Chapter 30 When she woke up the next morning Naomi was initially unable to figure out what the heavy, warm thing draped across her stomach was, or what the soft breathing noise was next to her. Opening her eyes she turned her head to see Theon sleeping soundly next to her. Quietly she started moving his arm from her body but as she turned her head in the other direction she let out a small scream of surprise. Standing next to her bed and eye to eye with her was Alex, holding his stuffed wolf smiling at Naomi. God kids can be creepy she thought. "Did Daddy have a sleepover" Alex asked in his innocence At that moment Naomi became very aware of two things. One she was naked under the bed sheet and two Theon was wide awake and instead of removing his arm he was holding her closer. "Yes" answered Naomi "he was very tired. We have the drs this morning so go into your room and I'll come get you ready" she said eager to get her son out of her room so she could put on clothes and create some kind of illusion of a barrier between her and Theon. As Alex walked out of the room Theon started to leave soft kisses on her bare shoulder. "Oh no you don't" she said as she wiggled out of his hold and got out of bed. Theon looked at her and pouted a little. "I have to take Alex to the specialist in an hour, make yourself useful and make some coffee" she said as she picked up his pants and threw them at him, as she walked off to the bathroom to shower. Half hour later everyone was in the kitchen dressed and ready, Alex sat eating his cereal. Theon couldn't take his eyes off him. It was like if he stopped looking ta him for a moment he might disappear. Naomi watched the pair of them interact and felt like she had done the right thing. "So can I come with you?" Theon asked "Sorry?" Naomi asked realising she had been so far away she missed part of his conversation "I was asking if I can come to the specialist. I meant what I said about wanting to be there for you for everything. I'd like to speak to his specialist." "Of course" Naomi replied, surprised at how good it felt hearing him wanting to come and support and be there for Alex. Theon looked at Naomi and he could sense in that moment something had changed, and she was no longer seeing him as the bad guy who hurt her and the flicker of hope he had been feeling became a fire instead. The only thing now was getting her to come home. The pack was such a sore point with her he was going to have to tread very carefully. 1/2 hapter +15 Bonus For him the pack was his life. Since he was a child, he was destined to be the next Alpha, so he had always been treated with respect and revered by everyone there. Everyone was his friend and bent over backwards for him. To him the pack was one big family. When Theon realised Naomi was missing, he had interrogated almost every member of the pack to see if they knew where Naomi could have gone and that's when he realised, she had been really isolated and alone. No one there really knew her, and she was overlooked by everyone. Even when the spell broke some people refused to believe she was meant to be the Luna and were against his continued search for her as they couldn't see any value in her. The thought of these people's reactions made Theon's blood boil. He and his wolf had to be physically restrained several times. Between their indifference and the incident with the border guards it was going to take a lot to convince Naomi that the pack could be a home for the three of them. Theon wasn't going to back down without a fight. A lot had happened there that she didn't know about and he needed her help to put it right. What Theon didn't know is that Naomi knew that the pack needed her help. She'd known for some time. The visions the goddess had sent Lottie and the tales of her sons destiny from the Seer told a tale of people in a desperate place who needed the power of both the goddesses descendant's and the child of the Alpha and the silver wolf. 2/2
