Forty

Tossing and turning in my bed for three hours, the soft beeping of my mother’s heart monitor kept me awake, along with the thoughts that were swimming in my head.

The ball was in three days. In three days, my fear would be more of reality than fear. Brittany would take my place while I was still alive, all just because I was weak. Undeserving omega.

I sighed, seating up on my bed. The emotions roaring in my chest threatened to overwhelm me. The weight of my impending fate pressed down on my shoulders, and I couldn't shake the feeling of helplessness.

And sadness.

The room was dimly lit. The only illumination was the soft glow from my mother’s heart monitor. My mother laid sickly on the bed, her health getting worse and worse as the days went by.

I sighed again, brushing away the prickly feeling I get in my chest when I think of who she used to be.

Full of life. Happy with Papa.

Tears welled up in my eyes as I thought of my mother, lying unconscious, unaware of the pain in my he

    Forty-OneSethNaomi's eyes flashed with anger and a stinging slap landed on my face. The unexpected impact left a stinging feeling on my cheek as my face swung back, her reaction catching me off guard.I rubbed my cheek, a smirk on my lips as I nodded. I deserved that, I really did. I hurt her too much, I deserved more than that.Naomi's eyes were filled with sadness and anger, and she pushed me off her, "How dare you?" She seethed, her voice trembling with anger and pain.I met her gaze, the sight of her in pain filling me with guilt so much, that I felt like the biggest loser in the universe. I not only caused her pain, I gave her a taste of what could never be, and I made her think it was one-sided, that I didn't want to be with her.I couldn't stand Brittany, her eyes didn't glow like Naomi's did. After the week we spent together at my parents place, I finally understood why the moon goddess paired us together.But I wasn't deserving of her. She deserved better."You made me look

    Forty-TwoNaomiSeth placed hot kisses, making a trail down my body as he lowered down to my wet pussy, hungry and waiting for his cock.This wasn't supposed to be happening as I promised myself, that I would never submit myself to him in this manner after he publicly chose Brittany over me and made her his Luna in waiting when I was still alive, but he said he loved me.Seth loves me. Was he lying? I didn't have time to catch any signs of lies as the thumping of my heart blocked my senses. Seth has done nothing but break my heart over and over again, but the sound of him confessing his love was enough for me to throw every caution in the wind and let myself fall in his arms again.Why?Because I was an idiot.And because…I loved Seth too. More than I wanted to. That was why it hurt when he chose Brittany over me. That is why it hurts to hear him say he loved me. Because he didn't love me enough to choose me as his Luna.I wanted to push him off of me as he lowered towards my pussy,

    Forty-three Naomi Seth stroked my chin with so much tenderness and calmness, like he didn't just drop the biggest bombshell on my lap without any prior warning or disclaimer. My head was still reeling from his declaration, so my poor heart was sceptical, wondering if this was yet another scheme to break my heart ruthlessly like he has done since the day I laid my eyes on him. I gaped at him, confused and desperate, for him to tell me why he changed his mind all of a sudden, or for this dream to end, because I was way too confused to make a grammatically correct statement without sounding like I had two brain cells. I sprang up to my feet, my body just acting in flight mode as I snatched my nightdress from the pile on the floor where our clothes lie. This was a joke. A big, fat, hilarious joke. He was lying to me, and by the time it was sunrise, he would slam the bitter dark truth in my face, it was all a prank and he didn't truly love anyone but Brittany. Seth sprang up after m

    NaomiBrittany was Seth's problem to handle, Seth's words, not mine. He already had a plan to get rid of her without causing wars between her father, the Alpha of his pack and this pack.I agreed, not because of war, but because I wanted my face intact and fighting that Alpha female wasn't one thing I was going to do. With a spring in my steps and a smile on my face, Seth and I departed the rooftop, and Seth led me to my room, promising that was the last night I would be staying in that room, since I would spend the rest of the nights of my life in his arms. He made me look forward to forever. I tucked into my bed, the events of earlier tonight playing like a movie in my head. Seth loves me. Me.I blushed deeply as I squealed into my pillow, not wanting to wake up my mother.Luna Naomi, Queen Naomi.Excitement bubbled within me as I imagined being bowed to by all that once bullied me. The same people who abused me, coming to me for favours.And the look on Brittany's face when she

    NaomiWith a smile on my face, I carried my shopping bags in my hands, humming a happy tune despite the ache in my legs.My room came to view, a figure pacing in front of the door with anger.I stopped in my tracks as I saw Brittany pacing in front of my room, her fists clenched and her expression furious.Could it be that Seth already told her I was going to be Luna?If that was the case, isn't she supposed to be out of the pack already? Scepticism filled me as I eyed her, unease with her presence in front of my door, and the absence of anyone else in the hallway.I moved my feet closer to her, ready to get whatever this was over with. Brittany's pacing slowed down as she finally noticed my presence. She turned her furious gaze towards me, her eyes filled with venom."Where have you been you stupid slave?" She spat, her eyes blazing with venom.I opened my mouth to reply, but her gaze fell to the shopping bags I had in my grip."Give me that." She snatched the bags from my grip. He

    SethI checked the border one last time to ensure my most trusted men were on guard for the ball, so we had the best of the best security while hosting the most prestigious people in the kingdom. We couldn't afford a rogue breech, especially not at this period of time where rogues saw the best opportunity to attack everyone at once. The last time that sort of thing happened was a few years ago, when the rogues attacked in such coordination then ever before, ruled by a self appointed rogue king. They managed to slaughter some of my men, but due to the efficient training they were given, they handled the situation well, containing the rogues before they could hurt the members and the visitors.Ever since then, we ensured the border was strengthened at this time of the year. No one knows when the rogue king, like he calls himself would attack again.Better to be safe than sorry. A mind link request came in and I accepted it. The maid announced that she had dropped off the dress and I

    The rays of sun flooded my eyes immediately I widened them, and I winced, feeling my migraine worsen."I'll pull the curtains close." The voice sent warmth through me, and I pried my eyes open again, now easily because of the closed curtains.Seth stood beside the bed, gazing down at my form. My eyes searched his face, as I tried to recollect what brought me to his room, and why I was in his clothes and not mine.He moved closer towards me, taking a seat on the spot on the bed beside me. My eyes followed his movements, and I tried to sit up, but I suddenly felt a bout of dizziness."Woah, take it easy, fighter." He chuckled as he helped me lay back on my back. His words sent my memories flooding back in. Brittany and I.Brittany almost killing me. Oh goddess. My hand flew over my mouth. I could have died. I could have died if not because Seth came at that particular moment."You saved me," I whispered, my words sounding too heavy for my ears as I stared at Seth. His face held somethin

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
