Chapter 96
Tears dropped down Naomi’s eyes, rolling down her cheeks in waves. She growled as she tossed Dora aside before running out the dressing room, her eyes changing to normal blue.
She left all the shopping bags and everything and just ran out.
She didn’t care about the looks she got and just focused on getting far, far away from the mall.
Dora’s lips pursed into a small painful smile before she sat up, cracking her neck and disfigured body parts which went back to place immediately.
She wouldn’t lie.
She was surprised at the power Naomi just exerted over her. It goes as to show just how powerful she could be if she realizes how to use her powers and control it.
She could really pose a threat to the werewolf pack.
The sound of car’s hooting and people cussing from all sides of the road was drowned out by her thoughts, heavy breathings and loud pounding heart as she ran away from the mall.
She didn’t know where she was heading to but running gave her some sense of peace and calmness to her messed up state as she put one leg Infront of her after the other in fast, translational motion, feeling her tears sliding down her cheeks and flying backwards in the wind.
Her feet moved fast as she ran, not an iota of tiredness or weariness appear on her face.
Daniel suddenly bent down against his table, frowning as If he had been shot in the heart.
Barton glanced up worriedly.
“What’s wrong p>
“I don’t know,” Daniel honestly replied, holding his chest while his chair scooched backwards with a loud sound before he dropped to the floor. “It’s like… my heart.. I don’t know… it’s just in so much pain p>
Barton blinked for a while, getting up immediately.
“How? What do you mean? Where exacty does it hurt p>
Daniel swore.
“I don’t know dammit! All I feel is a scorching pain in my heart area and it hurts. It hurts like hell p>
Barton suddenly ran towards the door.
“Naomi p>
He ran out while Daniel glanced at the direction he had just run to with a complicated look, holding his chest.
Marcy stepped out with a phone in a hand when Barton rushed forward with a horrified look on his face, stunning his mother so much that she put the phone away at once.
“Honey what’s wrong??? Where’s Daniel p>
“He’s Fine but… where’s Naomi? I really need to see her p>
She narrowed her eyes at him, wondering why he had on such an alarming expression just because he wanted to see Naomi. Was something really going on?
“I was looking for her a while ago but the Omegas told me she escorted Dora to the mall for shopping p>
Barton’s eyes almost turned red on hearing the name ’Dora p>
What the f**k was Naomi thinking when she accompanied her out.
Only the moon goddess knows what she’s up to that has Daniel sprawled on the floor like a dying man.
“Where’s Daniel? You know what… I’m going to check on him. You two are so good at hiding things from me p>
Barton barred her way, not sure of how his mum would react to Daniel’s situation right now.
“Mum, I assure you, there’s nothing wrong. There’s no need to worry about anything p>
“Why can’t I see Daniel then p>
“Guess who Daniel’s making as his Beta p>
Marcy frowned.
“You p>
Barton blinked.
“How did p>
“It was pretty obvious who he was going to choose” she dragged him in for an unexpected hug which left his arms to hang in the air. “I’m so proud of you p>
He sighed and wound his arms around her.
“Thanks mum p>
There was someone running up the stairs and they looked up to see Naomi.
“Naomi p>
The two pull away from each other as Marcy yelled in shock while Barton’s jaw dropped at the view.
She had red puffy eyes and a disheveled look from her hair downwards and still had tears running down her eyes.
Without a word, she ran forward and lurched herself into Marcy’s arms, crying harder and harder.
The old woman glanced up at Barton with a questioning look of shock before turning to hug Naomi, letting her colar soak up all the tears and snort she had to offer from her deprived state.
Marcy quietly led her into her room while Barton went back to the office, knowing it was better to leave the two alone and check up on his cousin instead.
She and Naomi sat side by side on the bed with a wet mask in-between them. The silence was soul-recking and no one wanted to talk at that moment.
Marcy didn’t want to push her luck by asking Naomi anything which might discomfort her and Naomi didn’t even know what to say. It was as if a sledge hammer was used to slam over her heart over And over again until it shattered and smashed into a million pieces and the tears won’t just stop falling.
Her heart was so heavy.
She had never felt this much pain before.
She subconsciously held the fabric concealing her left breast and squeezed it, closing her eyes.
“I’m sorry but… I really have to ask aunt. Many years ago,” Marcy looked up at her when Naomi began to talk. “When you found Late Beta Ray cheating on you with a she-wolf… how did you feel?” She turned to Marcy whose expression had turned grave. “I want to know. Please.” Her pleading was like a prayer.
Marcy sighed and shook her head as she looked down.
“I could never forget that day… no matter how much he apologized to me even as the years passed. I Forgave him but… I couldn’t forget that feeling. That feeling of abandonment and hate I felt watching another woman close to him. I she slowly cleaned the edge of her eyes. “Standing there, all I felt was hate. I felt that he hated me and he didn’t want me and I don’t know… I just felt every single bad energy I could have ever felt from everyone in my life, just from him. And she touched the same area on her chest where Naomi clutched. “It hurt me p>
So badly that I just wanted to die p>
“That’s why you went into the rogues territory.” Naomi whispered.
Marcy nodded with a small pained smile.
“I was stupid then, believe me. I just wanted to end my misery. I couldn’t bear the pain I felt… the heaviness I felt in my heart so the first thought that crossed my mind was how to put myself out of that pain. At that moment, it hurt me but… as time grew on, I came to realize just how much he loves me and cherished me.” She turned and cupped her hand around Naomi who looked down.
“I know there are things you might not feel comfortable telling me at the moment but I just want to let you know that you don’t need to feel like am outcast. I’m your mother, your sister… your family and I’m here for you no matter what,” her grip on her hand tightened and Naomi managed a smile. “I love you as I would love my own daughter Naomi p>
Naomi smiled and tightened her grip as well. “Thank you so much aunt p>
