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 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 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 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 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 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 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 OneLana had always dreamt of this moment; holding the hand of her soul mate as she struggled to give birth to their child. While other women might not be particularly enthusiastic about the process of giving birth, it was something she had always yearned for. She had always been prepared to embrace the pain because she felt there was no greater joy than being a mother.The contractions that caused her teeth to clench in pain did not seem to hurt so much as she gazed into the eyes of her significant other.โYou are doing fine baby, just keep pushing and it will be over soon,โ Erek encouraged as he gently squeezed Lanaโs hand. He was terrified because Lana was bleeding a lot and he couldnโt imagine losing her. It was fairly common for a she-wolf to die on the birthing bed and with Lana being a human; her chances of survival were less than average.โJust a little further Lana, I can see your babyโs head,โ Zera called from between Lanaโs open legs. Zera had helped give birth t

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
