Chapter 20 At the same time the two men were discussing her Naomi was arriving at her building and practically running up her front steps. She needed a hug from Alex and some words of wisdom from Lottie before she had a breakdown. The reality of what was happening was starting to sink in and she didn't want to be alone right now. Entering her apartment her heart was warmed by the sight of her little boy sat on the floor playing with his wooden train and beaming up at her as he realised Mommy had walked through the door. To her right Lottie was in the kitchen making two cups of tea. The benefit of going to a seer when you were upset. The tea was already made. "Please Lottie" Naomi said looking her friend in the eye. "Please tell me you didn't know about the bond?" Lottie looked at her sheepishly. "well.... I kinda of knew that you were still bound but I didn't know he was about to walk back into your life until I had a vision. Probably about the same time you two found each other I'd say. Sorry honey, I can imagine that was quite the unpleasant shock."Lottie said as she offered one of the cups of tea to Naomi. As Naomi curled her fingers around the mug she couldn't help but smile at Lottie's understatement. "Yeah. Unpleasant shock is a very polite way to put it. I almost leapt out of my goddam skin. The worst part is I tried to reject him and it still didn't work." Lottie let out a little gasp of surprise at this information. "Wow. Unbreakable fated mates. Not seen that in my lifetime" she looked impressed and awed. "Take that look off your face. My unbreakable bond with the man who broke my heart and let his witch mate almost kill our son is not something to be amazed by" Naomi said looking pissed off, Lottie knew Naomis anger wasn't aimed at her but at how unfair it was that she couldn't break away from Alpha Theon. "How do I hide Alex from him?" Naomi looked lovingly at her innocent little boy sat playing on the floor. It had been hard enough that he looked like his father with the same blonde mop and strong facial featured and living with his shared scent, and knowing how hard all of his fathers' actions had made his life when he hadn't even met him. She didn't even want to think about the damage having the Alpha in his life, could cause him. Naomi sighed. "If I run again I am not going to be able to hide from him am i?"she asked Lottie, "No, not now the bond is flowing again. He can sense you wherever you go. He will always be 1/2 +15 Bonus able to find you." Lottie out her arms around Naomi and drew her into a big hug "I think you have to stop running now and face this head on. Tell him straight, how you feel. How do you feel?" she asked "Goddess, that's the worst part" said Naomi "it was so confusing. I was full of anger and hurt and disappointment but then he put his arms around me and I just wanted to stay there forever. I wanted to forgive him and bring him home to meet Alex and believe it could all be perfect. This mate bond stuff is just toxic I swear. How am I supposed to trust my own decisions and not believe that it's the bond making me feel that way?" "You have to trust it's there for a reason. The moon goddess doesn't make mistakes." Was all Lottie could say in reply. "Bloody seers." Muttered Naomi smiling "I swae you're sponsored by her everytime you say that" At that moment Naomi's phone lit up with a text message Peter: I gave Theon your number. Please don't murder me my wife likes me alive x
