Ch. 11..20

Chapter 11

It was a woman.

A...very...

Curvaceous woman. Part of her face was shielded by a hoodie so he couldn’t quite see her features clearly.

Kelvin suddenly growled a deep throaty growl and yelled within him.

"Mate!!!".

Daniel’s eyes widened and he did the otherwise, he stepped back instead; like he had been pushed. The woman on the other hand, stood still like she couldn’t move, her crystal blue eyes wide like saucers.

Crystal blue eyes.

He narrowed his eyes at the familiar color.

"Who are you?!". He yelled.

To his amusement, the woman sped off like lightning, bolting away like the fastest thing he had ever seen, so fast it was almost like he was hallucinating in her presence a while ago, amazing him.

"Go after her!!! That’s your damn mate and she must feel the bond too, that’s why she’s here. You scared her off you moron".

"She better be scared of me. I’m not going after her but I’m definitely rejecting her when next we meet. You can’t tell me what to do Kelvin. So deal with the fact that I don’t want to be bonded to a mate".

"You want to reject your mate?! Why? Because she’s a maid..an Omega?".

"I don’t NEED or WANT a mate Kelvin".

"I don’t know how you’re doing this but NO ONE can resist the mate bond; especially an Alpha".

Daniel smirked cruelly.

"Maybe I’m just different. Have been and ever will".

He could hear kelvin scoff and retreat to the back of his mind.

Shrugging off his encounter, he opened his suitcase to get out a towel.

As he made his way into his bathroom, those crystal clear blue eyes popped into his mind for a second.

Noami closed the door behind her and leaned against it with a heavy heart, panting like she had ran a marathon.

Her hoodie fell off, down to her neck line. Those crystal blue eyes of hers suddenly grew misty and she ran to get a face towel from her bathroom door, burying her face in it as she let out heartbreaking sobs.

She was actually looking for Marcy and had gone up to the Alpha’s floor. But she wasn’t prepared for what she saw.

Daniel. The little Daniel she knew ....the one with big earnest blue eyes, neatly trimmed black hair and a scrawny body frame was standing before her about to take off his shirt.

His eyes weren’t big and innocent as she remembered. They were narrowed, cold and sharp. His frame had changed. He had a lean masculine body. He looked so different. His hair, dressing, the way he had yelled at her with coldness in his eyes, it had hurt her.

She just hoped he wouldn’t recognize her.

Naomi decided later on, to go help in the kitchen. So she put on her hoodie to shield part of her face, before leaving the room.

"Mmm....dinner smells good". Daniel confessed as Marcy set a hot steaming plate of food before him.

"Bart.". Marcy announced with a warning tone when Barton began digging in , making sounds like an animal on the table.

Barton flashed her a toothy grin.

"Sorry mum. It’s just....your cooking tastes so good".

"Uh-huh". Marcy muttered, rolling her eyes but was actually pleased with their compliments.

Nathan was also at the table with his mate Sarah who made small talk with Daniel about his experience at Moon Howler’s pack.

Marcy took her place beside Daniel and smiled at him before getting her cutleries to dig in.

"Oh dear I forgot the salad". She pointed out, realizing Daniel loves to eat his food with a Salad on the side. They’d have the cake she baked for desert later but right now, a salad would be best to compliment the main food course.

A maid came by to drop off a jug of water at the table.

"Dear, please go into the kitchen and get me the bowl of salad". She requested and the maid bowed before leaving.

"So Daniel ...aren’t you excited about finding a mate after your Alpha ceremony". Sarah suddenly said, smiling at him.

Her smile was so big and genuine, Daniel could only clear his throat awkwardly, feeling all eyes on him at once .

"Mate?". He finally spoke up, shifting uncomfortably on his seat.

"Oh yes honey...that would be lovely. You’re still learning how to rule a pack so you’d need someone by your side to aid you in some specific areas". Marcy explained.

Daniel just nodded,

not saying anything. He could hear Kelvin scoff again.

Naomi was done with the dishes and was about going upstairs but suddenly, someone dropped something in her hands.

She looked down to see a bowl of salad.

"Take 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 to the dining room". The maid said, disdain in her eyes as she stared at the most beautiful maid present in the pack house who seemed to always gain favor from important people because of her domicile features while the rest of them were left in the shadows, their hate for her, growing.

Noami stuttered.

" I...I just finished washing the dishes".

"That’s not my problem". With that, the maid left her standing alone in the kitchen.

Noami sighed.

Daniel was at the dining. How was she going to do this.

She sighed again.

Readjusting the hood over her face, she grabbed the bowl with one hand, the other hand holding onto the side of the hood so it wouldn’t fall down.

The dining was noisy, filled with laughter and excited chatter when she came in.

Marcy didn’t even notice her as she laughed at something Sarah was saying.

Nathan was telling Daniel and Barton one of his encounter with a rogue when they were little.

Daniel would only smirked once In a while, his mouth moving slowly.

Suddenly the food in his mouth tasted like chocolate liqueur mixed with citrus. The scent was stronger this time.

He looked up instantly to see the ’Hoodie’ girl placing a bowl of salad just next to Marcy on the table.

"Thank you dear". Marcy absentmindedly patted her hand not looking up at who stood beside her, all her attention focused on Sarah.

Naomi planned it all out.

Go to the dining room. Place the bowl of salad down and rush off to her room without making eye contact with anyone.

However, when she suddenly felt someone’s gaze on her. , she turned and froze when she locked eyes with him again.

His fork and spoon in his hands hovering over plate, he narrowed his eyes at her.

"Your mate is literally standing less than a feet away and all you is just stare". Kelvin spoke with frustration. "Stop fighting the bond Daniel".

"Daniel honey. Are you okay". Marcy asked when she noticed he wasn’t eating.

Once his eyes moved away from hers , Noami rushed away immediately.

"I’m...fine..". He answered, quickly looking back up to see her run off to the kitchen.

His eyes fell on her curvaceous backside and his brows went up.

He gets up and everyone looks at him, pausing their conversation.

"I’ve got the salad dear. What’s wrong".

" Um...aunt...I’m..full. Thanks for the dinner but I’m really tired from today’s journey". He bent down and surprised her with a peck. "Good night everyone". He feigned a yawn and left.

Everyone exchanged glances.

Noami held the edge of the sink, her hoodie down her neck , her knuckles white , her heartbeat pulsating very fast.

Daniel suddenly walked into the kitchen at that moment and met with her back to him again but this time, her full back was in view, her shiny chestnut hair glittering under the soft glow of light in the kitchen.

"Why did you follow her here, huh? It only shows you’re attracted to her. No one can resist the mate bond". Kelvin said in a jeering tone.

"No one but me Kelvin".

"So what are you doing here". Kelvin suspiciously asked but Daniel just smirked.

Kelvin gasped.

"Don’t you dare. She’s your mate, you’d be hurting her and yourself".

But Daniel wasn’t paying attention anymore.

He slowly walked towards her.

"Hands up, turn slowly". He suddenly ordered in a deep voice.

She shook like she’d been electrocuted.

Daniel?

Why did he follow her here?

Oh-no

Her heart beat louder and Daniel could hear it ring in his ears.

"Are you defying me". He asked in a suspicious tone.

She shut her eyes tight and slowly raised her arms in the air, trembling.

 

Chapter 12

"I..I can’t". She whispered, arms trembling in the air.

He shrugged casually, an indifferent, cold look in his eyes.

"Why? Will I turn to stone or something".

"I just ...can’t". She deadpanned said, eyes shut tight.

Kelvin suddenly growled, trashing loudly in Daniel’s mind as her scent grew stronger; much to his limit.

"I don’t think she feels the bond...so sit still". He hissed at him under his breath and Kelvin reluctantly lay low.

"I can’t smell her wolf. I highly doubt she can shift".

"That explains it. Great. My mate’s a wolfless Omega". He muttered again.

Naomi slowly opened her eyes and blinked.

She couldn’t hear him clearly but he was definitely saying something. Was he talking to himself? Gosh? Was he a lunatic now?

If Marcy or any other person walked in, she wouldn’t want neither of them to find she and the Alpha In such a comprising situation.

As her eyes darted to and fro, she finally saw the kitchen switch next to the water faucet on the wall. Why hadn’t she thought of that¿

Daniel rolled his eyes at something Kelvin said and stretched his hand, just about to spin her around when Naomi moved like a fast slithering lizard.

She leaned over the sink and flicked the switch, rendering the whole kitchen completely null dark.

At that moment, he spinned her still and yanked her by her two wrists so that her body slammed hard against his leaving no barrier between them but the soft linen of their clothes.

Noami gasped, her heart beating fast and loud, so loud, it echoed in the Alpha’s ears, almost destroying his ear drums.

Her hott shaky breath fanned his face and he got aroused just by the scent of her.

Right now , he and Kelvin were torn between taking her right here and now and considering the fact that she was utterly scared and could scream at one misjudged move.

"Shhhhhhh". He placed one finger on his lips, his other hand, secured around both wrists of hers held up in the air before his face.

Noami pursed her lips and her eyes grew wide at the level of closeness between them. The only male she had ever gotten this close to was him but that was years ago.

When he didn’t have a hard broad chest or cold, piercing blue eyes. And when she definitely wasn’t bothered about revealing her identity to him.

Things had changed and things shouldn’t be the way it was anymore.

"Let go of me". She shout-whispered, glaring at him.

"Smart move". He was referring to the switch she just flicked. "I’m considering snapping your head off your neck". He slowly leaned in and she subconsciously closed her eyes, lips quivering as he said. "And since you’re wolfless, it will be easy. Like. Snapping. A. Toothpick".

He leaned back a bit, close enough to stare at her face, his breath stunning her when she realized how close he was.

She thanked the goddess for the pitch black darkness.

Werewolves had very sharp senses, almost ten times sharper than any creature. The darkness however was too thick and the moonlight which snuck its way past the cracks of the window granted him a view of her ruby red lips and her beautiful upturned crystal eyes.

Unblinking, she stared back in the silence of the room, almost like she was hypnotized by his eyes, unable to move a single part of her body, a single muscle.

The scent of her made his mouth water.

He was bent on rejecting her tonight and having his way in bed with her but this woman who wouldn’t even reveal so little as her face to him became the most interesting thing he had ever found.

The finger against his lips suddenly moved and landed on hers, his thumb sprawled on her lower lip.

Naomi’s eyes widened at his touched but for some some reason, she was too shocked to even move. She couldn’t even feel the same sparks that travelled up his fingers to his wrist when he made contact with her.

She gulped quietly, not daring to breath and watched him slowly take back his thumb, placing it in his mouth and suck on it, his eyes not leaving hers.

Her lips parted as they locked eyes again, his thumb soaking wet in his mouth.

However, that single act suddenly snapped her out of whatever daze she was held in and she moved reflexively, pushing her knee up to his groin very hard and fast.

"What the..!!!". He swore and cursed as he fell back on the kitchen slab, hands lowering to cup the throbbing pain between his legs.

"I’m sorry.. really...really sorry". She whispered, running off without a second thought.

"I would like to personally thank the moon goddess for the wonderful match she created for a Sponge brain like you...did you really think you could seduce someone like that one your first meeting? She’s special you moron. She’s not like those sluts you hang around with".

"Oh shutup Kelvin". Daniel hissed at him; with a groan.

He glared at the door which banged after her, different shades of blue swirling in his eyes.

Morning came. Naomi stood before the mirror, studying the mask she had on. It was midnight black with blue glowing sits for stars.

The mask was made to hide part of her face, starting from the bridge of her nose down to her jaw.

This would be perfect. A hoodie won’t guarantee her secret identity. She just hope he wouldn’t pester because of what happened last night.

Whatever happened last night was a mistake. Her face became surprisingly red and hot as the events of last night played out in her head like a movie.

Shaking her head, driving away the thoughts, she turned away from the mirror to get ready for the long day ahead.

Why would Daniel make a move on her like that..

Has he turned to such a man-whore?

Oh goodness. They would have kissed last night. Oh goodness. She unknowingly grabbed a fistful of the blankets and buried her face in it turning red again.

A knock on the door suddenly caught her off and all the color drained from her face as she dropped the blankets and headed for the door.

She held her mask in one hand and used the other to open the door without a second thought. Her eyes and jaw both dropped to the ground.

Marcy was smiling at her at the door, hands cupped Infront of her while Daniel stoof inches away from her looking at the expensive watch on his wrist with impatience and boredom.

Her eyes widened and her heartbeat pulsated faster than ever.

Daniel slightly inhaled, his nostrils wide open as that familiar scent wafted through his nose making his mouth water like the actual taste was at the tip of his tongue.

His wolf fought in the confines of his mind, his senses and power the only restraint keeping him in.

He looked up.

Chapter 13

Marcy didn’t seem to have a clue of what was going on. Perhaps she had forgotten all about keeping Naomi’s identity a secret, the excitement of going shopping with her nephew for the first time in a long time over riding her other thoughts.

Her eyebrows shot up and her warm smile slowly faded in worry as she stared at Naomi who stood still like a non-living object, looking at her nephew in shock, unmoving.

"Naomi....". She calmly called out, about to reach forward for her shoulder, probably to snap her out of her reverie. Her next move shocked her however.

Naomi turned around like a bolt!!!, backing the two just before Daniel glanced up at her.

Marcy had to step back at the sudden movement, blinking severally, forcing herself together before she fell apart at the shock of her slithering movements.

What was she doing

She heard her Nephew mutter some incoherent words and sigh in irritation.

"Honey, are you okay?". She asked softly, wondering what she was wearing in a haste.

"I’m fine aunt". Daniel heard her say In the small sweet voice of hers that could melt hot dark chocolate in his mouth.

She finally turned and her eyes locked with Marcy’s. Her lips parted in surprise and then realization of what she had done.

"I have a question aunt. Tons actually". He glanced at Marcy before glaring at Naomi who lowered her eyes to the ground.

Marcy hid her quivering lips by cupping her hand over her mouth , feigning a small cough.

"Is this really the right time".

"I will soon be made Alpha of the pack, I deserve to know every single person in the pack , especially". His eyes grew cold and their eyes locked before she cast her eyes down again. "If the person happens to live under the same roof with me".

Marcy cleared her throat.

"Daniel...honey she could have a reason , Okay?".

"I just think it’s stupid. Why can’t she reveal her face. She’s not as Interesting as she thinks".

"I never said that". She cut in harshly and kept mute when his cold eyes landed on hers again.

"So what’s up with wearing a mask or a hoodie ...are you a spy". He walked closer before Marcy could stop him but Naomi reflexively backed away, hands up, holding her mask. "Have you been sent from the rival pack to spy on us..Or are you a witch maybe. That could explain why you have no wolf. Tell me!!!". He yelled harshly, grabbing her arm so suddenly that she almost fell on her face.

She gasped and her skin burned HoT where his hand was placed and she almost melted into a puddle at his suspiciously narrowed blue eyes and piercing gaze. Her heart hurt at his accusations. Why was he so cold?

Marcy stepped in between them and Daniel backed away, rolling his eyes at her dramatic act of spreading her arms to part them.

"I swear Daniel....". Kelvin starts. "If you hurt her, I’ll retract to the back of your mind and neverrrr come out and you know what that means".

The young Alpha’s gaze fell on the arm he had held. It was so red and he had barely exerted any pressure on it. Gosh!! This girl was such a weakling. So fragile.

Then again, she did pull off a wonderful stunt yesterday by giving him a fatal blow in his area.

His expression darkened and he gritted his teeth at the memory. One way or the other, she was going to pay for that.

Marcy was panting hard and she stared at them with a complicated look. These two people glaring at each other were the most inseparable pair she had met back then. Life could really mess up the future.

"I will not tolerate such violence Daniel!!! I’ve known her my whole life. She’s been working here as a kid. She’s part of the pack and being wolfless doesn’t mean she could be another creature, do you understand?".

"A kid? But I never met her. The only person I knew working as kid back then was...".

His voice trailed off and Naomi’s eyes softened on seeing the pain that flickered in his eyes before it instantly grew cold again.

"Daniel". Marcy cut in when the atmosphere turned tensed. "We have a long day ahead of us and if I must remind you, your ceremony’s next tomorrow. We have just today and tomorrow to prepare".

"Then why are we here". He asked, looking around the small room with half closed eyes, boredom laced in his tone.

Marcy held Naomi’s arm and smiled at her.

"Come in Daniel". She said and walked inside the room, hands Infront of her, leaving Daniel and Naomi to stare at each other at the door.

He scoffed when he realized he was wasting his time just staring at her and made his way into the room, his shoulders brushing roughly against hers which caused her to back away.

She turned and silently glared at him.

He had not only become cold.

He’s such an arrogant, over bearing teenager.

She reluctantly made her to the pair and stood before Marcy who made herself comfortable on the edge of her bed while Daniel leaned against the wall, his foot holding his weight back from the wall, his arms folded in an arrogant gesture.

"You can’t just...put your foot against the wall. You’ll leave your dirty footprint there". She said irritably, pulling out a note pad and pen percording to Marcy’s Instruction.

"This is my house. I can do whatever I want". He replied nonchalantly.

Marcy sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose when another verbal argument ensued between the two.

"It’s my room".

"Your room..in my house. My room".

Her cheeks burned bright red with anger.

"You conceited over bearing...".

"What did you just say". He leaned forward, putting his leg and arms down, ready to come at her again, eyes flashing with hostility.

"That’s enough!!!". Marcy raised a hand, stopping him in his tracks. "Not another word from you two. Daniel it’s her room. You can’t come into my room and do whatever you like so you shouldn’t do the same in hers. Naomi..you are not to talk back to your Alpha". She glared at Daniel. "Irrespective of his actions".

Daniel walked to the window and backed them, arms fisted at his sides.

Marcy sighed and rolled her eyes.

"These are the list of things I’d like to buy today. So put them down. We need to make a big feast for the ceremony. Two more packs will be joining us for the Alpha naming ceremony. Alpha Justin of the Moon Howler’s pack and Alpha Koan of the Crescent Moon’s pack".

The notepad had a line drawn at the centre to differentiate the list of things to buy for the feast and the list of people coming for the ceremony.

Daniel rolled his eyes at the mention of Alpha Justin. His eyes did widen on hearing what his aunt said next.

"They won’t be coming alone. So I made sure I called. I want everything to be ready before they get here. Alpha Justin would be present with one of his wives,his mate, Luna Ciara and one of his daughters, Dora".

The name was like a bucket of ice cold water splashed on his head.

He turned and announced in a clear voice.

"No!!! She can’t come!".

 

Chapter 14

Naomi paused in the act of putting down a name and glanced up just as Marcy did.

"Excuse me. Who shouldn’t come?".

Daniel bit back his reply.

That ...that...

He gritted his teeth and fisted his hands much tighter by his sides, his knuckles turning white.

He knew what Alpha Justin was up to with his daughter. She had probably told him their ordeal and of course, the great and mighty Alpha had conspired and cooked up a plan, a plot to link the two of them together.

He scoffed inwardly.

Marcy and Naomi exchanged looks when all he did was to stare in space and scoff to himself.

"Is there a problem?". Marcy calmly asked, folding her arms.

"Not at all". Daniel calmly answered and turned away, leaving the pair in confusion again.

You want to play, Justin?

Sure, I’ll play your stupid game.

"The fourth floor’s exclusively for the Alpha, the third is for the Beta and Gamma and the second is for guest. There are Ten rooms on the second floor. What if the guests surpass ten members". Naomi explained, holding the pen above the notepad.

"Let me see. Okay put this down. Alpha Justin would obviously share a room with Luna Ciara. Dora would take a room. They’ll arrive with the head pack warrior, Lebanon. He’ll take a room...".

"That’s three rooms gone for the Moon Howler’s pack". Naomi confirms.

"Oh yes!!! Brittany would be coming too, along with Royce from the Blood Moon’s pack".

"Royce? As in her mate? Beta of the Blood Moon’s pack. Why is he coming". Daniel cut in.

"Don’t be rude Daniel...He’s your cousin’s mate".

"I don’t mind Brittany coming". He sighed and held the bridge of his nose. "I just feel that a lot of people are coming".

"You’re the soon-to-be Alpha. You should be used to hosting people, crowds even".

"Isn’t that...a woman’s job or something". He answered irritably.

"I mean if you showed a little interest in finding your mate, you’d leave that to your Luna". Marcy instigated with a raised brow.

"He has and he wants to reject her!! Gosh!! Such a stupid drama queen he is". Kelvin’s spoke and Daniel rolled his eyes.

Naomi couldn’t help but hide a giggle while looking down. The thought of Little Danny finding a mate is so cute and hilarious. She couldn’t wait for that moment too. But why isn’t he interested in finding his mate. So far, that’s the most beautiful experience in the life of a werewolf. Aside being able to shift.

Daniel narrowed his eyes at Noami hiding a smile. Why was she blushing? Did she know she was his mate??? Did she know how her scent was driving him crazy. Did she know how staying in an enclosed space like this was messing with his insides. He couldn’t even think straight and here she was...Smiling?!

He was torn between holding her against the bed and making her go crazy with his touch and want more of him.

"Royce would be coming with his sister, Talia and she’ll be coming with her best friend, Nancy, Alpha Henry’s daughter from the Ruby Stone’s pack...". Marcy points out for Naomi before Daniel cut in.

"Great!!! Why don’t we just invite the seven Packs to my ceremony. It’s not like I’ve found a mate. They’re announcing me as Alpha for Moon goddess’s sake".

"Daniel this ceremony is also as important as all other ceremonies. You should be grateful that so many people would be attending it. You can be able to build meaningful connections with Alpha Koan or...".

"I’m getting a drink". Daniel cut in and left the room.

"What’s up with him. Isn’t he happy about the ceremony". Naomi curiously inquired, brows raised, notepad, down.

"Naomi". Marcy sighed as she finally admitted. "Ever since he thought he lost you, he’s never been the same, okay? Life to him has been meaningless since the news of your death so I just look past the things he does because I know ...I know how it feels to loose someone you loved. You’d feel so lost and...". Marcy softly explains, her voice trialing off and Naomi cast her eyes down to her notepad, guilt destroying her heart to pieces.

This cold, distant person who doesn’t care about hurting people’s feelings was Daniel. She had made him this way.

It was all her fault.

She shut her eyes, blinking back the tears that pooled in her eyes.

"So..um...". She managed a smile while wiping her eyes. "That’s five room’s gone". She was willing to change the topic.

"Okay...Alpha Koan of the Crescent Moon’s pack would be coming with his Beta, Raiden".

"Seven room’s gone". She wrote down two more names as she said.

"Beta Raiden would arrive with his twin brothers, Jephthah and John".

"Nine rooms gone". She added two more names. "Wow. A lot of people are really coming".

"I know. They’re all coming in favor of the Late Alpha. The Shamon who would bless the conspicuous hour of the Alpha naming ceremony will also arrive. So he needs a room as well".

"Anyone else, aunt?".

"Stacey, Royce’s aunt would be joining us as well".

"Where would she stay. There’s no room left on this floor as well". Naomi pointed out.

Marcy thought for a while before saying,

"Okay...I don’t think Daniel would mind sharing his floor with Dora".

"Dora?". Naomi looked back at the list, with a curious look. "Alpha’s Justin’s daughter?".

"I visited them one time and learnt they were very close friends".

"Oh". Was all Naomi said. Her heart flinched in a way that hurt her Internally. It was as if the blood pumping ouy if her heart suddenly stopped.

Daniel’s father was right.

Of course Daniel was just a little kid. He’d replace someone like her without a thought . How could she have been so stupid to think he’d be miserable without her.

He was probably this moody because he had to leave Dora and come here.

"So she’ll be staying on the fourth floor with him".

Naomi stiffly put down the name and handed the list over.

Marcy glanced at it .

She nodded in satisfaction and gave it all back.

"Well you and I will have to go shopping for the food items tomorrow. I don’t think we’ll have time to do all that today because I’m taking Daniel for cloth shopping": Marcy explained.

"Okay aunt".

"We need a maid to go along with us Incase we need help with the shopping bags".

"The maids will be busy preparing the rooms for the guests’s arrival today". Naomi explained. "It’s possible the guest would arrive early the next morning or tonight even. So alot of dusting and cobweb removing would need to be done for all eleven rooms".

The house , especially the dining area, the main hall for receiving guests and the game rooms needed to be cleaned too.

"I’m sure we have enough maids to handle the cleaning for today". Daniel suddenly said and they turn to see him standing there crushing a can of soda and throwing it to the ground which Naomi frowned at. "And if the guests would be arriving tonight, we need enough stockpile of food which we don’t have at the moment. They would need snacks, drinks, refreshments before the main day".

Marcy nodded at his words in approval. Smart.

"So what do you suggest".

Daniel burped and smiled when he saw Naomi’s brows crease into a frown at his unmannerism. Her eyes however, grew wide when he jerked his jaw towards her .

"She’ll come along with us".

 

Chapter 15

"I have to inform the others about the guests coming and also inspect the cleaning and make sure everything’s done according to order. ". Naomi stammered at once, her hands dropping at her sides in perspiration.

"Honey but he’s right..". Marcy spoke up, turning to her.

"But aunt...". She started with a pleading tone and looked up to glare at Daniel only to cast her eyes down when he smirked at her. Why did her face feel so HoT just locking eyes with him.

"Not another word honey. We’re heading out. So get dressed. We also need to get you some new clothes. Your hips just keep growing and growing. I doubt anything would fit you later on". Marcy complained, already leaving the room.

Her last words struck a hot red color up her face especially when she felt Daniel’s gaze rake over her body.

His eyes obviously went to her slim fit tummy and tiny waist which accentuated down to her hour-glass figure hips.

"Stop looking at me like that". She snapped at him, already embarrassed to the point of feeling his gaze boil her face.

"I wasn’t". He snapped back, his pride not letting him admit the truth.

"Do you mind? I want to get dressed". She frowned at him. "Pick your squished up can and leave".

"Get dressed then. But I’m not moving from this spot". He said, brows raised, a ludicrous, mischievous smirk on his face when her lips parted in shock.

Cute. He thought.

She walked over to him, picking the can of soda on the ground.

"Pervert!!!". She threw the empty can at him and slammed the door on his face, not letting him recover from the shock of being called a ’pervert’.

He tried opening the door but she had locked it from the inside.

"I’m sooo getting you back for this". He announced.

"Look at you plotting revenge. Are you the soon-to-be Alpha or just some kid in an obnoxious teen’s body". She retorted.

His eyes turned bloodshot at her words. He gritted his teeth and held onto the door knob, exerting his anger on the silver handle which squeezed up like a ball.

He suddenly thought of something just as he was about to break through the door and tear her limb from limb.

An evil smirk latched on his face, he calmly leaves.

Naomi waited for a reply, a retort.. anything.

When it seemed like he was gone, she made her way to her wardrobe, casually taking off her mask.

She did not for once think of the consequences of what she had said to him.

Daniel bumped into Barton who was sweating buckets, on his way to his room.

"..Where were you?". Daniel asked , wrinkling his nose.

"I’ve been working out. I don’t just get this ripped muscles and rocky abs for nothing Cuz.".

"Cool". He simply replied, not in the least interested.

"You about to go somewhere".

"Shopping with aunt".

"Great!!! Can I come. Everyone’s going to be busy today and I’m just so bored staying in my room all day because....".

"No. It’s exclusive".

"What do you mean exclusive. What’s that supposed to mean!!!".

"I mean you can’t come because you’ll get in the way and you’ll probably go about looking for new chicks to bed".

"I guess I could join Nathan. He’s heading to the outskirts of the pack to scan the area for rogues. You know...since the guests are coming today and we want everything to be in top notch when they’re arriving".

"Whatever".

"I heard Brittany’s coming with her mate". He waggled his brows at him.

Daniel’s face , unchanged, he snorted.

"So?".

"He’s coming with his beautiful sister, Talia".

"I. Don’t . Care".

"You will; when you see her. Man. She’s HoT. She has like 9 million followers on Instagram and just 1 following. She was a model in France before she travelled back here to stay with her family".

"Are you suggesting she’d be my mate or something". His expression was blank, eyes unblinking as he said.

"What?". Barton chuckled. "Like I’d want that to happen. I’m just calling dibs on her dude. Incase you get infatuated with her curves or something".

"Believe me Bart. Me getting infatuated with anyone will be the least of your worries". He sounded quite bored, like the idea of women didn’t interest him anymore.

Suddenly Barton reached out and stuck him just below his belt.

"Bart.!!! What is wrong with you". Daniel snapped, backing away with his eyes dangerously wide open.

Barton snorted.

"I thought you’ve lost it or something".

"Why would you think that".

"You don’t sound like you’d enjoy the company of beautiful women tonight".

"That’s not what’s on my mind now, okay? If I see a beautiful woman tonight and she’s willing, we’d fuck. Happy now?".

"EXCEPT Talia". Barton reminded him.

"Whatever".

"I’m serious Man. She’s mine tonight".

"Who’s yours tonight".

The two boys jumped on seeing Marcy staring at them with narrowed eyes.

"Mum". Barton stammered. "I was just telling Daniel about uh...Daniel what was I telling you about".

"That you smell like a wet pig and you need a shower". Daniel pointed out.

"I’ll inform the maids about the rooms and I’ll join you outside aunt". Naomi said, coming downstairs while brushing her hair back with her hand.

She suddenly looked up and locked eyes with Daniel. Barton found the perfect moment to run upstairs so he wouldn’t have to talk to his mother about what he just said.

"Okay honey. Common Daniel". She grabs Daniel by the arm and pulls him away, the scent of her fading away as he followed his aunt outside.

Exercising a little more patience, Naomj watched the pair leave, his narrowed eyes exuding suspicion and coldness.

In no time, A pack warrior was driving the three out of the premises of the Alpha’s mansion into the streets.

Naomi could literally feel her heart beating fast, almost close to falling out her mouth when Daniel had to sit beside her throughout the entire car ride.

Marcy was seated on the Passenger’s and was too engrossed in making small talks with the driver that she forgot about the two at the back.

"I don’t know why you keep staring at me like that but it’s annoying". Her eyes pacing to and fro on the ground , her lips quivering, she said with the utmost difficulty, resisting the urge to glare at him.

"You don’t own my eyes. I can stare and.. ". He reached out and suddenly landed a hand on her bare knee. "...touch whatever I want".

Woow. Her skin was so soft.

Naturally, she smacked the hand hard and he withdrew it, drawing back his hand like a snake recoiling from being hit with something sizling hot.

"You make it sound like I’m an object".

"Do you think you’re far more than that".

"Why do you think so? Is it because I am an Omega ...a wolf of low rank or because I happened to be a wolfless maid serving under you".

"Because I am the Alpha".

"Soon-to-be Alpha". She muttered, turning away but her words didn’t go unheard by the nosy teenager.

He parted his lips, ready to deliver a retort when his aunt cut in.

"We’ve arrived!!!".

He reluctantly looked out the window and his half closed eyes, laced with boredom and annoyance gradually grew wide when he saw the familiar school building before him, towering high and tall bearing about 10 storey-buildings.

Dark Risers’s Academy High school

Thank you so much for the review guys!!! Muah! Muah!!!

 

Chapter 16

The process was simply planned out.

Aunt Marcy guides Daniel through the school registration process while Naomi goes across the road; to the supermart, to get the food items.

After which, they’d meet together at the car who’d arrive in time to take them to the mall to shop for Daniel’s clothes and etc.

Kelvin howled in distress as the thought of being separated from his mate.

"Oh shutup". Daniel sighed, his pride not letting him admit he felt the same way as well.

His half-closed eyes raked over the tall school building in boredom, his cold blue orbs exuding a very dangerous aura which was hard to go unnotice by the students lingering in the hallway when they walked by.

As they meandered across the hallway, he noticed Marcy had a worried look on her face while glancing over a piece of paper in her hands.

"What’s wrong. Did we walk into the wrong school".

He was hoping she’d say ’Yes’.

"I just can’t find my way around the school map. I’m looking for principal’s office".

Daniel sighed.

"Using maps are so old-fashioned aunt".

"Well excuse me for not knowing what’s old-fashioned and what’s not".

A guy happened to pass by, on his way to class.

"Hey". Daniel called out and he turned. His eyes widened on recognizing Marcy and he stopped slouching and stood straight. "Do you mind showing us the principal’s office".

"It’s upstairs. Two doors to the left. I’m sorry but I’m late for class". With that, he dashed off, dropping his wallet in the process.

Daniel rolled his eyes, bending to pick the leather wallet.

"Daniel you shouldn’t take things that aren’t yours". Marcy pointed out once Daniel opened the wallet to peek.

Aside some cash, an ID and what looked like some drug?!, there wasn’t much in it worth taking.

He put it in his pocket.

"I’ll give him back if I do see him. I don’t know what he’s so nervous about by the way".

"Maybe he recognizes you". Marcy muttered.

"What did you say aunt".

"Nothing". She quickly said. "Let’s go. The registration would take a few minutes and we’d go shopping".

Narrowing his eyes at his aunt who sauntered across the hallways and bolted for the stairs, he finally moved.

Daniel reluctantly shook Principal Matthew’s hands while maintaining a forced smile.

"I must say Mrs., Your Nephew’s such a fine lad. Quite smart too. I reviewed his statics and resume from his last school at Moom Howler’s prime academy and believe me , he’s doing really well. We need brains like this in this school of ours".

Marcy beamed proudly, almost huffing with pride.

"Thank you so much Mr. Mathews". She affirmed with a broad smile.

He sat back down, pushing back his tortoise-shelled glasses as he wrote down a few things on a piece of paper.

Marcy reached out and took it when he offered it to her.

"Those are the list of things he needs for the school year. He’ll come back here tomorrow for the items at the bursar’s office".

"Can’t he just come by next week. His Alpha’s naming ceremony is this week so he’ll be very busy Mr. Matthews". Marcy explained, putting the paper in her bag.

Daniel began slouching but once he remembered Marcy’s words earlier, he straightened up, retaining his forced smile.

He wouldn’t want to be taken to the barber’s shop at all. It was bad enough she was going to be picking his clothings.

"Of course!!!". The man’s voice was so loud, the young boy almost fell back. "The ceremony is very important. My daughter and I wouldn’t miss it for the world".

Gamma Matthew had a daughter?

"Of course". Marcy replied in the same cheerful tone. She turned to Daniel. "Daniel Honey. His daughter is also in the same school and she’s in her sophomore year as well".

Daniel stuttered, not sure of what to say.

"That’s great. Wonderful news".

"I’d call her up for introductions but she should be in class by now. I can’t wait to see you again Alpha Daniel. Have a great weekend!!".

Daniel reached over and they shook hands again.

"Thank you. You too sir".

After much exchanged pleasantries, the duo left the office.

They were outside the school’s premises and their driver was yet to drive in. Marcy made a quick call to Naomi while Daniel took in the breathtaking view of the school building.

The surrounding was deserted except for several pickup trucks and posh cars belonging to students. There was a lush garden in the compound as well. But they didn’t interest him as much as a student who was climbing down a rope connected to the top floor; on a window.

Marcy was back-faced to the school, engrossed in the call, not noticing when Daniel throdded forward, his sharp blue eyes taking in a girl who was crawling down a long rope which stopped a few centimeres from the ground.

Interested in what the beautiful blonde was up to, he strolled over, glancing behind him once in a while to be sure Marcy had not noticed his absence.

On getting to the end point of the thick rope, she hopped down, dropping on both hands and legs, a mass of hair falling over her face.

"That was some jump..". Someone suddenly spoke up.

Oh-no!! Had she been caught sneaking out again.

She leaped up, her hair bouncing behind her, her arms poised, ready to defend herself.

She however dropped them, her lips parted in an ’o’ shape on locking eyes with the most dreamy blue orbs she had ever come across.

Naturally, her eyes travelled downwards, taking note of the impressive body frame and long strong legs, down to Louis Vuitton new edition shoes. Her gaze travelled back upwards, taking in the breathtaking view of his handsomeness. The perfectly sculpted face. Those dreamy metallic blue colored eyes that trapped her brown orbs in them. It was almost as if, her eyes were attracted to his. She couldn’t just keep her eyes off his.

"Are you done". He finally tore through the silence, hands casually buried in his pockets.

She shook her head, closing her eyes before finally opening them again on realizing he wasn’t who she expected to be.

"Who are you".

It wasn’t surprising that not a lot of people knew the new Alpha by just his features. Things would definitely change after the ceremony.

But for now, he’d rather enjoy the feeling of liberty of not being know.

"I’m Daniel". He calmly replied, locking gazes with her which he intentionally did to drive her out of comfort.

He looked back up at the rope which was dangling still.

"Won’t you get caught if a student or teacher eventually finds this".

"I would be far gone into the other side".

"Other...side?".

A perfectly sculpted brow was raised.

"As in where the humans stay? Don’t you know that?".

"Uh...".

She finally took in a sharp breath and released it shakily, raising her arms to readjust her hair.

He noticed she had a big bag hung across her shoulders. It looked heavy.

"Are you a student here. I’ve never seen you in the pack". She said, hands on hips, impatiency in her eyes.

Daniel looked back in time to see Marcy looking around like she was looking for someone...and that someone was him. Their ride wasn’t here yet. Did she expect them to walk to the mall??!

"Is that your mummy". The girl asked, a taunting smile playing on her lips. "You should crawl back to her before she gets a heart attack".

Apparently she didn’t recognize Marcy from afar. She’d have realized Daniel wasn’t someone to mess with.

Daniel frowned at her words and his heart thumped in anger at her teasing smile and the taunting smirk glittering in her eyes.

"You know..you really should be careful what you say especially to people you don’t know".

"Save it". She cut in, readjusting the bag around her neck. "I’m off so if you can keep what just happened a little secret between us, that’d be great". Without sparing him a glance, she turned to dash off when she noticed he was trailing after her.

She turned abruptly and he almost crashed into her.

"What do you want???".

 

Chapter 17

"Take me along with you and maybe I won’t tell the Principal what I just saw". Daniel said, a smirk playing on his lips when he saw a tinge of fear flash in her eyes at the mention of the principal.

She suddenly glared at him, her brown eyes, glacy like ice.

"How do you know the principal of this school? Are you even a student here??".

"Will be by next week". He noticed her frown deepen. "That doesn’t matter. I’m bored and I’m kind of interested in heading to whatever place you’re sneaking off to".

"For someone who has probably never seen the ’Other side’". She stuck out her lip in a teasing smile which infuriated him, "I wouldn’t want you to get lost and make your mummy worry about you".

His phone began to ring before he could retort.

Aunt Marcy was calling.

He placed his phone In his pocket only to look up and notice the girl had disappeared.

"Son of a ....".

His sharp eyesight grants him the privilege of sighting her from afar, heading across the road, downtown.

Without a thought, his legs moved across the road, not minding the several car horns and hurled insults from both sides.

The wind got in his hair and his heart thumped with excitement as he ran. It felt like he was exhaling something off his chest which had been laying like a heavy weight.

He followed the blonde from afar till she stopped Infront of a coffee shop after 20 minutes or running. He fell in place beside her.

"You sneak out of school just to drink coffee?". He asked and she snapped her head towards him, her hair bouncing along with her head movements.

"You followed me?". It was more of a statement but a question as well. She sounded breathless; from the run maybe and the sweat running down the sides of her face got her looking attractive than she already is.

Her chest heaved up and down as she slowly glared at him, narrowing her eyes.

"I’m beginning to have my suspicion on you. Why are you interested in me all of a sudden. Don’t you have a water bottle to finish or some bedtime story session to get to? It’s almost 6pm".

"I’m not interested in you. I’m just bored, that’s all. And can you quit with the teasing, I’m obviously older that you".

She sighed and just narrowed her eyes at him. This time not suspiciously but to confirm one more thing.

"You sure you’re not just some snitchy pervert who’d get me in trouble later in at school".

"What am I, 5? I don’t care what happens after this, I just want to get out of shopping today".

"Whatever. Just wait out here, I’ll be out in a moment". With that, she got in, not letting him say another word.

Brows raised, he wondered where she was headed to?

The girl looked cool and had this rebel attitude that he just liked. Right from when he saw her climbing down those ropes, he knew she’d be one of those detention attendants who did whatever they wanted and didn’t care about anyone’s opinions.

He just hoped he didn’t waste his time following her here. He wasn’t even sure where he was exactly. He hid in the shadows hoping no one from the pack would recognize him as the Alpha’s son, not knowing he had long left the pack and was in the OTHER SIDE.

Marcy sighed heavily when the call went through and he didn’t pick up again.

"Aunt please calm down. He’s not a kid. He probably strolled away on his own". Naomi tried to assure her.

The driver was busy, helping Naomi put in the food items in the car while the two women stood just at the entrance of the school premises, pacing about as Marcy called Daniel for the nth time.

"I swear if I find him, I’d...". Marcy suddenly broke down.

Naomi held her in an embrace.

"Aunt, Daniel’s okay. Trust me on this, okay? We can try going around the town to look for him but eventually we have to go home and receive the guests".

"He knows how much his naming ceremony means to me and everyone in the pack house. I just turned my back on him to make a phone call. How could he have possibly disappeared".

Naomi could only bite her lip in deep thought. Where could he have possibly gone to.

"Aunt, you can try checking around the school premises again".

"We’ve gone around the school so many times. It’s like he just vanished. Oh Naomi. What if something’s happened to him...". She began to panic.

Naomi racked her brain for a plan.

"Okay...I’d take a taxi and go into town to look for him while you drive down home to receive the visitors. I’d inform you if I’ve found him, okay, aunt?".

Aunt Marcy thought about the idea before she finally gave in.

She hugged Naomi. It was late at night and dangerous for a young woman her age to be out so late but it was more dangerous for her as someone from a Beta’s bloodline who was prey for the rogues.

"Be careful dear, please. And don’t stay up all night. If you can’t find him, please come home as soon as possible". She fondly held her cheek like she was holding her daughter’s.

Noami held the hand holding her cheek as well.

"Of course aunt".

Daniel paced about for a while, already feeling bored when the bell rang on the coffee shop door, opening.

He looked up, stunned immediately as she appeared before him.

If it weren’t for the familiar bouncy blonde hair and icy brown eyesz he wouldn’t have recognized her.

She was wearing a hoodie and matching pants earlier with sneakers but the blonde before him had totally transformed to some goddess.

Her lips was painted bright red, the color so attractive, he was drawn to her lips as he took her appearance in.

She was putting on 5-inch stiletto heels which gained her some inches up his shoulders.

Her leather made bustier was shiny black to match the same leather mini skirt. It was so shirt her bum could be exposed at the slightest bow.

Her make up was light, only to lighten her sharp features. The only jewelry she had on was a few bangles and that was it.

She was a combination of goth and ecstacy.

"Beautiful...". He muttered under his breath, his eyes never leaving her body.

She was feeling a bit insecure about her outfit and was about going in to rechange, but on hearing that one word escape from his lips, she froze.

A smile finally made its way to her lips. With confidence, she sauntered over to him, bodly locking eyes with him.

Two fingers crawled up his arm to his chest in a seductive slow style causing his breath to hitch up at his throat.

"Just beautiful?".

"I’m seeing beautiful. I’d like to see what more you can do than just stand there looking pretty". He countered, smirking seductively at her.

Her heart thumped with something like desire at the sexy smirk plastered on his face like a erotic tattoo to turn her on.

"Follow me then".

 

Chapter 18

"Isn’t this the OTHER SIDE". Naomi calmly asked the taxi driver who was a Werewolf.

She hadn’t seen any part of this side but she had heard so much about the place from her fellow Omegas back in the kitchen.

The taxi driver didn’t turn but answered patiently.

"You said ’out of town’ miss. This is the next town which happens to be after the last one at the pack just after Dark Risers’s Academy. That’s why there’s a variety of humans and werewolves at the school because it’s in between the werewolf territory and the human land".

Naomi thought. ’Could he have come here?’.

She was about to tell the taxi driver to go back but she froze when she saw a familiar black haired teenage boy getting into a car with a blonde who looked like she belonged on the streets.

Her eyes darkened at the flirty smile they threw at each other as they got in.

Aunt Marcy was worried to death about his whereabouts and he was intent on going after girls and it’s been barely a day here in the pack.

"Mr., Please follow that taxi...the red one please". Naomi said, pointing at a red taxi who was took a North-west wing.

The taxi driver dutifully nodded and followed the taxi.

So far the only werewolves present in the human town was the taxi driver, Naomi, Daniel and the belle blonde.

In the other taxi, Daniel glanced at his phone to see 35 missed calls from Aunt Marcy and an unknown number which he hadn’t saved.

He planned on sending a text to his aunt to let him know he was safe but when the blonde turned and announced their arrival, he placed his phone in his pocket and looked out the window with interest and curiosity flashing in his eyes.

He took everything in.

It was a club. It had about three floors and a synthetic black colored roof blended with bright obsidian white.

The sign ’6_9 Night out club’ shone in bright neon lights causing him to blink several times to adjust to the colors.

There was a long queue lined up at the entrance of the building, a bouncer at the door, holding up a long list which he stared at with a stony face.

His expression was so cold, the aura exuding from him was hard not to notice by the queue who maintained orderliness amongst themselves to avoid a blow in the face or a punch to the guts.

"Come on". The blonde urged him, grabbing his arms and linking her hand through it.

He reluctantly followed her, noticing the eyes of everyone on the queue on them as she bodly led them towards the Stony faced bouncer.

"What do you think you’re doing". He shout-whispered when he noticed she was cutting through the line, making her way to the entrance without standing with them.

To his surprise, the bouncer only took one glance at her face and let her in, eyeing him suspiciously.

"He’s with me Rico. A friend of mine". She hurriedly explained when the bouncer barred the way on spotting him. He let them through after a while of scrutinizing him and shut the door after them.

They had to go through a narrow room before heading to the main clubhouse.

"Why can’t we just go clubbing back at the pack and.. how come they let you in without an Invitation".

"We can discuss everything over a drink. By the way, you’re buying the first shot". She bit her lower lip and winked at him.

Resisting the urge to bite her lips, he followed her into the main clubhouse.

"I don’t mind the fact that you’re actually clubbing in a restricted area. But the fact that, you left your mate hanging to actually hang out with this sl*t..". Kelvin suddenly said, his tone sounding really disappointing.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m just having fun". Daniel stated, his eyes moving across the club. He took In the crowd of people dancing (all humans). Some were relishing the moment, stuffing their faces with food. The bar was filled as well.

As they moved past the dance floor, sauntering past different people, his sharp senses picked up scents of different perfumes and sweat mixed with love juices, he noticed not everyone was ’just’ dancing on the dance floor.

The entire clubhouse was pitch dark but for the disco ball which stood solely as the only light source in the dark room, throwing shades of different colors around the room.

His sharp eyesight let him see through though but didn’t prevent people from bumping into him once in a while.

"Come on". The blonde said again, clearly in a good mood as she dragged him into the bar. "Let’s get drunk".

"Okay". He said, half-amused at her cheerful mood. "Hey. I don’t even know your name".

She turned back and their eyes locked.

"Kiara". She answered, turning away.

He caught sight of a woman trapped against the wall by a man who crawled down her body, his lips closed over her naked breasts.

Her lips was parted In ecstacy, her head thrown back on the wall as those sharp nails of hers caressed his mass of brown thick hair.

His gaze lingered on them till the woman looked up and their eyes locked. She suddenly smiled at him, her hand slowly moving to her other breasts to fondle her hardened nipple soaked with the man’s juices. Desire and lust were purely written in her eyes.

He looked away when he realized he was staring for too long and had been bumping into people.

A woman suddenly screamed and ran past him, hitting his shoulder in the process.

He turned to see big men, twice his size, dressed in black, run after her and grab her by her arms and legs before she could escape.

A typical scenario. Only a few on-lookers stared as they took away and resumed partying.

Kiara barely turned to glance at the woman.

They finally made it to the bar and got to sit at the counter.

It wasn’t a surprise Naomi gained access into the club. The hard-hearted bouncer at the entrance could not resist her domicile features and pitiful expressions especially when she had mentioned finding her little brother. The cute little mask she had on made her huge eyes look very wistful and heart breaking.

Though one thing he couldn’t assure himself was her leaving the club in one piece. She looked like she didn’t even belong there and had never seen the headlights of a club before.

She literally stood out of place such that she gained curious stares from several people in the clubhouse who wondered what she was up to.

Some let her be but apparently some couldn’t just resist her innocence.

 

Chapter 19

"What do you think you’re doing!!!". Daniel asked in panic as she bent back, gulping down the contents of ’her concoction’.

She slammed the tumbler down on the bar table and grinned at him, turning to mix the drinks again.

She had ordered liquor, tequila, barcadi and lemon juice and was mixing them into her cup while Daniel sipped his wine, watching her in amusement.

"Humans". She scoffed. "Their drinks are so bland. Just one shot of this can kill them but this Only makes us drunk". She raised the cup in the air before gulping it down.

"Don’t you think you should go easy on it. You want to go back home in one piece, right?". He worriedly said when it looked like she wasn’t going to stop.

"We’re heading for the dancefloor after!!! I came here to party. Not worry about going home". She chuckled. Her words were slurred and her eyes were lazily half-closed, the icy glacier in her eyes had melted into a puddle.

She suddenly dropped the cup and leaned close to him.

Naturally he backed away, looking around to notice not a single person cared what was going on between them.

He scented a strong scent of alcohol and looked back down on her gorgeous face.

Kiara’s hands were placed on his knees as she leaned closer to his face, her eyes lowered, her lips parted in full arousal.

"Your lips...". She whispered, her hot breath fanning his face.

"What about my lips". He leaned closer, a brow raised on his face .

"There’s something there..". She drunkly stated, falling against him with a chuckle.

"Where". He asked, holding onto her arms to support her against his body, all the way, leaning closer.

"There ..here...no there....". This continued for several seconds till they burst out laughing.

As their laughter died down, they suddenly locked eyes.

"I won’t say I’m in love with you but I won’t say I hate you either". She crawled up his body and was suddenly straddling him, her fingers tracing his sculpted face. "But guess what?".

"What?". His voice was almost a hushed whisper, his groin hardening as she slowly grinded against him, her mini-skirt hitched up to her thighs, her bare core against his hardened ember. She wasn’t even wearing underwear.

He hissed and sucked in a mouthful of sharp air, grabbing onto her waist to support her.

"I’m more horny than you can ever think of and it’s all because of you. You’re so hot and I want you all to myself tonight". She confessed shamelessly, placing her arms on his shoulders while increasing her pace.

"F**k". He winced at the sharp pain of arousal. Without a thought, he grabbed her by the back of her neck and slammed her lips on his.

"Mmm". She softly moaned, curling her arms around his neck, not expecting him to actually make a move after all these time.

He expertly bit down on her lower lip and she gasped at the slight pain, opening her mouth in the process. He took the invitation and invaded her mouth with his hot tongue to curl it around hers.

They shamelessly made out and not a single person in the bar or club cared. They were too lost in their own carnal pleasures to care.

No one except Naomi of course. She walked in on the two making out like hell was let loose.

Irritation and anger swelled up in her mind and heart. You could almost imagine the striking bolts dancing in her eyes as she stared at the shameless drunk pair.

Suddenly it was like, the presence of Kiara irritated him, bit his skin in the wrong way and caused his ember to fall limb.

The steamy kiss felt bland and turned his insides in a bad way.

That familiar scent of citrus and chocolate liqueur flowed through his nostrils and he pulled away , looking up sharply.

His eyes locked with Naomi.

Standing out amongst the sluts and riffraffs clubbing hard, she looked like a gentle angel. Much couldn’t be said for her eyes though.

They looked like they were about bringing a rainstrom to the clubhouse.

He jerkingly moved uncomfortably just as she began leaving with an angry expression. Kiara gasped as she almost dropped on the floor.

She successful dropped on her heels and held onto her chair to steady her trembling body.

"What the heck". She angrily demanded , glaring at him, her words slurred by her drunken state.

But Daniel wasn’t listening anymore, he was prepared to find Naomi before he lost sight of her.

"If anything happens to her , I won’t forgive you. You’re not Worth forgiving anyway. You led her here and you know that. She’s crazy about the bond and can’t let go of you but what does she come to find. Her mate Making out with some slut".

Kelvin harshly said as Daniel scanned the clubhouse for Naomi using her scent.

He had completely forgotten about Kiara who was staggering on the floor, looking for him as well.

Naomi was boiling in rage as she tried to contact Aunt Marcy. She was probably dying in worry over her nephew’s dissappearance. That smart nephew of hers had actually ditched her to come to the other side to club with a stranger.

Her hand shook as she trembled in anger, her fingers typing on some numbers.

However when she felt someone’s prescence looming over her, she looked up to see a man. He looked twice her height, good-looking but he didn’t come to her with good intentions. It was obvious by the pure lust dancing in his obsidian black eyes.

"Excuse me". She said shakily, moving past him to leave but he grabbed her wrists and pulled her so that she slammed against the wall, her phone dropping to the floor.

She winced when her head brushed hard against the wall. Before she could recover however, the man cornered her.

"Is this yours". He asked, handing her her phone with a mocking smile on his lips, his gaze raking over her body, scrutinizing her sumptuous curves which made his senses roll and spin; out along with the alcohol he had consumed.

"You seem lost. I may be of help". He pestered, enjoying the look of fear on her face as she pushed her phone back into her pocket.

"I.. I’m fine. If you’ll just...".

"No". He placed a hand on one side of her head and she leaned back, heart thumping hard against her rib cage. "I’m sure you seem lost and you need help but you’re not sure what you need".

"I just want to leave, please". She pleaded in a scared tone, struggling to leave only to get thrown back to the wall.

"Wrong". He slides a finger across her face and she looked to the side in disgust. "You need company and I’m here to offer myself to you. Come on baby. Drop the act and let’s have fun". He suddenly grabbed her thighs and she screamed with tears running down her face when he began forcing his face down her throat, running his tongue over her neck like she was some delicious creamy yogurt he was ready to gobble up.

She pushed hard at his chest and he eventually staggered back.

Her heart heaving in her chest, she leaned away from the wall wondering how she could have pushed him off her but on seeing Daniel glaring at the man with stone-cold eyes, she knew he had him pulled away.

"That’s the man that tried to hurt our mate. Teach him a lesson!!". Kelvin jeered within.

Daniel cracked his knuckles while a small crowd of people began gathering.

"Could you repeat what you were just doing to her ight now?".

"Who do you think you are". The man growled in anger, angry from being shoved back like he was a toy by a teenage boy.

He strode towards him, ready to teach him a lesson and Daniel suddenly threw a punch at him.

 

Chapter 20

Everyone gasped at the incredious sight of a teenage boy knocking down a bulky man of 7 feet to the ground.

Blood gushed down his mouth, down his jaw and neck with just one fall and he passed out.

Naomi turned pale white on seeing such a horrific scene. But before she could recover, Daniel grabbed her by the hand and dragged her out the club.

Once they were outside, Naomi released her hand from his grip and ran to a discreet place to vomit.

Her shoulders shook violently and tears rushed down her eyes as she let everything out her system while holding onto the wall for support.

"Would you stop overreacting and let’s go already". Daniel sighed when she wouldn’t stop crying.

She turned to him.

"You think I’m overreacting?? You just killed someone!!".

"I didn’t..". He sighed when she shrank back under his tone. His voice softened a bit. "I didn’t kill him, okay? He’s just unconscious".

"There was so much blood". She exclaimed, shaking hard.

"I just punched him too hard".

"Do you always have to resort to Violence".

"Yeah.. I should have just let him f**k you. I’m sure you enjoyed his touch, didn’t you". He yelled at her and realized what he had said on seeing the hurt, confused look in her eyes .

She turned and began walking away.

He sighed and ran after her.

He would grab her arm but she would slap it away with a hurt look.

After the nth time, he suddenly grabbed her and pushed her to a wall, cornering her like the man had done.

Her pupils dilated In fear and anger when he cornered her but her lips parted in surprise when he leaned close, letting her feel his hot ragged breath against her face.

"Do you know how mad I was when I saw someone else touching what was mine. Do you know how crazy you’re making me right now?!!! Do you know how badly I want to take you right here, right now?? You’re driving me crazy all I think about is you, you, you. I.....".

A horn interrupted them but Daniel looked back while Naomi kept staring at him in shock.

It was the taxi driver that had dropped Naomi off.

"I’m driving back to town, Miss". He called out to Naomi, (his eyes widening upon seeing Daniel), who wasn’t hearing a thing anymore, trying to process what Daniel just confessed to her. Her face felt incrediously hot and her eyes were as wide as saucers.

"W...what did you say". She whispered in a hushed voice, so low she wasn’t sure she heard herself much more him, hearing her.

"We’re leaving". He sternly said and grabbed her hand, pulling her towards the taxi.

She let him drag her like she was in a trance but couldn’t keep her eyes off him even as they sat side by side in the taxi.

He ignored her throughout the entire journey back home.

"Where exactly am I headed". The driver asked.

"Make a stop at the Alpha’s mansion. We’ll walk home from there". Daniel replied, not wanting to reveal they were living in the Alpha’s mansion.

The driver dutifully did so and after he had payed him some money from his wallet, the driver drove off, bidding goodbye to Naomi who politely returned his pleasantries with a lost look in her eyes.

Once the taxi drove away in a certain distance, Daniel and Naomi quietly walked towards the gates.

The silence was so uncomfortable, Naomi had to walk ahead of him.

"I don’t know why you’re mad at me". He pointed out, fastening his pace to meet up with her.

She kept mute, all the while steadying her heart beat.

Once they made their way through the gates, they went past the garage to the backyard.

Daniel noted all the unfamiliar new vehicles parked along with his late father’s car.

They were here.

For some reason, he was glad he wasn’t present to receive them earlier.

Everywhere was dark but for some rooms which had their lights left on, some dimmed.

"Everyone’s probably asleep so don’t make a single noise". Naomi finally spoke up.

"I’m not a child". He reminded her in the same hushed whisper closing the door behind them not realizing when he bumped against her back.

Naomi froze, shocked when she felt his hardness against her.

Daniel froze as well, hanging onto the door knob for dear life while biting his lower lip all the while struggling to control Kelvin who was forcing his inner existence to devour her.

The kitchen was quiet but for the two.

"What have you got there". Naomi asked, turning to glance at him.

"What?". He whispered back.

"That hard thing". She confirmed, looking so cute and vulnerable, he just wanted to kiss right now. "It was poking me. Was that your phone or something".

His jaw dropped.

His phone?

Naomi glanced around in the kitchen.

"I’d better inform Aunt Marcy we’re at home so she wouldn’t get more worried". She muttered to herself.

But Daniel had other things going on in his mind. He suddenly grabbed her and pulled her close so that their body slammed against each other leaving her gasping for breath.

"What if I said I had a boner because of you and I’m so horny right now, I wish I could f**k you right here on this kitchen table". He told her plain and direct to her face, jaw lowered to his chest, eyes looking so deeply Into hers it was like looking into her very soul.

She leaned back with quivering lips as she said.

"You’re hungry?".

He blinked for a while getting a total turn off from her words.

"No..I said horny. I...". He stopped talking when he saw the confused expression in her eyes.

’You’ve got to be kidding me’. He thought when he saw that lost unwavering look in her eyes.

Naomi suddenly backed away, concluding Daniel was acting strange.

"I can’t just sneak about the kitchen for some food. It’s Late at night and someone might hear. I suggest we go to our rooms till tomorrow. At least now you’d learn not to leave your aunt behind, Leaving her so worried".

He sighed and leaned away, feeling speechless at what just happened now. She wasn’t acting or pretending that she couldn’t hear him, she was just so clueless and couldn’t understand him.

She couldn’t be that naïve could she.

They snuck out of the kitchen and began heading upstairs.

Once they got up to the Beta’s floor, Daniel made his way up when he suddenly saw Marcy moving up there with a flashlight.

What was she doing up on his floor?!

In panic, he suddenly ran after Naomi and rushed in after her, shutting the door.

"What are you....".

"Shhhh". He placed a hand on his lips and she shut up like he wanted her to.

Footsteps suddenly approached the room and faded after some time, their eyes locking as if silently reminding each other not to make a single noise.

"Who was that". She asked in a whisper as Daniel walked towards the bed to settle down.

"My aunt?".

"Right...I have to Inform her we’re back home. You should head to your room, I’ll be back soon". Saying that, she grabbed the door knob ready to leave.

"No!!!". He suddenly yelled and ran towards the door, shutting it while pinning her against him but this time, her back was turned to him.

With her being so close, her scent drove him crazy beyond repair.

He couldn’t finish what he was about saying and instead wound his arms latched around her waist bringing her closer to himself. Naomi gasped at the sudden grip around her waist.

Daniel had gone crazy....

He was crazy for her.
