***Leo’s POV*** Nora's warm hands massaged my shoulders gently and I felt all the tension and heaviness leaving my body. "Babe," I whispered. "Huh! " She sat on the bed and gave me her undivided attention. "Why are your parents against you, especially your mum? I've noticed the way she looks at you every other day, "I asked, turning more to her. Nora took a deep breath and her gaze met mine briefly before she averted her eyes. Her hazel eyes were filled with pain and sorrow as if I had unveiled an old wound. She exhaled loudly before speaking. "My father was not always like this. He was a sweet and loving man. At one point, he was the center of my universe. " She smiles softly, "He was attentive to my needs and used to take time out of his busy schedule just to play with me or take me out for ice cream or a walk...... But things went south when I turned ten...... My father’s attitude changed as time went by. And we gradually drifted apart. I'm still n
*** LEO’S POV*** I threw on grey sweatpants and a white vest while humming the melody of a song. I gin as I recall the conversation I had with my mate last night. I felt so relieved after coming clean with her. My heart felt lighter, as if the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders. She also accepted me for who I am, which put my heart and mind at ease. Everything was much better between us. I was beaming from ear to ear and couldn’t help but feel giddy inside. I never thought this would happen to me. That I will get to this point in my life. It felt amazing to have a caring and understanding woman by my side. Nora is my safe haven, my refuge, and the source of warmth that my soul yearns for. I picked up my phone from the bedside locker and dialed her number. "Where are you, little mate?" I asked in a husky voice when the call pushed through. She giggles. "Aww... someone is missing my presence already," she teased, putting a smile on my face. From her
***Leo’s POV*** Little Enoch briskly ran on his small feet in front of me, taking a defensive stance. "You can’t take Luna away. He didn’t do anything wrong, "Enoch screamed. "He is the devil. I saw everything, "he yelled, pointing at Mason. The pack members gasp. Enoch folded his arm over his chest like a bodyguard and pouted his red lips. I smile, gazing at the little boy who I have grown fond of over the days. "What do you mean, Enoch?" Elyssa bent to the level of her younger brother. "What did you see?" "I was playing with my ball when I saw the devil pacing up and down. When Luna came out of the elevator, the devil approached him and started slapping himself like a psycho... He even pushed Luna. " Enoch shouted to the hearing of everyone. "We can’t believe the words of a little boy. What if this omega brainwashed him? " Benedict snarled. "He is not that little father. Enoch is nine years old. He knows the difference between right and wrong. Besides, why are you defending
*** Mason’s POV*** I slammed my car door shut and drove away. Through the review mirror, I watched the warriors of the Blackwood pack run in their wolf form behind my car until I crossed their border.. I can't believe Nora and her lover humiliated me in front of the whole pack. I was reduced by blackwood pack to nothing. I won't let it go. I won't forgive any of them. I growled, trying to keep my rage in check. What the fuck am I going to do now? I hit my head on the steering wheel. I was enraged. I was angry at myself for not being smart enough as I should have been. I was angry at Nora and her stupid omega for treating me like sandpaper. "Damnit!! You ruined everything. How are you going to fix this, huh?" my wolf snorted, pushing forward in my head. "You mean, how are we going to fix this?" I gritted my teeth. "Didn’t I tell you to wait? All you had to do was to attack at the right time. But you blew our only chance of getting rid of the omega. You ruin us with y
*** Nora’s POV*** " All romantic lovers show by hand, "Elyssa asked, flipping through tons of movies after we joined the guys in the movie room. The boys groan in irritation on hearing the word romantic. "I'm in," Lilly exclaimed and enthusiastically, raised her hand. "Nora, what are you waiting for?" Lilly uttered with her hand still up in the air. "Don’t tell me you want horror." Elyssa widened her eyes as she stopped what she was doing. I chuckled. "What do you want us to watch, babe?" I asked, turning to my mate. "Why are you asking your man? Where is your loyalty? " Lilly questioned in a grumpy tone, shifting her eyes between Leo and me. Leo and I laughed. "My loyalty is with my mate." I giggled " I want him to enjoy the movie. What do you want to see? " I asked, trailing my nose against his neck. He thought for a while... "Comedy?" Leo said, in the form of a question. Lily and Elyssa pouted while Dave and Josh groaned, making my mate and I giggle.
***Elyssa's POV*** A week later..... I pace in my office waiting for the call to push through. It's been a week and Mason has been silent, which is far-fetched. As beta of the pack, it's my duty to protect my leaders and pack. I knew Mason was planning something big against the Alpha and Luna. I'm going to find out what it is. I'll find evidence or something we can use against him before he makes another move. "Did you find anything? I asked James anxiously immediately when he picked up. "Yes, I did. I had been meaning to call you but I got swamped with a lot of paperwork, "James's deep voice mutters "That's okay. Send it to me via email. " "No, we need to meet up. It's in the form of a hardcopy, "James informed. "Okay, when can I get the file? I need it ASAP" I asked impatiently, and leaned against my desk. "Now, will be fine if you're cool with it. Babe " "Now is good. I will see you shortly, love. " I smiled and placed the phone back on my desk. I stormed o
***Josh's POV*** "Hello, welcome to the Blackwood pack." I welcomed Mason's mate, Mark, after I waited for him for over forty minutes. "Hello," he said, averting his gaze. He looks awkward and nervous, as if he has been invited into a lion’s den. Mark appears to be innocent. I wonder why the moon goddess was so cruel and paired him with a selfish bastard like Mason. He was a short, frail looking man whose aura was giving off innocence. His skin was pale with freckles on his cheeks. His eyes were emerald green and he was about 5’2. From his scent, I could tell straight away that he was an omega. "Shall we? " "Yes, please.. lead the way," he says with a nod. I led him into the room adjoining the conference room on the first floor. Just like the Alpha suggested. "Please have a seat, the meeting will start shortly", I informed him. I quickly muttered through the mind link "Alpha, it’s done," "Good job. Keep him occupied until the meeting starts. " She praised him and closed the li
***Nora's POV*** . Mason became stiff as he watched the picture on the screen with his mouth open. I chuckled, gazing at him. "You were saying??" I taunted him as Leo laughed. His family was frozen in their seats with a look of disbelief. "Omega!!" "Really!!" "You always looked down on omegas not knowing you were sleeping with one", I giggled. "How is sex??" "Is it up to your standards!! Is your mate good in bed?" "I bet your mate is, since you have been sneaking around like a rabbit for two years ".I teased and smirked. while Elyssa and Lilly giggled "This is not true. He is not my mate!!" Mason hissed. "Then who is he, Mason? Tell us, we all want to know", Elyssa asked in sarcasm. The look on Mason’s is something I will never forget. He looked like someone who would piss on himself any moment from now. A minute passed and Mason couldn’t answer…. " He is.." He started panicking. I could hear Mason’s heart racing from where I was seated, making my sneer widen.... "He
