Alpha Baron's POVAfter listening to Naomi's tale, I had been trying not to believe her but I found myself doing so.I didn't want to believe her, not for any other reason but because Raven was my Luna and her presence here was nothing but a threat if her take turned out to be true.“Your highness, you need to grab some bites of these delicious cookies I made.” Raven said, cutting into my trail of thoughts.“I made a lot of them thinking that our guest would join in sharing with us but she seemed to be in a hurry.” She muttered.Setting the cup of coffee she had made before me, she said, “Did you two have a fight?” She asked but I didn't give her a response.Her smile and demeanor was in contrast to how someone who was capable of burying someone alive would.“She would make a good actress.” I muttered.“Really? And my father said I have poor acting skills. Thanks for believing in me.” She rapped, holding my hands but it quickly pulled away.To prevent further questions, I picked up my
Naomi POVWith my hands folded behind my back, I was pacing the length and breadth of my bedroom, my lips lodged in between my teeth as I thought of the discussion I had with Christiana.It seems she was more determined to put an end to Raven more than I was but there was little she could do about it.For more than three hours, we were in her living room, plotting on how to make our plan a reality but each step we took always bounced back to our faces.The whole thing was frustrating and at some point, I just wanted to return to Dragonwood pack, my home and forget about everything that had happened.If only I knew I was going to be confronted by Raven at the mating ceremony, I wouldn't have bothered leaving the confines of my pack.Tired of walking, I flopped on my bed and then buried my head in my palm. Shutting my eyes tightly as a million ideas spiraled through my head all at once.Taking in a deep breath, I dug my hand into my hair and then began to comb through it, trying to forg
Naomi POVStaring at her as she winced in pain, I tried to assist her but my wolf wouldn't let me think properly. She kept asking me to let her be, saying that I already gave her a warning but she refused to pay head to it.Raven's wincing did nothing but to heighten my fears as I stared back at her. I had done exactly the same thing that I did to Alpha Baron back at my pack.Pursing my lips, I cranked my head to the side and after staring at her for a few minutes, I walked across the room and the moment I pulled the door open, Alpha Baron stuttered in.For a moment, I was taken aback because I wasn't expecting to see him here.“What are you doing here? I asked with a raised brow as I took in his features. He was wearing a look of worry and I wondered why.“I'm looking for Raven. Since I didn't see her in her room, I thought that both of you were having a little chit chat, that's why I'm here.” He rapped.Hearing Alpha Baron's voice Raven made a crackling sound and before I knew what
Reader's POVKnowing Raven was going to return to Naomi's room when she had healed from the injuries she had sustained, Alpha Jasper had asked Beta Richard to look out for him.The moment Beta Richard got the hint that Raven could stand on her feet without any form of support, he quickly mindlinked Alpha Baron who in turn rose.“We need to put in another show.” He said to Naomi who was staring at him with a raised brow as she wondered what had happened.“Why is that?” She asked but instead of giving her a response, he grabbed her hand and then began to pull her out of the room.Naomi on the other hand already sensing what he wanted to do was struggling to pull herself from his grip and this continued until they got to where Raven was.Just like he had thought, she was going to return to Naomi's room and she was on her way when they accosted her.“Apologize now.” Alpha Baron snapped at Naomi who refused to say a word. She had her gaze buried to the ground as she fiddled with her finger
Alpha Baron's POVSitting in my office, I began to review the conversation I had with Naomi about the rogues earlier. With the way she has spoken with confidence, I had no choice but to go with her words even though I still had my plans up my sleeves.“Sir, I think I have found the document that was switched.” Richard said, snapping me back to reality.“Really?” I asked, interest piqued as I pulled myself forward. Staring at him, he placed a brown file on my table and then flipped it open.Slowly, I began to look into each page trying to find out if the content was really important but I couldn't find anything and so I pushed it away.“I think the paper dropped off from another file.” I muttered as he pulled the file from the table. Heading towards the cabinet, he pushed it into the right place and then returned his gaze to me.Now sitting on the chair opposite me, he leaned forward and with his hands clasped as usual, he said, “What do you think about the clash with Naomi and Raven e
Alpha Baron's POVStarting this morning with a council meeting was the least thing I wanted to do but I didn't have any choice, rather than to go for it.If it wasn't about the rogue's attack, there was absolutely nothing we wanted to deliberate about. More still, it seems the rogues have gone extinct, that didn't means I let my guard down and so I see no reason why a meeting was called this morning.At the moment, I was having breakfast with Raven and Naomi in the dining table. It was so quiet and at intervals, I could see Raven casting Naomi a glance accompanying it with a jeer.While I was with her the previous night before heading for bed, I wanted to interogate her about the event of several years ago by casually talking about her childhood but she began to feign tiredness and so I have no choice but to give up on the questioning but at the same time, my suspicion was heightened.“The wives of the Beta’s are meeting this morning, you have to join them.” I said, breaking the silen
Naomi's POVAfter eating breakfast, I decided to leave for my bedroom but I could sense Raven trailing after me and so I went to the kitchen and she joined me.She must have made a sign to the maids because the next minutes they were all filing out of the kitchen until it was the both of us remaining.With my hands folded across my chest, I crossed my leg as I leaned against the caninet, waiting to hear what she had to say to me.“Did Alpha Baron know?” She asked, closing the gap between us. When she suddenly stopped several meter from where I stood, a smile crept to my lips.She must have given me enough space so she wouldn't get her bones cracked for the second time. If I had the chance to repeat my earlier actions, I was going to do it but this time around, I would ensure she was badly injured before I let go of her.“How do you expect me to have a response to that?” I asked and began shaking her head sideways.“I was expecting you to act like you didn't have an idea but you answer
Naomi's POVFor more than five minutes, I was hanging upside down like a bat, thanks to my dress which was caught in the truck, otherwise, I would have broken a bone or two.Taking a deep breath, I tried to get myself off the tree but the more I tried, the harder it became and so I gave up trying only to start looking around the garden.This went one for a while until I saw a heavy fruit had been suspended in the tree, making its way downwards.“Dammit!” I muttered and soon, I was standing on the ground, my head tilted to the side as I stared at the large fruit on the ground.Not knowing the kind of fruit it was, I kicked it aside and then walked out of the garden since I had lost interest in being here.Once in my room, I flopped on the bed and then dialed Cassie's contact, hoping at the same time that she was home and not in the hospital.Just like I wanted, she picked up on the first ring and then went ahead to inform me it was her day off which meant we have a lot of time to ourse
