One hundred and Twenty-EightVioletI watched how the emotions in Naomi's eyes went from annoyance to anger, and I almost couldn't help but smirk.Ever since the night of the mating ball, where I found out I wasn't mated to the Alpha king but I stead, a mere alpha of a small pack, and my maid was the mate of the king instead, I was blinded with rage.How dare she steal what's mine? I was meant to be the queen Luna, not her.Every night as I stayed in that pathetic place with my pathetic mate, I plotted how I would get back here, and take back my crown. It wasn't supposed to be hard. I thought it would be easy until I found out that slave bewitched my Seth, and made him fall in love with her!It couldn't be possible. I had to see for myself. And I did. Not only was he in love with her, but she was pregnant of his child.My anger knew no bounds. She stole my life, my man, and my family. She was almost stealing Connor from me.But I was here now, and I saw how easy it was to make them f
One hundred and Twenty-NineNaomi"Oh Naomi, I'm so sorry for taking Seth away from you, but I can't imagine how I would be if he didn't help me here." Violet apologised to me as I joined them in the infirmary where healers checked her ankle that I could bet wasn't broken.Seth was communicating with the other healer, but he could hear our conversation. I bet that was what she was hoping to get, since we both knew she wasn't sorry, and all this was fake. I gave her a fake wide smile. "Oh it's fine, I bet you would have been fine without him though."Her smile faltered but she let out an unconvincing laughter. "But I don't have to since he's here, right? Seth wouldn't watch me suffer, would you, Seth?"Seth turned to her and gave a warm smile, "I wouldn't, Violet. "Violet beamed at him. "I know you wouldn't, just like old times."I felt sick to my stomach watching her bat her eyelashes at him, I wish I could pull her hair out of her head.She gave me a big smile as if knowing what I
SethImmediately we got down from the car, I almost couldn't hold myself any further. If it was the other car where I could block the two in front from seeing what went on behind the seats, I would have gotten both my release and hers.Little tease. She let out a loud laugh as I swept her in my arms and practically flew upstairs, and even laughed louder as we barged into Xander.I almost growled out loud. Out of all the times he could have come to this side of this floor, why today? Why now, when I wanted nothing but to have marathon sex with my mate?"Hey Xander. I hope Connor hasn't killed you with work." Naomi asked, amusement in her voice as she took in Xander's appearance. His eyes were sunken, no bet from the work I asked Connro to test him with.So far he has been good, except from the occasional times he has threatened to pull out the eyes of some Alphas, and the fights he and Connor often had because of their egos.But they were beginning to manage eachother, making my decisi
One hundred and Thirty-OneNaomiFew minutes after we finished, Seth took me in his arms, and poured some shampoo in his hands and started washing me, from my hair to my shoulders, massaging my sore bones and back with the sweet soap.I relaxed in his hold, my wolf purring at the tender treatment and I put a smile on my face."I love this." I murmured as his fingers worked on my hair. He chuckled, his chest rumbling on my back."I want to do this to you often. I'm sorry I've been so busy."Seth continued to massage the shampoo into my hair, his touch gentle yet firm. "I've missed moments like these," he admitted, his voice warm against my ear, doing things to my insides."Work has been overwhelming, but I promise to make more time for us." Thee warmth in his voice tugged at my heartstrings, and I felt silly for being jealous of Violet. She was harmless. Seth loved me. Nothing was going to change that.And he saw Violet as only his sister."I understand babe. I should be the one doing
Seth Walking out of the room, I felt an amount of guilt I couldn't suppress. My time with Naomi has been constantly disturbed because of one emergency or the other, but I had to do something about Violet. I couldn't abandom her, not when her brother didn't bother himself with her issues. It had always been like that since we were young, and I was always left with taking care of her. He always called her spoiled and selfish, but all I saw was a misunderstood girl. I was already grateful for Naomi for forgiving Violet for all she had done in the past, she had no idea how much it meant to me. She was the best mate ever, and I loved her with all my heart. I was rounding the corridor, when I almost stumbled on Connor who was stepping out of his room, a disturbed look on his face, but that disappeared as his eyes met mine, and he gave a nod. "Hey." Something was bothering him. Something has been bothering him for a while now, but Connor preferred dealing with his problems alone. I
Naomi Putting on my clothes, I walked out of my room and to Aubrey's room. I placed a soft knock on the door, and patiently waited for a reply. I already sent them messages on my phone, but only Hazel saw it. Maybe Aubrey was asleep. But she was going to have to wake up for this. Hazel walked from down the hall with Xander, and they both looked deeply in love with each other. It tugged on my heart strings to see them so happy with each other. They had not seen me yet, and Xander took Hazel by her waist and pushed her to a wall, trapping her against it while Hazel giggled as she put her fingers in his hair. "I know you are excited Xander, but I want to leave it as a surprise!" Xander growled, but Hazel just giggled louder. "Come on, Hazel. I need to know." She placed a kiss on his lips. "No baby." His hands snaked around her waist and he pulled her closer. "I wouldn't do those things you like anymore until you tell me." She pulled him closer, their noses touching. "You would
SethNext week was my parent's anniversary, their thirtieth anniversary and they always celebrated every ten years.The party was going to hold in this pack, but just Alphas and their Lunas. Royal subjects only.Parties like these were very important, and they were part of what the queen organises because she was the only one trusted for things as important like this.But Naomi was pregnant, I didn't want to stress her much.Violet offered to assist. She hasn't stopped talking about how unhappy she was that Naomi hated her, and how I didn't believe her.So she decided helping Naomi would be a way for her to make up her abuse all those years to Naomi, and help convince Naomi to not destroy her.I felt it was dumb, but I agreed. Just to satisfy all righteousness. I didn't believe Violet, but this was the only way to know if she was lying for sure. I trusted Naomi with all my life, but Violet also mattered. I had to give her a chance too. This way, I would be able to prove if what Conno
NaomiViolet! Violet!! Violet!!!Grrr! The pen in my hand almost broke and I was sure I was scaring poor Cecil with how I look like a raging bull at this minute.We were in my private office, which was a section of my own personal quarters, where the baby will be nursed when I conceived. I liked the space, it helped me think. And also work.Yes, I already started some of my Queen duties like handling the upcoming celebration for the royal anniversary. But with what Seth had told me, Violet was going to work with me, I knew she had something to do with it.And I hated it. I tried not to, but I did. She had a plan, because for her to request to be a part of this, she had something cooking.I wouldn't let her soil my reputation in the presence of the Alphas and Lunas, and Luna Tia and Alpha Asher. No way.This was my first official duty as Queen, and i had to make sure it goes perfectly. "Your highness, I asked if you were ready to speak to the chef and the maid in charge of acquir
