Chapter 14 Several hours later Peter found himself knocking on the inside door for Naomi's apartment. She opened the door and invited him in. The first thing that hit him was the smell of lamb and rosemary cooking. The second was the warmth and comfort with which the living room and open plan kitchen was decorated. All soft yellows and creams the whole place reminded him of warm butter or soft popcorn. "Are you cooking?" he asked "Yeah" said Naomi "I don't have guests over and my son's palette isn't refined to anything other than spaghetti, so cooking an adult meal is a treat for me" Naomi beamed. She looked a lot more carefree and relaxed in her own home. Opening the wine Peter handed her she poured two glasses and motioned for him to sit on the couch. "So, I bet you have some questions" she asked her cousin. "I do, I really do Nai" he said nodding vigorously. "I literally do not know where to start first though. Maybe with your wolf" Naomi had a smug smile on her face and let out a low chuckle clearly enjoying a joke Peter wasn't privy to yet. "Her name is Artemis and she is a direct descendant of the wolf of the moon goddess." She said simply, as if that answered everything "But that's not what I used to see, you had a tiny brown wolf called Lia before" "Nah I never did. Seeing is believing. Close your eyes" she instructed Peter. Doing as she asked a few moments later she told him to open them and when he did Naomi was before him. But not this new sharper, dark haired, fuller, dark eyed Naomi but the beautiful long white haired, blue eyed, pale faced Naomi of his childhood stood before him. "What the hell? How did you do that?" Peter asked in Surprise. Naomi gave a self-satisfied smile. "The same way I changed my scent and disguised my wolf. As my wolf is a descendant of the mood goddesses wolf, I am a direct descendant of the moon goddess herself, and I have a lot of special abilities. I've been keeping a lot of secrets." She said with a wink. "When I was 13, I shifted for the first time and the moon goddess came to me and told me what I and Artemis were and that we would have to hide ourselves until It was the right time and that in the meantime we would need to appear weak and learn all that we could about ourselves and our magic. You know I was tired and ill a lot? It was because i spent so much time either with the moon Chapter 14 +15 Bonus goddess or the guardians she sent me training and learning. I was never given the whole reason for this display to others but when Alpha Theon turned out to be my mate, I was told to keep hiding, even from him as he needed to chose me for me and not any influence a Silver wolf or a me being a goddess descendant may have made on his decision to mate with me. He was tested and failed. Spectacularly."With this last word Naomi added an eye roll for emphasis. "I don't know if he can be entirely blamed for that though" said Peter. "I mean, we found out that Lilian was a witch about 4 months after you left and that the whole pack had been under a spell she placed on him. She had faked a mate bond with him and made everyone believe you were not his real mate. Then one day we all woke up and realised that she truly was and it was all too late and it was a disaster." "I know Lilian is a witch. I knew then what she was. I could feel the venom oozing out of her pores. I couldn't breath around her." Said Naomi "But I couldn't break her spell. Let me guess. You all woke up August 25th three years ago and no one, not even Theon had a clue why she was Luna or why anyone liked her?" "Yes!?" cried Peter in surprise "The day before the Alpha was sick, very sick and then the next morning he woke up fine, but everything had changed. How did you know?" "Ah that would be me breaking her spell." Naomi replied casually "It broke when I died" COIN BUNDLE: get more free bonus 日 Comments Support Share GET IT X +15 Bonus
