Chapter 27Adrien's eyebrow twitched."Damn, your boyfriend is…richie rich", he blew out of his mouth, his face darkening by the second.Myla glared at him. "I don't have a boyfriend, don't assume".His eyes widened then narrowed suspiciously, but he gulped and nodded."I'm sorry for assuming, uhm, your friend is richie rich", he corrected.She huffed. " Yes, he is, and he's also averse to crowds so, bye", she waved and daintily walked over to Zack's flashy car. Did Instagram pay him? Was he secretly a drug baron? The window rolled down to reveal Zack wearing sunglasses and diamond studded face masks. Okay, he was hot, interesting, she knew that, don't freak out, don't freak out, it's only your celebrity crush and role model, nothing to freak out about."H–hi", she coughed and cleared her throat. He looked towards her. Oh fuck what a horrible first impression."I'm Zack", he stretched his driver's license towards her. Oh please, like she wouldn't know who he was."O–okay", she entere
Chapter 28"So how do we ask these questions? In what order?", She switched the hand holding her ice cream, "Me first? Or you first?", She asked Zack.He had eventually evened out his driving and they stopped to get ice cream when they saw a truck. Myla would never forget the adrenaline rush she felt running away from fans that recognized Zack. He had grabbed her hand with a laugh and superspeed out of the place. He was even faster than Chris. Talk about vampire speed!"Ladies first", he winked as he took a bite of his, with one hand on the steering wheel. He winced. "Ha! Serves you right! Who bites into ice cream like that anyways?", She giggled.He made a face at her. "I do, and I count that as a question so my turn", he smirked.She huffed."So, who are you to Noah?", He asked like a gossiping woman. Myla laughed at her thoughts."I'm his friend of course", she looked at him like he was dumb.He rolled his eyes. "No, I'm his friend, Isabella is his friend, you, are not his friend
CHAPTER 29Six weeks later.Myla had a huge test she needed to prepare for, she had been holed up in the library for three days straight. It wasn't like the course was hard, the material was just very scarce, very few people even knew what it was about in the beginning.She sighed and adjusted her hair ribbon. Staying without any form of human interaction coupled with the boring work was driving her crazy slowly.She tapped her pen against her book and stood up, she should find another source material to study from. She sighed as she saw the one she would like was at the far edge of the library, the secluded end. It was also looking very dark, she hated dark spaces.She went anyway, determined to pass this first hurdle thrown at her. She grabbed the book and opened it, finding the topic she needed inside. She smiled and pumped her fist in the air.She was about to leave for her chosen spot when she was pulled back by her wrist into someone's arms. What?!She tried to struggle till she
CHAPTER 30She struggled against him at the risk of being sent away from the library forever. Who did this man think he was exactly?! Now she knew how Chris felt whenever she tried to hug him without his consent."I was spelled by Hailey's witchy nonsense. I had no idea where you were, dad wouldn't give me any clue", he scowled fiercely, disgusted at his father's attempt to keep him away from his mate. "I kept up with your posts on social media and knew exactly where to find you – Stop squirming!", he ordered.She froze, his alpha voice always gave her chills. He smirked triumphantly."So I enrolled, special privileges seeing as I'm now Moon stone's official alpha leader", he said proudly, ignoring how his hands were slowly but surely being pried away by Myla's strength.She had heard about it from Alphonse. Apparently, Alex had dueled with his father before his time and he had won."You were irresponsible enough to leave your pack huh!", She spat. He scowled at her. "I did it to bri
CHAPTER 31Noah steadied her and gently removed her from his person. "Don't you think it's time to come home, pretty lady?", he asked gently.Myla blinked rapidly. Home. Yes, that was where she was going before she collided head first into him. "Yeah I was on my way home", she held herself back from looking over her shoulder."Were you about to board a bus?", He asked accusingly, his voice bland.She cleared her throat. This was not the time to have this conversation. "Uh, I don't feel too good. Can we talk at home instead?", She rushed out, prepared to leave.Noah opened his mouth to answer before glaring at something above her head. She gulped and followed his gaze to see a ruffled and disgruntled Alex stalking over to her with murder in his eyes.Confusion superseded fear in her mind as she very pointedly observed that there was a small red drop at the corner of his mouth and he was covered in dust. Did the librarian deal with him? What kind of power would the librarian have to st
CHAPTER 32"Hush, she's asleep", Noah said, his body tensing, as if preparing for one of Chris' tantrums. "That's improper form you big oaf, you should cradle a sleeping person, not just lump them like a pliant log of wood", Chris dictated in a soft voice as he nudged Noah to go faster."Ah yes, sorry my good sir, I forgot you have experience carrying a lot of sleeping women", Noah whispered back sarcastically. She had to hold herself back from giggling and blowing her cover. She was primarily shocked. He didn't even order her death because his precious brother was carrying her.Noah followed Chris' words despite his sarcasm and her head rested more comfortably on his chest.Utter bliss. Utter bliss!All too soon, they got to her room. Noah seemed to debate entering, seeing as it was her room and all. He had no choice, he believed she was asleep so he would deal with whatever he saw.Luckily, she was neat so he wouldn't be traumatized.He lay her gently on the bed and removed her sh
Chapter 33The entire class failed the test, horribly. Except for Myla and Kollie. Due to this, they were swamped and surrounded by frustrated students questioning each other on what method of cheating the girls used.She remembered their professor hammering on the test, if they had cared enough to listen and study, they wouldn't fail at all. Myla frankly did not have time for this."Listen, y'all, Y'ALL!", she had to yell over the clamor of students. "PEOPLE!", Kollie yelled with her. The clamors continued. Ugh, what a pain.She packed her bag and rolled her eyes. These procrastination pioneers wouldn't let her enjoy her victory in peace here, she would hit a coffee shop with Kollie later She and Kollie escaped narrowly, leaving their coursemates to wonder where they went."Ugh I thought we'd never leave", Kollie rolled her neck to each side. Myla stretched tiredly.Their professor had spent roughly four hours berating their acquaintances, they had sat in the same spot and their
Chapter 34Myla burst out laughing. Kollie would never change, she found every form of eye contact with any kind of cute guy hot."You can have 'im if you want 'im", Myla chuckled.The lady furrowed her brows and squeezed her nose cutely. "Ew, I don't want him, you can keep him. He is a blight on my mental health now and you'll be paying my therapist", She replied matter of factly.Myla laughed. Disaster well averted.………Much much later.In the bustling confines of the mall, Myla navigated the bustling streams of shoppers with a practiced ease, her fingers hiding away in Noah's large hand. She didn't know how she did it, maybe it was so he wouldn't lose her in the crowd, but the moment they entered the mall, she reached for his hand and he actually firmly clapsed her hand.Utter bliss. The only thing threatening to ruin it was the fact that she saw the back of Alex's head at the entrance. Her mission for the day was to avoid him, and enjoy Noah's warmth.Noah, an oasis of tranquility
