But when dark secrets come to light and alliances shift, Naomi must summon all her strength to confront her greatest adversaries.

Prepare to be swept away into a world where loyalty is tested, betrayals run deep, and redemption is difficult to achieve.
View MoreI was quite nervous as I racked my brain thinking of what I'd say when he opened the door.“Good morning. You look nice.” I said. I was practicing right there at the door. “No, that's horrible. What should I say?”I knocked again, this time a little louder, hoping he would open the door. I was so nervous that I was literally shaking.“Who's there?”“It's me.” I muttered.“Naomi?” He asked from inside and the fact that he knew it was me from the sound of my voice, marveled me. He didn't open the door immediately but I heard him running around noisily in his room.“Seriously?” I muttered again.“Hello.” He gave a smile when he finally opened the door. “Sorry for keeping you waiting.”“Yeah.” I must have stared for some seconds before coming back to my senses. “I brought you food.” I offered him the food.“Oh. For me?” He collected it.I scratched my head in confusion on what to do now. “Okay. Bye.”I was glad he didn't let me go. “I'm actually not very busy inside, I don't know if you w
“Naomi, you need to calm down. Enjoy the moment, just like Laura. That girl should be your role model when it comes to having fun.” I smiled when I said these words to myself.I got down from the bed and dressed properly, then went to the window. It was such a beautiful sight and the sun was doing the most. It gave the sky a dark blue color that brightened the day and made me smile.“This will be a good day.” I breathe deep, in and out like I was meditating.I went into the bathroom and quickly brushed my teeth, washed my face and gently cleaned it. For a moment, I considered using a little makeup on my face but I decided against it when I realized I was doing it because I wanted Thorne's compliments which he obviously wouldn't give me since he was with a new girl.Was this jealousy in me? I have actually never been jealous when it comes to men so I didn't know what this feeling was.I changed into something comfortable and catchy, something that would draw Thorne's attention to me.“
I helped my mum have a nice bath and go to sleep. She needed the rest.“Will you sleep by me?” She asked, making a space with her hands for me on the bed.“Yes, I'll happily do that.” I replied. “I'll take my shower and I'll come join you.”She nodded and smiled at me. I remember those days when I was very young, I would always cuddle up in her bed but when I was growing up, I had my own room so I didn't get the chance to do all that.I unpacked the few clothes I had. Nothing was fitting to wear in this Palace so I had to go to my previous room to get some clothes.My room wasn't that far from my mother's room, so I walked down, careful not to make a sound. I wondered what happened to my room when I left. Maybe they used it as storage or to trash old items.Surprisingly, the door wasn't locked as I expected so I opened it quietly. To my suprise, it was still as beautiful as it used to be before I left.“Wow.” I was amazed that my room has been kept intact since I left. I put my finger
At first, I wondered who she was asking but then I remembered that there were just two males at the dining table. Alpha-king Magnus and Thorne and she was certainly not asking her father that.I looked up to Thorne from my plates, eagerly waiting for his response.“Me? Well, no. I don't. ““Oh..” Kiara replied and I knew the sound she made. She was interested in Thorne and would ask me later to help her woo him.I didn't know why but I was disappointed with Thorne's answers, even Laura looked up at me to see my reaction. I couldn't look at him anymore.Was I really supposed to be angry? Truly, Thorne wasn't my boyfriend even though we kissed and shared intimate moments together. So I shouldn't be upset right?It was at this time that I realized that Thorne never knew that I was his mate. How was that possible? He should have an idea that I was his mate.Does it mean that whatever we have going on now was a joke? Was I the one who really liked him while he didn't like me? My mind was m
“Naomi!”The screams made me turn towards the right and there they were. People I used to call family, my mother, the girls, Aunt Rachel and then Alpha-king Magnus.They all stood looking at me. We were all different and didn't know what to do. It was as if they were all waiting for me to say a word before we could finally move.Anita came forward first, she held her arms out for a hug. “You're finally back, you're welcome.”She gave me a tight hug which I returned knowing that she must have missed me just the way I missed her.“Mummy, It's Naomi. She's back.” Anita turned to confirm to them that it was actually me and not my ghost as they thought I was.“Naomi.” Kiara came forward for her own hug, she smelled so good and I wasn't surprised. She was the beauty queen. “I'm glad that you're back.” She told me.Then Cleo came forward, her hug was quick because she was always trying to be mature. “You've grown so lean.”I smiled as I remembered how she'd act like our mother and kept scold
“Don't just leave like that. You scared me.” I told him. “Okay.” He frowned at me like I wasn't making sense or like I was losing my senses.“What?” I asked as both Laura and Thorne stared at me.“Your acting weird.” Laura responded.“I am?” “Yes. You scared me to death when you started screaming like that.” Laura told me and I thought maybe I had over dreamt. “Did you have a bad dream?” Laura questioned me. “No.” “Okay. I'm going to wash my face so we can continue with this journey.” She left us and went her way. “Are you okay?” Thorne asked, looked at me and went ahead to arrange the log of wood he wanted to use to roast the fish he got. “Nothing.” I answered. I was only worried about him, why did they make it look like it was an abomination or an act of stupidity? Maybe he thought I was stupid when I gave him that hug. “Everything okay? You seem deep in thought.” He asked again when he had put the fish on fire he had set with sticks.I nodded. “Just thinking about home.” I
“Naomi? Are you okay?” Chad dropped the bow and arrows, immediately running to me. He was joined by Thorne who discovered immediately what just happened.Thankfully, the arrow didn't hit me but flew past me.“I'm sorry, Naomi. That was supposed to hit that old bottle.” He said, looking really apologetic.“Don't be, I wasn't looking at where I was going.” I answered him and glanced at Thorne who had concern written all over his face. He was the reason I had gotten into this situation, how could someone be so good looking so early in the morning?“I'm sorry.” It looked like he was going to cry.“Are you okay?”I nodded then bent to my knees to talk to Chad. “You don't have to be.” I used my hands to raise his chin so he could look directly at me. “I see you're learning well.” I said, trying to cheer him up.“I'm learning how to shoot an arrow. You think I'm doing well?” He jumped up in excitement when I nodded my head to reply yes.“You can go on and practice more.” Thorne told him and
We went to meet Diane after having breakfast so I could tell her about the gift I had discovered and about my intentions of going to Ice crest park.“Can I go with you?” “Yes, you can but I really don't want to keep dragging you around with me. The truth is this is my cross and I have to carry it myself. I would be a bad friend if I just cared about myself and not your intentions.”“What are you talking about? I want to do this. I want to go with you. This would be so much fun.” I gave her a stare.“I know, I know. This isn't about fun but them I'll still have fun while at it. I'll like to meet your mother, finally.” Diane was with some of the elders when we arrived so we had to wait. The weather didn't look happy in any way. I hadn't seen Thorne this morning but I searched around silently with my eyes. “Searching for Thorne?” Laura asked me. She must have caught me looking around. One thing with Laura was that she missed nothing. Whenever I have tried to hide things in the past,
I felt glad when we were done dancing.“That was one hectic dance move you should do there.” He said as he took me home.I laughed trying to figure out if he was teasing or mocking me. I wanted to let Thorne know that I might be leaving to Ice Crest to go home and bring back my mother here but I needed to speak to Diane first about it.“And those balls of fire you blew. Amazing.” I shouted. “You literally blew my mind today.” I was honest to Thorne.“I'm so glad I was able to do it. Trust me, I want to do more than blowing your mind away.” He said and we burst out in laughter.“Whatever you mean by that.”“I don't even know why I said that.” He replied and said goodbye.“Goodbye.” I stood on tiptoe to give him a peak on his cheeks.Later that night, when we had gone back to the clan, I wanted to speak to Laura but I found out she had gone to sleep earlier, I knew she wanted so much to hear I have to tell her.Going back to Ice crest was going to be traumatic for me. That was the past
