Thirty-SixNaomiConnor drove his car to the front of Aubrey's house, where we were waiting, clad in our pyjamas. The nurse informed me of my mother’s wellbeing, her health was stable for now. That was enough to put me at rest for now.I spent a little bit of time with her, talking to her while she just stared at me, unable to talk, unable to do anything but blink.I even wondered if she could hear what I was telling her.The nurse didn't want to tell me, but I knew my mother had little time left.The only family I had left was going to leave, and there is nothing I could do about it.I cried into Aubrey's arms, feeling at loss with everything, but she comforted me. I have no idea why Aubrey decided to adopt me as her best friend, but she was the sister I never had."Hey Naomi," Connor greeted only me as we got into his expensive looking car judging from the posh leather interior, obviously ignoring Aubrey.After asking so many questions about their beef, I decided to drop it and give
The cabin was a beautiful sight, bathed in the soft yellow light of the fireplace that burned calmly in front of the cozy yet expensive furnishings.A plush wide sofa adorned with blankets and cushions sat invitingly in front of the fireplace, while adjacent to the seating area, a generously sized television screen hung on the wall.Paintings and photographs decorated the walls, some featuring Cole and his parents, along with his bratty sister, Violet.I shivered uncontrollably as I remembered the wicked brat who had abused me when I worked as her maid for extra money.Gossip said she was mated to a beta of a neighboring pack. I didn't care, as long as she was out of my life permanently. But that didn't mean my life was better."This place is awesome," Aubrey exclaimed, looking around with awe, her big eyes sparkling with adoration as she took in the whole place.A photograph on the wall caught my eye. It was a picture of Seth and Connor, both around fifteen, staring at the camera wit
NaomiAfter Aubrey had given Connor a few scratches that were sure to heal in the next few minutes, we cuddled up in the blankets on the wide couch to watch a movie.Aubrey and Connor have been arguing about what movie to watch for minutes while Emily, Luke and I just waited for them to pick one damn movie, before we ran out of popcorn.Luke sighed, taking a swig of a soda, "Are they always like this?" He asked, fed up with the constant arguing over the littlest things."You have no idea." I sighed, going through the list of movies we contemplated watching."I don't know," Emily watched them with a warm glow, "they are really cute.""I'll fucking slit your throat Connor. I'll send your head back to your mother on a stick!" Aubrey snapped, her eyes murderous as she stared into Connor's own irritated eyes."Yep," I sipped chocolate milk as I watched them, "Too cute.""Can you just please stop bickering for once and pick a goddamn movie?" Luke interrupted their bickering, successfully cu
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
