Naomi's POVFor more than five minutes, I just stood there, staring at Alpha Baron with my hands across my chest. When he started giving signs that he was tired of waiting for my response, I burst into laughter. “What?” he asked, staring at me as I continued laughing like a maniac. “What?” I replied after him. “Are you seriously asking me that?” Pushing my hair behind my ear, I leaned forward and with my hand wrapped across my chest, I said, “I think you should allow your mind to travel down your memory lane.” “What are you talking about?” His voice was shaky now.“You sent me out of Raven Pack and you want me to return there? How absurd?” I scoffed. Biting my lips, I said, “No matter what happens, I'm not returning to the pack with you.” “Naomi!” He called with a shock filled face but instead of giving him a response, I turned around and then stormed off, ignoring him. It seemed like she had been waiting for my response because, the moment I got in, Cassie grabbed my hand and
Naomi POVWhen I appeared in front of him, he gestured for me to take my seat which I did reluctantly all the while avoiding Alpha Baron's gaze. Clearing his throat, he leaned forward and with his hands clasped, he turned towards Alpha Baron who immediately took his seat. “For the next few days, Alpha Baron will be living with us here. I know it is a sudden decision but he needs my help in strategizing and it's going to take a while before the whole process is completed.” Before he could even finish speaking, I had begun to fume with anger. Just when I thought I wouldn't get to see his face, father had decided to accommodate him for a few days. No doubt, those few days were going to be hell filled for me. “Alright father.” I replied with a little bow and then walked out of the living room with my hands tightly clenched and Cassie closely behind. On getting to my room, I banged the door shut, barely missing Cassie finger as I stormed into the room. With my hands wrapped across my
Alpha Baron's POVInstead of giving me a response to my request, Naomi began to laugh. I don't know why she was laughing but I felt it was like a mockery to me. Though hurted, I didn't act as if I was. When she told me the reason for her laughter, the feeling of failure and anger set in. I knew for certain that it was going to be hard trying to convince her to stay with me but I wouldn't be discouraged, regardless of her initial attitude. Now left alone under the tree, I began to pace around, trying to come up with a concrete plan but my head was fuzzy. I was almost giving up on the whole thing when I sighted Alpha Jethro's car rolling into the premises. At once, I walked up to him and after exchanging pleasantries told him my mission — I told him I wanted his help in combing the rogues. Fortunately, he bought it and even asked me to stay a little while, giving me a bonus point. Now under the tree but now in the night, I couldn't help but review my initial decision of staying bac
Naomi's POVAfter telling Albert all he wanted to know, I didn't bother asking him not to accost Alpha Baron, rather I was pleased that someone came up to my rescue.Just because I didn't want to see him, I had asked the maid to serve me breakfast in my room.When I was done, I began to prepare for the day. Since father had permitted me to step out of the pack house with Cassie, I decided to follow her to the pack hospital.She worked at the pup section, taking care of sick pups and ensuring their whole well being. When she told me about it, I was elated because it sounded like fun and I was already looking forward to it.“Are you ready?” Cassie asked, poking her head through my door. I could see her reflection from the mirror as I styled my hair.“A minute please.” I replied as she made her way into my room. She was about to sit on my bed when I swirled around then yanked her off.“I just made my bed.” I snapped at her. She knew I hated when someone sits on my bed but she still went
Alpha Baron's POVAlbert’s interruption was sudden. If I had know he was trailing after me, I wouldn't have bothered going after Naomi only to be slapped in the face with this kind of embarrassment. Grabbing my steering wheel with both hands, I stepped on the throttle so hard, I was practically flying the road. I only released the pressure when I barely missed an old lady, sending her into a panic shock. Luckily for me, her caretaker was around the corner and so I didn't have to spend time with her. Immediately I pulled up in the garage, Beta Richard walked up to me and after a curt how, he began to fill me in with what had happened. “You mean the whole pack was combed and there was no sight of rogues?” I asked, slamming the door of my car shut as I followed him into the building. “Nope, it's strange, isn't it?” “Of course it is.” Halting, I turned towards his direction, “What if the so called rogue attack was an insider attacker?” I asked. “Insider attack? I don't think so. T
Alpha Baron's POVSeeing the elders alone, I already knew their mission. They were here to express their displeasure but I wasn't bothered. “Your highness, welcome back.” Elder Ryan said as they all curtised. “Thank you.” I replied, staring intently at them. “When did you return from your trip?” Elder Callum asked, they all were still on their feets. “Please have your seats.” I said, pointing towards the couch as I left my swivel chair.“Alpha Baron, this discussion isn't one that should be done whilst sitting down. The rogues are becoming bold with each passing day since you have refused to lift up a finger to put them in their place.” He slammed at me. Pointing towards the door, I followed his fingers but there was nothing there and so I returned my gaze to him. “Just last night, a pregnant woman was attacked by a rogue. With the help of Richard, your Beta, we combed the pack that night but there was no sign of the rogue…” “That's the reason you should know that it's not a ro
Naomi POVLying on the gurney was a little boy who was covered with blood. There were several cuts on his body but I couldn't bring myself to take note of them all. Blinking my eyes rapidly, I tried to steady my heavy breathing but I couldn't. The sight was so terrifying that with each passing minute, I felt life seeping out of me. Just when my legs were about to give way, Cassie held me from behind and then with the aid of another nurse, I was helped to sit on one of the chairs in the hallway. “Are you alright?” The nurse asked but because I could answer, Cassie said, “Thank you, I will take care of her.” “Please do.” For more than half an hour, I sat there, trying to get my mind off what I had seen but the scene was just too horrific for me to forget so easily. When I could finally get a grip on myself, I turned towards Cassie who was staring intently at me. She had the look of worry on her face that made my facepalm myself. “I'm sorry.” I quickly said, pulling myself up. “Y
Naomi's POVImmediately after dinner, I retired to my room to get some rest. If it was before, I would have spent more time bonding with my father but with Alpha Baron's presence, I couldn't stay even one minute extra. With each passing minute, I was glad that the duration of his stay was going to elapse soon and everything would return to normalcy. Now sitting at the edge of my bed, I pushed myself forward before reaching out for my phone. Scrolling through it, a message popped on my screen. It was from Cassie asking me to join her in the kitchen which I readily agreed to. On arrival, I met her kneading flour and a smile immediately spread across my lips. It had been a while since I had a taste of her snacks. “If you don't help me this time around, I'm not going to let you have a taste of these.” She said, nodding towards the bowl in front of her. “Who says I won't help you. Maybe this time around, I will be the one to knead all the flour.” I bragged, proceeding to the sink to
