The next day Naomi woke up to find Theon gone and a note next to her telling her he had some urgent pack matters to attend to and to meet at his mother’s later with everyone else. Naomi started wo wonder what pack business called him away at 8am but didn’t have much time to dwell on it as the aroma of Lottie’s special coffee reached her and dragged her out of bed.Making her way downstairs Naomi found a cheery Lottie sat at the kitchen table sipping coffee and browsing through her phone.“This is just unfair” Naomi said to Lottie, she eyed the other woman warily. “You look like you had 12 hours sleep, after a spa day”“Yeah” agreed Lottie, laughing “and you look like you were kidnapped yesterday” With that damming assessment Naomi stood and made herself a cup of coffee. “Why are we friends again?”“Ha. You gave birth to a special child; you’re stuck with me” Lottie said smiling at her sweetly. “But on a serious note we need to discuss yesterday before we speak to everyone else. Everyt

“Let’s pause a moment” said Naomi “I think this conversation is getting bigger than the three of us” Her mind was spinning a little. They’d gone from inept witch kidnappers to some kind of internal witch politics, and it was a going to need Theon to hear at least.“You’re coming with us” Naomi said, gesturing to Lucy to get up.“Where are we going?” asked Lucy obeying the command to start moving“To see the Alpha. He needs to hear all this.” As Naomi said this Lucy visibly paled.“Oh no” she said quietly “please don’t make me tell him what I did. Please”“Lucy” Naomi said looking her in the eye “The only way to get past this is to own up to it, deal with it and then move past it. Personally, there is still part of me wishing I was in my apartment refusing to ever face the past again but if I didn’t face it, I wouldn’t have seen Rhys again and Alex wouldn’t have his Daddy now. It will all work out in the end. Just be brave and own it”Encouraged by Naomi’s words, Lucy nodded looking a l

After another hour of talking Theon, Lottie, Naomi, Lucy and Alex went back to their cottage. Theon had the list from Lucy of the 15 witches living in his pack, that she knew of. None of the names really stood out. They were just normal women in the pack. They worked in offices and shops, and lived quiet lives that never really drew the Alpha’s attention to them. Now Theon realised this was probably on purpose to shield them from the consequences of his scrutiny.He questioned how he could be so blind to have been leading his pack for 3 years and never notice them. It wasn’t a huge pack but with 2000 people roughly it wasn’t small either. Though he had been distracted by his need to find Naomi at times he had tried not to stop him from being a good leader and on the rare occasion he was dropping the ball Peter or Rhys were there to tell him to pick it up again.The first year after Naomi left Theon wasn’t sure he would have survived without them. Even though Rhys felt the loss of his s

“I’ve been thinking.” Said Lucy, taking a deep breath and looking a little nauseous “We need to tell Rhys, or more specifically, I need to tell Rhys. Everything.”Naomi looked at her in surprise “are you sure?” she asked“Yeah” Lucy said nodding thoughtfully, her face showing her discomfort at the idea.” I can’t call hi the love of my life and say I want to marry him and be mated for life and then hide who I a from him. I can’t let him sit in that hospital bed and not let him know it’s my fault he is there.” Tears were threatening to spill from her eyes and her voice was beginning to crack. “I just… what if he hates me?” she asked sobbingNaomi walked forward and sat next to Lucy. She placed her hand over hers and smiled at her. “look I will come with you. We will explain it all together. He has trouble staying mad at me.” She offered what she hoped was a reassuring smile “and when he knows you didn’t do it on purpose, and you are trying to fix it he will be reasonable I promise. Just

Naomi woke several hours later feeling disorientated and confused. She wasn’t in the car anymore but in her bed and next to her was Theon looking worried. She didn’t know why he was so concerned. She had had a vision. She had them all the time. But then she saw the clock and realised she had been asleep for three hours. That never happened. To top it off, she couldn’t remember what her vision had been. That was weird.Seeing Naomi was awake a look of relief flooded Theon’s face “Oh thank god” he said kissing her on the forehead. “You scared me, Lottie too and I feel like that takes a lot of doing.”“it was just a vision...I think” Naomi said“Lottie thinks that the vision was cursed somehow.” Theon said looking puzzled. He hadn’t really understood what Lottie had meant but Naomi’s face seemed to register it’s meaning.“That’s why I started to see something. The vision started but it triggered a curse.” It looked to Theon like Naomi was piecing a puzzle together. “The vision. It was abo
