Ch. 211..220
Chapter 211
"You’ve been quiet." Daniel pointed out as he sat there, wiping his wet strands of hair with a small towel.
Naomi was lying down, facing the other way while clutching her hands to her chest. However, her eyes snapped open when she heard his words.
"I’m trying to sleep." She mumbled, not bothering to turn to him.
"Something’s bothering you. Spill." He demanded with a small frown.
"I don’t know what you’re talking about."
He sighed.
"Is it about the elders?"
Silence.
"I’m taking the right measures to prevent... "
"No" Naomi suddenly sat up and moved back to the bed, head rest to to stare at him. "That’s what you think, but forcing them to concede to the ceremony will only make them conclude the type of Luna I’ll be. They’ll think you’re under the influence of my presence."
"Okay Now what? What do you suppose I do? Beg?" He narrowed his eyes at her.
"Just... " She bit her lower lip for a few seconds, staring down before mustering up the courage to complete her request. "Let me do it. Let me talk to them."
"Naomi.... "
"Please." He froze and they locked gazes. He sighed on seeing the misty pitiful look in her eyes. "Just this once, give me a chance to feel like I can actually support you and stand by your side."
Daniel sighed as he tossed the towel aside before slipping into bed with her, Naomi growing apprehensive as she waited for his reply.
"I’m letting you do this, not because I’m happy about it, but because I trust you," Daniel suddenly replied, cupping her two hands in his, pulling her close. "But I can’t trust myself to hold back if they so much as lay a finger on you."
Naomi smiled, her chest brimming with excitement and relief.
"It will go well, I promise."
"Well," He caressed his thumb over her hand before glancing up to look gazes with her again. "I’ll be a mind-link away if you need me."
"Thank you Daniel." She signed.
"Now sleep. You’ve had a long day," He smirked. "Not impressed that you’re still putting on your old Pajamas, but that’s all about to change soon." Naomi gasped as his hand grabbed the waist band of her joggers.
"How am I supposed to touch you if you’re dressed like a nun."
"D- Daniel." She stammered, reflexively grabbing his wrist which was leading his fingers into her joggers. She turned red when he pulled out, noting the suppressing hunger mixed with restraint rummaging in his eyes like a war, a battle In which hunger had the upper hand.
"One more day," He whispered before cupping her chin and pulling her close. "Just one more day and then I can have you."
He leaned in, lips slightly parted as he kissed her long and slow, angling his head rhythmically to hers. The kiss was pasionate but slow and quiet with Naomi’s hand clutched around his wrist, her eyes shut tight in concentration as she tried to keep up with his movements.
Internally, she hoped If they kissed long enough, it would drive away the bad dreams that tormented her at night.
Suddenly thinking about the dream, the sight of Daniel, blood pooling at his feet, his half dead body being dragged on the floor by his weak feet.... an immense fear concealed her entire being and she found herself pulling back.
"Naomi... " Daniel sat up along with her before grabbing her arm. She was terribly shaking, and he could clearly feel her dread and fear. It was all so sudden, what could have possible gotten into her mind?
Perhaps the meeting tomorrow?
"Naomi If you can’t handle the elders alone, I’ll be by your side. You really don’t have to do this alone." He pleaded as he made her look at him, but she still wouldn’t bring herself to stare into his eyes.
Daniel decided to get her a glass of water.
"I’ll be right back, okay?"
Naomi’s eyes suddenly widened as she snapped out of her thoughts. She quickly grabbed onto him and hugged him tight, straddling him by placing her knees at the side of his legs. Her hands wounded tightly around him as she quietly sobbed on his shirt.
"Stay here... with me. Please." She whispered.
"Naomi... "
"It’s not about the elders."
"Then what?" He tried to pull back and stare at her face, but her grip only tightened, and he had no choice but to hold her close, stroking her back soothingly.
"Naomi?" He called after a while of silence. "What’s the problem? If it’s not about the elders, then what?"
Silence.
He finally pulled back slowly and cautiously only to realize she was fast asleep. Suspiciously narrowing his eyes at her strange behavior, he carefully lay her down beside him before covering her up to her chin with the sheets.
Softly caressing her face, his fingers moved her hair to lay behind her ear, the other tracing it through her brows.
The small frown on her face suddenly cleared, and her expression turned peaceful as she slept soundlessly, her lips slightly parted.
"I love you," Daniel whispered. "More than anything in the world. You are literally my other half, and I know when something’s bothering you Naomi. I just wish you trusted me enough to tell me. What are you scared of?"
Could it really just be about the meeting, but she didn’t want to admit it for fear of being told off by him? No of course not. A simple meeting as that couldn’t have shaken her up so badly.
He slipped his legs in beside her before turning to curl his hands around her waist, spooning her from behind.
After placing several kisses on her sweet rose-oil scenting hair, he finally lay down to sleep.
In the middle of the night, Naomi’s eyes snapped open and she began panting, resisting the urge to scream when she realized Daniel was spooning her from behind.
After a while of suppressing her fear, she nuzzled into his embrace and tried to sleep again, her lips trembling as she prayed to the moon goddess. She didn’t want to loose Daniel.
Chapter 212
"Hey. Are you busy?" Nancy cautiously asked as she poked her head through the door leading into Koan’s office.
"What do you need baby?" He slightly stretched his hands and cupped it towards her. Nancy naturally moved close to him, substituting his legs as her chair.
"Liliana and I have been talking, and we decided that we want to start up a training academy for female pack warriors."
Koan almost choked on his saliva on hearing her words.
"Females?"
"Yes. I realized this pack needs strong, independent, resilient women. After the war, we have fallen short of Pack warriors, and I know Raiden’s recruiting new ones, but I just thought... why not add women?"
"But... that’s a lot of responsibility. Training women. Are you sure you’re up for it?"
"I just needed your consent. With Liliana’s help, I’ll be able to... I’m sure there are young women out there who are yearning for this opportunity."
"Okay... " He agreed, smirking on seeing the delighted look in her eyes on his consent to her request. Reaching up to cup her chin, he adds.
"But you can start next week, remember, we can’t miss the Luna ceremony."
"Definitely not. It’s bad enough I wasn’t around to hear the news about Brittany’s pregnancy. I’m so happy for her... "
Koan’s gaze suddenly dropped to her stomach, and Nancy playfully hit his chest.
"Koan!"
He chuckled.
"What? I just imagined you with a little round tummy... you’d make a cute, little wife." He admitted and Nancy blushed before turning to the files on his table, wanting to change the subject quickly.
"When are you coming to bed... It’s already 8:00pm."
"I’ll finish in a few minutes. Don’t worry."
"Can I help?" She innocently asked, but the smirk which rose on his face was far from innocent.
"A climax would really keep me going, at least for an hour. I really want this done before tomorrow." He replied, reaching up to softly bite her earlobe.
Nancy’s eyes widened on hearing his words before she blushed profusely again.
"Koan... this is an office. The elders come here for meetings and... "
He suddenly dropped his pen and slowly pushed his fingers through the night gown she wore. She gasped, but she placed a hand around her mouth.
"Do I look like I care? We’re the only ones in the office, and that’s all that matters." He suddenly pulled his hand out and pushed his chair back; away from the table. "Lock the door."
There was a slightly painful, throbbing sensation between her already jellied legs as she got up and moved towards the door to lock it .
As she did, biting down on her lower lip, she turned, back against the door to see he was sitting there like a devilish Prince Alpha, his jaw lowered to his chest waiting for her to make her move.
"Office is completely sound proof. So don’t hold back." He whispered into her ear as she obediently sat down with her back against his chest.
"I’m not planning to." She smirked to herself, her thoughts only known to her. However the smirk faltered the next second when he reached up to cup her b**bs, squeezing her ni*ples without warning.
A moan escaped her lips and she instinctively parted her legs, raising her knees against the table as she leaned into him, grabbing onto the table, panting softly when he gripped her harder.
Riiiiiiiiiip.
The nightgown was torn from the neck down to the waist; leaving her bare up, her naked boobs already in his hands as he kneaded them evenly with his two big hand, nuzzling the side of her ear with his lips and tongue, giving her a sweet red mark on the other side of her unmarked neck.
Her pants grew heavy and ragged and she bit down harder on her lip as she gripped the table.
"Koan... " She softly moaned as he bit down into her flesh, watching as blood flowed as he marked her again. She noticed he was fond of repeatedly marking her whenever they had s*x, though she didn’t mind a single bit. She was proud of carrying his marks.
She moaned in both pain and pleasure, parting her legs further, especially when one hand began climbing down her knees to her inner thighs, searching for her already wet opening.
A shaky breath escaped their lips simultaneously as he lifted the shreds of clothing around her waist, only to realize she wasn’t wearing anything underneath.
"You’re so wet for me already... " He groaned into her ear before pushing one finger inside. Nancy squirmed and trembled from the sudden motion of his finger plunging into her.
She grabbed harder onto the edge of the table and naturally grinded hard against him, easing the painful amounting pleasure threatening to kill her as he added one more finger and began f**king her in a fast pace, wiggling hard inside her.
"F**k" He groaned before turning silent, the lewd sound of his fingers going In and out of her, coupled with her hurried breaths, the only sound in the room.
Soon, she began grinding against his fingers, moaning softly, her forehead matted with sweat, her lips wet and shiny under the light in the room, her b**obs vibrating tremendously as she grinded harder.
"I’m going to add one more finger, okay?" He whispered softly and waited for her to nod before abruptly shoving one more finger to her, summing it up to three in total.
She swore loudly as he f**ked her hard, pulling back before ramming hard into, expertly rubbing his thumb against her clit .
When he realized she was close to her release, he pulled back and ordered her to turn, so that this time she was straddling him, her hands secured around his shoulders, blood running down her neck to her bo*bs.
Their breathings were ragged as he leaned down to lick her neck down to her bo*bs, sucking hard on her nip*les while clutching the other with his soiled hand from f**king her. Nancy was not ilde. Her hands had raked down to unbuckle his pants, her breathing turning heavy as she loosened it and released his c*CK from its ’cage.’
"Sh*t" Koan swore as he pulled away to toss his head backwards, relishing the moment of Nancy giving him a hand job.
A few seconds later, he cupped his own hand around his length and Nancy watched, biting harder down on her lip, watching as he lubricated his c*CK with the wetness of her.
"Ready?" He asked, panting slightly as he leaned down to stare at her.
She nodded before lifting her a*s up, moaning softly as he led her down to sit on his length, feeling his large c*CK fill her up completely as she sat down, clenching down on him with her muscle walls.
"This never gets old." He groaned, not quite used to how tight she was.
Chapter 213
"You sure you don’t need us?" Barton asked again, worriedly looking at her, his hands deep in his pockets.
Naomi was standing there, a smile on her face with Axle by her side.
"No, It’s okay... I’ll be fine."
"Remember. Just a mind-link away." Daniel chipped in, reminding her.
"It’s just a meeting, not like I’m about to fight a war. I’ll. Be. Fine. The meeting will go well."
"I hope so." Barton mumbled. "Anyway, I have to help mum with shopping for the things we need for tomorrow’s ceremony."
With that, he turned away to leave. Daniel and Naomi locked gazes for sometime before he finally turned and left in Barton’s direction.
’You ready?’ Axle calmly asked as Naomi sighed for the nth time, still at the door.
She suddenly smiled again as she grabbed the door knob.
’Yeah.’
As she pushed the door open, she noticed the silent murmurs in the room ceased, and she froze as Ten pairs of eyes stared at her.
Gulping a mouthful of air, she pursed her lips and squeeze her fists, not letting them see the vunerable side of her and use it to their advantage.
"Where’s the Alpha?" Elder Carlos asked, looking behind her only to see the other Kitsune who returned their curious glares with a cool look.
"He will be absent from the meeting. It will just be us." As she came in with Axle, the door shutting with a resounding echo behind them, It sent chills up their spine.
Naomi sat down on the chair and Axle positioned herself behind the chair as all the elders sat up on their seats with apprehensive looks.
Ignoring them, she leaned forward, crossing her arms on the table with raised brows.
"Alright... Let’s begin."
*
There was a knock on the door when Daniel stepped out of the shower, having returned from the training grounds and needed to wash up.
Wiping his hair, he opened the door with the other hand, only to see Axle standing there with an apprehensive expression on her face.
His eyes darkened.
"What happened?"
"She... Y- Your highness. She... " No words could form, yet her lips shook terribly as she forced herself to say something.
Daniel tried contacting Naomi through the mind link, but she had shut him out.
What?!
He skidded past Axle and was already on his way to the office when she spoke up.
"The Elders agreed to concede to the ceremony on one condition... "
Daniel froze, and the two turned simultaneously as he regarded her with a probing gaze.
*
Bang!
Files flew to the floor, followed by a laptop before Daniel fell to the seat facing hers. Naomi wasn’t even shaken by his tantrums and only sat rigid without moving, staring into space.
"Daniel... " Aunt Marcy soothingly called in worry.
"They want her dead." Daniel spat out like there was a bad taste lingering at the tip of his tongue.
"It’s the only way. I have no choice." Naomi calmly said, but there an edge to her voice.
"Naomi!" He growled. "They want you to fight a default, without using your powers... "
"It’s a suicide mission." Barton agreed, folding his arms.
When a werewolf turns a human to one of them, their chances of turning into hybrids perfectly are quite slim. Most times, the human genes are unable to accept werewolf genes, thus destroying the mentality of the human, turning them into a mindless default who would kill anything in their way without thinking. They were like zombies who moved much faster than werewolves even.
They were rough, wild and Dark Risers was popular for actually caging some of them.
To prove her undying loyalty and unwavering strength, they were going to release a default into the kindergarten school in the pack, and Naomi’s task was to make sure no child got hurt and kill the default.
Without her powers.
"I know what you’re thinking." Naomi suddenly spoke up on seeing the look in his eyes. "But you can’t just cancel it. If this is what it takes to gain their trust, then I’ll do it."
"F**k their trust!!!" He growled. "Can’t you see through their impossible task? They want you dead!"
"Daniel..." Aunt Marcy called pleadingly. "You really have no option. It’s either that, or you could forget about the ceremony."
Crack!
The side of the table where he had his grip on suddenly broke before he got up with his blood stained hand.
"There has to be another way." Daniel whispered, but the look on their faces showed that there really wasn’t.
"Daniel just trust me."
"Trust you?" Daniel snapped at her with cold eyes. "You said the same thing before I let you handle this meeting alone. They sent you on a suicide mission, and you obliged. Do you understand that I can’t bear to loose you again?"
"You won’t." She coldly said, feeling her heart clench when she realized she wasn’t able to convince him to trust her. "Don’t make this sound impossible. Believe in me Daniel... I CAN do this."
"I may be able to kill the default, but it’s impossible to not loose a child while you’re at it. Almost every couple in Dark Risers’s got a kid there, and the elders knew exactly what they were doing when they f**king asked you to do this. If you loose a child, it’s over."
"I’ll be careful... "
"Naomi.. don’t you get it," He growled at her, failing to see the fear that rose in her eyes when he did. "You can’t do it. You’ll die half way through, the default will kill every single child there, and guess what’s going to happen next?? Can you not guess, or do you have a clear picture of what’s going to happen already!"
There was silence until he finally calmed down, the glaciers in his eyes melting away when he saw the fear and dread he had instilled in her.
"Naomi... "
She backed away when he tried to reach out to her.
"I guess this is me being stupid because I’m doing every single thing possible to be your Luna." With that, she left the office, brushing hard against him as she exited the office.
Daniel turned to meet everyone’s glares, especially Axle’s before she went after Naomi.
"She just asked you to trust her. The least you could do was oblige." Aunt Marcy said.
Chapter 214
"Dad!" Nancy yelled as she ran forward before leaping onto Alpha Henry who caught her with a hearty chuckle.
Once their little reunion was over, he slowly let her down before raking his eyes through the crowd that had gathered for the Luna naming ceremony, a thin division between the crowd, meant for the Luna to walk through, towards the levated platform where Daniel, the elders, the Shaman and his Beta were.
Beside the levated platform was the high table meant for the other elders, Shamans, Alphas, Lunas and Betas who could make it to the ceremony.
The crowd was much bigger than the last. After all, this was witnessing the first union of two different species whereby one was their former enemy. No one wanted to miss it.
The entire place was noisy with chatter, and everywhere was lively.
"Where’s Alpha Koan?"
"Oh. You’ve only just arrived. He’s at the high table. Where’s Pamela?"
"She’s at the pack. Can’t get over the fact that Angela had to stay at the rehabilitation center." Alpha Henry replied with a sober look, but on noticing her gaze fixed on his face, he managed a smile before gliding his hand over her hair very fondly.
"Come. Let’s go."
*
Talia bumped into someone as she moved through the crowd.
"Brittany?? I thought I told you to sit at the high table? What are you doing walking around? You should be feeling dizzy by now."
Brittany gave her a blank stare.
"Is this about me being pregnant?? Are you treating me like a baby now. Jeeez! You’re worse than Royce. He wouldn’t even let me do anything anymore, but that as*hole keeps me awake all night when... " Her voice trails down when she sees two guys approach them.
"When what?" John had a snickering look on his face.
"Mind your business, John." Talia shot at him when Brittany blushed and didn’t have anything else to say. However, her expression softened when she saw Jephthah smiling at her.
"I was waiting for you." She suddenly latched onto his arm and led him through the crowd, towards the high table, blabbering something inaudible, probably about their trip to paris.
"Jephthah!!" Someone called from the crowd and Talia’s face darkened slightly when Jephthah meekly waved with a small smile.
It was Angel.
Jephthah’s new GIRL friend from Dark Risers’s after that incident at Daniel’s Alpha Naming ceremony.
"Hey Talia." Angel waved from far, not daring to approach him like she wanted on seeing who locked arms with him.
Talia just smiled. It was tight lipped but the message in her eyes was clear to Angel.
Hey! Have a Nice day! Now Get Lost!
"You look... " Jephthah clears his throat as they sat down. "Very beautiful."
Talia froze in the act of getting up to hug Nancy. She turned to Jephthah with a flushed face who glanced away.
"Thank you... you look beautiful too."
Just as Jephthah turned to her in confusion, she had already escaped from his side, laughing hard.
Just as she, Nancy and Liliana got together, and endless session of girl talk started, Raiden, Jephthah and Koan had no choice but to make small talk with other Alphas, seeing as the women weren’t paying heed to them.
Alpha Cardin, Raiden and Jephthah shared a conversation.
Brittany and John were at the food court, with John helping Brittany pile some snacks onto her plate.
"Lest I forget. Congratulations Brittany."
Brittany grinned.
"Awwwnnnn. Thank you John. How did you know?"
"Talia called. I knew this was going to happen someday, but I never knew I’d father a child now."
Brittany was about to turn another shade of red again when Royce suddenly said from behind them.
"Father whose child?"
John choked on the food he placed in his mouth as he turned with his eyes wide in shock. Brittany giggled on seeing the mock dark gaze on her mate’s face intended to scare the twin.
"If you’ll excuse me... I think I’m being needed somewhere else." He curtsied before speeding away, under Royce’s dark gaze which he then directed towards Brittany.
"Brittany? I thought I told you to sit at the high table? What are you doing walking around. You should be feeling dizzy by now."
Brittany gave him a blank stare.
"Motherf**king a*shole!!! I’m hungry and I felt like eating something. I’m not lame, you idiot." She growled at him.
He only smirked.
"I see the pregnancy hormones are kicking in already."
But he was quick to dodge a plastic cup being thrown in his way.
*
"I’ve never really given Koan a blowjob before. I assumed he wouldn’t like it" Nancy bashfully said, glancing to the far corner to see Koan casually talking to Alpha Henry and Alpha Joseph.
"Are you for real? Guys love that... I can’t believe you still haven’t done it." Liliana rolled her eyes.
"There’s still time though." Talia asked and grinned when Nancy blushed again. "I’m going to miss you all. I can’t believe I’m spending a f**king year in Paris."
"Paris is a great place." Nancy pointed out.
"That’s not it, her boyfriend wouldn’t be by her side for her to tease all the time." Liliana replied, rolling her eyes with a smile.
"Actually, he’ll be spending the first month of my one year with me in Paris before he returns here." Talia dropped the bomb.
"Oh My Goodness!!! So it’s going to be like a honeymoon, s*x fest or something... Imagine staying in a private suite with Raiden. F**k, I’m so jealous. It’s a suite right?"
Talia and Nancy laughed out loud.
"How come girls never get tired of talking... and they seem to enjoy every single second of it." Raiden grumbled, feeling left out without Liliana by his side.
"I say you two go into the crowd and dance with a few chics. You’ll surely gain their attention." John nonchalantly replied, stuffing food into his mouth.
"Yeah... I’m not taking my chances with Liliana."
"Neither am I." Jephthah replied and grimaced when John kept stuffing his face. "I’m surprised you haven’t gotten fat with all the steak you consume. You eat more than everyone combined at a party."
"That’s what parties are practically for. To Eat."
"We’re celebrating the... ugh! Just forget it."
*
"Guys look... " Nancy inclines her jaw to the levated platform and they see Daniel sitting there on the high chair, hair disheveled, giving him this sexy aura that would drive all girls crazy, mated ones included.
It was his Luna’s ceremony, an occasion which would keep a smile on his face throughout the entire day.
But he hadn’t moved from his spot since they all arrived, and had kept sulking like someone had given him a bad news. The aura around him was so suffocating that even the elders sitting around him kept their distance, while Barton and Axle made small talk behind him to pass time.
"He’s always moody, but I haven’t seen him this way before." Talia snarkily replied, but she had a worried look in her eyes.
’What’s wrong with Daniel?’ Nancy asked Koan using the mind link, and from the edge of her eyes, she watched Koan raise his head towards the levated platform.
Chapter 215
’I don’t know. Want to find out?’ He asked, because he clearly wanted to mind his own business, but if Nancy insisted on checking up on him, he’d have to go.
Nancy got up.
’Yes.’
Koan sighed as he followed her from behind while their friends watched.
"Daniel."
The dark expression on his face lit up lightly on seeing Nancy. He motioned for them to come up.
Koan placed his thumb and forefinger on each side of his lips, stretching them with a stoic expression, motioning for him to smile.
Daniel blinked.
"Why so grumpy? Today’s your Luna’s naming ceremony." Nancy said as Daniel got up to meet them at the side of the platform, away from probing eyes.
"I’m in mourning." Daniel stiffly replied.
Barton came up behind him, resisting the urge to flick his forehead as he sighed.
"Your mate is not dead."
"What?" Nancy had a horrid look on her face.
Soon, Elder Peter, the eldest amongst them finally got up and everyone began to shush when they realized he wanted to make an announcement.
Alpha Koan and Nancy dutifully left the platform as they weren’t meant to be there, while Daniel returned to his chair, resuming his posture.
There was a pin-drop silence In the entire place as they all waited for Elder Peter to speak up.
"The future Luna of Dark Risers’s pack will show her worth and capability today to enable us concede to terming her as our official Luna."
’What do they mean by showing her worth and capability?’ Alpha Cardin asked his Beta with a scrunched up face.
’I don’t know. We’re about to find out.’ Beta Royce replied, but like everyone, he had an apprehensive expression. What do they mean???
"She is currently located at Sunshine Kindergarten, and the default will be released into the premises in the next ten minutes."
"Default?" Alpha Joseph suddenly shot up from his seat. The crowd disrupted in murmurs. "You’re releasing a default. Could you explain why?"
Elder Peter felt the aura almost knock him down, but he cleared his throat and manged to say.
"It’s all part of the test, Alpha Joseph. To prove to us here that she’ll be able stand strong with her mate- Our Alpha and also prove her loyalty to us."
"I don’t understand!!" A woman screamed In the crowd. Her entire being was trembling.
"Our children are still in Sunshine Kindergarten. Are you trying to kill them? Do you realize you’ve put them all in danger, Elder Peter?"
"...Including the future Luna of Dark Risers’s pack." Luna Tessa added outloud.
Elder Peter gave Daniel a look, but he only snickered.
Alpha Koan suddenly got up, and Elder Peter felt the earth should just swallow him up.
"Did her mate- your alpha, concede to this."
"I sure as hell did not." Daniel snapped.
Elder Peter noticed the women trying to leave the vicinity and his clear voice boomed around the arena.
"There’s not use trying to leave. We made sure there will be no one who would be able to leave this place till she must have arrived."
"Elder Peter... "
He cut in when a woman who was already brimming with tears spoke up.
"We all have to depend on the future Luna to protect your younglings now, and not me. So we wait... and see what happens."
The murmurs grew louder and the Pack warriors had dutifully formed a circle around the area, ensuring that no one left the place.
"This is wrong." Liliana mumbled.
"Well, it’s not like we can do anything," Koan said as he sat back down when Elder Peter returned to his position. "We just have to hope Naomi knows what she’s doing, I don’t think she’d want anyone to interfer."
*
Daniel’s frown deepened when the Shaman arrived with a glass of wine.
"You can mind-link your mate now before you drink this. Once you drink it, it will cut off all connections you’ll have with her till she arrives."
Daniel sighed. This would be the first time he would try to talk to her after what happened at the office yesterday.
Naomi had relocated to Axle’s room to spend the night, and the this morning, they acted like complete strangers until he arrived here.
Would she even want to talk to him?
*
Naomi had given all the children enough harmless toys and paints to play and draw with before locking them up in the room, adding a chair underneath the knob to hold it down.
As she walked down the hallways, passing classrooms, ensuring no child was left behind, she hears a voice in her head. A voice she didn’t expect to hear.
’Naomi .. ’
She felt her eyes brim with tears as she answered.
’Daniel... ’
Daniel stared into space for a moment before he spoke up.
’I believe in you. I trust you... I believe you’ll be done in a few hours and you’ll walk right up to this platform, and bear my mark and you’ll be mine... I believe you won’t leave me alone again... I do believe you Naomi."
Naomi closed her eyes and felt the tears spill down her cheeks. Daniel’s eyes welled up as well on feeling her emotions, and it took all his willpower to blink back the tears that threatened to spill down his own cheeks.
"Thank you Daniel.. Thank you for believing in me."
With that, he reached for the wine and threw the contents into his mouth by tilting it back. At that moment, he felt empty, and realized it must have worked.
He had done his best, it was up to her now.
*
As Naomi felt him cut off from the mind-link, she slowly removed the dagger hanging low from her waist holster, her eyes moving to and fro.
She made sure the chair was underneath the door knob before running out the building, towards the playground.
Just as she was glancing to and fro, having calculated that the default must be around, she had a bone chilling, heart piercing, teeth thitering growl behind her.
Even the dagger in her grip dropped to the ground as she trembingly turned to face the monster behind her.
Standing on its hind legs was a nine feet default. It was clearly a man who had grown too many furs on his chest, back, ears, arms and legs. His ears were abnormally bigger than a normal human’s and the color of his eyes were deep-set gold with a black slash In each one, giving him this frightening hungry look as he scrutinized her.
Without warning, claws spread out, he leaped forward, towards her.
Chapter 216
Screams were heard in a classroom, and several cute younglings were seen from the window as they stared at the horrific scene of the default dragging Naomi with its large hand, curled around her ankles. It was bent over her, Its hungry saliva dripping onto her cloths.
There was a big gash on her forehead which bleed profusely, but she didn’t relent to struggle as it carelessly dragged her on the ground like a dirty rug.
There was a terrified look in her eyes, but as it kept dragging her, she saw her dagger an inch away; where it had fallen off from the fight, and stretched her hand, curling her fingers around the handle with ease.
Reaching forward by abruptly sitting up, she stabbed it right at the side of the neck before falling back to the ground, watching as the default leaned back, releasing a blood curling growl as it staggered back, blood gushing down its neck like water from a faucet.
Feeling a purging feeling in her stoamch, she quickly scrambled up, getting back on her feet, but at that moment, the default turned to her with bloodlust and began chasing after her, growling, with the dagger still stuck to its neck.
Panting hard, she increased her pace, her eyes wide as she could hear the prancing, loud footsteps of the default closely behind her.
Seeing the playground swing close by, she easily did a cartwheel in the air before landing atop the swing, meeting eye to eye with default who kept coming after her.
The swing shook, threatening to throw her off her feet, but she maintained her stance as she stood there, knee slightly crouched as she waited for it to get close.
Like she wanted, it got closer and she leaped into the air, grabbing the default around the neck, quickly crawling to straddle it from the back.
Her hand hastingly moved, despite the default trying to get her off its back and she grabbed hold of her dagger and pulled it out abruptly, watching as more blood spilled out, soaking her clothes.
"Arrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuu!!!’ The monster yelled as she drove the dagger into the side of his head, but the blade didn’t go in too deep before he ran towards a wall and slammed onto it with his back.
As he pulled away, Naomi lost her composure and peeled off his back, dropping limply to the ground.
The Default growled and shook its head before the dagger dropped to the ground with a clatter.
Just as he made his move to grab Naomi by the head this time, he heard the excited screams of living beings and turned to the direction of it.
The black slash narrowed in his eyes and the flitting hunger remained as he shot towards the building like a missile.
Naomi who was too weak to even move a muscle, shot up from the ground, grabbing onto the dagger as she ran after the default when she noticed where it was headed.
Her heart beat fast and hard in ample to her breathing as she ran with a speed she never knew she had. The adrenaline rush just kept her heart pounding as her legs moved fast across the ground, but it was too late because the default had crashed into the building.
However, she rushed in in time to see him heading for the door with the chair securely placed under the door knob.
Without a thought, she picked a recycle bin from the ground and thew it at him. She missed and it hit the wall, but it did get him to turn towards her with a predatory look in his eyss.
"It’s me you want, not them." She growled defiantly, a bright glint in her eyes as she moved the daggers in-between her fingers before pushing one knee forward, the hand holding onto the dagger backwards, her chin lowered to her chest as she watched him run towards her like a maniac, smashing things in its way, yet she didn’t move.
Just when he got close, she simply slides to the side and watched as he ran into the Janitor’s closet, smashing through the door.
Panting hard, she made to run towards the door, but he had rush out with that same speed as he had crashed Into the closet, knocking her to the side.
Naomi saw black as she slammed Into a wall, feeling the dagger in her hand clatter to the ground. Her half closed eyes could make out the shape of a trail of blood which she had formed with her own body, but her eyes finally widened when she saw a chair beside her and realized it was the one she had kept underneath the door knob.
She got to her feet, hearing the smashing sounds of lockers and walls as the default neared her. Grabbing onto the chair, she raised it up and brought it down with a scream as the default reached out for her.
There was a smashing sound and she opened her eyes to see the default glaring at her in anger and rage before he flung his hand, trying to hit her, but she swung her leg and kicked his ankle which was its weak spot since she noticed he was limping after crashing into the Janitor’s closet.
She watched him fall miserably to the ground before she dropped to her knees, panting hard, feeling her eyes grow misty as she blindly searched for her dagger.
Just as she reached out and grabbed it, she was thrown up to the air by the default, but as she crashed down, she screamed, dragging the blade across its face before she fell to the ground again.
The default screamed and crashed into things, things which included the door that guarded the kindergartners whose screams alerted Naomi who was weakly dying in a pool of her own blood from meeting hard with the ground.
"N- No... " Her eyes slowly closed on seeing the kindergartners scatter around the school hallways as the default knocked down paintings and toys in the room. "This .. can’t be happening." She suddenly growled and got up, staggering slightly.
No. Daniel trusted her. The parents of these children were trusting them in her care. The entire Dark Risers’s pack trusted her. Her friends did. Everyone did. She had to prove the Elders wrong. She just had to.
Bending down, she picked the blade off the floor as she targeted the side of his forehead which she had pierced previously, but didn’t have the time to finish him off as she was thrown off immediately.
As the default growled in pain, she turned to the kids.
"Everyone!! Go outside!!! Now." She yelled, and they all obediently scampered, running out as fast as they could with their small legs. As she turned to the default, it had already begun running straight at her with bloodlust in its eyes.
Chapter 217
It crashed into a wall again, but Naomi was securely bound behind him still, straddling him tighter with the dagger to her month, her grip in his fur very tight.
The default slammed into walls and lockers, hoping to get her off like the last time, but she bore the pain as she climbed further up his back, wounding her arm around his neck with one hand before pulling dagger out her mouth with the other.
Without hesitation, she plunged the dagger into the side of the head. This time, it was so deep that only the handle was left at the side.
Sighing, Naomi braced herself one last time as she was flung to the side of the lockers once more. She coughed up blood and quickly sat up, watching in satisfaction and horror as the default growled in pain before blindly bursting out the walls, heading outside!!!
Eyes wide, she got up, staggering weakly as she ran out, but she almost collapsed in relief on seeing the default lying at the entrance of the building, unmoving, with blood trickling from the side of its head.
I did it Daniel.
The last thing she saw was the little kids surrounding her with worried looks as she drifted off into unconsciousness.
"She’s dead!" One cried out in a terrified voice.
"No. She’s still breathing." Another said, who had put his ear to her chest like he had seen in movies.
"Well... what do we do now? Pretty Aunty here saved us from the big monster. We can’t leave her here to suffer. Poor Aunty!"
"There’s a telephone in the teacher’s office. We could use that to call for help."
"You don’t know how to use a phone."
"I do."
"You don’t."
"You’ll see." With that, the petite girl ran into the school, with a group of other students right behind her.
As they got into the office, they all co-operated by pushing a big chair towards the table and a smaller one. The girl, Chloe, climbed the small one before hopping onto the big one.
"Look... the teacher has our parents’ numbers in a book. I can’t quite read, so I’ll just dial any number." The girl said, scrutinizing the numbers with a cute expression on her face.
"Stop shaking the table." She scolded the naughty boys who were hopping around excitedly, having seen too much action for today.
As they stopped, she began dialing the numbers, punching in the buttons with her hands squeezed into a fist.
"It’s ringing. It’s ringing!!"
"Shhhh."
"I told you I could do it.."
"Shhhh." The naughty boys shushed her.
*
Dalene had her arms folded amongst the crowd as they all waited in grave silence.
She was shaking pretty badly. She had two sons In the school, and the thought of loosing them gave her goosebumps. You could imagine her expression when her phone began to ring and it was from Sinshine Kindergarten.
"It’s from Sunshine Kindergarten." She called out loud, feeling Daniel should know about this. After all, he had been walking to and fro on the levated platform, threatening to end the Elders’ lineage if anything happens to his mate.
Daniel abruptly got up from his seat and rushed towards the woman.
Dalene was shocked and flustered at the spped, but she understandingly let him have the phone.
"Hello?" Daniel hurriedly said, expecting to hear Naomi’s voice, but he heard a cute little one instead.
"Um.. Mr. Parent, Could you come pick us up at Sunshine school. No one’s at school and pretty aunty’s dead."
"She’s not dead. She’s just sleeping." He heard another cute voice yell at her from the background and he wasn’t sure what to feel anymore, but in the next minute he had handed Dalene her phone before shifting and speeding off like a bullet.
’Barton get the car.’
*
There were whispers and murmurs, coupled with cries of relief and reunions as parents rushed towards their children who were amongst the crowd behind Daniel.
He had changed into some new clothes from the car which Barton had brought to carry them all back to the venue and had Naomi in his arms, a look of pride and fury in his eyes as he berrated the elders standing there with dark looks, challenging them to go back on their words.
On reaching there, he helped Naomi down, and as she stood to her feet, she was suddenly left stunned when the crowd erupted in a loud cheer.
Even honorable Alphas and Lunas got up to their feet and began clapping loudly with smiles on their faces, her friends included.
Naomi felt her heart explode into so many emotions as she stood there, soaked in blood and scars, watching as they all cheered..
They were cheering for her.
A Kitsune.
She turned to her side to see the Elders. Some were clapping while some like Peter just stared at her in shock and awe. They clearly weren’t expecting to see her, were they?
"I knew you could do it Naomi." Daniel whispered amongst the loud cheers and Naomi turned to him with a smile, tears welling up in her eyes.
*
"Do you promise to Stand by your Alpha in sickness and In health, during the rise and fall of his pack, and ensure to always support him when he fails and succeeds." The Shaman asks, standing in between them, clearly feeling a bit embarassed as he wondered whether they could hear him since their eyes were fixed so deep In each other’s.
"I do." She was meant to repeat the vow word for word, but she just wanted to get this over with and be in his comforting arms again. She felt drained and tired, but she knew this was a moment they might never have again.
Those two words were the ticket to the next ritual. Grabbing her by the waist, he pulled her in, sending sparks of pleasure up her body as he pulled her hair to the side.
’I love you.’
Her heart suddenly flipped hearing him and she glanced down as she replied.
’I love you too.’
Slipped his hand around her waist, he leaned in close and crashed his jaw against her neck, biting down on her skin, marking her, finally claiming her as his own. A dream of his for so many years had finally come to a reality
Chapter 218
As Naomi sat in the bathtub, waiting for Daniel to see his guests off, she wondered what she was going to put on when she steps out.
Her heart was beating eradically both in excitement and nervousness as she patted herself dry on leaving the bathroom.
’Red.’ She suddenly heard Daniel’s voice in her head and froze.
’Red?’
’The red nightgown. I want to see you in it.’
She instinctively bit down on her lips on hearing his voice and felt hot for some reason, but she couldn’t reply and only looked In the direction of her wardrobe, releasing a shaky breath she never realized she was holding.
*
"Hey Axle."
Axle turned on hearing Daniel’s voice.
"A- Alpha Daniel."
"I erh... " He rubbed the back of his neck. "I just wanted to thank you... about Naomi Tonight. For... "
’Oh... it’s okay." She began to protest
"No really. I know you used most of your energy to heal her... and I really appreciate it. So thank you. Really. And uh... Welcome to Dark Risers. I hope you’re enjoying it so far."
She managed a nod, blinking her eyes, and watched as he ran upstairs to his room.
*
Naomi chewed thoutfully on her lip as she scrutinized herself Infront of the mirror. She was clad in a blood red spaghetti strap night down with a full net design which clearly showed the thong she was putting on and her beautiful arched back and curved waist.
Her cleavage almost spilled out from the deep V neck cut as she twisted and turned slowly to stare at her reflection. Wasn’t she naked already? This was too much...
She was already worried, feeling a bit insecure about her exposed body. Her hair was let down, falling over her shoulders, covering most of her cleavage.
"Gorgeous."
She turned with a gasp, holding onto her bare chest as she stared at him with wide eyes.
"Daniel.. "
Without a word he walked close to her before slowly peeling one hand off her chest, slipping her fingers into his mouth without breaking the heated gaze locked in hers.
A shuddering breath was released from her lips again, and she felt a hot flaming desire light up her insides like a raging Inferno as she stared at him wide eyed, hearing him groan softly as he sucked on her long, beautiful fingers, all the way to her knuckles, rubbing his tongue over the tips, sending sparks up her body until she couldn’t hold it in any more and moaned softly.
Hearing her moan, he smirked around her fingers in his mouth especially when she cupped her mouth with her other hand.
"You’re so f**king perfect... your body is hot, and you’ve got the curves of the goddess. What more do I want for dinner tonight?" He said as he pulled her wet fingers from his mouth before running his tongue over them again, still not breaking his gaze.
He suddenly raked his eyes over her body before latching onto her wrists.
"Let’s get you ready."
Ready?
She was confused, but he had already pulled her to the bed and pushed her to fall back against the pillows without warning.
She reflectively sat up, back against the bed headrest as she watched him take off his shirt, eyes trailing over his chest, accentuating down to a set of hard rocky six-pack abs which trailed down to a mouth watering V-shaped torso that left her mesmerized, not realizing she had been staring for long until he got Into bed and towered over her.
Their gazes locked before he leaned down to kiss her. This one was rough, though filled with passion, it drove her crazy as she felt both pain and pleasure on her lips as he cupped her face hard, deepening his kiss, finding her tongue with his and merging with it.
She leaned up, angling her head to match up to his rough firy kiss, feeling a light wet sensation down there, forcing her to suddenly pull back.
That wet sensation between her legs again. It both excited and terrifying her... What was it?
But Daniel didn’t give her a chance to catch her breath before kissing her again, this time, pushing his hand through her gown, past her thong, past her stomach, up to clutch her b**bs.
Gasping, she pulled back, feeling another wave of desire travel through her body, overwhelming her, but he held her down on the bed as he kneaded her b*obs with his hand, gliding his lips and tongue over her face, down to her neck, creasing his tongue over her mark before trailing it to her chest.
"Daniel .. " She softly moaned, reflexively wrapping her legs around his waist, trying to relieve herself of the throbbing pain between her legs as she dug her nails into his back.
Her breasts were manhandled and touched in a way she had never felt before, and she found herself aching her back off the bed as she silently pleaded for him to sexually torture her more.
She soon released a moan, longer and much louder on feeling his teeth and lips graze her nip*les before he began sucking hard on it, massaging the other with his hand.
These new pleasures were so overwhelming, left her breathless and needing more that she wrapped her hands around his hair, lacing her fingers through his mass of black hair as she pressed his lips further down on her b**bs, encouraging him to suck harder.
Soon, she felt his hand trail down to lift the hem of her gown up before slipping her thong to the side.
Naomi’s eyes snapped open. Why were his fingers going...
"Daniel... " She suddenly moaned loudly, suddenly moving her hands to dig her nails into his shoulders as she felt something go inside of her, sending those waves of pleasure rummaging through her body, this time spreading down to her toes, causing it to curl before tried to close her legs.
On noticing she felt a bit uncomfortable, he reached up to smash his lips against hers, slipping his tongue in and comforting hers with his as he began slipping the finger in and out of her.
She ached her back off the bed once more, feeling her senses turn mushy in her brain as she deepened her nails in his shoulders, not sure if to tell him to stop or not.
This went on for several minutes before he pulled away, and she bit her lip as she felt something definitely wet between her legs.
Sighing, breathless, she glanced up to see Daniel pull his finger out of her. Eyes wide, she scrutinized his wet fingers, before it grew wider when Daniel inserted it into his mouth and suckled on it before pulling out his finger, locking gazes with her.
"Now you’re ready."
Chapter 219
Naomi stared blankly at him, hoping his last words were a joke.
"What?" She was in disbelief.
"Sit on my face." He repeated.
He was lying down before her while she straddled him, her thong on the ground, her body bare.
"I... I... " She was flushed as she stared at him. "I don’t understand."
He leaned up to look at her.
"I want to eat you for dinner, so the easiest way for that to happen is if you sit on my face and let me eat you out. What’s there not to understand."
She bit her lip. Dinner? She was dinner?
"What if I suffocate you?"
Daniel chuckled.
F**k she was cute.
"Sit. Down."
With meek moves, she crawled onto his body, fidgeting slightly in confusion and embarassment as she held onto the bed headrest before slowly lowering herself onto his face.
Daniel quickly grabbed onto her waist, forcing her down, into his mouth immediately.
It was like a thousand sparks of pleasure travelled up her body again as she felt his lips and tongue fully buried inside of her and she instinctively made to jump, but Daniel had already seen it coming and had grabbed onto her waist tightly before he began lapping his tongue inside of her, f*cking her with his tongue, rummaging around with his lips.
"ahhh... Daniel... " She moaned, tears welling up in her eyes as she fisted the side of the bed before grinding against his face, easing the overwhelming pleasure that threatened to spill tears from her eyes.
She heard the lewd sound of her mate eating her up like she was the most delicious food ever and even a tomato could not hold a candle to the color of her face, yet she grinded harder against him, biting down on her lower lip as her eyeballs rolled in their sockets.
"F**k, you’re so delicious Naomi. You’re my favorite ice cream flavor. I swear I could you eat you all day." He groaned as he ate her up, but she was too lost in pleasure to hear him as she moaned his name while he ate her up, and right there, she had her first climax, and collapsed onto the bed, her chest heaving up and down in shock and excitement of what just happened.
It was like she was literally on the air as she cummed... Wow!
"Sorry." She mumbled, feeling ashamed, seeing Daniel’s face as he sat up, but it didn’t look like he minded as he licked himself clean of everything before cupping her chin.
"You taste delicious. I don’t mind." With that, he kissed her, making her taste herself In his mouth, and she found herself taking the initiative of slipping her tongue inside, but he was the one who broke the kiss and he pulled away this time to her disappointment.
"It’s your first time... so I’m going to be extra careful. I won’t be so nice the second time though." He groaned into her ear as he kissed the side of her neck, sucking on a particular spot.
"Will it really hurt.. " She asked as he held her down, towering over her again.
"Why do you ask?"
"Brittany said it hurt the first time."
"It will hurt," He slowly began unbuckling his belt and her eyes dropped down and widened when he took off the rest of his clothes and knelt before her in his full nude glory. "But I said I’ll be careful... remember?"
"D- D... D... "
She was stammering as she stared at the length and size, but she really couldn’t form words as she stared at it like it was a Python.
"Daniel!" She finally gasped when he leaned down to kiss her boobs and the tip brushed against her entrance. "Daniel... it wouldn’t fit!!! You’ll tear me apart."
He chuckled.
"I’ll just force it in and we can sew you back together when we’re done." He teased and watched In amusement as her eyes grew wide, however when she saw the glint in his eyes, she slapped his chest.
"Daniel. S- stop teasing me."
"I said I’ll be careful."
"Promise?"
"I promise." His tone softened before he smilingly reached to tuck her hair behind her ear.
"I can’t believe this is really happening." Naomi whispered, feeling overwhelmed with so many emotions.
Daniel didn’t say anything for a while.
"Do you remember when I was little and wished we were going to be mates... "
Naomi chuckled slightly.
"That’s why I can’t believe this is actually happening. I thought it was ridiculous."
"Yeah... as I grew I realized what I said earlier was really ridiculous. I was just so overwhelmed with the thought of loosing you to someone else and not having to spend the rest of my life with you that I wished we would be together... as one... just like this"
"Well... take what’s always been yours Daniel." She said cockily but her eyes grew wide when he leaned close, causing his hard length tip to brush against her entrance again.
"This will be amusing... watching your small tight entrance take in all of these... " He snarkily said, already reaching down to rub her entrance with his fingers.
She bit her lip and threw back her head with a moan while he reached up to cup his hand, wet from her release, onto his co*k to lubricate it.
"Touch yourself... touch your n*ipples... down to your s*x... do it." He whispered and watched as she obediently ran her hands down her bo*bs kneading it as he had done previously, twisting and turning her nipples with a moan, closing her eyes as she moved the other hand down there to slowly insert a finger into her wet entrance.
Daniel watched everything as he stroked himself, lubricating his c*CK. The sight of his woman masturbating before him was so f**king pleasurable to watch while he touched himself too. He wished they could like this much longer.
"Whose are you?" He groaned as he asked, pushing her finger aside to place the tip of his cock to her entrance, slowly teasing the entrance with his tip.
Naomi bit her lip as she punched her nipples harder, wetting her lips.
"I’m yours... "
"That’s right..." He watched as she moaned. "And you’ll forever be mine... because I own you. Your body, your heart and your soul... and you own me too. No man has the liberty of touching you, except me. Understand?"
She nodded and bit harder on her lip as he slowly inserted his c*ck into her. There was silence, only the sound of their ragged breathings as her grip on her nipples tightened as he slowly entered her before waiting for a few seconds to adjust to her tightness, swearing when she moaned out loud in pain and pleasure, clamping down on him.
Soon, he began moving, taking his time as he leaned down to kiss her, rocking his hips expertly as he pushed in and out of her, feeling her hands curl to dig their nails into his back, easing her pain while curling her legs around his waist.
They suddenly locked gazes before he reached down to kiss her. This time it was soft, slow and filled with so emotions that when he pulled out, he noticed they were crying at the same time, overwhelmed together from so much emotions having connected as one.
"I love you Naomi." He groaned.
"I love you too Daniel... More than you can ever know."

Chapter 220
"And If they Insist on a video chat, you can just ping me online or call me, I’m always available okay?"
John rolled his eyes as he put the last of his twin brother’s things in the car.
"Blah blah blah. Yes, I perfectly understand... you’ve been going on for the past three hours. Everything is going to be fine. Even Dad’s happy you’re finally doing something meaningful with your life."
Jephthah nervously bit his lip.
"It’s just... I haven’t been away from home for so long and the last time I did was... "
The twins shared a knowing look before John grabbed Jephthah’s shoulders, seeing the look of anguish that passed in his eyes like a fleeting pain.
"Jephthah... Talia isn’t Theresa."
"I know." Jephthah breathed out as John dropped his hands.
"Lighten up for f**k’s sake. You’re going to stay in Paris for a whole month with your girlfriend in an expensive suite. For a whole month. Do you know how lucky you are?"
Suddenly a phone starts to ring.
"Talia... " Was the first word Jephthah said as he placed the phone to his ear.
"Jephthah where are you? It’s almost 6:00am, and our flight’s in one hour." She sounded tired and anxious at the same time. This is how she’s been for the past five days, making sure she didn’t forget anything crucial or important. She was more pissed and distressed all the time than Brittany who was the pregnant one.
"I’ll be there in less than thirty minutes." He soothingly said, noting the anxiousness in her voice.
"Okay... please come quick. If we miss this flight, we’ll have to take the night one, and I don’t think my manager will be too happy about it. I’ve already missed a week."
"Talia, calm down. Everything’s going to turn out okay... " As he said this, he got into the car while John got in at the Passenger’s seat. "Look, I’m already driving down to your place."
Talia sighed, running her hands through her hair.
"Okay. Bye. Love you." She hung up.
"Is he coming?" Royce asked, eating cornflakes while leaning against the pillar outside, staring down at his sister who had been sitting on her suitcase while cradling her other bag into her arms since 5:30am.
"He’ll be here in like thirty minutes."
"So, while you’re waiting, don’t you want to come inside and have breakfast." He frowned a bit. "You’ve missed breakfast like three times already since you got packing last week." With that, he sat beside her on one of the stairs leading up to the doors.
"What’s wrong?" He scooped a spoon and moved it close to her lips.
"Nothing’s wrong." She mumbled before parting her lips, accepting his spoon of cornflakes gratefully.
He kept feeding her.
"Is it about Jephthah?"
Talia buried her face in her hands.
"I really want him to come. I really don’t want to stay alone there in Paris. I really really want to be with him, but it’s going to be stressful living in a suite with him."
"You haven’t told him?" He gave her a blank expression.
Talia had two lives.
She was Talia, a werewolf with a Beta Blood who lived in Blood Moon’s pack and had the best boyfriend in the world, one of the Alpha Twins of Silver fur’s Pack.
In Paris, she was Talya A.K.A Ta-Lyaxoxoxo on Instagram which had currently grown to 11million followers, and 2 following. She was a popular France model with a small Bichon Frisé dog who was currently in her assistant’s apartment.
Talya had her own private suite which was being rented for her by her modelling agency, her own garage filled with new edition cars, and a fat bank account with stash of money.
Sometimes, she loved the popularity and extravagant spending, but sometimes, she just loved Blood Moon’s pack where she could be herself and live low-key.
Golden Elites Modelling agency company had strict rules which concerns the models who work with them. Talia was fine with some of the rules at first, but others... not so much.
The models under Golden Elites agency aren’t allowed to own more than one pet.
The models under Golden Elites agency aren’t allowed to live anywhere else but the suites designated for them to live in.
The models under Golden Elite agency aren’t allowed to drink or club
There were so many others, but there was this particular one that always left a bad feeling gnawing in her chest whenever she read it.
The models under Golden Elite agency aren’t allowed to date or have any sexual relationship with anyone.
"What do I tell him? That we should break up for the entire year I’ll be in Paris? Do you know how miserable we’ll both be."
"Well, how are you planning on living with your boyfriend for a whole month without letting the agency find out, and you do realize you’ll be living together in your rented suite?"
"I don’t know... but I already agreed to let him come for a vacation, and I’ll feel really bad if I cancel at the last minute. He’s already on his way here."
"You should at least tell him."
She opened her mouth to take in the last spoon and she chewed before giving him a thumbs up, a silent gesture that she would.
"Thanks for breakfast Royce." She yelled as he went into the house, grumbling something about making pancakes for Brittany before she could wake up. It was his fault for preventing her from doing anything in the house, now she had turned him to his personal slave and Aunt Stacey left him to suffer it!
’Had to check out the borders between us and the rogues.. seems like some rogues figured out a way to trespass in without my acknowledgment. Isn’t Jephthah coming to pick you up?’
It was Cardin using the mind-link.
’He’ll be here in a few minutes. Good luck’ Talia replied and felt him cut off from the mind-link on hearing her words.
The friends had already said their farewells as Cardin was heading out.
Soon, she recognized a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ driving up from afar and quickly got up, already yanking the arm of her suitcase before running down the steps.
As soon as the car stopped a few feet from where she stood, pulling the arm of her bag so she could drag it across the ground, the twins simultaneously got out of the car to help her.
As John put the things in the trunk, Talia wounded her arms around Jephthah and pressed her lips firmly against his for a lingering kiss while he wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Come on. Let’s go or we’ll miss our flight." Talia nudged him before they got into the car, John sitting at the back.
As Jephthah drove to the airport, Talia put on the wig she had over her head, wore a huge sunglass that covered half her face and put on lipstick.
The twins didn’t question her odd dressing. They knew she had to be in a disguise as they boarded a plane, or they’ll waste their time watching her sign autographs and take selfies with her fans who would definitely recognize her at the airport.
Talya was quite popular.
*
"Remember to always situate more Pack warriors at the East angle of the pack. That’s where we share borders with the rogues, and... "
John sighed and held the space between his brows.
"Jephthah. What did we just talk about? You’re really overreacting.. I said I’ve got this."
"Do you have your tickets, ID, Passport?" Talia asked as she walked towards them, rearranging her wig over her head.
"Yeah."
"I’ll be waiting for you guys. Do you need coffee or anything... I’m heading to a cafe." John said when it was time for them to head to the security checkpoint with their luggages.
"I’ll take a coffee. Black. Non-sweetened." Talia replied with a grateful smile.
"I’ll take a coffee too. You know how I like mine." Jephthah replied, already clasping his hand around Talia’s.
"Sure. No problem." With that he left while the couple went to the security checkpoint.
When they had printed their boarding passes and their luggages have been checked, they headed to security for a scan.
After a thorough search and scan, they found their terminal, and decided to head back to spend the last few minutes of their stay in the airport with John.
As they sipped their coffee in the car, reminiscing on little things, Talia used her last few minutes freedom of wifi to take a selfie and send it into the girls group chat and on Instagram.
Liliana, Talia, Nancy, Naomi and Brittany had created this group chat during Naomi’s Luna ceremony.
Soon, the terminal attendant announced the boarding time which was half an hour to the flight time, so the couple bid John farewell as they made their way to the terminal. They were flying first class, so they were the first set of people flying.
They got their boarding passes checked, walked down the hallway that led to the plane and finally entered the aircraft after putting their phones on flight mode.
Talia led them to their seat while Jephthah pushed their trolley holding in their luggages from behind.
The flight attendants were busy getting everything ready for a safe flight, but since it wasn’t Talia’s first time flying, she knew where to place their bags.
