Naomi's pov.
I watched as everybody and their mothers walked past me in their best attire on their way to Alpha's ball.
It was the most awaited party of the year and everyone was dressing to impress. Not to mention the fact that the Alpha might be choosing a mate this time around. Everyone was trying to look their best so that they could be chosen.
"I wish you'd change your mind and come," Lily said behind me and I rolled my eyes, turning around to face her.
I gasped at the beautiful red gown adorning her figure.
"You look amazing!" I remarked, my eyes eating up her lovely dress that suited her olive skin tone and blonde hair.
"Thank you," she said, twirling around to show it off.
"You are welcome," I smiled, proud of how gorgeous she looked, "and I'm not interested in going to a party. Especially one in the pack house." I remarked, walking past her to get some earrings that I thought would look better on her.
"Why not?" She asked.
I looked over at her from my dresser.
"You know why, I wouldn't be welcomed there plus I need to stay home with my father tonight, he doesn't look so good,"
"Oh, come on. What if this is your chance to meet the Alpha? What if he likes you back ?"
I burst out laughing as I plucked the earrings from my dresser and walked over to her.
"Right because the Alpha of the pack is going to take one look at my ugly outcast ass and nod that I'm the one. Please,"
I laughed again. I was laughing but it hurt because it was the truth. I was not the type of girl the Alpha would go for, hell, not even the omegas wanted me.
I was an outcast, a loner and according to most members of the pack, no better than a rogue and they were right
My father, the former Beta of the pack and now an elder, had rescued me twenty years ago during the great rogue attack in the pack.
He'd found me outside the border, close to a tree crying with blood all over me, he had wanted to leave me there but couldn't stomach it, so he'd taken me in and when the Elders had queried him for bringing an unknown rogue child into the pack, he'd pleaded and had even had to step down as elder in-order to keep me.
"Don't sell yourself short like that, Naomi, you are gorgeous and the Alpha would be dumb not to find you attractive."
I rolled my eyes and gestured for her to turn around. I put the earrings on her and she squealed in excitement at how great it went with the dress.
"Thank you so much, It looks great!" She said and hugged me.
Lily was the only friend I had in the pack, she was the only one who treated me like I was worth anything. We had met in pup elementary school, where other pups were making fun of me and beating me up, she was defending me and following me around like a lost puppy. Even when I tried pushing her away, for some reason she never stopped having my back.
"You are welcome., You should probably hurry before the Alpha falls in love with someone else other than you."
I shooed her out the door and handed her bag over to her.
"Bye," she waved at me.
I let out a tired sigh as I watched her go.
I turned to go back into the house but as I did, I felt something hard hit me on my shoulders followed by a harsh voice yelling a me to go back to my rogue life.
I looked over at the culprit, it was a fourteen-year-old boy, one of the Elders’ son
Ignoring him, I walked back inside. I wasn't going to let anyone break my spirit today.
Sure, I didn't get to go to the Alpha's birthday party and one of their year anniversary as Alpha party but that didn't mean u was worthless. I ignored the pain in my heart and went to check on my father.
As I got close the his door, I could hear him coughing. I hastened my steps and barged into his room only to find him on the floor, convulsing.
"Dad!" I ran to him, my heart beating in my chest. I pulled his head up and placed him on my lap, unsure of what to do to stop the rapid rise and fall of his chest entire and body.
"Dad! Wait, please." I pleaded with him. trying to get him to calm down.
Quickly, I dragged a pillow from his bed placed it in place of his head, and then cleared the area to prevent him from injuring himself. I began to take off his clothes so that he could breathe properly.
What on earth was going on? He'd taken his meds barely an hour ago.
"Dad, please, stay with me!" I pleaded, my heart beating as I tried to get his seizure to stop.
I moved down to his abdominal area and began to press in his stomach.
Eventually, his seizure stopped but he was barely breathing. y breathing became shallow as I tapped him to wake up but he did
"Father wake up!" I pleaded with him, opening his eyes to check for any sign of life.
I quickly felt his pulse and it was faint, too faint.
I needed to find a doctor now.
"I'll be back dad, I'm going to go get the pack doctor," I said to him and ran with all my might to the pack clinic only to find it locked.
In a state of confusion, I wondered where on earth the doctor could and I realized there was only one place all of the doctors and nurses could be at this time, The Alpha's party.
Without wasting a single second, I ran to the pack house, my heart beating within my chest as fear gripped me.
I was doing my best to be strong but I had to terrible feeling that I would not make it in time to my father.
The thoughts alone fueled my legs to run even faster.
"Doctor Harrison!" I called as soon as I got to the pack house, surprisingly the pack guards didn't stop me as I tried to go in.
"Has anyone seen Doctor Harrison?" I yelled, pushing through the crowd to get to him.
"Eww, what is she doing here?" A voice said as I passed them
"The slave girl is here," another one said.
"Is she even allowed here?" Another voice said but I ignored them, I was too focused on finding Doctor Harrison or any doctor at all.
I was still moving through the crowd checking every face, trying to find Doctor Harrison, when I felt the hands of someone grab me.
"You came!" Lily squealed.
A strong scent filled my nostrils and I glanced away from the lily, trying to find where it was coming from.
I wasn't sure when I let go of Lily but I was now in front of the ballroom, walking towards the Alpha of the pack.
His blue eyes met with mine and the air became thick with tension.
Slowly, the Alpha stood up from his chair, his eyes still glued to mine as if something was connecting our eyes, and growled out.
"Mate"l
Naomi's pov."Mate,"My Wolf growled out after him and the entire pack gasped in shock. I couldn't see their faces, I was too shocked and focused on my destined mate to pay them any mind but I could tell what every one of them was thinking. The Alpha inched closer to me, the mate bond pulling us closer and closer to each other relentlessly. I couldn't stop moving even if I wanted to and I certainly didn't want to, my wolf wouldn't let me. She was too excited to be claimed and so was I. I could feel my heart and my soul aching for him to mark me it was almost painful.I wasn't touching him yet but I could feel the intensity of our bond like it was something tangible like his skin.My breathing was labored the more I neared him, the more my breath came out in a short burst of air.I wanted him so much that I forgot everything I had come here for. I was eager to be claimed by the Alpha who I have incidentally always had a huge fucking crush on.I never thought in my wildest dreams that
Baron's povI clenched my jaw, watching as my guards practically dragged my so-called mate out of the party with the party attendees laughing at the scene.I was finding it difficult to sit still. What had started as a pleasant meeting was starting to look like a terrible fucking mistake.One of the major reasons that I cared to celebrate my birthday and my Coronation anniversary was because I had a plan and it was to invite the Dragonmoon pack princesses so I could find some kind of common ground with the processes but once again they had sent a simple councilman to cover for the fact that they couldn't make it and as if that wasn't enough, that vermin of a rogue had to ruin it all by being my mate.I was already tired and bored of the night"Boss, that was a little hard," my beta said, using the mind link."I don't care. I'm going upstairs, figuring a way to get the guests out of my house early enough,""But you are the host,* my beta pointed out "Not anymore, take over for me," I
Naomi's pov.I paced my cell, waiting for news on my father. I couldn't believe that they had not gotten my father a doctor like I had asked. I wasn't even sure why I had believed that they would. They all hated my guts and it was simply because I was, according to them, a representation of what had happened to them twenty years ago.Not only was I hurt by their words, I was distraught, growing up without a mother and a barely-there adoptive father was more brutal on me than I'd like to admit. Sometimes, I found myself wishing he'd never found me.I heard footsteps walking into the dungeon and my heart began to beat in my chest. I needed to know that my father was okay. That was all that mattered to me right now…Alpha Baron who'd disappeared awhile ago appeared in front of my cell with his eyes blazing with what looked like hate. I quickly scrambled up from the floor and ran towards him, holding the bar that separated us both."How is he?" I asked, my voice coming out panicked. I di
Naomi's povEverything moved in slow motion as the guards carried me out of the courtroom.I had been banished?It was like I was in some kind of trans.I didn' want to believe it.I heard Lily call out my name in the crowd and I glanced at her, unable to hide my tears anymore."Help me!" I yelled and she barreled through the crowd yelling "Rogue must go!" trying to get to me."Let her go!" Lily yellled as she neared but she was instantly blocked by the guards. I tried to stretch my hands to hold her but we just couldn't reach each other."Naomi!" She yelled, trying to reach me still but no matter how much she tried, she just couldn't get to me.I cried out loud begging for them to let me go or at least let me see my father but they didn't listen.Lily's voice became a distant memory as they pushed me into the back of the car and drove me to the border of the car."Get out you murderer!" One of the guards dragged me out and pushed me till I was outside the border of the pack."Please
Naomi’s povI couldn’t hold in the laughter after hearing what the young man standing in front of me said to me, I looked at him and laughed out loud.While laughing I stared at him and realized he was not smiling which means he might be serious when he said that to me. My smile slowly faded as my face got serious.“Do you mean what you just said to me?” I asked him with a serious look on my face. He stared at me and heaved a sigh.“I mean what I said, we’ve searched everywhere for you, but all these years you’ve been nowhere to be found, luckily the moon goddess brought you my way.” I blinked my eyes several times and pinched my cheeks to confirm it wasn’t a nightmare.“Ouch!” I screamed out when I felt the pain of pinching myself on the cheek. There’s no way I’ve been going through so much when I’m supposed to be living as royalty. “How…sure are you, I'm the one you’ve been Looking for?”I asked for clarity and stared at his face to test the sincerity in his reply. “The birthmark on
Naomi povI couldn’t stop pacing around the room after the Omega came to tell me about dinner.I couldn’t tell where to start from and what I would say to them while eating with them for dinner.“This is not good.” I muttered to myself feeling ashamed, I don’t know why I was feeling too ashamed but I really shouldn’t be feeling this way.I stood up from the bed after summoning the courage to step out of the room. I walked to the mirror and stared at myself, then I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before stepping out of the room.While walking down the stairs everyone's attention moved to me as I was walking downstairs, it felt like I was sinking inside the ground as I sighted all of them staring at me.“Hi.” I said awkwardly as I sat down to eat.“That’s mine.” A light voice from behind said to me the moment I sat on the chair.“Cassie, don’t be rude.” The Alpha said to her. From the way he sounded I could immediately tell that he was a loving father to my supposed siblings becau
Alpha Baron povIt’s been days now since I banished my supposed mate out of the pack and I can’t stop thinking about her, which is why I feel banishing her was really the best thing for me to do.“Boss, are you listening to me?” My Beta called back my attention the moment he asked me the question. I snapped out of my thoughts and turned to look at him.“What were you saying?” I asked him so that he can explain everything he already said earlier. From the way he was staring at me I could already tell that he was curious to know where my head was when he was talking to me.“Boss I don’t think it’s okay for me to repeat everything I said, it’s better you take a break and clear your head.” I placed my hand on my forehead and sighed after hearing what my Beta said to me.I felt it was a punishment from the moon goddess for rejecting her in the first place.“Can I talk to you as a friend and not your Alpha?” I asked my Beta because I was in desperate need to talk to someone and explain what
Naomi povAfter taking a tour around the pack house with the help of my sisters, I realized that everyone in the pack house had special power which makes the Dragonmoon pack stand out.“Are you settling well?” Cassie asked. I looked around and sighed. When I first got here I thought I would go crazy because I couldn’t understand anyone or anything, but after spending a little time, I guess I’ll be able to settle sooner than I expected.“With the help of you two I guess I am.” I said to them with a smile on my face. After spending little time with them, I realized that Cassie was a good girl very different from what I imagined her to be, which is why I’m very curious to know why she reacted that way to the dining.“Good to hear.” Annabelle said with her soft voice. Annabelle is the opposite of Cassie, she is very calm and soft spoken, even when she’s angry she knows how to control it like she did that day on the dining table.While we were smiling I couldn’t stop stressing my head tryin
