Baron's pov
I 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 said and immediately left the party.
Back in my room, I paced my bedroom floor, trying to figure out where on earth u had gone fuckin wrong!
Naomi? Or whatever her name was the best the moon goddess could?
Fudk that!
I wasn't even interested in getting married right now, there was only one thing I cared about and it was getting my hands on the Dragonmoon powers. Mating with one of the princesses would instantly grant me not just her army of bending werewolf, it would also grant me some of the powers and abilities I needed to protect my pack j and find and torture to the death the rogues that had killed my parents many years ago.
My hands balled into fists and my nails dug into my palms.
I was going to kill her for daring to walk up to me, for thinking there was any way I was going to marry a fucking slave girl rogue.
She was lucky that she'd not been banished yet. The only reason she was still in my pack was because of Elder Jones. Had saved her many years ago after the great rogue war.
I growled as my wolf growled restlessly.
He was upset that I had rejected his mate.
"Calm down Julius, she's been fat beneath us." I tried to placate him but that only seemed to anger him.
Deciding to ignore his anger, I jumped into the shower and washed up. Maybe I'd be able to finally silence him and forget about the whole thing.
But as the water cascaded down my back, all I could see was the slave girl: 's face looking up at me eagerly like an eager pup. I would be lying if I said I didn't want to immediately kiss her and mate with her then. The mate pull had been so strong that if my guards had not stopped me, I'd have probably kissed her before stopping me.
Even now, I could still feel the pull to her and I hated it! This was a distraction that I would need to cut off somehow. It was a distraction, I couldn't afford it.
I could not be mated to an enemy of the pack.
I turned off the shower and stepped out, drying myself with a towel as I went.
I was going to kill these feelings whether they liked it or not and if they didn't die, then I'd have to kill the object of them.
I put on my sweatshirt and climbed into bed, trying my best to forget about the disaster of a night but after a whole two hours of trying to sleep, I gave up and climbed out of bed.
I put on a shirt and sweatpants and decided to go out for a run, I needed to cool off. I wasn't sure if my Beta had managed to send everyone home, but I could still hear music coming from the hall.
I found my way out of the pack house and somehow, into the hallway of the dungeon.
"Sire," the guard on duty bowed as he noticed me walking towards him.
"The key to the dungeon of the slave girl," I said in response, stressing out my hands for it before I even got to where he stood.
"You… you want me to open her cell…"
"The key!" I growled and he quickly went through each key with him and handed me the right one when he found it.
I balled the keys in my hands and moved past the guard and in no time, found her cell. I opened the door without thinking and found the rogue, fast asleep with streaks of tears running down her face.
Fuck! I had half the mind to claw her face and her heart out and end this torturous mate bond feelings or kiss her.
What the fuck was wrong with me? I growled internally at myself.
"Kids her, she's yours," my wolf said internally, urging me to mark her.
"Not!" I barked a little too loudly and the girl beneath me stirred in her sleep and soon enough, her eyes fluttered open.
"Alpha Baron!" Her eyes widened and she scrambled up to sit up, ," you came for me," she said with a smile.
I stared at her, disgusted by the look in her eyes but at the same time wanting and needing her beneath me.
I was pathetic, lusting after a rogue… I should have killed her as a baby when I had the chance.
"Wipe that look off your face, I did not come back for you, Yiu thinks I'd want a rogue as my Luna?" I scoffed
His face fell and it looked like my words hurt her
good, she deserved every bit of rejection.
"If you aren't here for me, I understand but I want to know if my father is okay. I begged the guards to get a doctor to him when I was being dragged here,"
I frowned, knowing full well that my men wouldn't take a prisoner's request seriously.
It also made me mad that she was okay with my rejection and more concerned about her traitor father.
I called out to one of the guards and one of them came running to my side.
"Did anybody get a doctor to Jones' house?" I asked.
"No, sir," the guard shook his head
"Send two guards with Doctor Harrison to his house and check on him,"
"Yes sir,"
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
Naomi povAfter having a nice conversation with my father I headed back to the room and tiredly sat on the bed. With everything he said to me, the one that seemed unbelievable is that I possess a special power that no one in the Dragonmoon pack possesses.“That has to be a joke.” I smirked. I couldn’t bother myself with such information because I know that I don’t possess such power so I don’t think my father knows what he’s talking about. I laid on the bed when I heard a knock in the door. “Argggg.” I grinned as I heard the knock on the door. I haven’t had a good rest since I got here. “What is it this time.” I muttered as I walked to the door. “Ma’am you have a guest.” I was shocked to hear what the maid said to me. “A guest?” I asked with my eyes open wider than normal. How would anyone come to see me, when I just got here and I don’t know anyone. I closed the door and walked to my closet so that I can pick a dress to wear. It’s my first time having a guest in my life. I lived
