Naomi's POVWith the look Alpha Baron was giving me, I didn't need anyone to tell me that he didn't know who his so-called Luna was.Standing here and staring back at him made my anger boil and I had to hold my hands by my side to avoid bashing his face.From the little fragments I could remember, he didn't spend his childhood in the pack, he was in the human world and had only returned when his father was at the verge of death.Even at that, he ought to have done a background check on the woman he decided to get mated with. The more I thought about this, the angrier I became and soon I was seething.“I understand that you are disappointed with me. I understand every single emotion you are showing right now but trust me, this is just for a little while.” Leaning close now, he grabbed my shoulders, making me stare back into his eyes.“Believe me, I'm going to reject her once you have made up your mind to be by my side.” He mused, using his forehead to rub mine.Pressing my hands agains
Alpha Baron's POVIt was two days now, two days after I got mated with Raven from the Crestwood Pack.Each time I thought about this, I would be overwhelmed with anger but there was nothing I could do about it.Adding to my list of frustration was Naomi's unfinished story. I had thought of reaching her on her phone but I knew she wasn't going to pick my calls. I even attempted traveling to Dragonwood pack but I knew it was going to be the same outcome and so I gave up trying.Now leaning against my chair in my office, I was biting my lower lips, my eyes shut as different scenes played out in my head.For a moment, I imagined Raven to be a vampire, the next minute, a demon and the next something like a monster with several horns.“Dammit!” I scoffed, snapping my eyes open only to veer backwards in shock.Right in front of me was Raven, leaning on the table with a bright smile on her face. I sincerely didn't have any idea of her presence up until now and it was driving me crazy.“When d
Naomi's POVAfter my discussion with Cassie that morning, I wasn't myself. I was pacing the length and breath of my room, trying to analyze my decision in my head.“Avenging Vanessa and saving Christiana.” I said aloud, digging my hands into my head and tugging my hair.Those were the only reasons I could consider if I was going to return to the Raven Claw Pack. Alpha Baron's throne was the least of my problems.Thinking about this, gave me a sleepless night that I soon found myself becoming a shadow of myself.Cassie on her part wasn't even helping matters. She kept on pumping into me, reasons why I should return to the pack.It was frustrating and it was as if I was going to lose my sanity the next second.After dinner, a day after the mating ceremony between Alpha Baron and Raven, I found myself in my father's office.If asked, I had no idea how I came here but since I was here now, I have to speak up.“You don't look good.” Father said, staring intently at me.“I'm fine.” I replie
Naomi's POVThe more time I stood there, staring at Raven who was smiling like a maniac, the more angry I became. At this point, I felt like lunging at her and ripping her heart out of her chest with one strike.Right now, Vanessa's face was spiraling all over my head, making me grab the hem as my gown as I dug my fingers into my palm.There was no way I could explain what was going on right now and it irked me to the barest minimum.“Are you alright?” Raven asked, trying to touch me but I flinched, avoiding her like she was a plague.“Your official visitor from Dragonwood pack doesn't want to have anything to do with me. Seems like she hated me already when we hadn't even talked.” She muttered.“Wench!” I said in my head, glaring angrily at her.“Can we just wrap it up now?” Alpha Baron asked, his voice low. It was as if he was going to burst into tears the next minute.“Are we still going for a drink?” She asked.“Just me and her. She has to deliver her message quickly.” he replied
Alpha Baron's POVAfter listening to Naomi's tale, I had been trying not to believe her but I found myself doing so.I didn't want to believe her, not for any other reason but because Raven was my Luna and her presence here was nothing but a threat if her take turned out to be true.“Your highness, you need to grab some bites of these delicious cookies I made.” Raven said, cutting into my trail of thoughts.“I made a lot of them thinking that our guest would join in sharing with us but she seemed to be in a hurry.” She muttered.Setting the cup of coffee she had made before me, she said, “Did you two have a fight?” She asked but I didn't give her a response.Her smile and demeanor was in contrast to how someone who was capable of burying someone alive would.“She would make a good actress.” I muttered.“Really? And my father said I have poor acting skills. Thanks for believing in me.” She rapped, holding my hands but it quickly pulled away.To prevent further questions, I picked up my
Naomi POVWith my hands folded behind my back, I was pacing the length and breadth of my bedroom, my lips lodged in between my teeth as I thought of the discussion I had with Christiana.It seems she was more determined to put an end to Raven more than I was but there was little she could do about it.For more than three hours, we were in her living room, plotting on how to make our plan a reality but each step we took always bounced back to our faces.The whole thing was frustrating and at some point, I just wanted to return to Dragonwood pack, my home and forget about everything that had happened.If only I knew I was going to be confronted by Raven at the mating ceremony, I wouldn't have bothered leaving the confines of my pack.Tired of walking, I flopped on my bed and then buried my head in my palm. Shutting my eyes tightly as a million ideas spiraled through my head all at once.Taking in a deep breath, I dug my hand into my hair and then began to comb through it, trying to forg
Naomi POVStaring at her as she winced in pain, I tried to assist her but my wolf wouldn't let me think properly. She kept asking me to let her be, saying that I already gave her a warning but she refused to pay head to it.Raven's wincing did nothing but to heighten my fears as I stared back at her. I had done exactly the same thing that I did to Alpha Baron back at my pack.Pursing my lips, I cranked my head to the side and after staring at her for a few minutes, I walked across the room and the moment I pulled the door open, Alpha Baron stuttered in.For a moment, I was taken aback because I wasn't expecting to see him here.“What are you doing here? I asked with a raised brow as I took in his features. He was wearing a look of worry and I wondered why.“I'm looking for Raven. Since I didn't see her in her room, I thought that both of you were having a little chit chat, that's why I'm here.” He rapped.Hearing Alpha Baron's voice Raven made a crackling sound and before I knew what
Reader's POVKnowing Raven was going to return to Naomi's room when she had healed from the injuries she had sustained, Alpha Jasper had asked Beta Richard to look out for him.The moment Beta Richard got the hint that Raven could stand on her feet without any form of support, he quickly mindlinked Alpha Baron who in turn rose.“We need to put in another show.” He said to Naomi who was staring at him with a raised brow as she wondered what had happened.“Why is that?” She asked but instead of giving her a response, he grabbed her hand and then began to pull her out of the room.Naomi on the other hand already sensing what he wanted to do was struggling to pull herself from his grip and this continued until they got to where Raven was.Just like he had thought, she was going to return to Naomi's room and she was on her way when they accosted her.“Apologize now.” Alpha Baron snapped at Naomi who refused to say a word. She had her gaze buried to the ground as she fiddled with her finger
