Reader's POVIt was now three days since Albert's visist to the Raven Claw Pack, still yet there was no call or text from Naomi whatsoever.Alpha Jethro sensing that something was wrong wouldn't sit still even when Albert suggested that he was going to find out what the problem really was.All through the night, he keot dialing Naomi's phone but she wouldn't pick up. Even Cassie who wasn't disturbed at fist began to panic.At some point, she wanted to reveal what Naomi's true mission was to hee father but she couldn't bring herself to do it.Even though she wasn't going to get punished, she felt like she was betraying Naomi and she didn't want her to see her in such light.Now pacing the length and breadth of his office, Alpha Jethro had his hands tucked into his pockets, is bottom lips lodged into between his teeth as he stared into space.It ess last midnight yet he was still up. A lot of things had to be done in the Dragonwood Pack but he pushed them all aside.Naomi was his toomis
Naomi's POVThe last thing I wanted to do was to tell my father exactly what happened. Not only would Alpha Baron be in trouble, but my stay here in Raven Claw Pack would be terminated and there was no way I could return. Even if father agrees, Albert wouldn't.Fiddling with my fingers, I continued staring at my father who had his gaze fixed on me since I walked in earlier. If only I had a hint of what he was thinking, I would be glad.Deep down I was praying and hoping that he wouldn't ask me to return with them. At the same time, I was cooking up stories in my head to tell them.“Naomi, are you not going to tell us what happened?” Albert asked, he was peering into my eyes and at the same time holding my hands tightly, “I already told you I went exploring, what else do you want me to say?” I said with a calm and convincing voice to drive home my point but stubborn Albert wouldn't give up.He kept probing for answers until I couldn't bear it anymore and at once I rose, barely escap
Alpha Baron's POVNow left alone with Richard and the sisters, I plopped on the couch and then buried my head in my palms. The more I thought about it, the more enraged I became.Albert had gone overboard with his actions and it was unpardonable but I was going to let it slide since it was my fault.If only I had monitored Naomi more closely, this wouldn't have happened.Pulling myself up, I tossed my head backwards, my eyes still tightly shut and by the time I opened it, I was staring right back at Cassie who had her hands across her chest and was wearing a smirk on her lips.Pulling myself up, I pressed my lips together in a thin line, “Thank you for stepping in.” I said.“I didn't do it for you, rather my sister. Please take good care of her. I don't want you to get into trouble with Albert, he isn't someone you should annoy.” She said and I nodded.“Thank you.”Holding Naomi's hand, she pulled her up and together they left the office. It wasn't up to two minutes when Richard appea
Naomi's POVWhile all the talk was going on with Father and Albert's presence, I was studying Richard's face, hoping to find a clue in my search but there was none.The only thing I could remember before I passed out was that the person who had accosted me was a Beta from the Raven Claw Pack and there were only two Beta I knew of and that was Beta Richard and Beta Williams.With Richard now out of my picture, my suspicion was strong on Beta Williams. I just wanted to see him in person and engage him in a conversation and then I will be able to get a clue from that.Before Cassie left with Father, she had pulled me to a corner, urging me to hasten up with what I had to do and return home, saying she didn't have a good feeling about what was happening and I in turn had assured her that everything was going to be fine, though I was skeptical too.My first suspicion was Raven but now Beta Williams. It was high time I set my resentment aside and stopped thinking that all vices committed we
Naomi's POVThe sound of beeping machines rented the air and I began to wonder where I was.Trying to snap my eyes open, I found it difficult to do that and so I relaxed only for me to start thinking about the sixth toe on Raven's leg.If I had known, I would have taken a proper look at the toe while I was on the tree to notice any striking resemblance.Still on this, I heard the door creaking open but since my eyes were shut, I couldn't decipher if someone had stepped in or out.When I began to hear approaching footsteps, I was still trying to act like I was still unconscious as the person closed in on me.After a few minutes of tension-filled silence, I felt a hand caressing my arm and at once I snapped my eyes open, only to see Alpha Baron staring at me with a fear-filled eye.“Are you alright?” He asked, propping me up on the pillow and I nodded.Raising my head, I realized a drip was connected to my hand and I let out a low sigh. I must have passed out in the hallway and that was
Alpha Baron's POVWhen Beta Williams arrived, Richard was quick to usher him into my office so we could get down into interrogating him as we had planned.Everything was going on smoothly until I lost my cool when he suddenly decided to go mute. Annoying me further, he was staring right back at me.“I asked a question, mister,” I said, slamming my fist against the table with a deep frown etched on my face. If only I had the chance, I would have held his neck, maybe a chokehold would get me the answer I wanted but because I wanted to respect him, I had to keep my cool.If not because of my late father, I would have done that without any apology.“From your questioning, it seems like you're accusing me of kidnapping your friend. Why will I even do that when we don't have any sort of connection whatsoever.” He finally spoke with a carefree tone.Taking another sip from his cup, he pulled himself up and then turned towards Richard, “Remind him in five minutes that the elders are meeting i
Alpha Baron's POVFor more than five minutes, I stood there, staring at the door with my mouth slightly open. This was a perfect example of an open confrontation. Her tone and body language was enough to say she was not bluffing.Still reviewing all that she had said in my head, I began to pace around my office, my hands wrapped across my chest as I bit my bottom lips.Raven… if she can confront me openly like that, that means, she had a goal to accompany and what is that goal of hers? — that which I have no idea about.“Naomi,” I called, shaking my head sideways.I intended to make inquiries from her but since I didn't want to involve her in matters that concerned my pack, I had to bottle up everything.Still pondering, the door flung open and Richard walked in. Before he could pass this message, I reached out to him and then held his shoulder, “There is trouble.” I said and at once his face fell as he began to search mine for an answer.“What are you talking about?” He asked, peerin
Naomi's POVThe more I thought about it, the more amused I became.I don't know what Raven took me for, maybe it's because I had spent my childhood with her so she thinks I was dumb like her.Chuckling, I tilted my head to the side as tears rolled down my cheeks.Even if we had grown up together, I haven't given her any reason to think I was stupid and she could trample on me.Still laughing at this the door creaked open and she stepped in with a long face. Occupying her previous seat, she had her gaze on the door, and after staring for a while she turned in my direction.“I said I have answers to your questions,” she said persuasively but I refused to be swayed by it.Pushing my hair behind my ear, I sank into my bed, staring intently at her to the extent that she began to shift uncontrollably in her seat.“What is it that you want to tell me?” I asked, expecting her to start running her mouth immediately but she wouldn't speak, she was fiddling with her fingers as she bit her bottom
