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
Chapter 56Noah jerked awake to Izolda sitting next to him. He had been moved in his state of unconsciousness. The room was rather bland. He was sitting on a bed with a light blue bed sheet. He was surprisingly unrestrained. It seemed his parents wouldn't mind Izolda losing her head."Don't even think about it, I've been given more blood", Izolda said. Noah turned to look at her. Her eyes were green, everything, the iris, the pupil, the part that was supposed to be white. It was all murky green."Why?", He simply asked. There were some people he decided were just batshit crazy. "I have to be a worthy mate for you ", she smiled coyly. Noah mentally held himself back from grimacing. He held a full body shiver of irritation back too. He generally despised women that held romantic inclinations for him, it just tended to irritate him immediately. Well, except Myla. But she was the exception to a great many things."You know mates are preordained", he shrugged, looking around the room dis
Chapter 57Noah had been missing for three months already. The twins already knew. The entire population of New York had been on lockdown since then.Everyone was complaining, Myla had a permanent headache. She missed him. Everyday without him felt like being drowned. The twins had resorted to sleeping in her room every night, she had resorted to overworking herself into depression. There was nothing, no news from Isabella, no news from Zack. They had been searching for three months, with the city on lockdown. They even raided their underground base, that much she overheard. They still found nothing.Myla was moving like a ghost everywhere she went, it didn't help that she had Tweedledee and Tweedledum follow her for everything she had to do. She had to make Zack threaten them with dismemberment before they let her go to the bathroom alone.She just wanted Noah back already, he was taking too long.Surprisingly, Chris had joined Tiana in school, some excuse about being less antisoci
"Do you even know how to drive that thing?!", Zack asked in a shrill voice, sounding suspiciously like a disapproving mother.She didn't answer him, instead starting to drive off. Zack knew she would leave him, Myla was stubborn that way. He quickly hopped on the back seat, riding pillion. "I don't get a helmet??!", He yelled over the wind. Myla drove hard and fast, leaving Zack clutching her jacket for safety. It served him right, he did the same every time he drove her in his car."You would've gotten one if you didn't spend hours talking about why I shouldn't leave", she yelled back, his best bet was to pray they didn't topple over."I despise you", he said darkly, trying to hide his face behind her back. Ironically amusing, an age-old vampire found himself gripped by fear—for his life, or perhaps his death, or was it his undeath? Maybe it was her intuition as his mate, maybe it was sheer luck. As she drove into the underground base that Noah's men had searched thoroughly without
Chapter 59Myla alighted the car from the owners seat. Dennis stepped out from the driver's seat and Dumhan from the shotgun seat. She sighed and caressed her nape reverently. Something was niggling at the back of her mind. She knew something would happen today, but what? At times like this she wished she had her mother's foresight, but unfortunately she was not the goddess. "What is it Miss Myla?", Dennis asked her. It appeared two years of following her around had clocked the John brothers into knowing her every twist of expression."I want to go looking for Noah tonight", she said, her mouth twisted down into a firm line. The two men looked at each other and started speaking to her in a tone that suggested she was going crazy again. "For the past one year none of our searches have yielded anything", Dumhan said gently, like someone trying not to further frighten a startled deer. Myla couldn't blame them, she had been prone to random and irrational bursts of anger."I have a feel
