Noah~•~“Who was that on the phone?” I asked Aiden as he walked back inside the house with a worried expression registered on his face. “Dimitri.” He responded, throwing his phone on the couch. I lowered the volume of the television and turned to him. “Why do you look sad?” He sighed before responding. “He overheard some college students talking about how they think he’s a werewolf.” I gasped at his words. The majority of the students attending that school were humans and werewolves kept their identities a secret. The fear of my secret getting exposed was one of the main reasons I hadn’t started college. I wanted to be a lawyer for the longest time. The humans finding out about the werewolves wasn’t good news, because they were going to do everything possible to wipe us away from the face of the earth. That meant an impending war. “How? What?” I tried coming up with a complete sentence but my words failed me. “Calm down, Noah.” Aiden placed his hands on my shoulders and gave
Noah~•~My heart skipped a bit when I saw his hands coming towards my thigh but I acted cool even if everything in me wanted to explode. It was like he was doing it purposely to get a reaction from me. He hesitated for a while and I could feel his gaze on me even if I didn’t look up to him. A shiver ran down my spine as his fingers brushed against my thigh. I tried hard to fight the urge to jump off but I failed. I jerked his hands away from my body and ran to meet Katie at the door. It wasn’t a good day to wear shorts. “Noah, come on!” Aiden stood up and walked to the door. “We’ve been friends for so long, you don’t have to act awkward around me.” Katie betrayed me and pushed me to him, landing me in his arms. “I’m not awkward.” I took some steps back and stood in front of him. “Then why did you act that way when I touched you?” “Because- because ” I trailed off, at a loss for words. I couldn’t tell him I had feelings for him. I didn’t know if he still felt the same way about
Noah~•~“What do you mean he’s dead?” My lips parted and I blinked, not believing the words I had just heard. “He just slumped and died, no one knows the cause of his death yet,” Aiden explained solemnly, giving me a pitiful look. I felt dizzy and I could barely breathe. I could feel my legs shaking and I struggled to stay upright. I was scared, more scared than I’d ever been in my life.Uncle Zach was one of the other fatherly figures I had while growing up. He was very nice to me and always made sure I was okay. He checked on me whenever he had the chance and now he was gone. Why did I always lose people? I was starting to think I was cursed or something. The worst part was that no one knew the cause of his death. I had just woken up and heard someone knocking on my door. I opened the door to see it was Aiden with a tense expression on his face. My heart broke as he told me the news about Uncle Zach’s passing. He was like a father to everyone in the pack, even if he was a litt
Noah~•~I was deep in my sleep when I heard multiple knocks on my door. I didn’t want to wake up but the knocks were persistent. I groaned and sat up in bed, rubbing my eyes. Slowly, I got out of bed and made my way to the door. I was feeling dizzy from taking half a bottle of alcohol, so it wasn’t easy getting to the door. I was surprised to see Dimitri when the door swung open. Scratching my eyes, I asked. “What are you doing here?” “I came to check up on you.” He said, entering inside the room while I stood at the door, wondering what was going on. “You didn’t come down for dinner and you’ve been in your room throughout.” Still confused, I closed the door and went back to my bed. “What time is it?” I asked, searching for my phone on my scattered bed. “It’s almost 10 pm,” Dimitri replied and I facepalmed. I had been asleep for hours. “Were you drinking?” He asked, his gaze lingering on the almost empty bottle of bourbon lying on my cabinet. I ignored his question and laid bac
Noah~•~I spent the rest of the night in the bathtub washing myself and crying. I felt dirty, I felt used, I felt embarrassed. I knew I had fucked up. I even cried harder when I saw the spots of blood on the areas of my vagina. Dimitri had taken my virginity and didn’t say anything else to me when he was done. He just stared at me for a while and got dressed up before leaving my room. I couldn’t stop myself from crying and I couldn’t tell the only person who could make me feel better - Aiden, what I had just done. I wasn’t blaming anyone for what had just happened, it was all my fault but I wish I could go back in time and slam the door when I saw it was Dimitri knocking. I have made many mistakes in my life, but this was the greatest one, I couldn’t take it back. I felt hurt, I felt sad, I felt betrayed, I felt heartbroken. My heart was filled with a whirlwind of emotions. I swallowed hard as I thought of the events of the previous night. How was I going to face Aiden? Even if
Noah~•~“Why does it feel like you’ve been avoiding me for the past two weeks?” Aiden asked after we were done eating breakfast. “I haven’t been avoiding you, everything has just been overwhelming.” I cleared up all the plates and took them back to the kitchen while Aiden trailed behind me. “Noah.” He gently took my hand and pulled me to the counter, after I had placed the dirty plates in the sink. “Are you sure? You know you can talk to me about anything.” Sure, I could talk to him about anything. But how do I tell him his elder brother, who treats me like trash took my virginity? I couldn’t bring myself to look at him in the eye. I couldn’t tell him. Aiden trusted me and I had betrayed that trust. I had betrayed him and I didn’t know how to make it right. He reached out and took my hands. His touch was gentle and reassuring. “Look, I know something is bothering you and you have to talk to me.” I sighed. “Okay, fine. It’s nothing really, it’s just because of Uncle Zach and his
Noah~•~When he was done, he came and stood in front of me, a sheepish grin on his face. “Noah.” He took a deep breath and giggled. “Will you be my girlfriend?” His blue eyes were full of hope but I felt my heart sink. How could I say yes when I had just slept with his brother? “Noah, I’m sorry.” He began pacing back and forth in the room. “I’m so stupid, you’re mourning Uncle Zach and I’m here asking you to be my girlfriend.” I was frozen, I didn’t know what to say to him. “I know this isn’t the right time, I shouldn’t have asked you.” He sat down beside me. “Noah, say something please.” I thought for a while before finally speaking. If I didn’t want him to find out my secret, I needed to act normal. “Aiden, calm down.” I reached for his hands and squeezed it gently. “Can I give you an answer later? I don’t want our special day to be on the day of Uncle Zach’s funeral.” “Okay.” “Aiden,” I called his name softly. “What happens when you find your true mate?” I asked, my heart
Dimitri ~•~After the funeral, I came back home with my dad and we decided to sit outside for a moment. It was a sad day for everyone in the pack and I needed a moment to take it all in. We had barely sat down for over ten minutes when I saw Asher, the gamma, and Caro walking into the compound. It was rare for other members to visit, but since there was an event, I didn’t read any meaning into it. “I like how you handled everything today.” My dad praised me. “You’re my true son and it wasn’t a mistake passing down the alpha position to you.” A small smile played on my lips as I heard those words. It didn’t matter if a lot of people thought of me as an asshole, as long as my father commended me, I didn’t care what any other person thought of me. “Alpha Dimitri.” Caro and Asher both greeted me in a worried tone after greeting my dad. I started sensing something bad had happened again. “What is the problem?” I asked Asher who had a tense look on his face. “Her mother is dead.” He
Noah ~•~Aiden picked me up as soon as he saw my text. He took me home and I got cleaned up. I was worried about the way I felt good about my mother’s death but it had to be done. Katie stopped by the house to drop off my car and necklace before I even arrived. She sent me a text saying I should call her the next day. Aiden stayed in my room while I was in the shower. “So you’re happy now?” He asked when I got out of the bathroom. “I feel guilty taking their mother away from them but I had to do it,” I admitted, wiping my face with my face towel. “Anyways, I’m happy that my father has gotten justice for his death.” “I’m glad it’s over and I’m glad you didn’t get hurt,” Aiden whispered, pulling me closer to him. She was a hunter and everything could have gone wrong if she had also tried to kill me. “I’m glad it’s over too,” I said, leaning into his chest. “So let’s celebrate,” Aiden suggested, a mischievous expression registered on his face.I knew what he had in mind and I didn
Noah ~•~It had been over a month since the whole Katie and Jordan drama went down. Our college exams were also approaching. Katie decided she wasn’t going to let Jordan’s betrayal bring her down. She broke up with him and tried her best to avoid him whenever she was in school. Dimitri and Jessica started dating and she was practically at the house most of the time. Dimitri also spent a lot of time in Sparkle Falls. Ethan reached out to me and asked to spend a day with me. He wanted me to meet the rest of my siblings. Getting to know the strangers who shared the same DNA with me wasn’t a bad idea. Even if our worlds were different, it wouldn’t hurt to get to know them. I agreed to meet them during the weekend and the weekend was finally here. Their town was just an hour's drive away from Hawkins. Katie offered to accompany me there and to be by my side in case anything happened. It was still very early and I decided to spend my morning at the gym. I wanted to work out. I hadn’
Noah ~•~“Katie! Make it stop.” I yelled at Katie who had a wicked grin spread across her face. Aiden rushed to Angela to help her from the ground. After a few seconds, Katie stopped the migraines and Angela was back to normal. Dimitri and Aiden were pleading with Katie to stop while I took Angela to the car. I didn’t know what to do, the only thing I could think of was to call Scott. I pulled out my phone from my pocket and dialed his number. After trying about three times, I was about to give up, but I decided to try one more time. Fortunately enough, he picked up. “Hey, Noah. How are you?” “Scott, I’m not okay,” I said, my voice laced with fear. “What’s going on?” He asked. “It’s Katie, she’s behaving strangely,” I replied, running my hands through my hair. “She wants to take the moonstone from its original position.” “What?” Scott said, his voice laced with fear. “Why does she want to do something like that? It means putting the lives of the crescent moon pack in danger.”
Noah ~•~“Katie, you won’t do that.” My expression became serious but Katie looked so determined. “Do you know what it means? Random people would die. I would die, Aiden would die..” “But it wasn’t a problem when the Malley witches died?” She asked, giving me a disdainful look. I was shocked and I couldn’t believe we were even having such a conversation. “Katie, what has gotten into you?” I asked, a puzzled expression registered on my face. “Nothing, I just want justice for my people.” She said. “Girl, you don’t even know what they look like,” I replied with a scoff. A part of me felt she was just bored and joking because there was no way in hell she would take that moonstone and put everyone’s life in danger. Katie didn’t say anything else to me, she just walked out of the room. I didn’t know what she was up to, so I followed her. When we got downstairs, everyone could tell we just had a serious argument. They all stared at us with concern etched on their faces. Katie wanted
Noah ~•~After a short stroll, we arrived at Katie’s front door. I knocked on the door multiple times before someone answered the door. It was Dahlia who answered the door. She was so excited to see Aiden. “You barely hang out here anymore.” She complained as she engulfed him in a tight hug. Dahlia was right. I couldn’t remember the last time Aiden hung out with us in Katie’s house. It was because he became the alpha and had so many responsibilities. It was also because we’ve been going through much the past few months and everyone was so busy. “I’m sorry about that, it’s not on purpose.” Aiden apologized as we made our way to the living room. “Thank goodness you’re here, Noah.” Sophia rushed to hug me as soon as she saw me. “Katie has been acting like a bitch.”I gently placed my hands over her mouth when I heard those words. “Don’t talk about your big sister in such a vile manner.” Sophia was still too young to be using the bitch word as a part of her vocabulary.“I’m sorry.”
Noah ~•~I felt a mix of emotions and I didn’t know what to do or say. Aiden must have noticed my reaction because he took my hand in his and gave it a gentle squeeze. “Let’s focus on getting the necklace first.” He whispered. “We can deal with the rest later.” I nodded, wiping my eyes with the back of my hands to prevent the tears welled in my eyes from streaming down my face. Aiden handed my mother his phone so she could put her son’s number. When she was done, he took it back from her and dialed the number. After a few rings, a male voice answered. “Hello.” He said. “Hey, I’m Aiden. Your mother is here and she has something to tell you.” “Is she okay? Please don’t hurt her.” The boy pleaded, his tone laced with worry and fear for his mother. Aiden didn’t respond to him, he just signaled my mother to speak to the boy while he still held the phone. “Ethan, you have to come to Hawkins as soon as possible with that necklace.” She instructed him. “The one that belongs to my s
Noah~•~“Aiden, I can’t live like this anymore,” I said, my voice filled with frustration as I lay on his chest. “It’s turning me into a monster and I feel good about killing people,” I confessed, my voice barely above a whisper. Aiden’s hands stroked my hair, his touch gentle. “You’re not a monster, Noah.” He reassured me, his words soothing and comforting. “Are you ready to consider your mother's deal?” I jerked up, my eyes flashing with anger. “Don’t refer to that woman as my mother again,” I warned, my voice low and even. “She’s not my mother, she’s a huntress who killed my father.”“I’m sorry, I won’t refer to her as your mother again.” Aiden apologized and I laid back on his chest. “But have you made a decision yet?” “Hm hm,” I said, nodding my head. “I’m going to let her go for now,” I said, my fingers tracing patterns on his skin. Aiden’s eyes locked onto mine, his gaze intense. “What do you mean by that?” He asked, his voice low and cautious. I smiled, forming a plan in
Noah ~•~We weren’t able to resolve the Jernard issue and we ended up missing the gala. Aiden, Dimitri, Sarah, and I spent the rest of our night drinking wine and watching movies. Aiden and Dimitri decided they were going to deal with the Jernard issue in the morning. That was finding a way to get rid of him and his people. Aiden called Asher and asked him to inform him if Jernard ever returned to the gala, but luckily enough, he never called to deliver any news like that. Exhausted from the events of the day, I decided it was time to go to bed. I exchanged goodbyes with everybody and made my way to my room. I went straight to the bathroom to clean my makeup and change into a more comfortable dress. When I was done, I lay down on my bed. I was about to sleep when I sighted my phone and decided to call Katie first. I wanted to tell her about everything that happened. I called her repeatedly but she didn’t respond. I figured she would be sleeping so I didn’t disturb her further.
Noah ~•~Jernard was on the stage while everyone in the crowd had puzzled looks on their faces.His voice was booming as he continuously declared. “I’m going to be the leader of the pack, whether you all like it or not!” A small group of strange people were cheering him on and it was unsettling. Sarah and I walked through the crowd to meet Asher. “What is going on?” I asked Asher who had a worried look on his face. Aiden, Dimitri, and some other people were trying to stop Jernard. Jernard kept on chanting those words while the people kept on cheering him. After a series of struggles, they finally got Jernard off the stage. I had no idea what had gotten into him. He claimed he wasn’t going to disturb us and had gone somewhere else to start his own pack. So what changed? Why did he want to become the leader of the crescent moon pack all of a sudden? Dimitri handled the whole situation while Aiden stayed back on the stage. He took the microphone and cleared his throat before speak
