Chapter Forty FourSenina raced down to the Moonstruck Estate and once again, slid into her parking spot at the hospital.Although she did it on a regular basis, there was a feeling of dรฉjร vu and she knew that it was from the day she had met Naomi.She really hoped Zekell was lazying around in her office as well.She barged into her office and there he was. But this time, he was flipping through one of her magazines.He looked up in surprise and paused mid-flip.Zekell really needed to get a hobby or something. They would talk about that later.โSafe speaking mode?โ She frantically inquired.โYeahhh.โ He drew out the word slowly because he was already suspicious. โIโm glad youโre here. Iโm going to need you to back me up; just follow my lead. Itโs really important.โ She said hurriedly.Zekell dropped the magazine on the desk and sighed. โOh no, I know what that means. Sen, what did you do this time?โSenina flipped her hair over her shoulder. โHey! I take offence at you already judg
Chapter Forty FiveโDaykanโฆโ Naomi said breathlessly.Okay, this was a surprise.What was it with these men and showing up in unexpected places today?โNaomi, you look so beautiful.โ Daykan said softly and he meant it.She had done something with her hair and it fell in waves around her.She was wearing a simple red dress. It was just above her knee and with crisscross straps. She was wearing the black heels from their last date and holding a matching black purse. She was wearing tiny pearl earrings and no other form of jewelry.She had put some make up on.She looked stunning and it pained him to know that all this was for a date with another man.He only ever wanted her to dress up to go on dates with him; maybe for the girlsโ nights out too. But certainly not with another male.Naomi blushed at the compliment. โThank you.โ She peered at him closely. โWait, you look different too. I canโt quite put my finger on it but thereโs something different about you.I donโt know if your skin
Chapter Forty SixNaomi had really not been expecting to see Daykan waiting when she got back. It looked like he hadnโt left that spot since she had driven off.It was about 8:30pm. So he had been waiting for almost two hours; give or take. Naomi turned off her car and slowly stepped out. She wasnโt sure how this conversation would go but she was emotionally drained.It felt like within the past few hours, she had gone on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. All the ups and downs were starting to make her feel queasy. Naomi walked forward and stopped when she was standing in front of him. For a few seconds, she stared at him in silence and thought, why the hell not?She sat next to him on the step, stared straight ahead and placed her chin on her knees.She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. They stayed like that for some minutes before she finally broke the silence. โDaykan, what are you still doing here?โ She asked in a tired voice. โI really donโt have the energy to do this
Chapter Forty Seven Naomi came face to face with Daykanโs warm hazel gaze.His hand was still on her waist and he was staring down at her with a wide grin.She couldnโt help but grin in return.โDaykan,โ She sounded breathless. โHow are you doinโฆโDaykan leaned down and captured her lips in a soft kiss.This was the second time he was silencing her with a kiss and she had no complaints. She could get use to this.Daykan tightened his hold around her waist and pulled her even closer. Naomi raised her right hand and placed it on his cheek.It was a gentle kiss.Daykan softly teased her lips open with his tongue and Naomi was glad to allow him entry.It was also a short kiss but it felt like time had been paused for hours.Naomi almost moaned in protest when Daykan broke it off. He could understand her protests. He wanted the kiss to go on for far longer.But there were other guys present at the gym. He didnโt want them watching too long and lusting after Naomi. Asides from kissing h
Chapter Forty EightNaomi had been so caught up in her romantic fairytale that she had genuinely forgotten that Terry was even in the picture.It had taken him showing up again at the gym to jog her memory of his existence. Daykan had occupied every nook and cranny of her mind.Damn!She really wished that she had sorted things out with Daykan before Terryโs arrival.Then she wouldnโt have gone out to dinner with him or given any indication that she was actually considering the thought of them getting back together.A simple โIโm sorry Terry but I have a boyfriend now,โ would have done the job.Although knowing Terry, that would probably not have been enough to dissuade him.But at least he would have known her stand from the beginning. And she would have avoided having this conversation she was about to have with him. Naomi was a little surprised with how fast Senina had taken off. Considering how well she had hit it off with Terry the last time, she had expected her to exchange pl
Chapter Forty NineZekell looked horrified. He hadnโt expected that to happen.He stood up and rushed to Seninaโs side.โSen, I was only joking. Please donโt be upset. I innocently tease you all the time. โ He gently rubbed her arms and leaned into her face. โYou know I would never try to hurt your feelings on purpose.โSeninaโs tears stopped as quickly as they had started.She wiped her cheeks and smiled wearily. โItโs fine Z; just a needed outburst of emotions.โ She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. โIโm fine now. Iโm sorry for making you worry; I wasnโt crying because of what you said.โZekell exhaled with relief. โIโm glad to hear that. It takes a load off my conscience. But I would still like to know whatโs going on and if thereโs anything I can do to help. I never want to see you sad.โ โWell, those tears were a mixture of happiness and sadness. So, itโs not entirely bad.โ Senina smiled ruefully.โIf youโre okay with telling me, I would still like to know what happened.โโG
Chapter FiftyDaykan groaned with longing and deepened the kiss.He blindly reached out and dropped his glass on the coffee table as well. He was tempted to toss it across the room but he didnโt want to startle Naomi or make her question if she was dating a sane guy.He had better things to do with his hands than hold a stupid glass of wine.He turned Naomi around without breaking off the kiss.She moaned in appreciation of his smart thinking; now, it was easier for her to kiss him.She placed one hand over his neck and gently gripped his hair with the other.Daykan slid his hands down her body and cupped her butt cheeks; they were soft.Naomi wrapped her tongue around his and teased him. She slid in and out of his mouth; Daykan was losing his mind. Naomi softly bit his lip and he groaned in response. It seemed that his mate was naughtier than he had thought.He pulled her closer towards him and Naomi could feel his hot bulge against her crotch.Her pussy grew wetter and she ground
Chapter Fifty OneโDaykan!โ Naomi gasped with surprise.One second Daykan was staring at her pussy and the next second, he had latched on and was fervently lapping at her clit.Naomi felt like bolts of electricity were running through her body. She began cumming immediately!Her body started trembling uncontrollably. There was nothing she could do to stop the tremors coursing through her veins.This must be what it felt like to be struck by lightning. โDayyyyโฆ Dayโฆ kaโฆ kan. Pleaseeeeeโฆโ Naomi whimpered helplessly.She wasnโt sure what she was begging for.The pleasure was so intense. Did she really want it to stop?People could die from too much pleasure right?She was supposed to know the answer. But right now, she couldnโt properly formulate thoughts.Daykan didnโt know what Naomi was asking for but nothing short of a natural disaster was going to separate him from between her legs; until he was ready, she asked him to stop or if she passed out. She tried to wriggle upward but he
Chapter Seventy TwoDaykan felt a surge course through his body from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet.He was charged up.He grabbed Naomi by her chin and pulled her close until he could feel her breath on his face.She was gently panting.Naomi knew that her breath was coming out in short puffs. She was probably breathing like a dog.There was no way that could be sexy. But Daykan didnโt look disgusted.He looked like he wanted to devour her whole. His eyes were captivating; it felt like they were drawing her in. She would gladly drown in them.This was the longest she had ever stared into his eyes when they were red and glowing.It looked like there was a faint outline of a werewolf in his pupils.He flashed a grin which was more teeth than smile; and she felt her insides melt. All her organs had turned to goo and they were sliding down her body.That must explain why there was a pool of wetness between her legs.She needed to take a really deep breath so her chest co
Chapter Seventy OneDaykanโs brows shot up in surprise. โAre you sure?โHe didnโt want to mention that the last time she had seen him like that, things hadnโt ended so well.Naomi tried to sound firm. โYes, I am.โ โAlright then. I just want you to know that youโre completely safe. You donโt have to be afraid. I wonโt do anything to hurt you. Okay?โ Daykan said gently.โOkay.โDaykan looked around. โLet me just make some space.โHe picked up the coffee table with one hand and Naomi gasped. From experience, she knew how heavy that table was.Daykan shrugged, โSorry, I just figured I didnโt have to pretend anymore since my secret is out.โโYou donโt have to apologize. Ummโฆ just a little surprised, thatโs all. Go on.โ She wondered what other things he could do.She got up and stood at the side so she wouldnโt be in his way.Daykan moved the coffee table to the corner. He moved the couch and armchairs too, until there was a wide space in the living room.โAlright then, everything is set.
Chapter SeventyHis mate was here. She was really here.It felt like so long since Daykan had seen Naomi. She was wearing a pink short sleeved dress. It stopped just above her knees.He longed to take her into his arms but he didnโt want to scare her away.She slowly dropped her hand.โHiโฆโ Daykan started softly like he was trying not to spook an animal. โIโm so glad to seโฆโDaykanโs eyes suddenly changed to a deep red and Naomi recoiled in shock.โMayโฆ maybe I should just leave.โ She said hurriedly and took a step back.โNo, please donโt go. Just give me a minute.โ Daykan averted his gaze and looked down at the floor.Come on damn eyes! Change back to normal.โWhy are they like that?โ Naomi asked softly. โIs it because youโre hungry?โ โNo, no, no. Itโs nothing like that.โ Daykan hurriedly reassured her in case she thought he was trying not to gobble her up. โItโs because Iโm so happy to see you.โโHuh? How do you mean?โโSometimes when my emotions get the best of me, my other side s
Chapter Sixty NineAfter the encounter with Naomi in the woods, Daykan had been in a daze.He had walked to his car stark naked, not a care in the world if anyone would see him; luckily that hadnโt happened.He had been conscious enough to slip into clothes and enter his car.But thirty minutes later, he had found himself parked in front of his apartment at the estate. By some miracle, he had managed to drive there without killing himself or anyone else. He had spent the day wallowing in misery.He looked at the clock and realized that it was time for the pack run. Maybe a run would help clear his head.But what would clear the debris in his chest from all the pieces of his broken heart?He wore a pallium and prepared to head out. Palliums are cloth made from a special material which wouldnโt rip apart when a werewolf transformed. Itโs not always convenient to change back to human form and be butt naked. So they had appealed for something to be made.Word was the Moon Spirit had so
Chapter Sixty EightโMoon Spirit?โ Naomi was puzzled.Why was she shocked though?If werewolves were real, why not spirits too? โYes. The Moon Spirit is our maker. We regard her as a divine deity. Sheโs basically our god. Sheโs the one who matches us with mates as well.โ Senina explained patiently. โOnly few werewolves are lucky to see her in their lifetime.โโWow, and she appeared because of Daykan.โ Naomi was impressed. โYup, and in front of a number of people. My dad told me the story. Heโs an Alpha too and had been waiting for Daykanโs delivery. He was against killing the baby but it wasnโt his pack and he was outnumbered.Until there was a sudden flash of light and she was floating in front of them. Although it was a sad situation, seeing the Moon Spirit is one of his best memories.โ Senina smiled fondly. Xinocโs face always lit up when he described the Moon Spirit.โWhat did the Moon Spirit say to them?โ Naomi was fully interested in this story and not just because it concer
Chapter Sixty SevenSenina froze for a second.She had thought about this moment more than a few times. The day her best friend would finally find out that she wasnโt human.She had mixed feelings towards the whole thing.Would Naomi accept her for who she was or be terrified?She hadnโt pestered Daykan like Zekell had about telling Naomi the truth about what he was.She had been content with the convenient stalling.She had tried not to be worried about it.After all, Daykan and Naomi were fated mates. So there was a high chance Naomi would accept him for who he was; and in turn, her.Over the years, she had heard stories about other werewolves who had revealed themselves to humans. Some didnโt take it very well.In fact, there was a popular story passed down from generation to generation, about a male werewolf who had revealed himself to his closest friends. They had drugged him and then taken him to the authorities. This was one of the reasons for the strict rules about humans kn
Chapter Sixty SixNaomi stared at Daykan.The image of Sharonโs mutilated body was seared into her memory for life. It was heartbreaking to think that one of Daykanโs kind had done that to her; unprovoked for that matter.Sharon was such an amazing person and she had ended up just being food for a monster.All her dreams and accomplishments had been for nothing. But could she really blame Daykan for that?No one was blaming her for the serial killer they had recently caught in Texas just because he was a human being like her.He hadnโt done anything to harm her or someone she knew.If she pulled the trigger, wasnโt it just coldblooded murder? Those were the thoughts her brain was filling her mind with.Her heart was on the same page with her brain but for different reasons. This was Daykan; the man she had once thought was the love of her life.She couldnโt just erase all the moments and laughter they had shared. All the whispers of passion he had murmured in her ears during lovemak
Chapter Sixty FiveThis was never how Daykan would have wanted Naomi to find out.But now, the catโฆ ummโฆ werewolf was out of the bag.Ever since Senina and Zekell had left the gym, his mind had not been at rest.Naomi had never mentioned resuming at the clinic today; and he was curious about the way she had found.So he had hurried down here and traced her scent to the woods. He saw her in danger and had barely been aware of changing. The next thing he knew, there was a wolf in his mouth and he was tearing the thing apart.In spite of the situation, Naomi almost laughed at how stupid she sounded.How could she even have thought this monster in front of her was her boyfriend? She was still sitting on the ground. Her gun had fallen close to her leg. All she needed to do was carefully reach out and she could grab it.Who was she kidding? The gun hadnโt been able to stop the tiny wolf. It certainly didnโt stand a chance against this huge beast. The one that had killed Sharon.The creat
Chapter Sixty FourNaomi got to the clinic, switched off the ignition and just sat in the parking lot staring at the steering wheel.But her mind wasnโt in the jeep with her. It was already in the clinic.She hadnโt been back there since that night. Anita, Dan and Sophie were the ones who had cleaned up.They were also the ones who had been handling things in her absence. Although the clinic currently wasnโt as functional as it used to be.Someone stopped by daily to take care of the in house patients, otherwise it was locked up. And all the townspeople knew that if there was any animal related emergency they had to put in a call so a staff could be there to take care of it.All other appointments had been put on hold.But Naomi thought it was time to finally fully open up for business.Earlier on, she had called Sophie and informed her that no one needed to worry about coming into today. She would take on the duty of feeding and checking on the animals who were admitted at the clini
