***Naomi's POV***
"You and Matthew need to be careful and trust no one but each other. I have already lost two loved ones. I can't lose both of you too."
Elijah's words stirred concern within me as I followed Elder Theo. What did he mean by trust no one? And who are the two loved ones he mentions? One for sure was his mate —Matthew's mother—but who is the second person? Does he mean Morris' father? Was Elijah warning me of Elder Theo? Doesn't he trust him? He was his second appointed Beta. It made no sense whatsoever.
So many questions and so little answers.
Elder Theo pulled a bundle of keys from his grey dressing trousers and opened a section of the Library I hadn't seen yet. I enter th

However, the amount of information we gathered about Yeti was concernedly little. Even more disquieting was the possibility of a thi
Luna’s Replacement 43 - SilverFalls Luna Ceremony Part 2
***Matthew's POV*** Alpha Lee and I had gone over the security details in case Naomi's father decides to confront his son or Rob hastily, and I am currently headed to check on my beautiful mate. Her outfit tonight is astounding, and it's not doing me any favors. Alex had been highly protective of her lately, and her dress tonight is just adding wood to his already raging fire. It's hard to hold him back as it is. Now it's even worse. Not to mention, when she unveiled her worries towards her newfound abilities, it had brought me this constant uneasiness. My senses tell me something terrible is about to happen, and I have no control over it. Being an Alpha makes me very controlling by nature, but I have no control whatsoever when it comes to Naomi. Leaving her alone had been very challenging. Call me overprotec
Luna’s Replacement 44 - The Alphas' Daughter
***Naomi's***My tears flow like an open tap. Artemis begged me to run back to our mate, but I refused. He needed to understand I am not to be taken for granted just because we marked each other. The grip on my dress tightens as I make my way through the trees. I have been running for ten minutes, and I am headed to my parents' cottage. The moonlight comes and goes as the clouds sail the dark sea of stars. My bare feet dig into the cold mossy ground from ditching my heels back in the packhouse as I push my empty shell closer to the warm yellow light, peeking through the vegetation branches in the distance.I halt my movement upon reaching the front door. My hand rises to knock but misses as it opens, revealing my aged Father; he hadn't lost his sharp senses. Stepping aside without a word, he signals

***Naomi's POV***My shocked state muffles down all my senses. People around me shout, yell, scream; however, this obnoxious ring is all I can hear. The warm red fluid drips down my hands as I apply pressure to Matt's chest wound as he protectively holds me against him. I try to understand what is going on, but the reality I am told is too much.-"She is dead because of you! You killed her." His words play loud and clear over the uproarious buzzing chatter.In the earlier hours of the morning, Luke and Jax found Morris and brought him back to his farmhouse retreat. Matt and I headed over the moment we heard he was back, but Morris launched at me as soon as I stepped through the front door threshold.
