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
Chapter 60"Noah", she said again. She stretched at hand but before she could reach the side of his face, he smacked it away. It stung, emotionally and even more physically. She held her hand and looked at him at a loss. She could not forget him, nor could she take someone else for him. This was Noah, this was the love of her life. "It's you. You tried to kill my mate", he said coldly. Myla recoiled. Who was he talking about? "I'm your mate Noah, what are you saying?!", She stepped into his sphere again. He pinned her to a tree by her neck."How dare you lie to my face?", He said coldly. Myla's heart raced like a frantic drumbeat, a mixture of shock, fear, and disbelief coursing through her veins as Noah's grip tightened around her throat. The rough bark of the tree dug into her back, a painful contrast to the gentle memories she held of him. The anguish in his eyes was a cold, accusatory glare that pierced through her soul. Struggling to breathe, her own fingers clawed at his ha
Chapter 61Myla's hands shook as she drove over to Zack in the dead of night. She had found Noah but at what cost. It seemed he had lost his memories. How much did he remember?She was absolutely certain a witch was involved. That was why their marks turned black. But why did he accuse her, of all people, of 'trying to kill his mate"? Why did he recognize her as a villain? His memories weren't simply lost, they were fractured and tampered with.She held her neck several times during the course of the drive, still feeling Noah's rough hands. Despite the fact that he was literally out to kill her, she felt revitalized. She supposed it was the intricacies associated with the ethereal magic of mates, she felt brighter than before.She got to Zack and rapped on his door like a mad woman. In less than three seconds, he appeared at the door in a flimsy singlet and shorts that looked like they were shoved on by force.She pointedly ignored the way his hair looked like a rat's nest and the rec
