Noah's POV
"Training is going well, our younger ones are really trying. I'm surprised at their stamina and agility, I can already see some great enforcers there. We might win a lot of events this time." Caleb reported in my home office. He was in charge of training our new set of athletes. The teenage team, were teens between the ages of 16 - 25, since Lycans don't age, our teenage window was wider than normal."Are they really that good? Have you selected the ones who would represent our pack at the Olympics?" I asked, skimming over the report that he had brought over." No, I haven't. I wanted you to come watch one of their practices and choose yourself." He said, taking a swig of the beer that he had grabbed from my fridgeI closed the file abruptly and looked at him. " Absolutely not. I'll come and watch them practice but I won't be the one to choose the team. You've trained them, you know who's good at what and who's not, you'll choose. Okay?" He nodded in agrStorm's POVWhy the hell was I doing stretches by 4. 30 am? Who in their right mind would choose to want to leave their bed this early? This was pure punishment. Noah must be punishing me for agreeing to participate in the Luna events. Such a cruel man, couldn't he have thought about something else as a punishment, inside of me being up this early in the cold? He had brought me to the forest to run and practice.I sent a glare to him. He was bent over stretching as well. His running short clung to his thighs exposing his well-defined calves. His sweatshirt fitted him perfectly, and I could see his muscled biceps. I wanted to grab him and back him up against a tree Damn, this man was fine. Noah cleared his throat and I snapped out of my trance. "Are you okay?" He asked concerned."Of course. I'm perfect." I said, twisting my waist so it would look like he didn't affect me. He nodded. After a few stretches, he jumped up. "Alright, that's enough for stretching. It's 5 am on the dot. L
Storm's POV My bones were aching and I thought I heard one of them snap out of place. Noah snickered and slid down to the ground, taking the spot next to me. He also lay on the ground but was on his side facing me. I turned and lay on my side to face him. Although this man was out of breath and sweating, he still managed to look flawless and perfect. How did he do it?"You did good, no, scratch that, you did amazing. I didn't expect you to last this long. I thought you would have been done immediately after the laps but you have great stamina, almost like that of a lycan. If I didn't know better, I would say you had lycan blood running through your veins. " He joked. I froze, I didn't know why his last words had an effect on me even when I knew he was saying the truth.I laughed nervously, trying to loosen the tension in my muscles. " I'm just glad that I was able to keep up with you, I didn't think I would have been able to." " Do you want to leave now?" He asked, rising from the
Storm's POV"What the hell?" Pixie cut shrilled."What did you do to her?" Braids said, her eyes widening." It's what I haven't done to her that should be your concern. You think you can just walk all over me and I'll let you get away with it. You don't know who you're messing with." " Let her go or I'm going to scream." Braids said."Sweetheart, scream all you want. Your friend screamed as well, no one is coming in to save you and if they manage to do, I'm going to make sure they don't get out." I smirked at them.Pixie cut tried to make a move at me. " Don't even think about it. One wrong move and I'm snapping your friend's neck. Step the hell back. We're going to have a little conversation." She saw that I wasn't joking and recoiled. They both stood side by side holding on to each other, still in their towels."Now, I want to know why you ladies decided that I was someone you could mess with. I am the Luna of this pack, you don't treat your Luna that way." " You don't deserve to
Noah's POV My blood turned cold when I saw who she was calling out to. I growled and the fork in my hand snapped into two."What the hell are you doing? Why are you calling him here?" I asked in a low voice." Why not? Frank and I are friends, it's common courtesy to see a friend and want to say hi to them." She said in a petulant voice. I narrowed my eyes at her."That man is not your friend, he tried to kill you barely two months ago. The only reason he's still alive and in this pack is because you begged on his behalf." I didn't understand why she didn't let me kill him, it would have been way easier."Potato, potahto. It's all in the past, we're good friends now and I want to say hi to him." She waved at him again with a big friendly smile. I glared at him and if he knew what was good for him, he would stay far away. I could see the conflict and fear in his eyes. He didn't know who to obey.I glanced at Storm and saw that she was genuinely happy to see him and I relaxed my glare
Noah's POVMom gasped, unable to believe that her daughter was standing up for herself. "How dare you talk to me like that? What in the Moon goddess' name is going on? What has gotten into my children that they think they can talk to me this way?" Mom choked back a sob and brought out a hankie to wipe her tears. I could swear I heard Storm snicker but when I looked at her, she had a stoic expression on her face."Whatever. Storm, we'll catch up later. I'm really sorry I couldn't stay longer but since I'm still in town, I'll reach out. Bye Noah, take good care of Storm or else." She made a gesture of slicing her throat. She gave Amanda and Mom a glare before leaving the diner. I was too shocked to say anything, this Tasha was so unlike the sister I had grown up with.Mom cried loudly, drawing the attention back to her. Amanda was hugging her and trying to comfort her. I stood and moved towards her but she stopped me."Stay away from me. I don't know what you did to Tasha, my sweet gi
Storm's POV Dania seemed like a nice person, I didn't get any feeling that she disliked me which was a relief and also quite sad, a relief because it felt good to meet someone who could be a potential friend and ally, sad because since I didn't view her as an enemy, I won't be able to fight using my anger and hatred. "You did well," Dania said, panting. She stretched her hand towards me to help me stand. I accepted it and groaned as I tried to stand but my legs refused to give. After many attempts, I finally stood. Noah handed me a bottle of water while I tried to catch my breath. The match had been quite slow, I had put up a good fight against Dania but she was really good. She had been on the offensive side while I stayed mainly on defense, using the skills that Noah had taught me. Our fight had attracted the whole center and everyone had gathered around to watch us fight.Very few of them had been on my side during the fight, they had not believed that I would hold my ow
Storm's POV" First things first, these are my clothes and I like them so I'm going to wear them, you have no right to tell me what to wear and what not to wear. I'm wearing them and that's final." I turned away from him and increased the volume of my tutorial video, trying to concentrate on getting my flawless makeup. My grip on the concealer was too tight that I spilled it on the table"Fuck, I can't believe he just said he won't let me out of the house because of how I'm dressed, how does that even make sense," I muttered to myself, grabbing wipes from the box and cleaning up furiously."Storm, I'm just being honest, what you have on doesn't cover half of your body. I don't know where you guys are going but I can guess it will be packed with males that are extremely horny. Most of them will claim that you were trying to seduce that because of the clothes you have on." He said, his eyes were downcast and his shoulder dropped, he was really worried about me. I didn't know what to say
Storm's POV"Your body is so soft." He bent and whispered into my ears, his voice made my skin crawl, I tried to get his hands off me but his grip was too tight and I was at a disadvantage because my hands were shaking and I was unstable because I was drunk. He pulled me back and there was a great distance between Tasha and I. I could barely even see her. "Let me go." I thrashed again him. "Come on, calm down, you know you like it. I've been watching you and I see the way you've been shaking that fat ass, you've been asking for it all night." He chuckled. This guy was delusional, I needed to get away from him fast. I jabbed him in his belly as hard as I could and he let go of me, crouching down in pain. "You bitch! What the fuck is wrong with you? You're going to pay for this." He came at me but I was prepared, I kicked him in his belly and grabbed him as he bent to deliver a punch to the nose, I heard it crack then I rounded it up with a quick jab to the throat. He fell to the gro
