Noah smiled at me, his smile so beautiful. It was just like I have always Imagined, only that his smile didn't just warm my heart, it tipped me down there. Five years of admiring and crushing on him secretly and today, he finally realised my existence. Not only that, he was in my room, giving me that killer smile. I couldn't control my feelings anymore seeing that I have kept them bottled up all this time.Why was he in my room? I didn't have the slightest idea but that didn't matter. He was here with me, that was everything to me. I didn't even dare to ask because I feared that that would drive him away.I gave him my best smile and walked towards him.Noah took unhurried steps towards me, stopping just about a few inches before me. He then took my hand, placed a gentle kiss on it. I felt tingly all through my body and my eyes felt teary with emotions. It's finally happening, each of my fantasies. Noah had kissed me. This was like a dream come true.I smiled at him and he bent h
Watching the damn pregnancy test for the humpteeth time, I don't know if I should cry or scream with joy. I am pregnant. But how? We only did it once! It was a mistake, or so he called it. Noah was fucking drunk that night when he came knocking on my door. After turning eighteen, I found out that he was my mate, just like I had prayed. I was over the moon but he didn't share the same excitement. He even warned me not to breathe a word about the news of being mates to anyone. I did as he instructed, hoping that he would come to wrap his mind around the fact that I was his fated mate and accept me. When he arrived at my doorstep reeking of alcohol, I welcomed him. When he kissed me Possessive, I kissed him back and when he spread my legs and settled between them, I spread them wider for him, granting him access to my treasure. Noah made love passionately to me that night but the next morning, my heart was shattered into a million pieces by his words. I had tried hugging him
I froze, blood draining from my face before my anger slowly crept to every nerve of my being. Seeing that bitch standing proudly next to my mate with a smile on her face, all I wanted to do was march to her and skin her alive. Before I could control myself, I was before her, a crisp slap echoing through the room. Gasps filled the room as Serena's eyes widened with surprise, a dangerous going flickering through her eyes. “ Are you crazy?” Noah roared, his eyes flashing between red and black, showing that his wolf was struggling to take control. “ I should be asking you that. Are you crazy? How dare you bring this woman here?” I spat, my anger flaring just seeing her ugly face. Seeing her reminded me of the past, the past I fought so hard to forget. “ Who do you think you are to question who I bring here? Let me remind you in case you forgot. I am the Alpha of this pack and I get to do what the fuck I want.” Noah's face was painted with fury and I could see I had managed to anger
Chapter 4Serena's evil voice had me snapping my neck to face her. She had an evil smile on her face and I could clearly tell she was up to something. She then walked to me, her body hovering above mine where I laid. I looked around in panic only to realise that I was in the hospital. I tried to push her away, get her ugly face out of sight but she seemed to have anticipated my move and gripped the headboard. Being an alpha blood, she was obviously stronger than an omega like me and she didn't hesitate to flaunt it on my face with an evil smirk. “ A fox can't wrestle with an elephant. You should know your place.” She sneered at me.I hated being compared to a fox and I hated it even more that she was stronger than me“ What do you want?" I asked warily as I remained defenceless against her. I was vulnerable with how weak my body felt after the punishment.“ Now that's an interesting question.What do I want?" She repeated, a grin spreading on her face. " What could I possibly wa
Noah's povSitting in my office, I can't help but think about those Hazel eyes which have been haunting me in the past five years. Five years of separation and every blood moon, I have to fight against my beast from taking over. My beast, Ryker has been losing his sanity with each passing day. There are a few things I regret in life and my biggest regret is hurting her and kicking her in the curb. She was destined to be mine but because I thought she wasn't good for me, I treated her as shit and chose another as my mate. Serena was everything I needed in a woman. Smart, beautiful and powerful. She was a whole package but Ryker thought otherwise or should I say, she proved me otherwise. Two years into our marriage, I found out that she was cheating on me and that's not even the worst part, she was here on a plan with her mate, Alpha Drake of Redmoon pack. The plan was simple: poison me and take over my pack. Luckily, her plan was discovered and you have to ask about her tragic
I stood up abruptly and started following her. "Where are you going to? We have not finished our meeting." I heard Drake's voice. I did not turn to look back as I was on a mission. My mission was to find Hazel in whatever hole she had run to. Was it a coincidence or just good luck? I had come here to negotiate with Drake and had ended up finding my long lost mate. But I knew something, this was a second chance given to me to make things right and I wasn't going to let it slide.I pushed a few people that were in front of me to make way. One guy yelled obscenities but I did not care, I wanted to find Hazel before she could disappear again from my life. I didn't know I missed her so much until I saw her. My beast was pushing through in an attempt to take control but I wasn't about to let him free. I don't trust him one bit when it comes to Hazel. I can't have his longing ruin things for us. Coming across the only door she disappeared into, I tried Pushing it open only to realize that
“ Hazel please, I am begging you, don't do this. I am so sorry." Noah said while still in pain. Being an Alpha, why did it seem like the pain was too much. Usually, a rejection doesn't hurt an alpha like it affects omegas.He had run after me outside.I had escaped outside thinking that he would go back to his drinking and leave me alone but he was adamant."Stop following me or I will scream.” I threatened.“Please listen to me.” He pleaded.I stopped to look at him before saying, "I hate you so much I wish you were dead. I do not want to hear anything you have to say." I didn't mean it,deep down I knew that I would never wish anyone bad. Especially when that person was the father of my kids. It didn't matter what he did to me in the past. He deserved pain but death was out of the topic.I just wanted him to leave me alone. Seeing him again was filling my mind with dark clouds that weighed down on my soul."You don't mean that. Please, you are my mate!" He said while looking at me with
Chapter EightI arrived home tired and worn out. It had been a long night; from the fight I had with Noah, to the rude and stubborn client I attended to. I was so ready for bed, other things could wait. The only thing I needed to do was check on the twins. They were my lifeline, the only reason I was working hard. I needed to do everything I could for their survival and safety.I tiptoed into their room, careful not to wake them up. My girl was a light sleeper; any slight noise could wake her up. I did not want that. It made me happy to see them sleeping peacefully and soundly. I wished I could maintain the peace and stability we had started having in this city. I had vowed not to disrupt their lives again. My vows were going to be broken because of Noah.His appearance back in my life had made me make a spur of the moment decision. I did not want him to get near my kids or even know that they existed. I did not know how he would react if he knew he had kids and I was really not willin
Noah's POV~“What do you mean?” I asked as I got to my feet, staggering a little. I certainly didn't expect him to have grown so large in such a short time without any water around. “What do I mean? Don't tell me you aren't feeling a bit numb yet” he said. As soon as he said it, I felt my body go limp. I could barely stand and my vision had become rather hazy. I could barely feel my body. “W-what’s happening?” I asked, “What did you do to me?”He laughed diabolically; “Two words Noah; Wolf’s Bane” My eyes widened in surprise. Wolf's Bane? How? When?“That's not possible” I responded, “We haven't even met in months before now. There's no way you could have poisoned me. What did you do to me? Huh?” I barked. “Stop being so pathetic Noah. It's not a good look for you” He said tauntingly. Something was wrong. I could feel it. If it truly was poison, then how did he get it to me? A cut from a claw slash, maybe?“I didn't think you'd be so naive to not understand that I don't necessaril
Like a huge fireball flying through the night sky, Noah scans the area for Drake and Hazel. They're almost nowhere to be found and he decides to land on one of the buildings and reverts to human form to prevent garnering unnecessary attention from the city below…..Noah's POV~“Damnit! I can't believe he got away” I punched the ledge of the building. I peered into the darkness around but there was no sign of the bastard nor Hazel. “He better not lay a finger on her or else…..” I growled when suddenly my phone rang. I picked it up only to see my beta's number float across the screen. “Hello?” I answered as soon as I picked up. “Sir, are you alright? I just heard what happened” he said with a bit of panic in his voice. “Relax, I've got it under control” I responded, “It's not really a big deal. I just have to put him in his place. It's been a long time coming to be honest” I said. “Should I send backup? We don't know what the fool is planning?” He said. “His pack ain't wit
With Hazel in his arms, Drake manages to maneuver his way through the maze of the cityscape, jumping between skyscrapers till he finds somewhere to hide, on the top of one of the highrise buildings. Hazel's POV~“Urghh!” I groaned as I tried to wriggle my way out his grip. I kept hitting and punching and biting but it all seemed futile. He was way too strong. I hated the sight of staring down at the city as he leaped between ridiculously tall skyscrapers. “Let go of me!” I yelled, biting his arm again and accidentally choking on his fur. “You're gonna die if I let go” he said as we streaked through the night sky. I was scared of heights - freaking scared of it! I gulped, realizing the reality of his words. I was so hellbent on him letting go of me that I didn't really put much thought into what would happen afterwards. I kept quiet, feeling a weird mix of annoyance and embarrassment. We soon landed on one of the buildings. He looked around and Noah was nowhere to be fou
Drake's POV~“Stop!!!” A shrill scream came from behind me, catching our attention. I looked behind me only to see Hazel. How did she find us? “Hazel?” Noah responded in surprise as he lowered his hand. “How did you…..”“It doesn't matter” she responded to him and then looked at me. The look in her eyes was that of a weird mix of hate, disappointment and disgust. “Where are my kids?” She asked. “You better not have laid a finger on them” she threatened. For some reason I felt weak as I watched her speak. As much as I wanted to deny it, I actually did really like her - a lot. Of course, I initially went after her to get back at Noah for stealing my mate - but I guess I ended up catching feelings for her. It pricked my heart to see her glare at me the way she was doing now. But it was probably too late to make amends now - I had to finish what I had started.“Your kids are safe.” I responded, “You should know I wouldn't do anything to them” I said. “Says the person who kidnapped them
Under the heavy storm, Hazel's car can be seen driving down a lonely road. She is frantically trying to keep herself from losing her composure any further. Where is she going?Hazel's POV~I felt like my head would blow up at any minute. My kids and their safety were all I could think about. “That jerk better not lay a finger on my babies” I growled as I stepped on the gas.Not long after, my phone rang. Driiiinng! Driiiinng!I picked it up and took a look; it was the principal. “Hello?” I picked up. “Oh thank goodness. I've been trying to reach you. Where are you? The cops are here” she said. “I'm on my way to the culprit's location. He called my hu…..” my mouth froze up for a second. That was weird. Why did I want to call Noah my husband? “Hello? Are you still there?”“Huh? Yes yes” I snapped out of my thoughts. This wasn't the time for any stupid thoughts. “The culprit called my husband to meet him somewhere. I'm currently tracking my husband's phone” I said. “Really?
As the heavy torrents wash over the junkyard, Drake stares pitifully at the limp body of Noah, who lays helpless on the ground…..Drake's POV~Panting heavily while I stared down at him, I didn't know if what I felt was pity or disgust. I certainly didn't like his guts one bit but still, killing him when he was this weak didn't seem worth it to me. I hated that he didn't put up much of a fight. I wanted to vent my anger - I wanted to pour it all out… who would have thought he would be this weak now?“After all the big game you talked, I expected you to put up more of a fight. Looks like you won't get to see your kids after all” I taunted him with a chuckle. I wanted to piss him off. I could tell that he was holding back and I didn't like it. It felt condescending - like he didn't take me as a serious opponent. I shook my head in pity and began to walk away. Suddenly I heard him speak up and I turned around only to see him on his feet again, though his stance was rather feeble
Noah's POV~My hands clutched the steering wheel firmly as my mind went through all manner of things I would do to that bastard if he touched my kids. I certainly wasn't going to hesitate to end his miserable existence. Like what kind of coward uses kids as bait? Driiiinng! Driiiinng! My phone rang yet again. Hazel certainly wasn't helping with all the calls she was spamming me with. I took a look at the phone again. I wanted to answer this time but I was already close to where Drake wanted us to meet. I dismissed the call and called Drake instead. “Hello,” I spoke up.“Yes, where are you?” he asked. “I just arrived at the outskirts of the city. There's nothing here - just a couple of abandoned buildings” I answered, “My kids better not be here” I warned with a growl lacing my voice. “Your kids are safe - for now” he responded, “Anyway, come over to the abandoned junkyard. I'll be waiting for you there” he said before hanging up. I sighed and shook my head. I knew this wasn't goi
CHAPTER THREE: A black SUV can be seen parked outside an elementary school building. In it, Alpha Drake can be seen seated in the driver's seat with a pair of shades on. The expression on his face displays the calculative thoughts going through his head. What's he doing here?>>>>>>>>Drake’s POV~‘Why is he taking so long?’ I thought as I stared at my phone yet again. Finally my phone rang. “Hello?” I answered, “Are you done yet?” I asked. “Yes sir. I took a while to get any traces of AI out” Hazel's voice responded. A smirk appeared on my face. It sounded just like her. “How is it sir? Convincing enough?”“It's perfect” I responded to him. “Make sure to use this voice when I call you back, got it?” “Got it, sir” he responded before I hung up. It was show time. I checked myself in a mirror a bit and then got out of the car. It was almost closing hours and I was about to go pick Hazel's kids up. I'm a good friend, right?Walking into the school premises, I got to the hallway. I
Hazel's POV~Thud! Slamming the door behind me, I went and sat down on the couch. I was super tired. “Hmph!” I sighed, tilting my head backwards over the headrest. “What happened? Why didn't Drake give you a lift?” Layla asked as she emerged from the kitchen in her nightgown with two cups of tea in her hands. “Why didn't you give me a lift even when I asked?” I answered her with another question. “Oh come on. You know I couldn't leave the kids here alone. At least I sent an Uber. That counts doesn't it?” She smiled awkwardly as she handed me a cup of tea. I took a sip and as usual, she added too much milk. “Well I guess so” I shrugged as I took another sip. She sat beside me yet facing me and her eyes began to glow with a familiar glint; a glint that meant only one thing - she was in gossip mode. “So tell me everything. What happened between you and Drake?” She asked, leaning forward. “Not tonight Layla. I'm tired” I responded. I knew she wouldn't take my response seriously. Sh
