Naomi's POVFor more than five minutes, I just stood there, staring at Alpha Baron with my hands across my chest. When he started giving signs that he was tired of waiting for my response, I burst into laughter. “What?” he asked, staring at me as I continued laughing like a maniac. “What?” I replied after him. “Are you seriously asking me that?” Pushing my hair behind my ear, I leaned forward and with my hand wrapped across my chest, I said, “I think you should allow your mind to travel down your memory lane.” “What are you talking about?” His voice was shaky now.“You sent me out of Raven Pack and you want me to return there? How absurd?” I scoffed. Biting my lips, I said, “No matter what happens, I'm not returning to the pack with you.” “Naomi!” He called with a shock filled face but instead of giving him a response, I turned around and then stormed off, ignoring him. It seemed like she had been waiting for my response because, the moment I got in, Cassie grabbed my hand and

Alpha Baron's POVInstead of giving me a response to my request, Naomi began to laugh. I don't know why she was laughing but I felt it was like a mockery to me. Though hurted, I didn't act as if I was. When she told me the reason for her laughter, the feeling of failure and anger set in. I knew for certain that it was going to be hard trying to convince her to stay with me but I wouldn't be discouraged, regardless of her initial attitude. Now left alone under the tree, I began to pace around, trying to come up with a concrete plan but my head was fuzzy. I was almost giving up on the whole thing when I sighted Alpha Jethro's car rolling into the premises. At once, I walked up to him and after exchanging pleasantries told him my mission — I told him I wanted his help in combing the rogues. Fortunately, he bought it and even asked me to stay a little while, giving me a bonus point. Now under the tree but now in the night, I couldn't help but review my initial decision of staying bac

Alpha Baron's POVAlbert’s interruption was sudden. If I had know he was trailing after me, I wouldn't have bothered going after Naomi only to be slapped in the face with this kind of embarrassment. Grabbing my steering wheel with both hands, I stepped on the throttle so hard, I was practically flying the road. I only released the pressure when I barely missed an old lady, sending her into a panic shock. Luckily for me, her caretaker was around the corner and so I didn't have to spend time with her. Immediately I pulled up in the garage, Beta Richard walked up to me and after a curt how, he began to fill me in with what had happened. “You mean the whole pack was combed and there was no sight of rogues?” I asked, slamming the door of my car shut as I followed him into the building. “Nope, it's strange, isn't it?” “Of course it is.” Halting, I turned towards his direction, “What if the so called rogue attack was an insider attacker?” I asked. “Insider attack? I don't think so. T

Naomi POVLying on the gurney was a little boy who was covered with blood. There were several cuts on his body but I couldn't bring myself to take note of them all. Blinking my eyes rapidly, I tried to steady my heavy breathing but I couldn't. The sight was so terrifying that with each passing minute, I felt life seeping out of me. Just when my legs were about to give way, Cassie held me from behind and then with the aid of another nurse, I was helped to sit on one of the chairs in the hallway. “Are you alright?” The nurse asked but because I could answer, Cassie said, “Thank you, I will take care of her.” “Please do.” For more than half an hour, I sat there, trying to get my mind off what I had seen but the scene was just too horrific for me to forget so easily. When I could finally get a grip on myself, I turned towards Cassie who was staring intently at me. She had the look of worry on her face that made my facepalm myself. “I'm sorry.” I quickly said, pulling myself up. “Y

Naomi's POVNow lying on my bed, I tried to get some sleep but I couldn't as I kept rolling from one end of the bed to the other. It was frustrating, but I still went on with it. To tire myself out, I swung my feet off the bed and then began to walk around but it didn't help. I even tried to read a book but it still didn't work. When I couldn't bear it anymore, I stepped out of my room and then made my way out of the pack house. Sitting under the cold night with my eyes fixed on the sky, the sounds of wolves howling in the distance filled my ears. Moments later, I began to hear the shuffling of feets and when I turned in the direction of the noise, I saw Alpha Baron approaching.He was holding two glasses of water and so I quickly relieved him of one, muttering my thanks. I actually needed water to quench my thirst. “Thank you.” I said, setting the glass on the spot beside me. “It's not a problem.” He waved me off, taking a sip from his glass too. Now looking in my direction, h
