Thirty-NineNaomiA million thoughts ran through my mind as her words echoed in my head. My heart slammed against my rib cage, and it became hard to swallow as Seth's eyes bore into mine, waiting for my reaction. I blinked back the tears threatening to pool into my eyes, I couldn't let them both see how wrecked they made me, especially Brittany. It's expected of her.But Seth? His beautiful eyes held guilt as he looked away from me, the damage already done as I could feel my head pounding. "You-you are going to be the lady of honour?" I asked, my voice strained as I tried but failed to keep my emotions locked.Brittany's grin widened, her eyes showing victory. "Yes, aren't you happy for me?"I could bet my face was the picture of disbelief as I looked deep into the devilish pair of eyes of the one person I hated most.How does one reply to such a question? The room seemed to close in on me as I struggled to maintain composure. My clenched fists betrayed the internal turmoil I was fi
FortyTossing and turning in my bed for three hours, the soft beeping of my mother’s heart monitor kept me awake, along with the thoughts that were swimming in my head.The ball was in three days. In three days, my fear would be more of reality than fear. Brittany would take my place while I was still alive, all just because I was weak. Undeserving omega. I sighed, seating up on my bed. The emotions roaring in my chest threatened to overwhelm me. The weight of my impending fate pressed down on my shoulders, and I couldn't shake the feeling of helplessness.And sadness.The room was dimly lit. The only illumination was the soft glow from my mother’s heart monitor. My mother laid sickly on the bed, her health getting worse and worse as the days went by.I sighed again, brushing away the prickly feeling I get in my chest when I think of who she used to be.Full of life. Happy with Papa.Tears welled up in my eyes as I thought of my mother, lying unconscious, unaware of the pain in my he
Forty-OneSethNaomi's eyes flashed with anger and a stinging slap landed on my face. The unexpected impact left a stinging feeling on my cheek as my face swung back, her reaction catching me off guard.I rubbed my cheek, a smirk on my lips as I nodded. I deserved that, I really did. I hurt her too much, I deserved more than that.Naomi's eyes were filled with sadness and anger, and she pushed me off her, "How dare you?" She seethed, her voice trembling with anger and pain.I met her gaze, the sight of her in pain filling me with guilt so much, that I felt like the biggest loser in the universe. I not only caused her pain, I gave her a taste of what could never be, and I made her think it was one-sided, that I didn't want to be with her.I couldn't stand Brittany, her eyes didn't glow like Naomi's did. After the week we spent together at my parents place, I finally understood why the moon goddess paired us together.But I wasn't deserving of her. She deserved better."You made me look
Forty-TwoNaomiSeth placed hot kisses, making a trail down my body as he lowered down to my wet pussy, hungry and waiting for his cock.This wasn't supposed to be happening as I promised myself, that I would never submit myself to him in this manner after he publicly chose Brittany over me and made her his Luna in waiting when I was still alive, but he said he loved me.Seth loves me. Was he lying? I didn't have time to catch any signs of lies as the thumping of my heart blocked my senses. Seth has done nothing but break my heart over and over again, but the sound of him confessing his love was enough for me to throw every caution in the wind and let myself fall in his arms again.Why?Because I was an idiot.And because…I loved Seth too. More than I wanted to. That was why it hurt when he chose Brittany over me. That is why it hurts to hear him say he loved me. Because he didn't love me enough to choose me as his Luna.I wanted to push him off of me as he lowered towards my pussy,
Forty-three Naomi Seth stroked my chin with so much tenderness and calmness, like he didn't just drop the biggest bombshell on my lap without any prior warning or disclaimer. My head was still reeling from his declaration, so my poor heart was sceptical, wondering if this was yet another scheme to break my heart ruthlessly like he has done since the day I laid my eyes on him. I gaped at him, confused and desperate, for him to tell me why he changed his mind all of a sudden, or for this dream to end, because I was way too confused to make a grammatically correct statement without sounding like I had two brain cells. I sprang up to my feet, my body just acting in flight mode as I snatched my nightdress from the pile on the floor where our clothes lie. This was a joke. A big, fat, hilarious joke. He was lying to me, and by the time it was sunrise, he would slam the bitter dark truth in my face, it was all a prank and he didn't truly love anyone but Brittany. Seth sprang up after m
NaomiBrittany was Seth's problem to handle, Seth's words, not mine. He already had a plan to get rid of her without causing wars between her father, the Alpha of his pack and this pack.I agreed, not because of war, but because I wanted my face intact and fighting that Alpha female wasn't one thing I was going to do. With a spring in my steps and a smile on my face, Seth and I departed the rooftop, and Seth led me to my room, promising that was the last night I would be staying in that room, since I would spend the rest of the nights of my life in his arms. He made me look forward to forever. I tucked into my bed, the events of earlier tonight playing like a movie in my head. Seth loves me. Me.I blushed deeply as I squealed into my pillow, not wanting to wake up my mother.Luna Naomi, Queen Naomi.Excitement bubbled within me as I imagined being bowed to by all that once bullied me. The same people who abused me, coming to me for favours.And the look on Brittany's face when she
NaomiWith a smile on my face, I carried my shopping bags in my hands, humming a happy tune despite the ache in my legs.My room came to view, a figure pacing in front of the door with anger.I stopped in my tracks as I saw Brittany pacing in front of my room, her fists clenched and her expression furious.Could it be that Seth already told her I was going to be Luna?If that was the case, isn't she supposed to be out of the pack already? Scepticism filled me as I eyed her, unease with her presence in front of my door, and the absence of anyone else in the hallway.I moved my feet closer to her, ready to get whatever this was over with. Brittany's pacing slowed down as she finally noticed my presence. She turned her furious gaze towards me, her eyes filled with venom."Where have you been you stupid slave?" She spat, her eyes blazing with venom.I opened my mouth to reply, but her gaze fell to the shopping bags I had in my grip."Give me that." She snatched the bags from my grip. He
SethI checked the border one last time to ensure my most trusted men were on guard for the ball, so we had the best of the best security while hosting the most prestigious people in the kingdom. We couldn't afford a rogue breech, especially not at this period of time where rogues saw the best opportunity to attack everyone at once. The last time that sort of thing happened was a few years ago, when the rogues attacked in such coordination then ever before, ruled by a self appointed rogue king. They managed to slaughter some of my men, but due to the efficient training they were given, they handled the situation well, containing the rogues before they could hurt the members and the visitors.Ever since then, we ensured the border was strengthened at this time of the year. No one knows when the rogue king, like he calls himself would attack again.Better to be safe than sorry. A mind link request came in and I accepted it. The maid announced that she had dropped off the dress and I
