Chapter 48 Lucy was looking down at her phone screen and didn't notice the couple walk into the room at first. Sensing them in the doorway she looked up and smiled at them both. "Hey guys" she said sweetly "Looking for Rhys? You just missed him. He's gone for a scan" Naomi let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding. Relief washed over her for a moment until she remembered what had compelled them to come there in the first place. She needed a game plan. Did she confront Lucy straight away or act like nothing had happened and gauge what the woman might know? Deciding the latter option would probably be more effective she plastered a false smile on her face. Turning to Theon hoping he would get the underlying message. "Well we can sit and keep you company while you wait." Naomi offered. "How lovely" said Lucy " we need to make a deal!" Naomi sat in the other chair beside the bed, puzzled by Lucy's words. Was she going to brazenly discuss whatever she wanted in exchange to get Lottie back. "I need you to promise to your brother you will come to our wedding!" the other woman practically squealed with excitement. " He refused to do either a mating ceremony or the wedding without you but he said now you are back, if you swear to be there was can finally plan one" Naomi gave Lucy an appraising look. This woman is either a really great actress or she has no idea that my best friends been kidnapped by her coven and that I am fuming inside, thought Naomi. Lucy seemed all wide eyes and innocence "There is something else" Lucy asked shyly "I know we don't know each other well but I would be honoured if you'd be my maid of honour". Naomi didn't know what to say. Part of her wanted to say you must be fucking joking and slap the smile off the witches' face. Then she thought of her brother, and how happy it would make him so she agreed. "On one condition" Naomi said "No pink. I cannot wear pink" Lucy jumped up and gave Naomi a massive hug, making her skin crawl as the scent of the witch was now on her skin. She just wanted to shower now. The discussion was interrupted by the orderly wheeling Rhys back into his room and popping him back into his bed. "Twice in once day" he grinned at his sister "If I'd know this is what it took to get your attention I'd have gotten ill sooner" he said "Idiot" Naomi muttered rolling her eyes. Theon laughed watching them. It felt good to see them falling back into their old rhythm and patterns. Theon used to love hanging around with them listening to their easy banter and gentle teasing. He noticed Lucy watching them with a smile on her face. It was strange, if Naomi hadn't seen her in the vision he would never, for a second, suspect this woman of being anything other than as she seemed. She smelt like a full wolf, her eyes and face always just radiated love and happiness when she was around Rhys. She had an easy- going manner that was warm and reassuring. But there was no denying the way Naomi seemed to unconsciously react to her. When Lucy moved even an inch closer to her Naomi would flinch and if the other woman touched her she would pull away like she was touched with something slimy. As he stood there watching the strange dynamic between the two women Naomi's phone chimed with a message. She read it and Theon saw a dark look settle on her face. Seconds later she looked at his as his own phone pinged. She had forwarded him the message. Unknown: We have the Seer. If you want her back you will leave the pack now and never come back. You are not wanted here Naomi Clarke. You should have stayed away. Theon looked up from his phone, anger simmering away inside him. Naomi met his gaze a fury in her eyes he hadn't seen before.
