Fifty-Two Naomi Aubrey's face was clouded with disappointment and boredom as they strayed to the door at every beat the music made. I could tell she was getting agitated, today was the one day she anticipated the most, and her mate was still nowhere to be found. "Aubrey. " Making my way to her, I ignored the party goers who stared at me intently, no doubt trying to figure out how I, an omega, was their queen. But they cleared the way so I could pass through. Aubrey turned to me, her lips attempting to curl into a smile but failing miserably as she failed to hide her feelings. Her eyes confirmed what I already knew. Her mate wasn't here, and we were already halfway into the night. "I kept wondering what my mate would look like and sound like, but not once did it cross my mind that he might not come." Her lower lip quivered as I took her hand in mine. "Don't worry Aubrey, the night is still on. There's still some time left. I'm sure he's going to be here." Her eyes shone with
Fifty-ThreeSethI couldn't believe all that I was being told. Everything, every single thing, added up. Indeed her records were questionable, but because her parents were omegas, we didn't question them.But here was proof from my doctors. She is related to the man who tried to kill me. But that doesn't mean that what we have is fake, right?Right ?I could feel the sincerity from her gaze as she pleaded with me, but Mt mind was somewhere else. Was it planned? She coming into my life, was it staged? Was her love fake? Did she even love me?Was the mate bond even real? The rogues were known to play dirty. They always befriended witches to make them do their dirty jobs.Connor shot me a sympathetic look as he saw my jaw drop at the reveal, he also couldn't believe we have been living with the enemy for so long.I even slept with the enemy. I fell in love with her!I couldn't stop my legs from moving, and soon after, I stood in front of her, my heart breaking as I took in her innocent
Fifty-FourNaomiWith one last unreadable look at me, Seth walked away from the ballroom, leaving me in the tight grip of the guards, Luke, Connor and Aubrey.Aubrey's wet eyes met mine, and I could see she was still trying to hold on to the trust and hope she had in me."Aubrey…" I began, but Luke's orders quieted me. "Take her to the dungeon with her brother. Make sure she doesn't talk you out of anything." Luke's behaviour shocked me. Was that what I've become? A traitor? Was I no longer your friends? The guards nodded, and began to drag me out of the ballroom.Whispers followed us as the ball goers pointed at me and gossiped, saying different hurtful things.Aubrey tried to follow me, but Connor dragged her back, petting her as they dragged me to the very place I was the last moon ball I attended.It's funny really. My big break became my worst nightmare. Numerous lies against me, so many of them there was no way for me to prove that I was lied against. Were they even ready to
Fifty-Five Naomi Werewolves scare me. Majorly, what they were willing to do for power, and who they didn't mind throwing under the bus. As Clinton, one of Seth's most trusted guard brought me clothes to change in, and a book and pen to write on, for me, I knew Seth was in danger. Imagine being surrounded with people who wanted you dead? Leaving my beautiful red dress, a dress that signified a hope that was trampled on, on the floor for Seth to see when he came to look for me and found out I wasn't there. Xander also said I should write a note, hence the book and pen. "The path for your escape is clear. Finish up so we can be on our way." Clinton said and I couldn't prevent myself from glaring at the traitor. "He trusted you." Clinton smirked, "That's his mistake. Now hurry up, slut. Unless you want to be killed." I opened my mouth to say some nasty things, but Xander shut me up by thanking Clinton, as if he didn't just call his sister a slut. What did I expect? Out of all
Fifty-SixNaomiMy head spun as I regained consciousness, my head throbbing and pulsing as my lids struggled to open and adjust to the light.The bed under me was the softest thing I had ever felt, and I snuggled closer into the pillow, momentarily forgetting my headache.Momentarily forgetting the hell my life turned into in the span of twenty four hours. My eyes opened wide as every single thing came rushing back with the force of a hurricane, and my chest constricted as the sight of Seth's eyes losing the life in them flashed back like a bad dream.Only it wasn't a bad dream. Seth was actually killed by my brother.A scream left my lips as I remembered, and I scrambled to my feet, momentarily losing my balance, then falling to the hardwood with a loud thud, the pain shooting through my body.Tears welled up in my eyes as the truth hit me. Seth... Seth is dead. No, it can't be.It can't be! My Seth... It's all my fault! Crouching on the floor, I sobbed until I couldn't sob any
Fifty-SevenNaomiThe obnoxious ball dress I was given to wear by the witch bitch weighed a ton as I struggled to walk in the six inch heels adorning my feet, causing me to sway like a drunk penguin out of the room. I thought I was to meet the king- my supposed father, so i had no idea why I was dressed like this. Not only was he evil, but also old fashioned? Because there was absolutely no reason I should be dressed this way in this century.But all that didnt matter, not when I couldn't get the image of Seth’s body slumping like a sack after Xander stabbed him. Xander took away my happiness. And to repay the favour, I would avenge my love. I would bring justice to the kingdom and regain the trust of my kingdom, and be the luna they deserved. I just need to find out what they were planning, why they needed me, and how to gain their trust.Then destroy them from within.“Now you look prettier with your mouth shut.” Hazel smirked in satisfaction as she marvelled at her handiwork, trans
Fifty-eightNaomiMy heart stopped in my chest as I stared at the king, the immobility spell still on me.All eyes were trained on me, waiting for my reaction. But I was numb. Completely numb.I couldn't even blink.I'm pregnant? A laugh almost escaped my lips at the cruel joke.Surely the moon goddess wouldn't do that, right? And if I was indeed pregnant, why didn't I find out? Why didn't Seth find out?"That's not true." I finally whispered, refusing to believe any words that came out of their mouths. There was no way I was pregnant.The king chuckled. "Not only are you dumb, but you are also stubborn. I get that your senses were dulled because you were not in your home land for a while, but now that your senses are heightened, are you telling me that you cannot hear the faint heartbeat from within you?"I kept still, my heart beat echoing in my ears as I tried to listen to whatever he said.A faint heartbeat echoed in my ears, causing my mouth to drop open. Something was growing wi
Fifty-Nine Seth The minute the assassin stabbed me with the knife, I thanked the moon goddess for giving me the opportunity to love someone like Naomi, because the love I had for was the one encouragement I had when I was rushed to the clinic, and during my healing process. The love was the one thing keeping me going as I promised to burn the whole rogue kingdom to the ground. The love was the one thing motivating me to never rest until I captured her, and made her suffer for the rest of our lives, as I made her take back the words she said to rip my heart out that night. She would pay with her life, while I show her why she should never deceive me again. I would never rest until I found her. The Seth who would sacrifice anything to make sure she was safe wS dead now. Now this Seth would do everything to make her suffer, until the lies she told became her only reality. She lied that she loved me, and the joke's on her. She would have to love me until that was the only thin
XanderImmediately those words left her beautiful mouth, i bunched up her dress, exposing her clean body, her pussy was already wet and I smirked as the wetness even soiled her panties.I slid a finger through her panties and pulled it off as slowly as I could, my eyes never leaving hers as she watched me in fascination, swallowing softly as I slid it past her feet and onto the grass beside us.She moaned as I hung her legs over my shoulders, not once breaking eye contact.She shook slightly and her once tearing eyes now stared at me, lust filled and I swallowed a groan. “You are so beautiful.” I whispered as I slid down her body, so that my lips were directly over her lips, if you know what I’m saying.I blew air into her slit and she whimpered. “Xander please.”I slid my finger lazily down her wet soft core and she shivered in and grabbed me tight as I slid my finger into her waiting pussy, a groan leaving my lips as she moaned, her walls clenching deliciously around my finger.“You
Xander and HazelXanderHazel and I have been together for a year as husband and wife. As the gamma of the kingdom, I have been assigned with many roles Seth trusted me with. Especially secruritunand assassination of criminals.Hazel, apart from being a mother, was also the pack witch.Our lives changed for the better after we became a family, and when our baby girl came, it became the best.We were in love with our family, and although things were hard, we still found time for each other.But recently things changed.Hazel and I began fighting more than ysual, and the sexual spark we had became nonexistent. It bothered me that our home wasn’t as nice as it used to be, but I had no idea how to fish it, or even how to start.We hardly saw each other anymore, and slowly I figured it wasn’t because of our duties.Hazel was avoiding me.Could I have done something? I’ve been nothing but loyal and devoted and seeing our love die a slow death caused my heart to ache in pain.I had to fix it
SethThe dinner party my parents hosted for my mother’s birthday was the first party Naomi and I were attending since Star was born and it felt good to be in the midsts of people who didn’t demand something from you every tens seconds, and the availability of plenty alcohol and snacks.Things we never allowed near the house because Alistar.I loved my baby boy. He was sharp and smart, and very stubborn too, just like every male he was related to. But he always took Naomi away from me.I wanted time with her and we almost never had time. But tonight, while he was with the baby sitters at the party, I planned to sneak Naomi back to the house and lock the doors.As if on cue, Naomi descended the stairs with a soft smile on her lips, and my eyes raked down her beautiful body which became even beautiful as she grew older.Her brown hair was packed on top her head in a messy yet classy bun, and she wore a beautiful mermaid cut dress, clinging onto her delicious curves. It was early in the n
ConnorThe last events ever since that night have proven one thing right, we needed a well deserved vacation.Aubrey finished her training as a warrior, and it was so damn sexy to know my mate was sexy, smart, beautiful and didn’t need me to kick some ass. It made me thirsty for her, like every other day.And she matched my vibe perfectly. She needed me too.We both deserved a vacation away from everyone. The kids didn’t make it easy and as their uncle and aunt, we suffered too much it made me wonder what their parents thought. They could be bundles of joy, but I need a weekend without hearing babies roar with tears every ten seconds.So we planned to go to a beach resort in the human world. Aubrey has never left the werewolf world, so I had to show her a lot of sights especially in this place called Hawaii.As we slid our backs down the floor as we arrived at our hotel, she let out a gleeful look. “Humans are really just us, but less attractive it’s so cute!”I laughed, “How’s that
AubreyMy heart raced with happiness as I tried to push the Naomi issue aside and focus on my mate, my man, my beta and the live of my life, Connor.He smirked at me as he pushed open his door, then didn’t even wait before closing the door to claim my mouth with his. My heart sparked with life as my wolf happily jumped around as we deepened the kiss, and his hands began to work on the straps of my dress.He pushed closed the door, and his attention was solely on me. “Make me the happiest man and fuck me.” He whispered causing my thighs to clench together in a desperate need for the sexy man that stood before me.He undid the straps and the dress came pooling down at my feet. My underwear wasn’t anything special, my chest was bare, and the underwear was lacy and thin, it being just a g- string. The dress warranted that I wear such an underwear, and I happily accepted my decision as Connor’s eyes swept over my body hungrily, his tongue farting to wetter his lips as his eyes fell to my
ConnorAs I made eye contact with Aubrey from across them hall and my wolf growled mate in a very animalistic manner, I wondered how I was so dense to have not noted the signs. The scent. The string delicious scent that made my mouth water every time it wafted in my nose.The smell of her arousal.Why I couldn’t stop thinking about her every second of the passing day..My wolf wanting to be around her every single dayShe was my mate, my other half, and I would have laughed in happiness if we didn’t have a crisis that would warrant us locking up her best friend.She was devastated as she cried for my to help her, but hearing that someone wanted to kill the king and having practiced proof to back it up was a tough thing to just push aside. I didn’t believe they claims against Naomi. Naomi would never do anything to hurt Seth, and it puked all be clear in the morning.And the party ended when Naomi was being taken away, Aubrey moved to follow her but I stopped her, pulling her into a
AubreyThe day has come, and i have never felt more depressed in my whole life. Naomi was practically brimming with life as we began getting ready for the ball, and all I could think about as I faked my happiness was who would I end up with and who would Connor end up with?As the chaos of the working maids and chatter filled the room where we got ready for the ball, I couldn't shake off the feeling of impending dread.Today would make it official. Once Connor finds his mate, he wouldn’t want to have anything to do with me again.I wanted him so bad it hurts. I wanted to get up from this chair where I sat while the make up artists poked and prodded my face, and I wanted to scream and run towards him and take all I said back, But I couldn't.Another sigh left my lips. I knew I had to put on a brave face, no matter how much it tore me apart inside. At the hall, when he finally finds his mate, I know I would have to pretend as if I was happy for him.Then I would leave the pack immediat
Aubrey“I love you.”I ran into my room, and landed onto the bed, bursting int tears as I fisted my bed tight.Connor loves me?He was so ready to sacrifice everything for me, and what did I say? But I knew if I had accepted, it would be mediocre. What if he finds his mate, more pretty and more fit to be a beta female? From a good family and his mother could approve of her.In every way different from me. And then the mate pull. I heard it was automatic, it was almost too hard to resist when you see the person and then you decide you’ve never felt anything like that.What if he finds his mate then sees he didn’t want me after all? What if he sees it wasn’t love he had for me, and that he loves her?I wouldn’t live with myselfAnd also, his mother.That witch made it clear what she was going to do to my family if I went against her.If I went against her and she does something to my family, the guilt would bury me alive.There were so many reasons why I couldn’t just jump into his ar
ConnorRushing back to the pack was a granted. Also was muting my phone to stop my mother from disturbing me with calls for the antidote I was not going to give her anytime soon.My driver aimed directly for Aubrey’s house.She didn’t men’s w hat she wrote in that letter, did she ?She couldn’t have. I felt it. It was different.It was supposed to happen. I couldn’t even imagine letting her go. I was a new man, she made me a new man and I couldn’t imagine my life without her now that she was in it.I hated this girl. Because of something my mother did.My mother has been the devil since forever but now she knows I’m never to be messed with.My feet carried me as fast as it could immediately the car stopped and I headed to the house one dark haired girl had described to me as the house where Aubrey and her family stayed. The minute I can, I would take them under my protection and give them the retirement they deserved.I ran my hand through my hair. I was getting ahead of myself. Could
