Chapter 32
Thunder rumbled loudly and the lightening flashed brightly in the sky emitting dangerous rays rays of light. The atmosphere was inevitably dangerous. Everywhere was pitch dark.
The wind blew their clothes and hair and Dora suddenly hugged herself like the other girls.
“We have to leave Talia cried out.
The thunder rumbled like the hungry stomach of a child and soon it began pouring like the sky opened and heaven let loose of its contents. Everyone was left soaked to the bones just standing there.
Naomi who was standing still, eyes still fixed on the edge of the cliff where the inpostor had just jumped off like she was climbing the step of another staircase, suddenly shook out of her reverie when Daniel grabbed her.
“We have to leave..now He roared loudly so he could be clearly heard over the pouring rain.
Everyone made to turn, ready to shift and run back all the way to the pack if they had to when suddenly they heard a loud growl from below the cliff. It was so loud that Daniel and Naomi who were closer to the edge slipped under the rumble and fell to the ground.
The others made to run to the pair and help them but the rain fell fast and formed a huge mud puddle around which caused them to slip and fall in heaps on the ground, rendering them useless and helpless.
Another growl erupted from below and Daniel rose, ready to help Naomi up, his hands stretched out Infront of him to take hers.
Naomi stretched out her hands, ready to take his when suddenly Daniel’s hand fell to his side and like the others who were on the ground, looked up with wide eyes and mouth so wide, their jaws could fall to the ground at something behind her.
Another loud growl erupted but this time, it was louder…almost like whatever had been growling below was closely behind her.
Naomi turned and with eyes completely wide with petrification, crawled back on her hands, trying to get up but the mud kept her hands slipping from underneath her weight.
Before them was a huge, black, body scaled snake with a barbed-tail. Supporting its weight on the air with two mighty wings, so large it could close upon the entire group, a large wisp of smoke smelling of smoke and sulphur erupted from its large nostrils blowing Daniel back to land on the floor just beside his friends.
Noami was left on the ground face to face with the dragon. Huge honey colored eyes almost fed on her soul from hers.
Her eyes were widened on seeing the enormous like looking creature and huge wingspan. There were two horns on its head which pointed backwards; towards its wings. Those familiar dark gold eyes had become huge and colder, darker almost like fireballs were threatening to shoot at her from them.
The rain beat down on all of them and the thunder noisily rumbled over the air as it turned, flying away at such magnificent speed, its huge wings flapping nosily, Killing any bird who it happened to hit, its claws from from the hind and fore limbs destroying trees as it flew by.
For a minute, everyone just stayed still, not moving, not daring to breath until the dragon flew out of vision.
Naomi’s heart clenched in a funny way. For some reason she felt…bloodlust…hot boiling bloodlust emanating from her body as if she had missed an opportunity to kill something.
She got up first and turned to the others who were looking at her In horror, shock and awe.
Feeling embarrassed and for some reason, feeling at fault, she lowered her gaze to the ground.
“I’m sorry.” With that, she ran off, the rain still pouring hard.
“Naomi Daniel yelled, not hesitating for a second to get up and run after her.
“What was that?!” Daniel asked kelvin as he ran after Naomi.
“You don’t know p>
He rolled his eyes.
“If I did know, would I be asking you p>
“Hey hey. There’s no need to shout, okay? That was a dark kitsune p>
“A what? Aren’t Kitsunes foxes or something and aren’t… they extinct. Why am I hearing this now p>
“Yes but that one’s a powerful Kitsune, probably with about 100 tails. A Kitsune’s rank or power is determined by the number of tails. You must have a tail to be able to turn human while you must have about 10 to shape shift and about a 100 to turn into a dragon”
Kitsunes were legendary enemies of werewolves. Though they had gone into hiding after a treaty with the two creatures and had almost been forgetten.
Why was one suddenly in their territory. What did she want?
And how come Naomi sensed it was an impostor?
“Is Naomi, a werewolf? I need to know”
“I can’t say she’s not one,” Kelvin began. “But I can’t say she’s one either. I don’t even think she knows who she is exactly. Couldn’t you see the confusion in her eyes. Whatever you do, don’t push her to admit anything yet Daniel and whatever plans you have to reject her, I think you should put that on hold”
“Why? If I don’t, the mate bond gets stronger. I most definitely do not want to be attached to a mate. I’m a lone wolf p>
You could imagine Kelvin rolling his eyes.
“We don’t even know if she can feel the bond or if she’s a werewolf. She could be a Hybrid. You don’t know…so put it on HOLD”
Daniel sighed irritably and increased his pace after Naomi, his dark blue eyes visible through the wet locks of black hair that fell over them.
“Naomi?” Marcy blinked severally like she couldn’t believe who walked into the kitchen from the backdoor, dripping wet with water. She ran upstairs in a haste like she didn’t wish to speak with anyone.
Before Marcy and the Omegas, who were helping in the kitchen, could get over the muddy footprints on the ground, eight teenagers followed suit, as if struggling to get the last piece of cake on a table, they rushed past the kitchen, bolting for the stairs.
Marcy gasped in horror at the mess on the kitchen floor. Dirt, water…were all creased on the ground like a muddy mess. Were the young ones actually playing like little children p>
What had really happened?
“Emily,” She beckoned to one of the stand-still, shocked Omegas, “Please clean this up p>
Without waiting for a reply, she dashed upstairs, following the trail of mud. She went straight to Naomi’s room, sure the others would be in their respective rooms, cleaning up.
Naomi gasped when the door burst open. She had just pulled her top off her head along with her mask and was standing there in just her brassiere and joggers.
She didn’t realize she hadn’t locked her door but however was grateful it wasn’t some other person; like Daniel.
“Do you mind telling me what is happening,” She began, shutting the door behind her while Naomi staggered back with horror stricken eyes.
How would she begin? Where would she even start from?
Late morning when the older guests had gone to the spa to relax, the males exercised their strength and dominance in the game room and the youngsters had left for the fields, Marcy had reprimanded her for not informing her about she and Daniel’s location last night, early enough.
Soon, the Omegas trooped in by afternoon to prepare the lunch and dinner. Naomi had helped, later getting Marcy’s approval to leave when she was ready to go to the fields and drop off lunch for the others.
However, She wasn’t prepared for what (or who) she saw.
