HER ALPHA'S CARNAL SINS
Chapter 207: Eating Kidneys

Chapter 207: Eating Kidneys

Naomi slightly jerked from his touch before clearing her throat, glancing away.

Barton glanced down and his brows twitched when he noticed what was going on behind the table.

’Well, she certainly doesn’t look pale anymore.’ Barton pointed out through the mind link. Naomi was flushed and a had a small red hue to her cheeks.

Daniel smirked before trailing his hand back up to leave it palm-down on the table.

"Can we get this over with?" Harry impatiently asked, furiously tapping his feet against the floor board.

"Why the rush Harry?" Daniel said outloud, the smirk not faltering on his face. "We have time."

The man grumbling, snorted but said nothing still, causing Naomi to tense up when she recognized him.

"I don’t have time." The man mumbled and shut up after the other elders turned to him with sour expressions.

"I hope we can get along in the future." Naomi said after studying him, and Harry turned to her, surprised. "You’re right to be cautious and protective around the Alpha; seeing as I’m the natural enemy, and I respect that very much, but In some cases, when you push too far, you make me want to conclude that you are immature and inconsiderate. Only a complete fool would be scared of someone harmless. I may seem dangerous, but I assure you, I’m better than most werewolves, especially the rouges. I gave my word that I won’t hurt anyone, and that’s what I’m sticking too, and If you still have a problem with me, you should shove your grumblings down your throat and leave."

Everyone’s jaws fell, Including Daniel’s.

Suddenly, she slipped her hand through her mate’s on the table before glancing back up at Harry with a smile on her face.

"He chose me... I didn’t force him. He chose me because he knew I wouldn’t hurt a fly much more everyone one of you without a good reason. I hope we’ve reached an understanding, and maybe in the future you’ll look back at all these and realize there was no use hating me when you could have just given me a chance to prove to you that I could be the Luna you want for the pack."

Harry was speechless for a long time, even when they resumed the meeting, he just kept staring at Naomi like he had swallowed a huge fish.

"Alpha Cardin, you mind linked me. Did you need anything?" Brittany said as she carefully closed the door behind her before entering further into the office.

"Yes. Please have a seat." Alpha Cardin said without glancing up from his laptop.

Once she sat down, placing her legs uncomfortably together, her hands clenched right Infront of her, she patiently waited till he raised his head up, only to feel his eyes scrutinize her like she was an insect.

"Is something wrong?" He suddenly asked and she glanced up.

"I should be asking you the same question. You’ve been staring at me for the past Twenty minutes without saying anything, and if I didn’t know any better, I’d say you were checking me out."

Cardin snorted.

Checking her out? Ridiculous!

"Well, get it out of your mind, idiot. Royce asked me to talk to you, because after this morning, you just started avoiding him. You won’t talk to him, and you won’t even stay in the same room with him."

Brittany just sighed and glanced down, folding her hands, swallowing hard.

"It’s none of my business, and I’m honestly not supposed to care, but Royce is also my friend and not just my Beta, and he won’t concentrate when the reality of his mate avoiding him bugs him every second. I told Talia to talk to you, but I realized she went out of town for shopping. You know she’ll be travelling in a few days and has to get everything in order and check."

"I’m... " She sighed. "I am avoiding him, but it’s not for any other reason you all are thinking about."

"Then why? Why are you hurting him?"

She gave him a look.

"Well, it counts as hurting if he thinks he did something wrong since you’re avoiding him."

"I just want to be sure, okay? I don’t want to make that same silly mistake I made months ago only to shatter everyone’s hopes."

He squinted at her.

"What are talking about?"

She sighed.

"I wasn’t sure from the signs when we were at Foxtune, but when I arrived here, I just decided to confirm my suspicion and... "

"And... "

"I really don’t want Royce to know about this. At least not now... "

"Okay. Fine." He held the space between his brows. "I won’t tell him, damnit! Just tell me what’s bugging you."

"I’m pregnant."

Silence.

The pen he was using to jot down some things from the laptop, slipped from his hand and landed on the ground.

Their gazes still locked, the pen which rolled over the table before it landed with a thud on the floor rolled still till it finally stopped, an inch before Brittany’s shoes.

"You’re what??" He stood up abruptly.

Brittany stood up almost immediately as he did.

"I’m not sure okay??? I plan on going to the hospital to make sure, and not getting everyone’s hopes up like the last time."

Alpha Cardin suddenly crossed over the space between them and enveloped her into a hug.

"You fish... you could have at least just told him... I don’t think he’d mind than you having to avoid him and hurting him feelings for the past several hours.... I’m so happy for you."

She pulled away, touched.

"I didn’t mean to hurt him... I just feel he’ll know if I’m around him... "

"It’s not too late to go to the hospital now. I’ll cover for you."

"Really? You’d do that."

"As much as it will sting to hide this from him for a little time, I don’t mind it either. Just make sure you come back here with positive news." He threatened at the end and she smiled as she ran out of the office. Once she got to her room, she packed a few important things and was already on her way out of the room when she bumped Into...

"Royce!" She gasped.

Royce suddenly grabbed her wrists.

"Brittany... please stop ignoring me. I asked Cardin to talk to you, but he said you couldn’t tell him anything. If it’s something I did, then I’m sorry, but it will make a lot of sense if you tell me what I did wrong. It’s killing me seeing you like this... seeing US like this."

"Royce... " She broke out of his grip. It took all her willpower not to break down seeing him this way, but she retained her resolve and stiffened.

"I have to leave, when I come back, I’ll explain everything, okay?"

"But... "

She cupped his cheek and made to say something, but she just sighed and backed away.

"I’m sorry.. I.. I have to go." With that, she skidded out of the room, past the halls, before arriving outside.

Soon, the sound of a car zooming off was heard and Royce sighed as he turned away from the room before heading to Cardin’s office.

"Any luck?" Cardin asked, not glancing up from where he sat, typing furiously on his laptop.

"No... I just hopes it all turns out for the better when she arrives." Royce sighed again, yanking his hair out in frustration.

Daniel slammed his hand down on the table before the elders got up one by one.

"So that’s it. The day after tomorrow is the Luna’s ceremony. Full moon night. Perfect."

"It’s a shame you couldn’t do a double Luna naming ceremony with Alpha Koan of Crescent Moon’s pack." Elder Simon said as they all headed out.

"Yes... since he’s marked her, there’s no need for a Luna naming ceremony, all he has to do is attend parties and special soirees and other events. An indirect way to inform everyone whom his Luna is... "

"I’m sure most people already know from last night." Daniel said.

"Well, we have some other things to attend to, but thank you all for agreeing to this meeting. It means a lot." Barton announced with a polite smile and led them all through the door with Axle while Daniel and Naomi went upstairs.

"Come on. Change into some other clothes. We’re going cloth shopping now." Daniel announced as he lazily dwindled with his fingers while Naomi sighed.

"Immediately after the meeting?" She whined.

"How come you look so vunerable and cute when you’re with me, but you turn into this prowling tigeress like today when you showed that elder his place... Why can’t you be like that sometimes to me" There was a sparkle in his eyes, and Naomi was sure he meant something else when he said that.

She huffed as she glanced away.

"I’m not cute and vunerable... "

"But just this morning before breakfast, you... "

"I said I’m not." With that, she rushed into the walk in wardrobe to change into a new set of clothes.

Daniel chuckled.

Once Barton retuned to the house, he went straight to the kitchen, opened the fridge, took out a can of soda, popped it open and tilted his head back to drink a generous amount.

When he turned to his side and noticed Axle watching him, he almost choked on his drink.

"Were you here the entire time???"

She nodded.

"The meeting’s over. You can go back to your room... there’s nothing else for you to do." He said, narrowing his eyes at her.

"There’s nothing else for me to do. That’s the problem. Don’t you guys do anything fun here? I can’t start training Naomi until she’s been marked and until then, I don’t know what to do."

He wanted to say yes, but he asked.

"What’s fun in Foxtune?"

"Wild hunting," She declared with a proud Expression. "We delve into the woods, find wild animals, rip out their organs and other important parts. The person who’s got the most parts wins and gets everything to herself."

He almost puked blood.

"You guys eat things like that, don’t you?"

"What else should we eat?" She asked, and what made it more unbelievable was that she wasn’t joking!

Daniel and Naomi suddenly climbed downstairs with Daniel swinging his keys.

Barton suddenly had an idea.

"Trust me..." He threw the can into the recycle bin before grabbing her wrist. "There are pretty much a billion more fun things than eating kidneys."
