e ride back to the pack was smooth but uncomfortable.

Every now and then, I would glance at Zeke, expecting him to look at me.

He didn't. I couldn't tell Kyle anything because there were ears in the truck. I turned to replace Scar's glare on me instead

"You're the Luna's daughter, huh?"

I clicked the roof of my tongue in irritation. It was obvious my mother wasn't their role model, Luna. I was at the receiving end. A not-so-desirable end. "And you are scar. The leader of the Z patrol team."

He blinked. "So?"

I chuckled, loving how the conversation was going the way I wanted. "Okay, let's compromise. I won't insult you if you don't insult me. Deal?"

Scar exchanged serious glances with the men before they all burst out into mocking laughs. "No deal. You, on the other hand, will learn how to bridle your tongue with time." "Do you know who I am?" Naya fumed from inside of me.

"We have the purple lady to back us up. Let's give him another scar on the side of his face."

I shook my head while narrowing my eyes on Scar's smirking face. He knew what he was doing. He wanted me to be worked up so Zeke and Kyle would have no option but to punish me. My status wasn't yet known to the pack, so they could do anything to me. ******g cowards.

"I don't think that's a good idea, Naya. I can't feel the purple lady, which means she's not in support of your thoughts."

"You are just across Zeke might actually allow them to punish you."

"He is a jerk." Naya muttered.

. "I will speak to Flame when

the time comes. This night, preferably, to remind him what a jerk his host is."

"I snorted to the annoyance of Scar. He didn't look pleased at my outburst. "Oops, he may think I was talking to him."

Naya rolled her eyes to the heavens. "Let him think whatever he wants. I just want my peace. Zeke is depriving us of a good night's sleep. You think he is sexually frustrated or something?"

tilted my head. "You could be right, my dear. Unless he is just bothered about his pack. Let's face the truth: we acted rashly by venturing into a rival pack. We didn't even ask questions as to why we would be invited in the first place." "What's her name?" Scar's voice filtered into my conversation with Naya.

"Huh?"

"He's asking about me. Tell him my name." Naya was ready to come out and punch him herself. "Let me take over. It's been a while."

I shrugged. "What could go wrong?" I took a deep breath, allowing Naya to take over my system

"Woah, your eyes have changed. Are you that pissed?" Scar mocked

1 facepalmed at his choice of words. What is his problem with me? I have asked a lot of times, and I can't even get an answer. "My name is Naya."

Scar paused for a while. "You are her wolf?"

Naya bobbed her head up and down. "Now mister. What's the name of your wolf?"

"Scar." Scar grunted. "We bear the same name, so you can't tell us apart."

Naya smiled. "Alright, Scar. What is your problem with me?"

Scar scoffed. "I don't have a problem with you, lady. You didn't have to show yourself. I was speaking with the other Naya."

Naya shook her head. She wasn't taking his insults anymore. "I think we need to tell him what he needs to hear."

I frowned, worried she would go overboard. "And what does he need to hear? Wait, are you planning to blackmail him emotionally?"

"Don't be ridiculous. You know I am good at those things."

Naya yawned to show how bored she was.

"Are you yawning right now?" Scar asked, baffled beyond my comprehension. He must have a problem with me.

Naya was done with his s**t, and her body posture said so.

"Okay. I will ignore all this bullshit and attribute it to your failure of duty. You know what? You are the beginning of my pain. The moment you decided to let the Alpha fight all alone. That was it."

If a pin dropped, I would have heard it. "Naya! What's your problem? I told you not to emotionally blackmail him. We have to control our anger and have manners."

"That's the lie everyone has been telling you. We both know that we aren't that kind." Naya sighed.

"What did you just say to me?" Scar's eyes flashed black, back and forth. He was getting angry. "What do you know about me?"

Naya raised an eyebrow. "What do you know about me?" She said it like a gangster, her heat nearly beating out of our chests. She was brave in the front, but just as cowardly as I was. Jeez... Naya. "What makes you think you can judge me because of my mother?" I asked, looking at everyone intensely. "Do you know that I haven't seen her in over five years of my life? The day I saw her was the day after my father's burial. She came to tell me that I was part of the manor. I didn't want to go, but she said the Alpha wouldn't want to hear that."

There was still silence. I loved it. They should all listen to Naya speak. She was just as free as they were. "I know the reason why you are acting like this. Trust me, I have had it tough. I am an omega. You know what that means, right?"

No one acknowledged my question, and I nodded. It was the perfect reaction. "So, you don't know anything about me, you don't have what it takes to survive in a community where you are an omega; you have had it nice all your life. The simple fact you weren't there for the Alpha was no one's fault, so quit acting like a baby and behave like the leader you are."

I didn't know when Naya left, leaving me to fill the void. The darkness enveloped her, and I knew I wouldn't be seeing her for a long time. She would be somewhere, nursing her wounds. The wounds Scar chose to open again because of *his stupid act. I expected more from the warriors in the pack. They were just as miserable as we all were.

"I am sorry." Scar began after a while. He was expecting to see Naya when he raised his head. I was just there, looking at him. Guilt was written all over his face, and his eyes dimmed. "I wasn't teasing you because you were an omega or any of that s**t. I just wanted to tease you." He gave me a pointed look. "You remind me of my sister. I lost her in a fire accident."

I frowned. "Would you want to punish your sister?" I hate to sound insensitive, but that was how I felt. Would he want to punish his sister for asking him questions or defending herself? "You have always had it out for me since I came here, and frankly, the rest of you just follow his lead. I expected better."

Kyles hand was on mine instantly. It wasn't visible to the public, but I felt his comfort. They made me relax.

"We weren't planning to punish you, Naya Cod. You're the Luna's daughter. You escorted the Alpha. Clearly, you are his guest." His chuckles rang out, and the rest of them joined him. Suddenly, they did not look harmless. "You speak like a leader. We were just shocked, that's all." The compliment didn't go past my head. I speak like a leader. Elder Rosalie told me I was without manners. I waved it off. If she said I needed to learn, maybe I needed to learn. "I don't think I speak like a leader. I only try to defend myself with my mouth whenever I feel threatened.

My first impression of you guys was fear, so I had no option but to act mannerless. I respect you a lot, so I am going to apologize first." Scar frowned.

"What for? Naya is right. I ruined everyone's

life."

"Oh, please stop with the emotions. It's making some people act like fools." Beta Brooke interrupted. "Scar, Naya is sorry for saying bullshit about you. Naya, Scar is a warrior; you should respect him. He wouldn't disrespect me for no reason. Are we cool?" I nodded. "Yes, I am cool." It took a while for Scar to respond.

"Scar?" Beta Brooke called to check why he was yelling his understanding

"Yes, Beta."

"Good."

I turned to replace Zeke and Kyle's eyes closed. Their heads rested on the arm's seat. They were both asleep. It was fast I raised my dress to my body to sniff. I stinked.

"We are almost home, so you will bathe soon." Kyle muttered as if he knew what he was worried about. I looked like a princess from a wolf apocalypse.
