Naomi's POV"I have to go. I can hear Malia calling me." I opened my eyes. "Wait…" he dragged me to him and pecked me on the cheek. "I have to go now." I released myself and slammed the door. I was walking so fast that I felt my legs getting weak before I fell to the ground."Oh my goodness! Ethan…he…he just…pecked you! I felt my heart flutter!" Nolly screamed in my head running around."This isn't funny Nolly. You of all people know that I'm toiling with fire which is going to burn us at the end of the day." I whispered trying to get myself up. "What are you talking about? Naomi! Wake uppp! Two of the Alpha's sons just asked you out as their date on their father's upcoming birthday. Do you even know what that means?" Nolly asked, flying around in my mind. "Oh, Nolly c'mon." I rolled my eyes. "What it means is that, very soon I'll be dead. And this is because their father will kill me himself." I concluded as I tried to lift myself. "Don't be too negative…I mean he's not going t
Naomi's POVThe D-Day is here and I'm up feeling confused for the first time in years. "Why do I feel like you are a bit down?" Nolly broke the silence. "That's because, Nolly, I'm down. I don't think I can step my foot outside the palace." I spoke covering my head with my pillows. "How did we get here by the way?" Nolly asked sobering up. "Honestly Nolly, I don't know. It's been over thirty minutes now and I need to get up and go to the kitchen. I don't want to be flogged and I don't know how to face the four of them." I whispered. "Right now I can feel your emotions," Nolly said as I collapsed in bed. "Yeah. I feel ruined. Do you think I should just run away?" I asked standing up again. "To where exactly? We both know that you do not have anywhere to go. All your life is here, Naomi. So if you leave it's more of dying itself." Nolly advised. "So what should I do?" I asked, holding my head with my tumbled hair. Knock! Knock!!"Someone is knocking, who could it be?" I whisper
Naomi's POVI looked around and held on to my gown tightly as I felt so shy. I looked up at Hunter who motioned towards me as he gently reached for my hand. "You look stunning. And…and…beautiful." he complimented before looking at the maids who were still standing. "You all did well. You can leave through the back," he commanded. "Yes, your grace." They chorused, bowed, and left. " Do you think I can do this? How do you think this will…go…I…I just…hope…" I stammered as I held my head feeling faint. "Get yourself together girl! Don't be a weakling because you didn't do anything wrong!" Nolly lashed me."You do not have to worry about them. Let me, okay? All you have to do today is just focus on me and no one else. Just keep looking into my eyes and continue holding my hand still, do not leave it. Then I give you my words that I will protect you from any of them." Hunter assured me. "The thing is…I'm…I'm scared. I'm so scared that…" I couldn't finish my statement when Hunter pulle
Naomi's POV I started to fidget and was looking for a way to escape when I felt Hunter's hand on mine holding me tight. "I won't allow you to cause a scene. Today is for our father so let's honor him." Hunter answered. "I don't have a word with you. Naomi, she's the one I'm speaking to." Gabriel dragged my hand. "Ouch, that hurts." I winced. "You will let go of her this minute!" Hunter charged. "And what would you do if I didn't? You will report me to our father or what?" Gabriel looked angry with his eyes glowing blue. "Are you both okay? Are you here to ruin our father's birthday party after all his warnings and his pleas?" Logan whispered, hijacking my hand away from Gabriel. "How can you utter that kind of statement when you can see that my mate has been taken away." Gabriel shot back at Logan as fear gripped me."Guys you don't need to fight over this, please," I begged but no one was ready to listen. "And this is the last time I will have you disrespect me! I'm your bro
Naomi's POV The sound of rain pattering woke me, and I felt cold. Rolling to the other side of the bed, I bumped into a strong body."What–?" I whispered, disoriented."You don't remember anything from last night? You were begging and screaming for ecstasy under this hot body you just collided with, girl! Finally, you chose him," Nolly said, her voice filled with happiness, and I felt her laughter in my head."Oh, my goodness. You should have told me. I feel... I feel awkward down here. I think I have to leave before he..." I replied, trying to sneak off the bed when his hand held me tighter."Who have you been talking to? Your wolf, I guess? What was she saying? You can't just leave me and run away; it's unfair. I haven't even seen your face. I fell asleep right away, so I want to do that now," he answered, pulling me closer as I pressed my exposed chest against his, and I felt incredibly shy."Were you listening to all of that? Damn!" I covered my eyes."Wait, are you feeling shy r
Naomi's POVThe werewolf soldiers set me down and promptly left."You were with Hunter last night, weren't you?" Gabriel challenged."I... young master," I stuttered, my gaze darting from one person to another."Cat got your tongue? Suddenly, you can't say anything?" Logan confronted. Hunter hurried over to me and tightly held my hand."What's wrong with all of you?! She chose me over you, so what's the problem?" Hunter defended."So what? You think you can have her all to yourself? She doesn't belong to you in the first place, and she can never be yours! Accept it or move on!" Ethan intervened."You brought this upon yourself, Naomi. I told you to choose someone from the beginning and stick with them, but no! Your heart beats for all of them. What do you want to do now? You are grounded!" Nolly scolded me."I don't know... I don't know... please," I screamed, and Alpha Alex entered the scene."What in the fourth world war is going on here? Logan!" Alpha Alex intervened."I'm in love
Naomi's POV I was placed on a chair not far from the arena ground, which was covered in dust. I watched as they formed a circle, positioning themselves at different distances from one another. "Did you ever feel that their father killed your parents? How do you explain the memories resurfacing and his presence in them?" Nolly asked, feeling concerned, as I struggled to answer. "I... I have no... idea, Nolly. Arrgghh..." I winced in pain. "Father, we have to put an end to this madness!" Hunter pleaded desperately. "It seems like he wants you dead now!" Nolly remarked. "I don't understand... argh... I don't know what's happening!" I screamed in agony. "The fight will commence now!" Alpha Alex declared, and a werewolf soldier raised the flag. "This is madness!" Hunter exclaimed, striking his hand against the ground and sending sand scattering into the air. "Brother, it's better to fight with all your strength if you want her to be yours, or all your talking won't make her yours."
Naomi's POVI pulled away, my knees cringing as I tried to regain control. I held my head, which was pounding slightly."I don't want to do this," I spoke with fear, the effects of the alcohol still making me feel dizzy."Hey... I just... I love you, Naomi," Logan said, moving closer and pulling me toward him."I... I just..." I stuttered as my head continued to throb."Control yourself. I... I feel dizzy and weak too. The alcohol is too strong. Your stomach is kind of unsettled. What's... what's going on?" Nolly called my attention."I have no idea," I gasped as I felt Logan's hand slide down my panty, with his other hand loosening my gown, which fell to my feet."Mmmm..." he moaned as he kissed my neck down to my breast, which rose and fell."Logan... if we do this..." my words were silenced by the tip of his finger on my lips, and I felt his wet lips on mine."Tell me you don't like it, and I will stop," he raised his head, looking into my eyes.Immediately, his voice and face tran
