32 - Date Proposal
***Naomi's POV***
-"Naomi," a soft hand tries to shake me awake.
After laying all my cards on the table last night and getting through Matt's thick wall of pre-formed sexist concepts, I managed to establish my position within the pack. We had also set some relationship boundaries, allowing us to reduce the mate bond influence over our actions and grow closer emotionally, not just physically.
However, let me say one thing, I regret setting up the no skinship rule the moment I realized I couldn't fall asleep without his warmth next to me. I tossed and turned all night, wanting to crawl into Matt's comforting arms. The number of times I physically stopped myself from turning the doorknob of Carl's bedroom door is insane. My body had a mind of its own.

***Matthew's POV***Morris and I are currently sitting in my office going over our allies' reports regarding the rogues and trying to find a pattern about their attacks when we came across one from Blazefur dated a few months back. Their Alpha and Luna were slaughtered in front of their pack, along with whoever refused to join the rogues. The fear and horror of the Blazefur's messenger are still etched in my mind. He had been sent by the rogue's Alpha, only to succumb to his wounds minutes after delivering the note; it revolts and disgusts me to the core. Unfortunately, Blazefur was not the only pack that suffered against the rogues' self-proclaimed Alpha's tyranny. Just how far is he willing to go for power? Whoever he is, he needs to be stopped; and it will be by my own hands. As the Alpha King, I do not tolerate this behavior, and I will not be idle while someone is m

***Matthew's POV***After returning from patrol, Morris and I go our separate ways. I entered the manor through the kitchen and headed for the closet by the hallway. I picked out navy-blue beach shorts and wore them before returning to the kitchen. Mrs. Garcia was in the process of preparing the picnic basket I mind-linked about. She has been with my family since I can remember. She is the female figure I look up to after my mother's passing.Mrs. Garcia can cook just about anything, and she makes the most delicious Portuguese custard tarts (Pasteis de Nata) there is, my favorite. I asked her to add it to the picnic snack list, along with some Caprese Sandwiches (juicy tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and fresh basil sandwich), Baba Ganoush, and fresh pita bread. The weather is supposed to be a bit chilly tonight,
Luna’s Replacement 35 - Unknown
***Unknown's POV*** Deep in the woods, where no one adventures, stands a forgotten house aged by time and weather adversities. At first glance, it might appear inhabited, but if anyone were brave enough to wander inside, they would witness its hidden secrets yet to be discovered. Darkness loomed the forest as night was at its peak. A mysterious figure wearing a black hooded jumper, concealing the person's identity, walks through the overgrown vegetation, making way to its destination. Loud creaking sounds disturbed the silence of the night as the stranger, who was no stranger to the house, took steps up the aged wooden-floored front porch under the dim moonlight. A hand once tucked inside one of the midnight trousers' pockets made contact with the door to knock. An owl hoots in the distance as the front door

***Naomi's POV***Running as fast as possible, I sprint through the woods around the Alpha's mansion in my human form. With the dawn as my background, I let the earthy footpath guide me through the pine trees. Matt has yet to show me the pack borders before I adventure off-trail, further into the woods.Pack warriors in their wolf forms were patrolling the area. They would stop and lower their front paws, showing me their respect as I passed by. I acknowledge them with a smile and continue sprinting past them. After twenty minutes, I turn back, running towards the manor, not wanting to be late.Yesterday while we browsed through the lingerie store, I asked Charlotte to mind-link a couple of females interested in basic self-defense and have them meet me at 6 a.m. for ou

***Mathew's POV***Jax bursts open the Emergency Room doors at the pack's Hospital, creating a way for us to carry Naomi and Luke's unconscious forms through it. An antiseptic smell immediately swarms my nostrils as my eyes survey the room, looking for the medical teams I had requested through the mind-link before our arrival. Five stretchers lined with white sheets were equally spaced in the ER's east and west walls framing the nurses' station, which sat in the center. Each bed was separated by a blue paper-like curtain that stopped one foot away from the floor. Our outburst startled the nurses attending to the patients in the occupied cubicles.-"Alpha, over here." A nurse instructs me to follow her with me carrying Naomi's stone-cold body into a private room. Morris and Oliver take Luke to one of the empty stretchers
Luna’s Replacement 38 - Knock, knock, knock.
***Naomi's POV***To say I was frustrated and annoyed by my situation would be an understatement. I was close to being livid. All arguments regarding my well-being, physical contact, and the "no need to be near him" were immediately dismissed before they were even addressed, no thanks to Doctor Reyes and her "doctor's orders". Matt carries me through his office door, finally placing me on the big black velvet sofa to the right.He didn't allow me to do anything on my own, and it was getting on my nerves. He carries meeverywhere, even to the restroom. Insane, right? It was one thing to look out for me, but it's another to deprive me of any and all independence. Just thinking about it makes my eye twitch in complete frustration. I cross my arms and turn away from him, letting out an angry

***Naomi's POV***-"Huh, nothing." Matt throws the book he was holding across the table. His eyebrows were frowned together, showing his growing frustration. He walks back to the Library's encyclopedia section, browsing through the nearby shelves.-"The pack's Library is enormous. I am sure we will find some answers. We just need to be patient." I say as I stroll through the book I am holding. Matt wasn't the only one running out of patience. Truth be told, mine was nearing its end as well.We had been up all night after I dragged him out of bed to go through piles and piles of knowledge, trying to figure out what was happening to me. The dreams I have been experiencing weren't just dreams. According to the'Werewolf Spiritual Insights Volume III'

*** Naomi's POV***-"I should have known, Owens' jovial little girl would be my son's mate. After all, he chose you for hisFirst ShiftBallopening dance. You were the reason for his smile after ten long thorny years. Perhaps coincidence, or maybe the mate bond working its wonders. The truth is, we all failed to see what was right in front of our eyes, and I hope you can accept my unfeigned apologies." Elijah's words make me blink hastily, trying to grasp what he just said.-"Elijah, please forgive me for my bluntness, but are you telling me Matthew and I first met seventeen years ago?" I question, presuming Matthew shifted when he turned eighteen, that would make me eight years old.-"Indeed, you did. Do you not recollect tha
