21 - The Question
***Naomi's POV***
After seeing Morgan safe and sound, Matt guided me to Rob's office. Being a true gentleman, he had offered me his hand to hold, but I refused it. It took every cell of my whole being not to, but it was for the best. I can't possibly even think of being with him as he's married.
We walked in silence, me following him at an arms-length down a staircase till we came to a stop in front of white double doors.
This time Matthew didn't offer his hand. He took mine, not giving me room to refuse. I tried to remove it, but that made him tighten his grip. We walked in, hand in hand.
Gabriel and his mate were on the office desk to the left, looking at a map spread across it. Lee sat on the sof

***Naomi's POV*** Matthew caught me off guard with his unexpected question, making me choke on the food I was chewing. He rushes towards me, offering his drink while gently patting my back. I drink it and take a deep breath. -"Pardon me?" -"The night you found out we were mates, why did you run away?" Oh, I heard him right the first time around, but I didn't know how to answer. I might have run off back then, but I can't do it anymore. I gave him my word. -"Because I saw my dreams of having a mate shatter to pieces. I know you must think I am a coward, but I didn't know what to do. My parents raised me to be a good girl, and good girls don't go jumping into married men's arms." I take a deep b

***Matthew's POV***The Alpha's retrieved to their bedrooms for the night, leaving Naomi and me alone in the kitchen. There is so much I want to ask her, but I don't know where to start. I observe her going through the kitchen, placing food on her plate. Her scent is so strong and vibrant. It makes me want to hold her closer. Her loose black hair perfectly frames her beautiful face. My fingers itch to place it behind her ear and caress her cheek. She reaches for food further away from her, and her crop top lifts slightly, giving me a glimpse of her bare tiny waist. It's taking all my self-control for me not to hug her.Naomi sits on the tall island chairs and puts together her super sandwich. She has been through a lot. I don't want to pressure her, but I need to know why Naomi didn't come to
Luna’s Replacement 24 - Mind-link-troubles-me-not
***Naomi's POV***The clarity in the room stirred me out of my sleep. The sun peaked out from behind the hills, and the stormy clouds from yesterday were gone entirely. Toss here, roll there, unable to fall asleep again.Matt filled my mind. What kind of man leaves a woman hanging after telling her he wants her? I was a little hurt even, but maybe it was for the best. I would have made it too easy on him.After the heated event in the kitchen, Iretrieved myself to the guest room and had a long soothing shower, but now I had nothing to dress. The clothes from yesterday had my aroused scent, which if I put them back on, I will cause every unmated male in this packhouse to want to claim me as his.

Gabe's out loud comment made me choke on the piece of pancake I was currently chewing on.At the same Lee, Jax, Teddy, Oliver, Rob looked at me in complete awe. Matt helps me cough up whatever food remains in my lungs by patting and rubbing soothing circles on my back. His intentions are good, except his touch is making me more unsettled. I want to be with Matt more than anything. Call it pride or stubbornness, but the fact he didn't wait for my wolf, and I left an emotional bruise in my heart.I down the whole cup of coffee before facing the elephant in the room, my powers, but not before Morgan adds more w
Luna’s Replacement 26 - Traditions
***Naomi's POV***Matt carried me out of Grayfangs packhouse towards the most amazing car I have ever seen. A dark-gray McLaren 600LT 2020 model with black accents pulled up onto the driveway. Oliver came out of the driver's seat and walked to the passenger side, opening the door.-"Thanks, Oliver, for bringing my ride this morning." Matt said as he placed me on my feet in front of the car seat, motioning to get in. I do as I'm told.-"Anything for you and Luna, Alpha. Jax and I will be following you from behind on the Landrover." Oliver motions his right thumb towards the black vehicle currently parked behind. Jax sat in the driver's seat. "As soon as we enter our territory, the pack warriors will escort you to the Alpha's Mansion, where Beta Morris will be w
Luna’s Replacement 27 - The Elders
We walk through the mansion's entry door, and Matt places me down, on my two feet, in the middle of the lobby. The Foyer consists of two openings on either side of the expresso-colored wood staircase, leading to the mansion's top floors.A ginger head woman walks from the opening on the Right, which appears to provide a route to a living room. She has curly hair, which cascades nicely over the white long-sleeve blouse. The high waist gray serge trousers emphasize her skinny figure and look amazing paired with her glossy-black scarpin shoes. Her make-up is almost nonexistent, except for her nude lipstick.-"Ah, Alpha, Welcome Home." She said while performing a curtsy.Morris walks past Matt and me towards the gorgeous woman, kissing her forehead. She gives him the most in lo

"Unfortunately, yes, son. Queen Luna Elizabeth Stevens, your great-great-great-grandmother. She went through the three-day trials. Justice. Loyalty. Submission." Alpha Elijah says with a grim expression. -"Naomi has to prove she can be kind and just, kill for the pack, and submit to you as her Alpha." Alpha Elijah adds. -"The Trial of Justice - Luna Naomi's decision-making will be tested in this trial. She will face two situations where she has to show kindness and fairness. This trial is the easiest of them all." Elder Raymond breaks down the first trial. He is sitting next to Elder Theo, who is on the left side of the conference table. -"The Trial of Loyalty - Luna Naomi has to take a life from someone who wronged the pack or attempted to hurt a pack member."

More events were happening in the last two days than in the previous two years of my life.A disaster. The meeting had been a complete disgrace. Everything that could go wrong went beyond wrong. Elder Theo was a pain in the ass like he always is. If I could, I would have replaced him, but once a member is elected to be part of the Elders, they are selected for life. I can't kill him either because if I do, the Elders will charge me with treason and strip me from my title as Alpha.Goddess knows why, Elder Theo had made Naomi his primary target.
