Gideon was shocked when he saw Naomi running to the school. They were just getting ready to go to her house, thinking she would be sound asleep but no, there she was, in a hoodie and jeans, panting like she was being chased by something. He quickly got over his shock, a little glad that she had made their work easier for them by coming out on her own. But when she turned to run away and stopped and he saw the new guests, he was surprised and shocked. He had never seen something like that before and it was also clear from their stance that they wanted Naomi and he knew he had to act fast. He had already told his father and the rest of the alphas that they would be bringing her tonight and so he can’t afford any mistake.He was still deviating a way to capture her when she suddenly started running at her right. He was stunned at first and just watched her, wondering if the night incident had messed with her brain because she of all people should know that she was running straight to a d
Hearing the sound of the door, Asher turned sharply, surprised to see her gone. Without thinking, he teleported and appeared right in front of her, deriving a shocked gasp from her. “Where do you think you are going?”“Don’t do that,” she said, placing a hand on her scared chest. “You almost gave me a heart attack.”Asher ignored her words and repeated, “where are you going?”“I’m going home.”“By this time? Do you have any idea what I just saved you from? How sure are you that they won’t be more? Your only safe place now is with me, Naomi,” Asher said, slightly annoyed at her way of reasoning.“How can I be here when it’s obvious that you don’t even want me here?” She yelled.“What the hell do you mean?”“You know what I mean,” she accused, her eyes blurring over with fresh tears. “You are acting strange, not that it’s really strange since I know where it is leading.”“Like, you have lost me, Naomi, can you please speak in a way that I can understand?”“It’s obvious, okay? I have see
Naomi opened her eyes, shocked at first at where she was before the memory of last night flooded her mind. After her second orgasm and Asher seemed to have had his, her energy as well as his suddenly increased and before she knew it, they had grabbed onto each other demanding more from the other. Thinking about it now, they behaved like animals in heat and it all started after Asher bit her neck. Come to think of it, she frowned, why did he bite her last night? And why did it only sting for a moment and then became pleasurable?Thinking about it, she touched her neck and as she did, a bolt of desire rushed through her instantly and she moaned softly. Her action made the boy lying beside her to stir and she quickly shut her mouth, only remembering then that he was beside her. She let go of her neck and stared at the boy, he looked so peaceful in his sleep that she doesn’t want to wake him up and just want to let him sleep while she watched him. It was still a shock to her how a man cou
“Is he back yet?” Aliyah asked, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.Edward smiled and sat beside her on the bed. “No, but he is safe.”“Are you sure?”“One hundred percent. I didn’t go looking for him because I didn’t sense any danger around him. He is twice as strong as he once was.”“He is?”“Yes, I noticed it before he left. He has merged his powers and that means he can use any without taking it’s form first. He is unstoppable.”“What about that power?”“That I don’t know but he was able to stop himself yesterday, I am sure he had made progress with it. Don’t worry, sleep some more, I will come tell you if there is anything new.”Aliyah nodded and closed her eyes but grabbed his hand when he stood up to leave. “I thought I lost you last night, please don’t ever do that again.” She opened her already tear-filled eyes to look at him pleadingly.Edward smiled softly and sat back down again, placing his hand on top of hers on him, “he is our son, I knew he wouldn’t hurt me.”“But he wa
“Explain, Irene,” Edward was the first to find his voice and he asked without his eyes leaving Naomi and at that moment, they shone a bright blue as he perused her. He heaved a sigh of relief second later and his eyes toned down to midnight blue.“It’s not me that needs to explain but Asher, don’t you think?” Irene asked.“Asher, I don’t understand, what is going on?” Naomi asked, feeling scared and anxious at the same time.Asher licked his lips, wanting to comfort her but also knowing that he needs to answer his elders. “It-it just kind of happened. I can’t even explain it. I just saw it this morning and had to bring her over to hear from you, aunt Irene.”“Why me, what can I do, you have marked her,” Irene replied.“The good thing is that the mark has not been embedded on her soul,” Edward spoke up, his eyes going to his son now, “and that is because you have not accepted it. The mating mark cannot lay a claim to a soul if the marker does not accept it. You and I are the first acci
“What are we to do?” A tall dark-skinned man asked in the room and the rest of the men there sighed. “If Gideon actually saw the Alpha king then it is over for us. We have hidden away from him for five hundred years, it maybe the sins of our ancestors but we are their descendants and their sins reflects on us.”“Alpha Joe is right, just because we have been hidden away from him doesn’t mean our sin is forgiven and that our hereditary blood has been washed away from us. We are rogues and yet we are alphas, it shouldn’t be so and now that he has found us, there is nothing stopping him from tracking us down and stripping us off our alpha genes,” another alpha said.Everyone kept silent for there was no better solution to their current predicament. After some minutes, all eyes turned to Gideon’s father, leader of the Eastwood packs. “What are we to do Alpha Liam?” they all asked.Liam heaved a deep breath and shook his head. “We have been hiding, just like our fathers told us to and we ha
“Do you think I can run some spells on you dear?” Irene asked as she led Naomi to the west wing of the palace.“Um…as long as I am not hurt, I suppose,” Noami shrugged, following her.Irene smiled, “don’t worry, I will be careful.”As they got to the west wing, she led her into a room. The room was massive and there was a big cauldron in the middle of it. There were shelves, some of them occupied vials of different colors and the others contained little animals and body parts of animals in glass looking containers. At the far side of the room were more shelves but these ones held books, black cover books that looked centuries old. Naomi gulped, she really can’t believe that she had walked into a witch’s spell room even though every part of the room was pointing it to her. “Um…where is Asher?”“Gone off to find his mother a birthday gift. He will be back soon,” Irene replied.“Oh,” she nodded.Glancing at her, Irene smiled, “you know, if you miss him, you can just will him and the mark
Naomi stood in the garden, watching the birds flying around and singing and swans having a nice swim in the lake. Everywhere was so peaceful in the garden unlike inside the palace. It was the Queen’s birthday and everyone was busy making arrangements. She hasn’t seen Asher since two days ago and she refrained from missing or thinking about him just in case the mating mark would summon him as Irene had said. No one has paid attention to her or tried to make her stay uncomfortable for her. She has not seen Asher’s father too nor even his mother and Irene occasionally called her into her spell room but once she was done with her spells, she would have a servant escort her to her room.A part of her had wished that Asher would find her or ask about her but since none of the servants had come calling her to tell her means he didn’t and she didn’t want to summon him against his will. Just because he accidentally marked her doesn’t mean she has to take advantage of the mark and make him do w
