But when dark secrets come to light and alliances shift, Naomi must summon all her strength to confront her greatest adversaries.

Are you trying to use him?”It was early in the morning but the road I was on was a lonely road so I started fidgeting.“You don't have to worry, I'm not going to hurt you.” Lucas took two steps backwards “After all this isn't the time and day for that, so I'll let it rest.”I watched him turn to leave but stopped, facing me again.“The next time this happens, you wouldn't be so lucky. Don't bother waiting for him, he won't show up.”“What do you want?” I screamed after him, holding back my tears.“You know what I want.” He was far away then but I could clearly hear his laughter.Why was all my effort being destroyed? Was I never destined to be happy? I questioned myself.“No! I won't let Laura and the Alpha King down. I have to do something quick but what?” I thought so hard and I couldn't figure out what to do. If Mascot eventually didn't make it as I planned, I would lose all the trust I had built in this clan.Maybe I should go back
“Let's leave.” He stretched out his hands to me, helping me up so I could move swiftly.“What happened?” He asked me as we walked away from the crowd.“They were trying to bully me, obviously.” I said to him.“Why did you come here? men here are not nice at all.” He said as he stopped. We were farther away from the troublemakers now, so we stood to talk.“I came to see your help.”“My help? About what issue?”“As you know, I was earlier accused of being a spy by Mascot, I want you to help me prove that I'm innocent.”“Are you?” He asked, his eyes wide open.“Of course, I am. That's why I want to prove it.” I said.I had three things to prove Mascot wrong about. First, I had to make sure he said that he was the one that chased after me for the sake of Laura. I needed him to also admit the fact that he was working with Lucas against me, so I could convince the Alpha to stand by me. The third one was to prove that I wasn't a spy against this clan.It was going to be a hard fight but I wo
I understood very well what he was trying to say. Just like the last time, Mascot came to him with allegations about me, that was the same thing I was doing. I had to provide the proof so he could believe me, at least.He was trying to be fair and not supportive of anyone except with proof.“I understand that but I want you to also give me a chance to prove it to you.” I replied him. “Just come to the river tomorrow evening and you'll hear from his own mouth all the plot he has made against me.”I was firm in my decision to disgrace Mascot in front of the Alpha.He nodded in agreement and dismissed me. I was grateful for the chance to speak to him. My next two big goals was to first prove to Laura and the Alpha all of Mascot's plan and then to warn Shadowcrest of Lucas’ evil plans for them.He knew that Shadowcrest was my father's clan and they were still as strong as before so he needed to find a way to make us weak. I would never let that happen.I had to make quick moves or things
“You're shocked right?” They laughed in my face. “Well, if you must know, we are in this together.” “This is a plot by you both?” “Actually, it was my plan, he promised to help me.” Lucas jeered with a grin, his teeth bared at me.I glanced at Mascot and I could see he was uncomfortable about what Lucas said. I wanted to know more so I kept asking questions that could trigger that effect on him. “So this was all your doing?” I asked Lucas.“Yeah. Surprised?”“Actually, I am. It was just a pity that I thought that Mascot was man enough to plot all this by himself.” I stole a glance at Mascot.“I did most of the work.” Mascot chimed in.“Yeah but I planned everything.” Lucas retorted. For a second, I knew they weren't on such good terms. One thing I knew about men like Mascot and Lucas is that none of them wanted to be looked down at. They all wanted to be masters and not servants.I was truly scared when I saw they had joined hands together against me but now, I knew their weakness
I wondered if I was cursed or something. Why would I also have bad luck concerning things like this.Mascot who I thought was a friend was messing with me already, trying to make me lose the trust I had built. Now, Lucas was back again. I didn't know why he was here but I knew he wasn't here all the way from ice crest to joke around.“What are you doing here?” My eyeballs were about to fall from my eyes.“I came to visit my little cousin or I remember, you not my cousin. You don't even have a father.” He scoffed.I was rattled. Anyone could see that.“You don't have to be afraid. I'm not here for you. Have you forgotten that I'm the Lord of all. I go everywhere and anywhere.”I didn't believe him. Truly, he went and went whenever and wherever he wanted but how did he know he would be here.Wooooooh.The wind blew again and I cowered in the cold. It wasn't winter so I wondered where the cold was coming. I wished I had come out with my sweater to prevent the cold but that was not my ma
I was accompanied to the Alpha's chambers to explain myself and tell them why I had betrayed them.Mascot followed suit, pretending to look somber when he was actually enjoying whatever that was happening. I didn't care about him, only about the people that his lie would hurt.The Alpha sat surrounded by his elders, he couldn't show how hurt he was because he would be seen to have a soft heart and that was a disadvantage as an Alpha he was.“I am truly disappointed in what I heard but it would be unfair to you to listen blindly to other people and not hear you out.”I looked around first before speaking. I couldn't sight Laura when I began to speak but I knew she was somewhere in the crowd.“I'm sorry that it has to be like this but whatever you heard is not true. I am not a spy and will never betray this clan. Remember you accepted me when I had no one so there's no way I could bite the hand that fed me. I would never do that.” I explained.“If you aren’t a spy then who are you and w
“I hope you guys settle the issue. I thought he was a man you were interested in.” Diane explained.I was shocked at that thought. Why would anyone think I was interested in Mascot or think we were dating in any way?“I mean he was the one interested in you though, you just had this mutual interest for him.”I was dumbfounded and Diane knew it.“He was simply over you.”“He is my friend's boyfriend so it would never work for us both.”“Maybe he is your mate?” Diane suggested.“Is it even possible that my mate is in a relationship with someone close to me?” I questioned thinking deeply to myself. “I actually think I met my mate.” I said aloud to Diane but she didn't say a word.She only nodded and smiled. “Anything can happen.”I wanted to talk to her about my pains and problems but I didn't know if I could trust her. I stared intently at the old woman. Was she going to turn out like Mascot who I had trusted?She turned to me smiling. “You can trust me.” She stood up to go give the he
I didn't know and didn't care to know what happened to Mascot. After I sat with Thorne last night, I discovered we weren't meant to be together. I had important matters to think about and do, so why should I bother myself? I decided that I would go visit my father's clan again. There were lots of things I still needed to know. If I was going to take back my father's inheritance then I knew I needed to get a lot of people on my side to build a strong army.For the past two days, I had been avoiding Laura and still couldn't give her a good reason why I was avoiding her. What would I say to her? That her boyfriend was after me and not her anymore?I was waiting for the perfect time to sneak out of the clan to Shadowcrest, my father's clan, as usual. I didn't want anyone trailing me like the last time as Mascot did. After the incident that happened last time, I didn't bother to know where he was or how he was faring. That wasn't my business anymore.I waited for the sun to fall before le
It was so shocking that I lost composure for a bit that I was being proposed to by my friend's boyfriend.I didn't know what to say so I shut my mouth and stared in disbelief. What was really wrong with Mascot?“What's going on? Why are you on your knees?” It was a stupid question because why would anyone go in their knees with a ring if not to propose?“Naomi, I believe you are my mate. The one the moon goddess made for me. Let's get married.” He was smiling that at this point I thought he was just pranking me.I laughed. “Stop it, Mascot, I won't fall for your prank.”“This isn't a prank, Naomi. You mean a lot to me. You're probably the best thing that has happened to me for a long time.”“Stop it please.” I was feeling so ashamed on his behalf. “You can't do this.”“That's exactly what I'm doing.”“What about Laura? She's a good woman..”“Why do you always mention her when we talk? She's not my mate!” Mascot was boiling. “She's just a leech.”I could remember when Laura mentioned t
