***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

***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

***Naomi's POV***-"The Doctor should be here at any minute, Naomi, don't worry. Wait, how are you in my head? I served all the pack links when I joined Grayfang." 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

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

***Matthew's POV***The morning had started chaotic, and the afternoon wasn't going to be any quieter. 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. He enforced on her our admission trials, which we didn't even do anymore. I was livid. My wolf and I wanted to
