, sweetheart." She waved before reaching for the doorknob. "Bye, cuppy," I whispered. "Do y
Naomi's POV The way these four brothers are relating with me I don't think I will last in this Palace before I get thrown out by their father. "I think I should…I mean we should leave now." I jolt the both of us out of the tense moments we found ourselves. "Yes sure we should," Ethan answered but didn't let go of my waist. "You are still holding on…" I paused looking at him who doesn't seem to want to let go. "Naomi, I think there's something I need to let you know about." He started still holding on to me. "Can't everything wait till when next we see?" I whispered. "I think it's really important that I have to let you know that…" he got interrupted by the knock on the door. "Naomi, the head of maids asked me to let you know that if you are one minute late to the kitchen then you will be saddled with more work," Malia said. "That's my friend, I have to go," I whispered as he brought his lips closer to mine. "I…Can I…" Ethan stuttered as my eyes got shut. Knock! Kn
Naomi's POVI decided to keep quiet. I made sure that my heartbeat was a bit faint so they would not know that there was someone at the door. "So now you feel like you can use me and toss me away like the trash that I am, yeah? Don't give me that bullshit Gabriel, I demand an answer right now!" Elsa screamed."It's obvious you are trying to create a scene." He paused. "What part of I'm not interested in you anymore don't you get Elsa?" He asked, anger evident in his voice. "Do you think I'm that daft to believe that you are truly not interested in me anymore?" She asked, almost crying. " Babe wait, is this some sort of joke? You are joking right?" I heard her ask as the silence fell in the room. "Don't touch me, Elsa! As a matter of fact, my father was right about you. You disgust me and I can't believe that you went around telling everyone that you are my Luna when I've not even made you one. You are unbelievable and impossible as well." Gabriel charged. "I can't believe all this
Naomi's POV There was an awkward silence between the both of us as he approached his room."You know you can drop me now I'm fine." I tried to avoid him knowing fully well that if I stepped my foot into his room again, what happened the last time might repeat itself. "I can hear the thudding of your heart. Are you scared of me?" He asked. "You are the only girl I have seen who has mixed feelings! Naomi, get your act together, choose one, and stop denying your feelings. Can't you see that Hunter is in love with you?" Nolly asked. "Scared of you…maybe…I…um…the thing is…" I stuttered while he gently placed me on the bed. "Mmmm mmm. I'm listening. And you seem to be a bit timid. Look, Naomi, you might be a maid but you might be fit to be a princess someday." Hunter answered back. "Someone like me would never even dream of becoming a princess. And to say I got rejected by young master Gabriel so I think my life is over. I've been a maid for a long time in the palace. It is not a big
Naomi's POV He was about to kiss me when a knock landed on the door. "I…should…go," I whispered but he held me still. "I want you, Naomi." He whispered into my ear. Knock! Knock!!"I don't think they are going to go away," I replied. "Just stay, I will go." He replied. "Who is at the door?" He asked as I fidgeted. "Brother it's me, Ethan. I want to have a brief discussion with you." He answered back. Immediately I got up on my feet and started to look for a place to hide. "Can't we do that some other time?" Hunter asked. "I just thought that we needed to talk. Or am I interrupting something? If you are not available at the moment I can always come back." Ethan replied. "Wait. Come in, the door is open." Hunter let him in. "Thanks." He replied, surveying the room. Thank the goddess I was able to hide myself. "So brother, I don't know what to do anymore." Ethan started. "About what?" Hunter asked. "I'm back, yeah, and Father wants to ask me when I'll be going back to
Naomi's POV I became sweaty instantly and words failed me. "I…the thing is…he helped me…" I stammered. Ever since I've known the four brothers I've not had the courage to speak fluently. "I'm sorry Naomi. I wish I could think of a word right now for you to escape, but nothing is coming to my mind." Nolly apologized. "Suddenly you don't know what to say for yourself? Are you in love with my brother?" He asked as my heart raced faster. "Naomi, control yourself or you will be caught. You can't make that heart beat faster whenever you are near any of them. Or are you in love with them all?" Nolly whispered in my mind. "Why are you not saying anything? Why would you be in this place? I know this is my brother's…I mean if I'm right and I'm not in the wrong room, the last time I checked it's my brother's room. Do you two have something going on?" Ethan asked. "The thing…is…I…I… I fell and my leg…the wound opened up again so he…helped…" I scratched my head pointing to my leg. "And di
Naomi's POV My mate explained everything to me as fast as he could and in front of everyone. He knew she needed to sleep around him so he could monitor what she said. He had a lot of sleepless nights but he finally was able to carry it out. They found my sons but they kept them hidden from everyone including me. Hunter was only acting to have her close so she would trust him due to her love. He even made her send off her guards. But unfortunately, they were dead and gone. They were rogue wolves and all they deserved was death. Outsiders were not allowed in the pack. Malia was not able to recall sending them off because Hunter mate sent them off when she was asleep. All this while I thought I was being abandoned by my own I loved not knowing all he was doing was trying to save me the troubles. He was fighting and strategizing in the secret room to defeat the enemy. I smacked this hand playfully with a pout. “Why did you not tell me?” I asked “Malia had her spies everywhere. I did
Naomi's POV I never thought a day like this would ever exist. No one informed me of this happening today and in fact, it did not matter. If they had told me, it would not have changed my mind on the issue. I do not want my mate to be married to anyone else and most especially not Malia. I was close to not attending. I did not want to attend it. Why should I be in attendance? To give my position to that person who did not deserve it? The one person that wanted to watch me be humiliated in front of everyone. I just cannot. I was not going to give my position to a woman that I cannot trust. “She must attend” Malia said to Hunter in front of me “I do not want to” I said, firmly She scoffed and walked away without another word. “Naomi, please attend” Hunter said “Why should I attend? I can't watch you get married to some other lady, Hunter. Don't you see I'm in pain” I tried to explain to him but it fell on deaf ears “Naomi, I know you do not like what is going on but you have to att
Naomi's POV I sat at the back of the building crocheting. I was not so good but I rather do something with my hands or I do not think I would be able to resist, punching Malia until she lost consciousness. It had been days now and she was still at the mansion and I was yet to see my sons. I have not spoken with Hunter either. He loved being around Malia. He went on romantic walks as Malia called it. She made a show to show off during those walks. Not many people cared about them. They were thinking about getting back to their feet after the war and not working at the alpha and his newfound lover. I was being patient with Hunter. He needed to snap out of whatever was going on with him on his own. I could not do anything because Malia was always around him and touching him so much I could hardly stand it. I am still trying to understand what was the point of all of this. If truly I was losing my husband, then I should be able to hold my children. My husband was not there then my chil
Naomi's POV If shocked had a higher word… I was that. Hunter agreed to her plans. Did he hear her properly? She was asking that I be demoted to the rank of ordinary wife to him. I was his wife and his mate. I deserved to be Luna. Not an outsider. He could have tried to negotiate another way. Discarding me was going to give her the chance to walk on me without minding that I too was his wife. He could not look me in the eyes after doing that. He kept dodging my eyesight. Angry, I left the living room, walked up the stairs, and went into my room. I plopped on the bed, my leg going up and down in anxiety. He should have negotiated another way. Not accept her biddings. Would he allow her to mock me more than this in the near future? The door opened and I raised my head to have a look at who it was. I turned my head to the side, ignoring him. Hunter took off his jacket, placed it on the chair then approached me on the bed. He took position at the side I was looking at but I turned to th
I I walked back to my pack feeling assured that my plan had worked. I knew Alpha Silver was taken back and was still in shock about Emilia coming for his head. I laughed hysterically as I walked back into my room. I entered to see that Emilia was gone. " Emmy, are you in there?" I said walking towards the bathroom. "Where the hell is that bitch?" I said in frustration. I looked around and still couldn't find her. I went into the bathtub to have my bath. I heard the door creak open " Is that you, Emilia?" I shouted from the bathroom. Emily immediately came into the bathroom taking off her clothes. " Can I join you?" she saw with a smile " Of course, I checked when I got back and you were gone. Did you go somewhere?" I asked looking at her Emilia was good at hiding things from me I wonder how I was able to know she was planning my demise. Emilia looked at me and I knew she was going to have to lie to my face "Oh, I quickly went out for a walk. I needed to get some groceries too sin
Naomi's POV We finally had him. He surrendered. Even though it had to take the fall of most of the people first before he chose to do it, we still chose to give him a chance. If he was ready to repent and let go of all the bygones then we were ready to accept him with our full chest. However, he would have to be locked up first. Logan chose to take him. But no one expected what happened next. Malvin took out a dagger and stabbed Logan in his arm. We were a few steps away so before we could get to him, Malvin held Logan's head and took his sword to his head. “I am not playing with either of you. It's either you step down or you lose someone. I am not joking” Malvin said with his eyes wide with anger I turned to Hunter and then to the other men. Logan did not try to fight or stop Malvin. He held his arm with a frown on his face. “Are you doing as I asked?” Malvin yelled Logan had enough of this man, he pulled out the dagger and slit his wrist. The one that held the sword he had. Log
Naomi's POVI knew what I had to do. I ran fast with Conor moving beside me. I knew I was stretching him a bit further than he could but I had to push him. We were in danger. We had struggled to get to the end of the hallway but before we took the next hallway, I looked above my shoulder.Only to freeze when I saw what was happening. Hunter stood up with great effort. I could see it but just before he could recover from his throw, a larger man approached him. His sword was ready to dive into Hunter. Hunter stood frozen when the blade got to his stomach.I stretched my hand but then I was shocked to see the man freeze too. We all turned our gaze to the side and a little lower. My boys! I glanced at Conor and he left my hand and ran back to help his brothers. I moved slowly due to shock. My three sons were actually holding down a hefty man. A man six times their height. Even six times meant to be stronger than them but they were able to hold him down. The man kept trying to hit Hunter
Naomi's POVMy eyes instantly filled with tears as I shut it close. Weakness washed over me as I was gripped with fear and pain. My son. I wanted to scream but I paused my lips to stop it. I could not cry. These people should never see me cry but my heart ached.I wanted to tell them. They should have been patient. I would have told them. I knew it was wrong to do so. But if that was to save all of them. I would have begged Malvin. Maybe he would have compassion. He was close to them when things were good.He would be compassionate. That was what I had in mind. But now one of my sons is gone. My body shook with both pain and fear. This was just the beginning. We might lose so many of us. I found it hard to open my eyes.The fear of looking into the eyes of my Hunter. To stare at Conor's lifeless body. I could hear his voice calling me mama. I could still hear his laughter. I could hear his pouting voice when his brothers acted wrongly around him or to him.In my mind's eye, I pictured
Hunter's POVI could not let them win, could I? I kept asking this question while I stared at them. I knew everyone in the room knew I was not strong enough. Aside from the fact that I was covered in blood which could be a result of killing other people, my blood was still gushing out like an open stream.I knew they wanted to have a hold on us. And they actually do. My heart aches watching my son look frightened. My appearance was not what scared him but the man who kept on holding his neck. There was not an iota of conscience in his eye as he held a three-year-old without minding the fear.The man kept telling me to drop my sword. I could not do it. That was my only vantage point. I could not hold a punch. The only thing I had was this sword to cut the arm off or end the person. A fight without weapons on my end was going to end me at this rate.I glanced at Naomi. She pleaded with me with her eyes to do as the man said but she was just frightened. Maybe I could do it. Maybe I could
