In the last chapter, Seth didn't know Violet was flirting with him because he doesn't see her that way. He wasn't paying attention. He sees her as a sister, nothing else.
Naomi The trip to the clinic was fast, slow and everything else, especially awkward. He was so far, yet so close, and I was heart broken and yet I wanted him to hold my hand so bad. I really wanted him to. But he didn't. As soon as the door was opened he stepped out and walked to my side to help me down. Our hands met, our eyes met, and I saw his eyes softening. He helped me down, then placed his other hand on my waist, taking me by surprise. I was too stunned to say anything, I thought he didn't want anything to do with me for now. But here he was, staring at me with a look I didn't know how to place. "I know I have a part in this, I pressured you into forgiving her even after she hurt you all those times when you were her maid. And I'm sorry." Words got stuck in my throat as I realised I needed this, this apology, without even knowing I did. He did pressure me, he made it hard for me to do something about Violet because I didn't want to cause issues. I shouldn't have let him.
Naomi Aubrey and Hazel thought my plan, operation show the demon Violet truly was, was brilliant, but needed a shorter name. Aubrey decided to call it, operation ruin Violet's plan, RVP. It was a less dumb name, but I personally wasn't going to admit that. "I like my name better," I pouted, folding my arms together. "Well I'm not about to call the plan that long as shit name." Aubrey folded her arms, mirroring my glare. Hazel glanced up from the notebook, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "How about Operation Vengeance?" she suggested. "That's better than what you both came up with." Aubrey and I exchanged a look, then simultaneously shrugged. "Works for me," I said, a smirk playing on my lips. "As long as that bitch goes down once and for all." Hazel paused, "Wait, I can use a magic spell to make her blurt out all her secrets." Aubrey shook her head, "Nah, that wouldn't work. Both the former Alpha and Beta have been fortified with powerful anti-magic charms and they fortifie
Naomi"The decorations are lovely, Hazel, but it's an anniversary, not a funeral. Please remove the black colours." " Chloe, Luna Tia seats beside Alpha Asher, her husband, not Alpha Brian. We do not need a war on our hands right now.""Chloe, do not put Alpha Brian next to Alpha Grey, they hate each other!" I barked out orders as we finished up the arrangements for the party. It was tomorrow, and the Alphas and Lunas were arriving today so everything had to be perfect, down to their seating arrangements. Violet has been absent, but when she was present, she came with a large white bandage on her arm as if she still had a wound. Everyone knew she was a beta decendant, so her wound would have healed already.But no one cared enough to give their two cents. She actually stayed away from me, not bothering me in any way. It was almost as if she knew what I had planned. It put a big pause on my plans, but Seth and I have been good after our ultra scan. He couldn't let go of me, and fra
Naomi The day of the anniversary was here. I woke up tense, because of Violet's comment and I just laid under the blanket, looking up at the ceiling and traced the patterns drawn on it. Beside me , Seth stirred in the bed and a large arm rose to caress my belly. "Good morning little wolf." He whispered, before turning to me. His normally perfect hair was just shaggy today, and his blue grey eyes crinkled at the edges. I wanted to kiss him, but I couldn't. The nerves were eating me alive . He seemed to read my mind as he moved closer to me, his nose brushing mine softly. "Good morning mummy " He captured my lips in a short kiss,,and my lips quivered, ruining the kiss. He pulled back, his cute face scrunched up in confusion He looked like around five with the pout on his lips and I almost laughed. Almost. I couldn't, and my hands shook om my lap. "What's wrong mummy?" I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. "It's today, Seth," I replied, forcing a small smile. "I ju
Seth The second my mother asked that question, I saw Naomi stiffen beside me, and her breathing became laboured as Violet's eyes met hers. I didn't like having to make decisions like this, but my choice was clear. If Violet was to say the truth, it was going to destroy Naomi's confidence, and she's been doing well so far. I didn't want that. I didn't want her to get embarrassed. I stepped in between Violet and my mum before she could reply and said, "Oh no, it's my fault really. It was an on field injury. " Mother rose a brow as I explained, not buying into my story, "Hm? So how did it happen? And why don't you allow Violet to speak for herself?" I placed a hand on Violet's shoulder, giving it a little squeeze. "Don't mind me, mother. I feel guilty, that's all. Violet, tell mum how those thorns dug into your arm when you followed me to investigate close to the border." Violet looked shocked and thankfully, one of the Lunas came to pull my mother away, leaving me with just Viole
Naomi The Hall was just as beautiful as I imagined it would be, and I made sure to extend my pleasantries to Hazel and Aubrey. I felt ready to conquer the world as Seth and I depended down the stairs to join the already starting dinner. The celebrants were yet to come down yet, but every other guest was seated, waiting for them. I waddled to the front of the hall and took the microphone. Everyone turned to me, and I smiled brightly. "Thank you all for honouring our invitation to Asher and Tia's thirtieth anniversary. I'm Naomi, enjoy your dinner." The guests dropped all their gifts on a table close to the stage while soft music played, signifying the entrance of the couple of tonight. Tia and Asher descended from the staricase, both looking young and happy just like the picture of them on their wedding day that hung on the wall in the hall. Seth walked up to me as we watched them happily walk into the hall and everyone cheered for them. "I bet you would be even more beautiful o
NaomiWe danced until our feet hurt and after Tia and Asher opened their gifts, it was time for the food. Asher couldn't contain his relief as we sat down to eat."Finally. I've been starving." He rubbed his hands together as the waiters brought plates of steaming food, first starting with appetisers.My dish was the last, and I hoped they were going to enjoy the dish I specially prepared from my mother's recipe.The aroma of the dish filled the air as the waiters placed it on the table. I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. Tia and Asher looked at the dish with curiosity."What's this?" Tia asked, eying the dish."It's a traditional recipe from my mother. I hope you like it," I replied, a hint of anticipation in my voice.Tia studied the dish, while Asher took a bite. "It looks delicious. What are the ingredients you used in making this?""Doest look like much to me," Sheila muttered under her breath, while I ignored her, beaming with pride."Well, it's an an
SethMy head pounded in my head as I peeled my eyes off Naomi and ran after the ambulance that conveyed my mother to the clinic.Her shrimp allergy was one of the various allergies that were extreme, so extreme that if it wasn't managed, she could die. For that particular reason, shrimp was banned in every dish that was made for us throughout my child hood.And when she left the house, my mother always had an allergy pen tucked safely In her purse.But she decided n8t to bring one today, because a very comprehensive allergy list was given to us.The list was given to Violet, who in turn gave it to Naomi, who then decided to make this dish, with shrimp inside.It was a mistake, it definitely was. But what sort of mistake was that? One that almost cost me my mother's life?I refused to think about it as I walked into the clinic. I plan to deal with it later. Maybe when I wasn't angry with my mate and was clear headed and sure my mother was okay.Healers surrounded my mother, who was loo
