NOAH’S POV.
For decades, I’ve found myself getting less attracted to women with each passing day, up until I met the blonde in the rain and recently, my red-haired employee. Surprisingly, both have the same color of eyes, deep green, with an out worldly glow in them, one could stare and get enchanted by it seems to be drawing me into them.The last time I let myself get distracted from my goal, terrible, bloody things happened to the people I cared about and I was not about to repeat the same mistake. Removing my focus from finding my mate and focusing on the root of such a trickle of attraction would be stupid and I pride myself on being someone who prioritizes important things and doesn’t get distracted.I walk over to the car and instruct the driver on the location of the place the meeting is to be held, and I’m about to get in when I hear footsteps running towards me.“Sir! ehm Mr. Noah, I'm sorry for my lack of coordination and my uncultured manners… towards both you and your driver, and sincerely promise it will not happen again.” She says looking at both me and my driver with short breaths, panting as if she just ran three hundred miles, meanwhile, the receptionist's desk is just in front of the entrance.I stare at her unimpressed by not just her lack of ethical behavior but I also wonder if she is medically and physically fit, judging by the way she was breathing a while ago from running that extremely short distance, I highly doubt it. I give her a once over again and mentally shake my head while glaring at her outwardly.Finally observing that I wasn't going to reply to her she coughs nervously and continues,“ Sir, Mr. Noah, you forgot this document behind, considering the fact that you are going to a meeting I think it's pretty careless to leave this document behind.” She says without taking a breath.I stare at her and wonder how her mind works, for someone who didn’t have a good first impression, she should be treading on soft grounds but rather she just upped and called me careless.The fact that I am not even slightly annoyed by what she just did infuriates me.“It's obvious that I'm in desperate need of an assistant and it seems that you don't mind filling that shoes so as of now your employment status has changed automatically,” I say sternly as a matter of fact and grab the file from her hands, not minding the shocked expression on her face.“ Sir… Mr. Noah, what.. do... you... mean?”“ Tell Mrs. Greenwood to send out a notice of an employment opportunity to fill in your current position and then she will instruct you on what to do in your new position,” I say ignoring her question.“Oh and Chipmunk, you are to address me as Mr. Noah, not Sir or any other title,” I say and immediately get into the car, closing the door in her still-shocked state and telling the driver to drive.Loving the look on her face and how good it felt to call her a chipmunk, I smirk and lean back enjoying the ride and basking in the feeling. Looking ahead I find my driver also giving me a surprised look probably because of the smirk on my face, he immediately looks away as he catches my eyes.I sigh and adjust my expression, that girl just had this way of interesting and annoying me, and at the same time enticing me enough to lose focus. The sound of her voice is like light strumming meant purposely to arouse desires and her luscious curves don't help matters either, though she looks modest, I know with just the right amount of influence and motivation she could cause confusion in a holy sanctuary just by walking through. With the right push, she could put committed fathers to shame. If she clearly has the power to leave me thinking about her for more than three minutes which never happens for any other woman, she is clearly trouble to this fragile human world.I sigh and set my head straight as I walk into the building where the meeting is to be held, over the decades I've made my name one to be respected and feared in the high societal strata, worldwide.I built Trojan Company from the scratch, learning the way of humans, it was very easy to maneuver my way to making it one of the best exporting firms. Quickly learning that one of the most striving emotions in the human world is their greed for material things, everyone is looking for who to betray next, who to kill next and who to befriend next to get what they want. I simply sought out and plundered mercilessly my way to the top earning me the title of the most vicious CEO much to my amusement as compared to what I'm capable of doing, what I did to get to where I am doesn't hold a candle.Being a Tribrid alpha, a vampire, a werewolf, and a wizard, the strongest amongst all living supernaturals, even at half strength, I can get absolutely everything I want and cause tremendous damage in the human world, but I choose not to because rather than getting punished again by the gods I will rather keep the peace and my subjects in check.Every day is just as cliché as the last, so unlike Amaeldria, the home for all supernaturals, where no human can step into, totally unknown to their kind.For nearly a decade, it has been sealed off from all supernatural as punishment as a result of the war that ensued within it, which I hold myself responsible for.To say I miss my world will be an understatement, the feeling of nostalgia doesn’t escape me, and the guilt of putting my subjects through the punishment of living amongst the humans, away from their elements of survival, having to survive for over a decade as half breeds at half strength in the human world.I sit through the entire meeting pitching in ideas rarely and am bored out of my mind, I always get exactly what I want at the end of every business meeting so sitting through it has become a bore.After the meeting, I get back into the car and head towards my mansion, minus the daily human business, I still have to keep the supernatural beings in check.Even outside of Amaeldria, my duties as the supreme Alpha still stands, whilst looking for ways to find my mate to restore our home, I have to keep all kinds of supernatural being in order, Vampires from feeding off humans, werewolves from biting humans as a bite from one will effectively kill a human in less than a minute, witches and elves, to stay low key. Goblins and other weaker beings are made to stay completely out of sight because of the difference in their form and structure.Noticing an incoming call, I bring out my phone from my pocket to find out that it is Mrs. Greenwood.“Mr. Noah, I’m calling concerning Miss Denis.”“Who?” I ask her having no idea who that is.“ The new employee that started work today, she said you told her to inform me about her change in employment status?” She asks confused and then it clicks.“ Yes she is my new personal assistant, all changes should be done accordingly. Where did you place her?” I ask wondering which section of the building her office is at, though I was quite serious about her new position, I have no intention of stringing her along with me as I definitely don't need an assistant.“I placed her in an office white distanced from yours, as I was not sure of the validity of the instruction, but I can immediately make the changes.” She says apologetically.“ No need Mrs. Greenwood, leave her be,” I say glad that she is credible and also sensible.“ Okay, Mr. Noah.” She says as I end the call.Little Chipmunk would be less of a distraction at a distance and there she could be effectively utilized, Carrying out all the analysis of the most dreadful part of being a CEO of a company, paper work. It's the perfect activity to keep her occupied and away from my space.Heading to the mansion, I completely dispel her from my thoughts, this wasn't the time to be thinking about the chipmunk under my sleeves and besides, human and supernatural business don't mix.As we arrive at our destination, I get down from the car and step into the mansion to meet total chaos.Just as the door is closed behind me, a spear moving at full speed comes directly toward me.“ Alpha watch out!!” Liam shouts as the spear passes just slightly above my head, nearly impaling me which it would have if I hadn't ducked slightly.NOAH POV“Everywhere is drop-dead silent, no moving bodies, everyone stands in a frozen state.I look up and glare at the culprits.“I'm sorry Alpha.” Both the witch and werewolf say while my second in command just smirks. It's obvious that both the witch, Zara, and the werewolf, Druid, were dueling seriously, and the spear was enchanted.Still, with a hard face, I look around to find the entire place in a mess, with weapons scattered around.“Clean this up,” I say, which they hurriedly did, they know well enough that I don't need to give a verbal warning, the look is enough to tell them it shouldn't happen again.I look up the stairs to find Liam still standing with that foolish smirk on his face. It's a wonder I've tolerated his insolence this long.He has been there through every single thing that's why I give him the benefit of doubt and that's why he is my beta, the second in command.“Ectrapian,” I say with a low voice and before he could register that I cast a spell,
CHAPTER EIGHT“ See you tomorrow,” I say to my colleagues as I step out of the office. Today was surprisingly splendid unlike how it started. I got to my office and made a few changes as nearly everything was placed to my taste. Mrs. Greenwood was extremely nice and friendly even after I told her what Mr. Noah instructed.At the thought of him, I sigh loudly, 'what an arrogant man.’He is so infuriating, he made me so self-conscious the entire day after he called me Chipmunk. I kept checking myself in the mirror to see if I was in any way looking tattered. I even asked Mrs. Greenwood if my appearance at work is the right one. She gave me a weird look and asked why I would think it was not. I'm still wondering where he got the name from.I arrive at my apartment and I hear loud music coming from within I have a pretty good idea who is responsible for it. I walk into the open apartment to find Reina in a new extremely expensive-looking office suit with a bottle of sparkling wine i
Noah’s POVI stare at her as she hurries from her office towards the elevator. She looks as stunning as usual, the way her tight long skirt accentuates her curves and the way the two buttons on her shirt, kept open for comfort, although it looks responsible, still speaks promises of not just full luscious tits but also full succulent breasts.With heavy strides, she makes her way to stand beside me as stiff as a statue. Throughout the elevator ride, she doesn’t say a single word, though she gives not-so-discreet occasional glances minus that, she doesn’t react other than that and this amuses and annoys me at the same time. The fact that once in the presence of other people, she is as bold as a peacock, and when we are alone all she is capable of doing is stealing glances at me, puts my perspective of her in a twist. I walk out of the building with her hurrying to keep up with my long steps.My mind could not keep away provocative images of her, try as I might, right now all I can t
JASMINE’S POVI wake up feeling extremely relaxed, more relaxed than I’ve been since I can remember. I turn slowly, enjoying the softness of the bed, standing up lazily with the mindset of preparing for work, I take in my environment and shock settles in as I realize I’m not in my room. I turn and look at the bed I’m still sitting on, it has a grey cover and I don’t own any grey covers. I stand up immediately and then it dawns on me that I don’t know where I am. Looking from black curtains to the grey bedsheets, to the extremely dark and manly interior decoration.Was I kidnapped?I search for the door in this very huge room and I walk speedily to it when I see it, turning the handle only to find out that it is locked, I jiggle it fiercely but it doesn’t budge. “ I see you are finally awake.” I hear a very familiar voice say as I freeze totally shocked.Finding my bearing after a few seconds, I turn slowly and face my boss half naked and staring intensely at me. I notice the o
NOAH'S POVI have been unable to focus since Liam brought back news of her true identity. I also found out that she is the same girl I met on the night I went in search of my mate. To think I found her then and didn’t know it was her. I wonder what she’s doing back at the mansion.I sigh at the fact that I’m already craving her badly and that I can’t focus at work. I decide to head back and talk to her rather than keep procrastinating. I don’t think she even has an idea about her true origin.I head back with a resolve to call her out on her lie about her identity that she and her friend choose to make up and why she would do it.I arrive at the mansion earlier than usual to find it bubbling and lively rather than its usual gloomy appearance. I guess everyone is already aware of her presence but how could they not be she has such a unique scent unlike anyone here.I can’t help but smile, it’s been a while since we’ve had this kind of energy, centuries to be precise. Noticing my
JASMINE’S POVAfter dressing up, I step out to find him sitting on a chair working on his laptop on a desk, typing away with incredible speed which doesn’t even surprise me anymore.I also see a table in the middle of the room with two chairs across each other, beautifully prepared, there are rose petals scattered on it and in the middle, there’s a scented candle that gives this after-rainfall scent, I guess. I can’t help the smile that spreads throughout my face at the sight, I’d say it almost has a romantic look if I didn’t know better, maybe he just likes eating in style.Noticing my presence, he puts off his laptop and turns towards me, taking in my appearance and he looks stunned as he eyes me from head to toe.I watch as he walks over to a chair silently, eyes never leaving mine.“Dine with me and afterward we will talk.” He says with a calm voice though authoritative enough to not be declined. One second he is being mean, the next, imposingly sexy, and now he’s acting nice
NOAH’S POVI sense the battle in her mind as she tries to process everything I just said and I can’t help but worry when I see sadness in her eyes. She looks ready to leave it all behind without giving it a chance for fear of failure.'I'd be damned if I let go of her now that I’ve found her.’ My wolf says strengthening my stance on the matter.“ Let’s go meet our people,” I say to her as I tug her upwards, at least she doesn’t resist but she doesn’t look enthusiastic about it either.No matter, I would give her enough reasons to not consider escaping this, a lot of souls are at risk and she needs to understand that presently by virtue of fate's design, their lives are in her hands.I silently lead her out of the room, into the lobby, and head down the stairs to the main hall where everyone was busy in preparation for a banquet in her honor.Heads turn and bow at the sight of her before returning to their various indulgent, I watch her closely as she smiles gracefully but nervou
JASMINE’S POVI stare at the male in front of me in surprise and all I can think of is the fact that he looks very familiar.“ Priestess?” I ask Noah, who is glaring daggers at him because I don’t understand what called for this entire over-submissive behavior.“ This is Malakai, the werewolf you enslaved, he is bound by your aura.” He says to me, regarding Malakai who hasn’t lifted his head for a second since he got into his kneeling position.I run my eyes over him, assessing his entire feature as I try to piece together my memories, and the first scene my mind rests on is when the gold band had gone around his neck in the street. Curiously, I move my eyes to the exact place where I remember the band resting on and I let out a gasp in shock when I see it on the exact spot it was, glowing brightly, but rather than looking like a band on his neck, it looks like it is imprinted on his skin, and not an attachment anymore. My palm immediately covers my mouth in horror if the realit
THIRD PERSON POVThe air is tense as magical energy fills the room while spells are being muttered by Hecate, who has a bowl of water in her hand.She has her eyes closed and focuses solely on the bowl in her palms, channeling energy into the spell but still regarding the domineering presence in the room.The King of the underworld stands dominantly in the center of the room oozing a dark suppressing aura, right in front of her as she still carries out her spell.He chose to see her personally this time knowing the delicacy of the plan phase.The Darhk’s need to inform him of the progress in convincing the pixies to get sacrificed for the ritual.Knowing he has limited time on earth, he stands impatiently waiting for her to finish her spell.“What is the progress of the ritual right now?” he asks with a clipped tone.Lien has stood in his spot for two minutes and his aggravation keeps growing with each second Hecate doesn’t provide the answer he needs.“The witches are alread
NOAH’S POV“Why does Sharain want to see me?” I hear Jasmine's voice as she walks into my room putting her hair in a bun.“I’m not certain, she’s never direct with anything she says,” I say nonchalantly with my eyes fixed on her petite and delicate figure that always has me entranced.“Cut her some slack, she sees into the future. She’s one of a kind,” she says walking closer to me, trapping my gaze as she makes lazy strides to the chair I'm seated on.“I know this, doesn’t mean I can’t complain to you,” I say taking her hand as she sits on my lap with her eyes shimmering with happiness. “I take it you had a great day.”“I did, she’s faring well and healthy, her usual over-energetic self though sad that I left her,” she says her tone changing from cheerful to unhappy.“This makes you sad,” I state rather than ask caressing her cheek soothingly.With my hand on her back and hers on my chest, I dwell in the ecstasy of having her this close to me though bearing in mind that my wol
LIAM'S POVI’m flattered Natalie,” I say to her recovering from her verbal caress. “We are almost done with the hunger case, thanks to the mayor’s help. What’s next for you?” I ask her, paving a path for her to talk about the main reason she called.After spending a month with her, it’s safe to say that she is flirting to cover up her true emotions.She always chooses the avoidance route for every problem she faces.Always in a battle with herself on whether or not to trust anyone with these problems.I've noticed that each second her mind is whirring with different possibilities and situations where the information she’ll share about herself would be used against her.This psychological basis is most likely related to her childhood and she found different efficient means to barricade her true feelings no matter how badly she wanted to say them.I guess each person has their personal means and mine is the flirtatious face.“I’m not sure, maybe I’ll just pick on something random
This has to be a dream. “Hey Rei, I brought wine,” I get two loads of internal shock as I hear her words. Eyes greener than its previous dull look, hair golden blonde unlike its ruby red color, and skin having a soft unreal glow unlike its previous neutral appeal. The exact appearance of the floating figure I took a picture of. It can’t be right. It can’t be her. I thought those pics were thrash that I most likely took when I was drunk. The logic didn’t make sense but I put the main source of the pictures behind me. But here she stands, the perfect depiction of the outworldly image I captured on my phone. I had a bunch of reasons to dismiss those photos, one, Jasmine didn’t change her hair color back, two, Jasmine didn’t float, and three, Jasmine isn’t a magician. Besides, the background was appalling, everywhere was chaotic and there was no way such chaos could occur and not still be affecting the town. “Come in bitch, I missed you, you have a lot of explaining to do.” You
JASMINE’S POV“Is it alright if I do?” I ask Noah, whilst we eat at the dining table.“You just had another power surge, we don’t know what’s coming next, so I don’t think that’s a brilliant idea,” he says taking a bite out of his steak.“I understand your concern, but I don’t feel different. Nothing is happening to me and it’s been two days since the power surge,” I insist, urging him to understand how important it is that I do this.“Jasmine, can’t you wait a little while longer before going to see her?” he asks looking directly into my eyes and willing me to give in.“I’ve been away from Reina for months now and I haven’t reached out to her, besides text messages. I’m sure she is worried right now and is probably searching for me. We’ve never been apart for this long and it’s taking a toll on me, I miss her but I can’t even call her because I’m afraid that if I talk to her I might spill something about the supernatural existence and I don’t want her getting sucked into this. I
LIAM’S POVThe sound of the car tires rolling against the graveled path can be heard as complete silence fills the car.Reina sits facing the window looking as though she's deep in thought and my mind wanders to the events of the past few hours.I’m still in disbelief at everything that occurred and the extent to which it affected the human realm.No one expected to see an army of undead soldiers as Sharian had called them, matching through the living realm seeking to claim souls for the underworld.To think that we believed our greatest threat which isn’t much of a threat anymore were the Darhk's who were strictly in charge of causing chaos in the supernatural realm.Our angle of training now supersedes battles against the living but also includes dead souls as our foes.Taking from the entire battle, one would think that supernaturals would be crestfallen and afraid of the new development, but it’s rather the opposite. Due to the Luna’s second power surge, each supernatural h
REINA’S POVHappiness begets pain, pain begets anger and anger begets mistakes, so I’m doing you a favor. Your unhappiness is your saving grace.My uncle’s words ring in my head as I lay my head on the desk trying to put together reasons why I should endure the heartache of being without Jasmine, who is my only family left.I try to convince myself that I’m not being delusional about the fact that she’s in danger and that there’s no way she’d up and leave me without any reason.I vehemently tell myself that she is trapped somewhere that’s why she hasn’t come back to check on me, even once, and not because she simply doesn’t care enough to.Most of all, I desperately will myself to believe that the woman I’ve known and loved all my life didn’t believe that I would be fine with her disappearing on me without any pre-warning.But of course, it’s unlike her, that’s why I have to get to the root of this issue.Something must have happened to my best friend and I’ll not rest until I
NOAH’S POV“What is she doing here?” I ask sternly, once I see Jasmine walking majestically into the heart of the battle, looking as though she is blind-sighted to all the heads that keep rolling with each second.“I’m not sure Alpha, but I can sense that the vampires are on their way here,” Brian, a werewolf answers, clawing the heads off two dead souls simultaneously.“I instructed them to stay put until I gave an order, do you think she went against this?” I ask, but he doesn’t get the chance to answer when Jasmine walks up to us, clearing the lot of dead souls in her path, severing their heads from their bodies.“Ask me directly Noah,” she says fiercely with a glare which has me wondering where the tender look she had in her eyes moments ago when she saw me, went to.“Jasmine,” I say simply, not knowing how to begin an explanation while snapping the necks of three dead souls in a second.“Save it for now, but know that later, you will explain why you didn’t want me by your s
JASMINE’S POV“I don’t think I can take any more of this,” I say to Emerald, as she braids my hair.It’s been a week since I and Noah’s last practice and since then, everything between us has taken a slower grind.I tried to convince myself for the first two days that he was still being reserved because he wanted confirmation of progress with my witch essence.So to convince him, I repeatedly did extraordinary things, some of which surprised me because I had no clue I was that capable.On one occasion, out of pure desperation to get him to see that I am not as puny as I once was, I ignited a flame and made sure it consumed everything around us leaving just both of us as the only exception from its wreckage.I controlled the fire in a manner that its flames didn’t feel uncomfortable around us, but rather warm and soothing.All he gave me was one of his breathtaking smiles that annoyingly still had an effect on me.“I believe he just wants you to work harder before pursuing anyt
