Is he finally ready to accept both sides of his heritage so he can defeat this beast? Naomi Peters was looking for a new beginning when she moved to Carson.

But nothing could have prepared her for his big secret and she is unexpectedly thrust into a world she knows nothing about when a Wraeken sets its sights on her. Is Naomi willing to trust Daykan with her life? Will she give her heart to him even though he comes along with more than his fair share of baggage?
View MoreChapter TwelveDaykan had been anxiously counting down the hours until he could see Naomi again.He had been steeling himself physically, mentally and emotionally for his grand performance.If he could survive the rest of her month and pull it off without breaking character, he definitely deserved a nomination for an Oscar.Hell, he deserved an Oscar!A werewolf trying to deny mateship was no small feat.It wasn’t a choice who you got the mateship fever for and it hurt to not honor it. The only thing worse than the pain was if your mate died.In that kind of situation, the Moon Spirit could decide to give you another mate, it was up to her divine discretion; but you never fully recovered from the loss of the first one.It wasn’t like a werewolf couldn’t be with someone who wasn’t a mate.In rare situations when a mate couldn’t be found, the werewolf would find someone else to love. But he had heard that in such rare situations, the werewolf chose to remain mateless for life. It wasn’
Chapter ElevenThese past few days had been a battle for Naomi and she had emerged victorious.It hadn’t been easy but she was a fighter and it was going to take far more than that to put her down.The flu had hit her out of nowhere and she had been put out of commission longer than she would have liked. It felt good to be fully back in the clinic. She was sitting at her desk in her office and going through some patients’ files.For the past few days she had only shown up for a couple of hours before heading home or not turning up at all.Anita and Dan had been effectively holding down the fort; they were such great nurses and wonderful people.Sophie had also been a great help. She wasn’t just a receptionist but also a core member of the Paw Prints Clinic.Naomi was glad to have such an awesome team. They had made her transition here so much easier.There was also the fact that Carson was a small town and they didn’t have a lot of animal related emergencies. It hadn’t led to a brea
Chapter TenMate? Daykan felt like his head was going to explode or shoot off his body like a rocket. It was hard to detect what path his suddenly hot head would take but he was leaning towards the rocket option.There was no way he could wait an hour till he went for a run.He couldn’t exactly go on a solo run while his pack was out there. It would be considered disrespectful and against pack rules; even if they didn’t want him there.He didn’t like going for pack runs but this was an emergency situation.Before he was aware of moving, he took off his shorts, tossed them on a random bush and bolted into the forest.He stopped, went on all fours, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.He dug deep for his other side and allowed the change take over him. He grew in size, fur sprung out from all parts of his body, his mouth elongated and flesh tearing teeth formed.All his senses were immediately heightened. His eyes were keen and ready to notice the smallest movement around him.His
Chapter NineShe hadn’t called!Daykan was lying down in his apartment at the Moonstruck Estate and trying not to lose his mind.He didn’t need to check the calendar to know that it had been eight days, thirteen hours and twenty three minutes since he had given Naomi his business card.But she still hadn’t called!What the hell was she doing? Had she changed her mind about having him train her or using the gym entirely? Was it something he had done? He should have taken her number!Why hadn’t he taken her number?He knew the answer to that. He had wanted to seem professional. He was such a fool.He wished he could go back to that moment when he handed her his business card and warn his past self.He should have bitten off his tongue instead of saying, “Here’s my card. You can reach out to me when it’s convenient so we can discuss your training sessions and the days you should come in.”It wasn’t even like he had a fancy business card he had been trying to show off. The only thing o
Chapter EightDaykan closed his eyes, used his thumb and forefinger of his left hand to pinch the bridge of his nose and took a deep breath.He wasn’t going to allow Naomi get on his nerves again. He was definitely not getting on this rollercoaster ride of emotions with this obstinate woman.He was going to let this slide and just ignore her comments; which were obviously aimed at getting him all riled up.Yes, yes; that was what he was going to do.He turned around and continued walking to Susan’s office. He didn’t bother to check if Naomi was following him but he could hear her footsteps behind him.This was the right thing to do. He wasn’t going to achieve anything if he let her push his buttons.She was looking for a reaction and he was not going to give her that satisfaction.Just count backwards from 10 to 0 and allow happy thoughts flow through his head.10…Naomi started whistling a jaunty tune but Daykan didn’t turn back at the sound.9…She was just a troublesome woman and w
Chapter SevenNaomi partially recoiled but not enough to pull away from his grasp. A slight tingle went up the hand he was holding and reverberated through her entire body. It felt like she had brushed up against a live wire.She looked down at his hand to make sure that he wasn’t holding one of those little prank buttons that gave the victim a little shock.I think they’re called joy buzzers or something like that. But there was no obstruction between his skin and hers. Wait, had she heard Day right?His grip was loose and it wouldn’t take much effort on her part to shake him off. But it was his words that had a tight hold on her and kept her feet in place.That hold was momentarily solidified when she looked up and stared into his eyes. There was a look of vulnerability in those hazelnut orbs that was at odds with the tough guy aura he exuded; especially after that display of dominance with Tania.It made her want to put his head in her lap, stroke his hair and whisper words of
Chapter SixNaomi could barely breathe. Was this the same man she had been mouthing off to?At the clinic, she had definitely said worse things to him than Miss Cobr.. umm.. Tania over here, but she hadn’t gotten this kind of reaction.Maybe he had been in a good mood then. But a few minutes ago, he had not appeared to be in a terrible mood either.So what in the hell was this sudden switch up? He certainly seemed like a different person and she did not want to be on his bad side. But in spite of all this aggression rolling off him, she did not feel like she was in danger.The initial step back had been a reflex action but she was reassessing the situation now and he did not seem like a threat; at least not to her.Naomi supposed Tania wouldn’t feel the same way because she was obviously the target of his annoyance. She wondered what would happen if Tania did something else that got on his nerves and they were alone. Would he have done more than verbally lash out at her? Did douch
Chapter FiveNaomi was surprised that she felt a little irritated by the strange lady’s rude interruption. Okay! Fine! She was very irritated which was weird because in normal circumstances, she was supposed to be thankful.She was usually in control of her temper. A lot of people would describe her as cool, calm and collected.Plus she knew that as someone in the medical profession, it was ideal to have a lid on her temper; especially since it was likely that her patients would focus on her mood because they couldn’t speak or understand English.She was easygoing and could be sweet as long as no one pushed her buttons; which wasn’t an easy thing to do. There wasn’t a lot that would make her get that angry.But this man! This annoying man!They had met only twice and each time, he had managed to push her buttons like a child with a new video game. He was making her consider taking anger management classes. Maybe she was becoming less tolerant with age or maybe it was solely a proble
Chapter FourDaykan was later than usual because he had made a quick stop to drop off his car at the mechanic’s.He had reluctantly ordered an Uber to the gym. It was probably ridiculous but he felt vulnerable when someone else drove him; it made him feel helpless and he liked being in control.He almost did a happy little dance when they arrived at Sweat It Out’s parking lot and he stepped out. He heard the signature beep of a car being locked and absentmindedly turned in the direction of the sound.“Hmm, a red jeep; nothing out of place about that.” He casually whipped out his phone to rate the driver. It had been a good ride; no forced conversation or awkward comments about the weather, cool music playing in the background, a reasonably careful driv….Wait!A red jeep!Daykan turned again just in time to see a woman’s back disappear through the entrance. He inhaled deeply and only caught a sliver of the scent because he was standing downwind, but it was more than enough.It was a
