Storm's POV" What do you mean?" I frowned, confused. I didn't understand what he was talking about."All the talk about flowers that you were having with Marie. You don't like gardening and flowers."" How do you know that?" I questioned."I'm your mate, I've never seen you gush over flowers, there were tons of flowers in your hospital room. And for gardening, we have land at the back of our house, you've never entered there and planted anything." He said, damn, he was quite observant. I couldn't care less about gardening and flowers.I sighed and sat on the couch. "Fine, you caught me. I don't care about those things, I just said it because I noticed that Marie was into them, I need an ally here, and who better than the hosts." I batted my eyes and smiled at him. Noah calmed down and his shoulders shook with laughter. " You're quite devious. What you did was dishonest but very smart. I would never have thought about that in a million years." " I know it was dishonest but I had to d
Storm's POVThe Olympics started in full force the next day. It started with the junior category with races. I made Noah take me to meet our team before the races started. I got some protein shakes for them on the way to the stadium that Gold Peak pack had rented for the events."Hey everyone. How are you guys doing today, are you ready for your first competition?" I said cheerfully as I entered their locker room. I acted like it was all rainbows and sunshine but I was filled with anxiety for them but I couldn't show it. The junior category was for teenagers so most of them were closer to my age or even my agemates. "Hi, Luna. We are so pumped and excited. What do you have there?" A pretty brunette said. I wasn't sure if her name was Sonia or Sofia, I couldn't remember."I've got some protein shakes for everyone. You guys are going to need all the energy boost you can get." I handed the bag to an African American boy with purple-dyed hair. He collected it with an excited smile and b
Storm's POVEveryone stood up immediately and bowed to the Queen. Amber was red in the face, she fidgeted with her fingers and stared at the ground. Queen Claire stood in front of her and crossed her arms over her chest, her perfectly shaped eyebrow was arched."I thought I was talking to a living being. Are you making me wait, Luna Amber?"Amber raised her head and shook it frantically, " Of course not, I just wanted you to get settled in the room. My Queen, this is a bash for the Lunas, I wasn't aware that you were coming." " Am I not a Luna? If I remember correctly, a Luna is the mate of the Alpha, my mate is the head of all Alphas and so that means I'm the head of all Lunas, so I'm a Luna. I have every right to be here and don't try to change the subject. Answer my question." She snapped at her. I was shocked to see this side of her, Queen Claire was always so kind and soft-spoken. Damn, I didn't want to get on this woman's bad side.Amber gulped and I could see the tears gatheri
Noah's POVI stood outside the royal quarters mentally preparing myself for the impromptu meeting that the king had called for. It was odd for King Benedict to call a meeting without at least a day's notice. The guards moved aside as they saw me, I knocked on the gold-plated door and waited."Come in." I opened the door, and the cool air hit my face as I stepped my feet into the suite, the aroma of lavender oil and cinnamon filled the air, it was an odd blend but it worked. Queen Claire was seated on a plush velvet chaise, she was flipping through the pages of a Vogue magazine. I bowed in respect."My queen, good evening." She smiled and closed her magazine." Hello Alpha Noah, it's good to see you. How has the competition been treating your pack?"" The competition has been good so far, we are in the lead." I looked around the room, trying to see if I can get a glance of King Benedict, I didn't have anything against Queen Claire but we didn't have much in common."Good, good, good.
Storm's POV The loud cough shook us and we broke apart immediately. I turned to see Caleb standing at the door of the now-empty locker room. My hands immediately went to my rolled-up top and I struggled to drag it down.Noah pushed me behind him and stood tall, towering over me. "Yes? How can we help you?" His voice thundered." The next race is about to start and the others are asking for you guys." Caleb's voice sounded odd, I could hear him shuffling on his feet. He was probably very uncomfortable to have caught us in such a compromising position."Alright, you can leave, we'll be there shortly." Caleb didn't wait for Noah to finish speaking before he raced away from the room. I couldn't help myself and I burst into laughter. Noah turned, and his eyebrows were furrowed."What's so funny?""I think we might have traumatized Caleb for life. I don't think he'll ever be able to look at us the small way again." I laughed harder. I felt bad for him but the way he ran was just too hila
Storm's POV"How dare you? How dare you talk to me, you uncultured bitch. I will teach you a lesson." She struggled to release herself but I held her tightly." Boo hoo, cry me a river, I've heard these words so many times from different people and I'm still kicking. Don't fuck with me, Amber. I'm not one of your minions that will take your villainous attitude, I will fight back." I pushed her back and she fell to the ground."Lastly, I never want to hear you utter my mate's name again. Let this be the first and last time you accuse him wrongly, BITCH." I hissed at her and strut out of the room. Marie hurried after me, calling my name, I wanted until we were far from the lounge area before stopping."WHAT?" I placed my hands on my hips and scowled at her. I knew deep down that I wasn't angry with her but I couldn't help myself, I saw her as one of them."Storm, I'm so sorry for what Amber did, I defended you and told them that they were wrong to accuse you. I've never been so angry w
Storm's POVI woke with a splitting headache, oh goddess why did I have to drink so much last night? I tried to find a more comfortable position on the bed but It was no use since my head didn't let me move. I heard legs shuffling around but I couldn't open my eyes to see who it was. Noah's pine smell hit my nose and I relaxed. He tapped my right leg, " Hey sleepyhead, it's time to wake up. You have to compete today." His words sent a chill down my spine, I had to compete today. I couldn't compete, not with this raging headache."I can't, leave me alone to die," I whined and stretched on the bed, snuggling into the duvet.He tapped me again. "Come on now, you can die after your competition. I didn't ask you to get shit-faced drunk last night. You should have stopped yourself because of today's competition."" Ah, I couldn't, I was pissed at Amber and needed an outlet. The alcohol was there, it was calling out to me." I sniffed and rubbed my still-closed eyes."Well, you should have
Noah's POVI watched as Storm's eyes closed and her breathing became steady, I couldn't do anything to stop her from falling unconscious. I raced into the boxing arena with an unconscious Storm in my arms. The anchor was calling out the names of the Lunas competing, he stood when he saw me."Help, I need a doctor now." The hall was silent for a minute. I looked around in disbelief, were these people fucking deaf. I placed Storm on the platform and turned to look at them"I said I need a doctor, can't you people see that my mate is unconscious?!" I yelled, chaos filled the hall instantly and people became talking, shouting, or running. Two men and a woman ran down to meet me. They were holding bags with them."Excuse me, Alpha Noah, I'm Doctor Kelly from Gold Peak pack. What happened to the Luna?" The first man said, I barely paid a glance to him, I dragged him to meet Storm." Alpha, I'm Doctor Peace from Strong Blood pack." The woman said." Alpha, I'm Doctor Xander from Gold Peak pac
