Noah ~•~“One more shot of tequila please,” I yelled loud enough for the bartender to hear over the loud music buzzing from the speaker. He nodded his head and poured from the bottle into the tiny transparent cup. He passed it to me but as I was about to take it from the table, someone else beat me to it. “Oh, bummer.” I turned slowly to see it was Aiden. “Buzzkill,” I said drunkenly and pushed him away. “It’s time to go home, you’ve had too much to drink.” He lifted me from my chair and returned the shot to the bartender. “I don’t want to go back there.” I pouted and caressed his face. I was about to ruffle his brunette hair when he stopped my hands. I rolled my eyes and smiled at him. “When will you ever let me touch your hair?”He ignored my question and tried lifting me from the stool. “It’s been over two years already, you don’t have to live a miserable life because of him.” “You don’t have to keep on saving me,” I responded with a normal voice. “I’m not living a miserable
Noah~•~“Why did he have to do that to me?” I finally spoke after crying for about ten minutes. Aiden was patient enough to wait for me until I was done. “I don’t know, Noah.” He released me from his grip and gestured for me to sit on the counter. It was a little bit high, so I had to jump and I sat facing him.“It’s been over two years but I can’t seem to get over it. Normal people would heal as time goes by but it’s different with me.” I kept on blabbing and blabbing while Aiden listened and watched quietly. It wasn’t appropriate talking to him about it but I couldn’t help myself. Aiden had been in love with me even while I was in love with his brother. I couldn’t imagine myself not being with Dimitri so I never gave Aiden a chance. I was in love with his big brother and I didn’t want things to get messy. Aiden was always a good friend to me. He was like my best friend, the only friend I had apart from Katie. Even after ignoring all his romantic advances towards me, he was stil
Noah~•~“Did you see him on my bed?” I broke the silence and all eyes turned to me. “Even if he was on my bed, how is that your business?” I gave him an irritated look. “I’m your Alpha, talk to me with some respect.” “Yeah, right.” I rolled my eyes and covered the blanket over my head. I didn’t want to keep on looking at him. Even though I hated him now, I was still attracted to him. He looked sexy with his brunette hair, hazel eyes, and broad shoulders. He had the same features as Aiden. The only difference was his height and the color of Aiden’s eyes. His eyes were blue like that of his mother while Dimitri had his father’s eyes. I never met their mother, I just saw pictures of her around the house. She was still alive but they didn’t like talking about her. According to Dimitri, she was in another town with two of their siblings. He didn’t tell me the reason she didn’t live with them in the same house.“You still haven’t answered my question,” Dimitri spoke again in a condes
Dimitri ~•~ After I left Noah’s room. I went back to my room to meet Becky. I promised to drop her off at her dorm since I didn’t have anything to do. On my way to the room, Asher, the gamma, mind-linked me and told me there was a problem that needed my attention immediately. He refused to tell me what the problem was and insisted I went to meet him. I was already angry from seeing Aiden in Noah’s room, so I didn’t press further before I say something despicable. “I’m sorry, I won’t be able to drop you off,” I informed Becky as I walked into the room. She frowned her face at my words, showing she was disappointed. “Why? Is it because of Noah? I know you went to her room.” She whined and I scrunched up my face, giving her an irritating look. “When are you ever going to stop being insecure when it comes to her?” I asked calmly, raising a brow at her. “I told you I don’t like it when you talk to her.” She pouted and threw her arms over my shoulders. I pulled her closer and whisp
Noah~•~“Noah isn’t over me and you know that, so stop wasting your time trying to be all nice and caring, she’s never going to be in love with you. She can never get over me.” His harsh words felt like a slap in the face, leaving me speechless. I stood at the entrance of the door and watched the boys argue. They didn’t even notice I had been standing there. He really thought I could never get over him? I was about to go back inside but turned back when I heard the sound of someone’s body thumping to the ground. Aiden had punched Dimitri who was lying on the ground, looking all weak. I walked over and stretched my hands to Aiden, so we would go inside together. Before we went inside, I gave Dimitri, who had finally opened his eyes, a disappointing nod before going back into the house with Aiden. I had always tried to stay out of their arguments and didn’t take sides even when I knew who was wrong. I didn’t want to get caught up in the middle, so I just kept my mouth shut. But th
Dimitri ~•~The news about the hunters being back in town was a bluff. Or at least, for about three weeks, we didn’t see or get attacked by any of them. That still didn’t stop me from advising everyone to be vigilant and careful whenever they went out. Especially while hanging around in the woods. I was a little bit relieved and was happy my father didn’t get to find out about it and stress himself out. There was no doubt he was going to drop everything he was doing at Sparkle Falls, the neighboring town, to come to our rescue. Father had gone over there to rest for a while and take a break from Hawkins. He was the Alpha of the pack for a very long time. He was a good one at that but I couldn’t say the same about myself. After the incident with Aiden and Noah, they hadn’t really spoken much to me. Aiden easily forgave me because we were brothers and it was inevitable for brothers to fight. Noah, on the other hand, didn’t give me a time of the day. She didn’t even want to look at
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 ~•~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
