22 - The Answer
***Naomi's POV***
Matthew caught me off guard with his unexpected question, making me choke on the food I was chewing. He rushes towards me, offering his drink while gently patting my back. I drink it and take a deep breath.
-"Pardon me?"
-"The night you found out we were mates, why did you run away?" Oh, I heard him right the first time around, but I didn't know how to answer. I might have run off back then, but I can't do it anymore. I gave him my word.
-"Because I saw my dreams of having a mate shatter to pieces. I know you must think I am a coward, but I didn't know what to do. My parents raised me to be a good girl, and good girls don't go jumping into married men's arms." I take a deep b

***Matthew's POV***The Alpha's retrieved to their bedrooms for the night, leaving Naomi and me alone in the kitchen. There is so much I want to ask her, but I don't know where to start. I observe her going through the kitchen, placing food on her plate. Her scent is so strong and vibrant. It makes me want to hold her closer. Her loose black hair perfectly frames her beautiful face. My fingers itch to place it behind her ear and caress her cheek. She reaches for food further away from her, and her crop top lifts slightly, giving me a glimpse of her bare tiny waist. It's taking all my self-control for me not to hug her.Naomi sits on the tall island chairs and puts together her super sandwich. She has been through a lot.

Toss here, roll there, unable to fall asleep again.Matt filled my mind. What kind of man leaves a woman hanging after telling her he wants her? I was a little hurt even, but maybe it was for the best. I would have made it too easy on him.After the heated event in the kitchen, Iretrieved myself to the guest room and had a long soothing shower, but now I had nothing to dress.

Matt helps me cough up whatever food remains in my lungs by patting and rubbing soothing circles on my back. His intentions are good, except his touch is making me more unsettled.

***Naomi's POV***Matt carried me out of Grayfangs packhouse towards the most amazing car I have ever seen. A dark-gray McLaren 600LT 2020 model with black accents pulled up onto the driveway. Oliver came out of the driver's seat and walked to the passenger side, opening the door.-"Thanks, Oliver, for bringing my ride this morning." Matt said as he placed me on my feet in front of the car seat, motioning to get in. I do as I'm told.-"Anything for you and Luna, Alpha. Jax and I will be following you from behind on the Landrover." Oliver motions his right thumb towards the black vehicle currently parked behind. Jax sat in the driver's seat. "As soon as we enter our territory, the pack warriors will escort you to the Alpha's Mansion, where Beta Morris will be w
Luna’s Replacement 27 - The Elders
We walk through the mansion's entry door, and Matt places me down, on my two feet, in the middle of the lobby. The Foyer consists of two openings on either side of the expresso-colored wood staircase, leading to the mansion's top floors.A ginger head woman walks from the opening on the Right, which appears to provide a route to a living room. She has curly hair, which cascades nicely over the white long-sleeve blouse. The high waist gray serge trousers emphasize her skinny figure and look amazing paired with her glossy-black scarpin shoes. Her make-up is almost nonexistent, except for her nude lipstick.-"Ah, Alpha, Welcome Home." She said while performing a curtsy.Morris walks past Matt and me towards the gorgeous woman, kissing her forehead. She gives him the most in lo

Alpha Elijah says with a grim expression. -"Naomi has to prove she can be kind and just, kill for the pack, and submit to you as her Alpha." Alpha Elijah adds. -"The Trial of Justice - Luna Naomi's decision-making will be tested in this trial. She will face two situations where she has to show kindness and fairness. This trial is the easiest of them all." Elder Raymond breaks down the first trial. He is sitting next to Elder Theo, who is on the left side of the conference table. -"The Trial of Loyalty - Luna Naomi has to take a life from someone who wronged the pack or attempted to hurt a pack member."

***Matthew's POV***The morning had started chaotic, and the afternoon wasn't going to be any quieter. More events were happening in the last two days than in the previous two years of my life.A disaster. The meeting had been a complete disgrace. Everything that could go wrong went beyond wrong. Elder Theo was a pain in the ass like he always is. If I could, I would have replaced him, but once a member is elected to be part of the Elders, they are selected for life. I can't kill him either because if I do, the Elders will charge me with treason and strip me from my title as Alpha.Goddess knows why, Elder Theo had made Naomi his primary target. He enforced on her our admission trials, which we didn't even do anymore. I was livid. My wolf and I wanted to

He says as he kisses my forehead.Did he really have to say it like that? This was much more than justsex to me. It is a connection that makes complete. Matt claimed my wolf Artemis and me as his, making us whole. Artemis had instructed me to claim Matt too, and I did it in the spur of the moment.
