Naomi's pov.
"Mate,"
My Wolf growled out after him and the entire pack gasped in shock. I couldn't see their faces, I was too shocked and focused on my destined mate to pay them any mind but I could tell what every one of them was thinking.
The Alpha inched closer to me, the mate bond pulling us closer and closer to each other relentlessly. I couldn't stop moving even if I wanted to and I certainly didn't want to, my wolf wouldn't let me. She was too excited to be claimed and so was I. I could feel my heart and my soul aching for him to mark me it was almost painful.
I wasn't touching him yet but I could feel the intensity of our bond like it was something tangible like his skin.
My breathing was labored the more I neared him, the more my breath came out in a short burst of air.
I wanted him so much that I forgot everything I had come here for. I was eager to be claimed by the Alpha who I have incidentally always had a huge fucking crush on.
I never thought in my wildest dreams that the Alpha would even look at me not to mention be my mate. But here I was about to be claimed and marked by him. I could feel butterflies in my stomach. Just like I could feel Jen, my wolf jumping restlessly within me.
I was barely a hair's breadth away from him just about to touch him when two burly guards suddenly came to stand in front of me, disrupting the process.
"What are you doing?" I glowered with wide eyes, feral that they had just blocked my path.
"How dare you try to walk up to the Alpha, you disgusting vermin!" One of them growled, his eyes boring into mine as he held me back.
"Let me pass, Alpha Baron is my mate! I have a right to be near him"
I glared at them, trying to push past them just as my wolf, Jen wanted but failing miserably as they were too strong.
"Alpha Baron, tell them, tell them to let me go!" I pleaded, wondering why he was just standing there watching and not claiming me as his.
My heart began to beat fast within my chest when I realized what was happening. His cold gaze and unresponsiveness told me what I needed to know or maybe already even knew was going to happen. There was no way he was going to accept a slave rogue like me as his mate. It was obvious in the way he was staring at me in disgust. My heart twisted in pain. I didn't want my mate to reject me. I couldn't take it. I know I won't be able to make it.
My eyes began to sting and my body began to shake. Jen was feral and wasn't happy and I could hear her scream out in pain.
"Let her go!." The voice of Alpha Baron suddenly penetrated through my swirling thoughts and my eyes widened in shock and then in joy. So, he wasn't rejecting me?
A flood of relief washed over me as the guards let go of me.
The room felt so tense, I could suffocate in it. I wasn't sure what to even do now that I had been released.
I smiled in excitement as the Alpha inched closer to me.
He was going to kiss me and make me mine, that was the only reason he was trying to close the gap between us. I couldn't believe Lily was right all along
"I reject you as my mate." He said as soon as he got close enough to me.
It was as if time stopped and with it, every form of movement from the crowd stopped. I blinked rapidly
"What?" I whispered audibly as his words sank in.
"I said I reject you as my mate, Did you think I'd accept a…" he looked me up and down in disgust, "A slave girl, a fucking rogue my mate?!" He chuckled darkly.
'But…"
"You are lucky you are allowed in this pack, if I had my way, you'd be dead and gone for the evil your people committed in this pack," he cut through my protest, his words slicing and cutting through my heart like a razor-sharp knife. The expression on his face hurt more than even his words and at that moment, I wanted to crawl into a hole and die.
Why was he doing this? Why was he rejecting me? I panicked.
"Please, you can't send me away," I said, trying to close the gap between us but I was quickly stopped by the guards.
"Let me go!" I yelled as I struggled to get out of their hold.
"Take this disgusting creature to the dungeon and leave her there till I say otherwise," Alpha Baron said with zero emotions in his eyes.
"No, you can't do this!" I yelled as the guards dragged me out of the party. The laughter from the party made me even more feral and I began to scream for Alpha Baron to help me.
The guards opened the door to the cell and threw me in. I quickly pulled myself and ran to the door, trying to escape but it was too late, the door was already locked.
"Please, let go of me! I didn't do anything!"
"Shut up you vermin! You tried to attack the Alpha, that's treason and it's purbushible by death" one of the guards growled,
"Father!" I yelled as I came back to my senses.
*Please, I need you to let me go. My father is dying, I need to find him a doctor! please!" I pleaded in tears.
How had I completely forgotten about my mission?
"Nice try," the guard said with a roll of his eyes.
"Please, I'm being serious, help me!" I pleaded. How could I have been so distracted that I had forgotten about my father.?
"Fine, just help me find Doctor Harrison and take him to my father, he needs immediate attention!" I begged, I was practically on my knees. I couldn't lose my father. He was the only one I had in the world, the only one ego truly loved me without reservation.
I continued to plead with the guards until one of them yelled out in frustration,
"Fine, we'll get your father a doctor!"
I let out a sigh of relief and sank to the ground. I prayed to the moon goddess he would be with my father till Doctor Harrison got there.
I wasn't sure exactly when I fell asleep but when I opened my eyes, I was face to face with Alpha Baron.
Baron's povI clenched my jaw, watching as my guards practically dragged my so-called mate out of the party with the party attendees laughing at the scene.I was finding it difficult to sit still. What had started as a pleasant meeting was starting to look like a terrible fucking mistake.One of the major reasons that I cared to celebrate my birthday and my Coronation anniversary was because I had a plan and it was to invite the Dragonmoon pack princesses so I could find some kind of common ground with the processes but once again they had sent a simple councilman to cover for the fact that they couldn't make it and as if that wasn't enough, that vermin of a rogue had to ruin it all by being my mate.I was already tired and bored of the night"Boss, that was a little hard," my beta said, using the mind link."I don't care. I'm going upstairs, figuring a way to get the guests out of my house early enough,""But you are the host,* my beta pointed out "Not anymore, take over for me," I
Naomi's pov.I paced my cell, waiting for news on my father. I couldn't believe that they had not gotten my father a doctor like I had asked. I wasn't even sure why I had believed that they would. They all hated my guts and it was simply because I was, according to them, a representation of what had happened to them twenty years ago.Not only was I hurt by their words, I was distraught, growing up without a mother and a barely-there adoptive father was more brutal on me than I'd like to admit. Sometimes, I found myself wishing he'd never found me.I heard footsteps walking into the dungeon and my heart began to beat in my chest. I needed to know that my father was okay. That was all that mattered to me right now…Alpha Baron who'd disappeared awhile ago appeared in front of my cell with his eyes blazing with what looked like hate. I quickly scrambled up from the floor and ran towards him, holding the bar that separated us both."How is he?" I asked, my voice coming out panicked. I di
Naomi's povEverything moved in slow motion as the guards carried me out of the courtroom.I had been banished?It was like I was in some kind of trans.I didn' want to believe it.I heard Lily call out my name in the crowd and I glanced at her, unable to hide my tears anymore."Help me!" I yelled and she barreled through the crowd yelling "Rogue must go!" trying to get to me."Let her go!" Lily yellled as she neared but she was instantly blocked by the guards. I tried to stretch my hands to hold her but we just couldn't reach each other."Naomi!" She yelled, trying to reach me still but no matter how much she tried, she just couldn't get to me.I cried out loud begging for them to let me go or at least let me see my father but they didn't listen.Lily's voice became a distant memory as they pushed me into the back of the car and drove me to the border of the car."Get out you murderer!" One of the guards dragged me out and pushed me till I was outside the border of the pack."Please
Naomi’s povI couldn’t hold in the laughter after hearing what the young man standing in front of me said to me, I looked at him and laughed out loud.While laughing I stared at him and realized he was not smiling which means he might be serious when he said that to me. My smile slowly faded as my face got serious.“Do you mean what you just said to me?” I asked him with a serious look on my face. He stared at me and heaved a sigh.“I mean what I said, we’ve searched everywhere for you, but all these years you’ve been nowhere to be found, luckily the moon goddess brought you my way.” I blinked my eyes several times and pinched my cheeks to confirm it wasn’t a nightmare.“Ouch!” I screamed out when I felt the pain of pinching myself on the cheek. There’s no way I’ve been going through so much when I’m supposed to be living as royalty. “How…sure are you, I'm the one you’ve been Looking for?”I asked for clarity and stared at his face to test the sincerity in his reply. “The birthmark on
Naomi povI couldn’t stop pacing around the room after the Omega came to tell me about dinner.I couldn’t tell where to start from and what I would say to them while eating with them for dinner.“This is not good.” I muttered to myself feeling ashamed, I don’t know why I was feeling too ashamed but I really shouldn’t be feeling this way.I stood up from the bed after summoning the courage to step out of the room. I walked to the mirror and stared at myself, then I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before stepping out of the room.While walking down the stairs everyone's attention moved to me as I was walking downstairs, it felt like I was sinking inside the ground as I sighted all of them staring at me.“Hi.” I said awkwardly as I sat down to eat.“That’s mine.” A light voice from behind said to me the moment I sat on the chair.“Cassie, don’t be rude.” The Alpha said to her. From the way he sounded I could immediately tell that he was a loving father to my supposed siblings becau
Alpha Baron povIt’s been days now since I banished my supposed mate out of the pack and I can’t stop thinking about her, which is why I feel banishing her was really the best thing for me to do.“Boss, are you listening to me?” My Beta called back my attention the moment he asked me the question. I snapped out of my thoughts and turned to look at him.“What were you saying?” I asked him so that he can explain everything he already said earlier. From the way he was staring at me I could already tell that he was curious to know where my head was when he was talking to me.“Boss I don’t think it’s okay for me to repeat everything I said, it’s better you take a break and clear your head.” I placed my hand on my forehead and sighed after hearing what my Beta said to me.I felt it was a punishment from the moon goddess for rejecting her in the first place.“Can I talk to you as a friend and not your Alpha?” I asked my Beta because I was in desperate need to talk to someone and explain what
Naomi povAfter taking a tour around the pack house with the help of my sisters, I realized that everyone in the pack house had special power which makes the Dragonmoon pack stand out.“Are you settling well?” Cassie asked. I looked around and sighed. When I first got here I thought I would go crazy because I couldn’t understand anyone or anything, but after spending a little time, I guess I’ll be able to settle sooner than I expected.“With the help of you two I guess I am.” I said to them with a smile on my face. After spending little time with them, I realized that Cassie was a good girl very different from what I imagined her to be, which is why I’m very curious to know why she reacted that way to the dining.“Good to hear.” Annabelle said with her soft voice. Annabelle is the opposite of Cassie, she is very calm and soft spoken, even when she’s angry she knows how to control it like she did that day on the dining table.While we were smiling I couldn’t stop stressing my head tryin
Naomi pov“You must be finding it hard to settle.” Alpha Jethro said to me with a smile on my face. I didn’t feel comfortable replying to him like a family member so I was conflicted on how to go about replying to him.“I am not, everyone has been really nice to me.” I replied to him and smiled brightly. Alpha Jethro seemed like a very smart person and he’s someone that can tell if I’m lying to him. He smiled and nodded his head. “Let’s go out for a walk.” He said to me and we both walked out of the room. It felt surreal that I was walking with my biological father which is something I never imagined to happen. All my life I have been taking care of my sick father so we never got to do things father and daughter do. While we were walking Alpha Jethro private security walked behind us. “That spot over there was your mothers favorite.” He said time with a smile on his face, I noticed Alpha Jethro must have been madly in love with my mother but I wonder why I didn’t get the chance to
