Chapter 48Noah hoisted Myla higher, his arms like steel bands around her waist. "What is it Noah?", She asked in a whisper after seeing his face. "Something is following us", Noah replied in the same low tone. "Something? Not someone?", She whispered again. Noah sighed. His lady needed to learn how to whisper."Yes I hear four steps instead of two", he said in his normal voice, since her whispering was just basically her talking anyway."Oh, oh no, what if it's a rogue wolf?", Myla asked worriedly. Noah furrowed his brows. "If-" "-You don't like to kill", she simpered sadly. She had heard him say it time and again that he didn't enjoy bloodshed.His eyes softened and he placed a kiss on her nose."I'd murder a continent for you", he said, punctuating each word with a kiss on the nose."Please don't", Myla replied easily, knowing Noah would never go after those that haven't viscerally wronged him. So no continent was in trouble just yet. Probably.Noah chuckled and pecked her on t
Chapter 49"I should have calmed down a little shouldn't I?", she said with a pout as Noah effortlessly waded through the shallow water."Ha! You should", he said, his hiking sneakers soaked and soggy."You know you should've removed your shoes before you started, those things are expensive", she glared at him."They'll dry out, don't worry Milady, I won't waste 'em", he replied easily. They had gotten out of the stream and were now on their way down.He refused to set her down no matter what she said or did. She was forced to accept that she would be carried everywhere for the rest of the day. Gradually, her soggy behind dried out.Myla's excitement became palpable as she could see the hotel. It looked like it could fit in the middle of her index finger so they were still a little far off, but atleast they had seen it. "Hotel ahead!", She informed the taller man who had most likely seen it several metres before she did. "Yes! I'm starving", he groaned."I put food in our backpacks
Chapter 50The wind blew across his face, making his hair go every which way, but there was a smile on his face. They were at the top of the cliff now, other people around them, laughter and fear coming from some as they saw the far descent of the zip line.Myla was wearing a large turtleneck sweater, while Noah wore a simple polo shirt, in the middle of the freezing cold. The insanely sexy man had a smug aura around him, an aura that Myla found to be exasperating. She only had herself to blame. She had entered the bathroom as he was naked as the day he was born, the only thing preventing her from seeing all of him was the foam in the bathtub as the shower rained on him. His eyes had darkened as she stood stupefied, admiring his gorgeous upper body. “You need anything Milady?”, he drawled, his silky voice deepening. “Who shares a room without locking the bathroom door?’, Myla had replied, her face a shade of red that beat ‘Clifford the red dog’ hands down. He smiled predatorily, s
Chapter 51It was now their turn.Strapped into their harnesses, Noah and Myla found themselves on the precipice of an adventure that held the promise of both exhilaration and breathtaking views. Myla's eyes shimmered with excitement, her enthusiasm palpable as she turned to Noah with a hopeful grin."Loosen up Noah, It's going to be so much fun! Just imagine the thrill of soaring through the air," Myla pleaded, a note of excitement lacing her words.Noah couldn't help but chuckle at her eagerness. He had never been one to actively seek out adrenaline-pumping experiences, and the idea of ziplining didn't exactly set his heart racing. Still, he couldn't deny the twinkle in Myla's eyes or the warmth of her smile. With a shrug and a good-natured sigh, he relented."Alright, alright, for you," he conceded, his lips quirking into a half-smile.Myla's grin widened, and she gave him an affectionate peck on the cheek. Noah grinned dopily and walked behind her.As they approached the starting
Chapter 52"What is it?", Myla asked him. He looked over to her conflicted and declined the call. "It's my mother", he simply said. Myla furrowed her brows, why did he look so constipated? Shouldn't he have picked it first? She was aware there was some kind of bad blood between the Kings and their parents, but did it run this deep?"Why don't you hear what she has to say first?", Myla encouraged. Noah groaned."No pretty lady, my mother doesn't deserve that hospitality, now let's go to the next thing you planned", he smiled and tried to lead her away. Myla wanted to dig her heels in. But this wasn't a matter she was familiar with, it would be rude to butt in. So she let him lead her away.The phone shrilly rang again. They both ignored it. The phone rang all the way to their next destination. As they got there, Noah angrily pulled out the phone and accepted the call."What the hell do you want?", He growled. Myla's eyes widened. She saw where Chris got his disregard for older peopl
Chapter 53Myla’s eyes widened as she heard Zack. “What do you mean missing?”“He was giving us correspondence about an hour ago and then he sent a code red”, Zack said, three men walked in after him, Adrien surprisingly included. What was he doing here?“What are you doing here then? Let’s go find him!”, Myla exclaimed, running in to get a jacket. She was halted by a hand on her shoulder. Zack looked extremely serious as he leveled her with a stare. “You’re not allowed to go anywhere”, he said, not unkindly.“Bullshit! I’m going to look for my boyfriend and YOUR boss!”, she tried to pull back but vampire strength was harsh. Zack smiled slightly as she said boyfriend. The other men behind were utterly shocked. She wasn’t surprised, they found out they were mates only two weeks ago it wasn’t exactly common knowledge.“I know how you feel Myla, I want to go looking for him just as much as you do, but my orders were clear, keep you and the twins safe, no matter what, there’s a search pa
Chapter 54Noah gripped the steering wheel of his car, his focus unwavering as he navigated the winding road that led him to an undisclosed destination. The sun had dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the landscape. As he drove, he listened intently to the voice that emanated from his discreet earpiece."Turn left at the next fork," the voice instructed, the tone calm and authoritative.Noah complied smoothly, his eyes scanning the road signs as he made the turn. The path ahead was illuminated by the car's headlights, revealing a narrow road flanked by dense foliage. He adjusted his grip on the steering wheel, the annoyance at meeting his father coursing through his veins.The voice continued its guidance, providing clear and concise directions. "Proceed straight for the next two miles, then take a right turn at the large oak tree."Noah continued. He couldn't help but feel like he was walking into a trap, he readjusted his earpiece, sending the directions to Zack throu
Chapter 55Noah jerked himself awake. He looked around the room, it was bare and brightly lit. Not a single thing in it except for himself and the chair he was strapped to. How tacky.He looked at his hands carefully before deciding to break free. His father knew just how strong he was, so he wouldn't give him bonds that were easy to escape from. He was right, the bonds were thin, made of sharp wire. If Noah pulled his hands, they would be immediately sliced off. What a psychopath he had as a father.There was no way he could tell the time. His wolf was calm, so there wasn't any reason to fuss yet. He sighed. A door opened to his right, his mother walked in. Noah sneered and kept mum."You irritating child, how are you awake so early?", she scowled at him. Noah said nothing. He should've blocked off her number ages ago, he thought she had good in her heart. It seemed he misjudged her character."I wish I never gave birth to you", his mother suddenly said. Noah's gaze clouded. He did
