Naomi's POV

I ran.

I didn't know where I was going. I just knew I couldn't stay in that room anymore. Not with Helena's words still hanging in the air like poison. Not with those documents sitting on the table like a bomb waiting to explode.

"You were a stray. You were never a Reed."

I heard Axel calling my name behind me, but I didn't stop. I couldn't. If I stopped, I would have to face him. I would have to see the pity in his eyes, or worse, the doubt.

I couldn't handle that right now.

I rush

  • Second chance mate to the lycan:oops He's my Ex mate father    chapter 35

    Axel's POVThe morning had been quiet. After Naomi's conversation with her parents, she had seemed lighter—not happy, as that would take time, but lighter, like she had finally put down a weight she had been carrying for years.We spent the morning together in the garden. She didn't talk much, but she didn't need to; she just sat beside me, her head resting on my shoulder, watching the clouds drift across the sky."I feel like I can breathe again," she said at one point.I kissed the top of her head. "Good.""I still don't forgive them not yet.""That's okay.""But I don't hate them either; I just... I need space."I nodded. "You're allowed to need space."She looked up at me. "Thank you for not pushing me to feel differently.""I would never do that."She smiled—a real smile, the first one I had seen in days—and leaned back against me. For a moment, everything felt peaceful, but I should have known it wouldn't last.I watched Naomi as she sat in the garden, her eyes closed, her face

  • Second chance mate to the lycan:oops He's my Ex mate father    chapter 34

    Naomi's POVI woke the next morning with a heavy feeling in my chest.The sun was streaming through the curtains, casting warm light across the room. Axel was still asleep beside me, his arm draped over my waist. I watched him for a moment, grateful for the steady rise and fall of his chest, the calm expression on his face.He had stayed with me through everything. He hadn't pushed me to forgive anyone. He hadn't told me how to feel. He had just been there.I carefully slipped out of bed, trying not to wake him. I walked to the window and looked out at the Lycan kingdom. It was peaceful here. Quiet. Nothing like the chaos of the BlackRose Pack.But even here, the past followed me.I thought about Helena. About Liam. About the parents who had raised me and lied to me for years. I thought about Cressida—my real mother—and wondered what she was like. Where she was. Why she had given me up.I didn't have answers. I wasn't sure I ever would.A soft knock came at the door.I turned, surpris

  • Second chance mate to the lycan:oops He's my Ex mate father    chapter 33

    Naomi's POVThe hall was quiet after Liam left.I stood on the platform beside Axel, my legs still shaky from everything that had happened. Helena was on the floor, the adoption papers scattered around her like fallen leaves. Her parents sat frozen in their chairs, their faces pale and drawn.No one spoke.I didn't know what to feel. Everything had happened so fast. One moment I was learning that my entire life had been a lie, and the next, Helena's world was crumbling in front of me.Part of me wanted to feel satisfied. She had made my life miserable for years. She had lied, manipulated, and destroyed everything she touched. She deserved this.But another part of me—a part I didn't want to acknowledge—felt something else. Something that felt dangerously close to pity.I pushed the feeling away."Take her to the holding cells," Axel ordered.The guards moved toward Helena, but before they could grab her, she scrambled to her feet."No!" She backed away, her eyes wild. "You can't do th

    Helena's POVThe guards dragged me back into the hall without warning.I stumbled through the doors, my wrists still aching from where they had grabbed me. My hair was a mess, my clothes wrinkled from being thrown back into the cell. I didn't care. I was too angry to care about anything."This is ridiculous!" I shouted, trying to pull free from their grip. "You can't keep treating me like a criminal!"No one answered.The hall was the same as before, but the atmosphere had shifted. The air felt heavier. My parents were still there, standing near the platform with their heads bowed. Axel was in his place, his expression cold and unreadable. And Naomi...Naomi was standing beside him, holding a stack of papers in her hands.My heart skipped a beat when I saw them. I recognized those papers. They were the documents I had given Axel. The ones the cloaked man had provided.Why was Naomi holding them?"Sit down, Helena," Axel said.I remained standing. "I'm not sitting anywhere until someon

    Axel's POVThe doors had barely closed behind Naomi's parents when I realized we weren't done.I had sent them to the guest quarters to give Naomi space, but the truth was still incomplete. They had revealed Cressida's name a woman who wasn't human—and then stopped. They had given us pieces of a puzzle without showing us the full picture.I couldn't let that stand.Naomi was still in my arms, her body trembling against mine. She hadn't spoken since her parents were led away. She was processing, I knew. Trying to make sense of everything she had just learned.But I needed answers.I pulled back slightly and looked down at her. "Naomi, I need to talk to them again."She looked up at me, her eyes red and swollen. "Why?""Because they haven't told us everything. They mentioned Cressida, but they didn't explain who she is or why you were switched. We need the full story."Naomi was quiet for a moment. Then she nodded slowly. "You're right. I need to know."I took her hand. "We'll do this

    Naomi's POVThe next three days passed slower than any days I had ever experienced.I barely slept. I barely ate. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Helena's face, heard her voice, felt the cold satisfaction in her words.You were a stray. You were never a Reed.Axel had been patient with me. He had stayed by my side, held me when I needed it, and given me space when I didn't. But I knew he was just as anxious as I was. He had summoned my parents to the Lycan kingdom, and they were due to arrive today.I stood by the window of our room, staring out at the road that led to the main gates. The morning sun was bright, but I felt cold."What if they don't come?" I asked quietly.Axel walked up behind me and placed his hands on my shoulders. "They'll come.""How can you be sure?""Because they know what happens if they don't."I turned to look at him. His expression was calm, but there was a hard edge to his eyes that I had seen before. It was the look he got when someone threatened someth
