13 Why can't she reveal her face

Marcy didn't seem to have a clue of what was going on. Perhaps she had forgotten all about keeping Naomi's identity a secret, the excitement of going shopping with her nephew for the first time in a long time over riding her other thoughts.

Her eyebrows shot up and her warm smile slowly faded in worry as she stared at Naomi who stood still like a non-living object, looking at her nephew in shock, unmoving.

"Naomi….". She calmly called out, about to reach forward for her shoulder, probably to snap her out of her reverie. Her next move shocked her however.

Naomi turned around like a bolt!!!, backing the two just before Daniel glanced up at her.

Marcy had to step back at the sudden movement, blinking severally, forcing herself together before she fell apart at the shock of her slithering movements.

What was she doing

She heard her Nephew mutter some incoherent words and sigh in irritation.

"Honey, are you okay?". She asked softly, wondering what she was wearing in a haste.

"I'm fine aunt". Daniel heard her say In the small sweet voice of hers that could melt hot dark chocolate in his mouth.

She finally turned and her eyes locked with Marcy's. Her lips parted in surprise and then realization of what she had done.

"I have a question aunt. Tons actually". He glanced at Marcy before glaring at Naomi who lowered her eyes to the ground.

Marcy hid her quivering lips by cupping her hand over her mouth , feigning a small cough.

"Is this really the right time".

"I will soon be made Alpha of the pack, I deserve to know every single person in the pack , especially". His eyes grew cold and their eyes locked before she cast her eyes down again. "If the person happens to live under the same roof with me".

Marcy cleared her throat.

"Daniel…honey she could have a reason , Okay?".

"I just think it's stupid. Why can't she reveal her face. She's not as Interesting as she thinks".

"I never said that". She cut in harshly and kept mute when his cold eyes landed on hers again.

"So what's up with wearing a mask or a hoodie …are you a spy". He walked closer before Marcy could stop him but Naomi reflexively backed away, hands up, holding her mask. "Have you been sent from the rival pack to spy on us..Or are you a witch maybe. That could explain why you have no wolf. Tell me!!!". He yelled harshly, grabbing her arm so suddenly that she almost fell on her face.

She gasped and her skin burned HoT where his hand was placed and she almost melted into a puddle at his suspiciously narrowed blue eyes and piercing gaze. Her heart hurt at his accusations. Why was he so cold?

Marcy stepped in between them and Daniel backed away, rolling his eyes at her dramatic act of spreading her arms to part them.

"I swear Daniel….". Kelvin starts. "If you hurt her, I'll retract to the back of your mind and neverrrr come out and you know what that means".

The young Alpha's gaze fell on the arm he had held. It was so red and he had barely exerted any pressure on it. Gosh!! This girl was such a weakling. So fragile.

Then again, she did pull off a wonderful stunt yesterday by giving him a fatal blow in his area.

His expression darkened and he gritted his teeth at the memory. One way or the other, she was going to pay for that.

Marcy was panting hard and she stared at them with a complicated look. These two people glaring at each other were the most inseparable pair she had met back then. Life could really mess up the future.

"I will not tolerate such violence Daniel!!! I've known her my whole life. She's been working here as a kid. She's part of the pack and being wolfless doesn't mean she could be another creature, do you understand?".

"A kid? But I never met her. The only person I knew working as kid back then was…".

His voice trailed off and Naomi's eyes softened on seeing the pain that flickered in his eyes before it instantly grew cold again.

"Daniel". Marcy cut in when the atmosphere turned tensed. "We have a long day ahead of us and if I must remind you, your ceremony's next tomorrow. We have just today and tomorrow to prepare".

"Then why are we here". He asked, looking around the small room with half closed eyes, boredom laced in his tone.

Marcy held Naomi's arm and smiled at her.

"Come in Daniel". She said and walked inside the room, hands Infront of her, leaving Daniel and Naomi to stare at each other at the door.

He scoffed when he realized he was wasting his time just staring at her and made his way into the room, his shoulders brushing roughly against hers which caused her to back away.

She turned and silently glared at him.

He had not only become cold.

He's such an arrogant, over bearing teenager.

She reluctantly made her to the pair and stood before Marcy who made herself comfortable on the edge of her bed while Daniel leaned against the wall, his foot holding his weight back from the wall, his arms folded in an arrogant gesture.

"You can't just…put your foot against the wall. You'll leave your dirty footprint there". She said irritably, pulling out a note pad and pen percording to Marcy's Instruction.

"This is my house. I can do whatever I want". He replied nonchalantly.

Marcy sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose when another verbal argument ensued between the two.

"It's my room".

"Your room..in my house. My room".

Her cheeks burned bright red with anger.

"You conceited over bearing…".

"What did you just say". He leaned forward, putting his leg and arms down, ready to come at her again, eyes flashing with hostility.

"That's enough!!!". Marcy raised a hand, stopping him in his tracks. "Not another word from you two. Daniel it's her room. You can't come into my room and do whatever you like so you shouldn't do the same in hers. Naomi..you are not to talk back to your Alpha". She glared at Daniel. "Irrespective of his actions".

Daniel walked to the window and backed them, arms fisted at his sides.

Marcy sighed and rolled her eyes.

"These are the list of things I'd like to buy today. So put them down. We need to make a big feast for the ceremony. Two more packs will be joining us for the Alpha naming ceremony. Alpha Justin of the Moon Howler's pack and Alpha Koan of the Crescent Moon's pack".

The notepad had a line drawn at the centre to differentiate the list of things to buy for the feast and the list of people coming for the ceremony.

Daniel rolled his eyes at the mention of Alpha Justin. His eyes did widen on hearing what his aunt said next.

"They won't be coming alone. So I made sure I called. I want everything to be ready before they get here. Alpha Justin would be present with one of his wives,his mate, Luna Ciara and one of his daughters, Dora".

The name was like a bucket of ice cold water splashed on his head.

He turned and announced in a clear voice.

"No!!! She can't come!".
