NaomiLight snoring drifted in and out of my ears, and my eyelids fluttered open, revealing a dimly lit room. The warmth of the covers cocooned me, and I slowly turned my head to find Seth still sound asleep beside me. His tousled hair and peaceful expression made my heart soften.But that feeling didn't last long as the events of yesterday rushed back to me. He really hurt me, I couldn't even think straight after that. I sighed, slipping out of the bed, careful not to wake him and wrapped myself in a robe and quietly left the room.The jug was empty, and a glass of water was what I needed, and I headed to the kitchen on our floor.I let out a relieved sigh as I met an empty kitchen, and I walked towards the fridge. Some kitchen staff often stayed back to make breakfast as early as they could for the Royal men, but I made sure to stop that when I became queen. The Royal men could wait for a few hours before having breakfast. There was no need to stop the ladies from having a good ni
One hundred and Twenty-FiveNaomiFuming, I left the kitchen, the sound of my feet in the floor echoing after me up until I reached the door to my room.I slipped in quietly, but I wasn't as discrete as I hoped I was as the light flickered om the minute I got inside, and Seth sat at the end of my dresser, with the light control in his hand.He crossed his hands over his biceps, and I had to stop myself at ogling at the body of a man that was my mate and not my husband, like I was informed this night.I didn't want her words to get to me, but she was right. He never asked me to get married to him. Maybe he doesn't see me as a wife.I looked into his eyes, trying to find my answers but they just studied me instead."Why are you up?" I asked, walking into the room as I pulled off my robe, and I sat on the bed, preparing to go back to sleep all while avoiding his piercing gaze.I was still mad at him. So I pretended not to care. I also tried my best to hide the fact that something was bot
One hundred and twenty-SixNaomiDeciding I wasn't going to let Violet flaunt her status in Seth's life in my face and show her how superior I was to her in this.I was going to put a stick in every thing she had planned to destroy my relationship. So I was pretty excited to follow Seth to this ceremony. It was going to make her really mad, but I was going to use it to my advantage. It would make her mad, and mad Violet was a monster.I needed Seth to see that monster. Putting on a free flowery dress and a tight, I paired it with slip ons, and I tied my hair with a ribbon.Satisfied with my look, I turned to Seth who was putting on his dress shirt, and I swooned for a minute. The blue shirt clung onto his body like a second skin, and his fingers softly did the buttons, the simple action looking enticing because he was the one doing it.I walked up to him, and replaced his fingers with mine, helping him finish up the buttons.His hands wrapped around my waist and he drew me close, a
One hundred and Twenty-SevenNaomi"Welcome King, Queen." The woman in charge of the new training ground bowed as we walked in, and I gave her a warm smile.She was a strong warrior, and she seemed to be in her late thirties. But her body was strong and firm, obviously from the years of being a warrior. She returned my smile with a nod, and behind her, the kids from five all the way to fifteen stood in an orderly line, but they all had excitement and respect written all over their faces as they stared at us, waiting patiently for us to open up the best training ground for kids ever."Hello, Ruth. I see what you've been doing here." Seth commented with a nod of his head as he collected the pair of scissors he was going to use to cut open the training ground ribbon."Thank you, Alpha. It wasn't easy to do. Luckily I had help and the resources," she gave a slight smile, causing me to turn my gaze to Seth then back at her."Wait, you designed this area yourself?" I asked, astonished at t
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
