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
Alpha Baron's POVIt's been a few days now since I last set my eyes on Naomi, she never shows up at the dining table and whenever I made inquiries about her, I was told she wanted to be left alone.At first, I was thinking it was one of her phases where she didn't want to be disturbed but as time went on, I began to grow suspicious. Even Raven began to ask about her whereabouts, heightening my fear.Several times, I had tried to go meet with her in her room but I was restricted. After I went to her room even when she had warmed me strictly not to, when we were alone, she repeated the same thing and also I didn't want Raven to think that something was going on between us.A lot of things were happening, adding this was like adding coal to the already burning flame and I doubt I would be able to survive it all.Now sitting in my office, I had my head resting against my chair with my eyes shut as I reviewed the meeting I had with the elders a few days ago.After they had suggested surrog
Alpha Baron's POVAt his words, my blood turned cold as I began to dart my eyes around and at the same time wondering who the visitor could be.Wiping my brow with the back of my palm, I let out a deep sigh and then pushed my hands into my pockets attempting to put a call to Naomi. With a racing heart, I was praying and hoping she answered her phone but like before, she didn't.“Sir, it is Albert from Dragonwood Pack. It seems Alpha Jethro sent him.” Richard said on his return with a shaky voice.Biting the corner of my lips, I swirled around in a split second. Just when I was about to start heading in the opposite direction, I turned towards him and then grabbed his shoulder.“Keep him company until I return.” I said and then scurried off before he could start making enquiries.Running as if my life was going to end the next minute, I found myself in Raven's room. She was sitting on the edge of her bed with her hands resting on her thighs.Slowly and cautiously, I walked towards her
Naomi's POVWiping the bead of perspiration from my forehead, I continued my backwards movement until I crashed into the chest of the man in black cloak.Turning in my direction, he took off his mask and then flashed me a coy smile which did nothing but to heighten my fears.“I never knew a little effort was all I needed to lure you out of the palace.” The man said, pushing my hair away from my face.When he attempted the same thing the second time, I slapped his hand off only to receive a resounding slap that sent me staggering the next minute.Holding onto my cheeks with my eyes watering, I tried to stand still but I couldn't.“I should have just stayed back.” I mumbled, still rubbing my burning cheek. It had been a while since I felt this kind of pain and it seemed like I was going to die from it the next minute.“Shut up, we need to find answers.” My wolf snarled back.“Answers? I'm in deep shit now and I don't think I will be able to come out of this so easily.” I retorted, strai
