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
Chapter 62Noah's heart raced in rhythm with the wild, untamed landscape that stretched before him. The forest, a tapestry of hues and dappled moonlight, beckoned him onward as he charged through its depths. The thud of his boots against the earth echoed like a primal drumbeat, a heartbeat that synchronized with the pulse of the wilderness around him.The chase was on, a dance between predator and prey that woke up something ancient within him. His senses were heightened, every rustle of leaves and every shift of the wind guiding his pursuit. The scent of pine and damp earth filled his nostrils, mingling with the heady aroma of nature's raw vitality.His pursuit was singular, focused. The rogue wolf, a shadowy figure ahead, moved between the trees like a ghost, its movements fluid and instinctive. Noah's lips curled into a half-smile as he surged forward, his muscles flexing with every powerful stride. The thrill of the hunt ignited his senses, connecting him to his base primal instin
Chapter 63"Hey!", The girl sounded right beside him now. Noah startled and let out a small yelp. The girl now looked like she was holding back a smile. He refused to be bewitched. He didn't particularly remember much about his mate. He remembered how he was addicted to her, he remembered how her smile had a hold on his heart. He remembered how he would lay down his life for her. All things associated with his strong feelings for her, and nothing about her herself.He also didn't remember who the voice was from. But a voice had chanted solidly in his ears for 17 months, that the one that tried to take a mate from him would make the black patch on his chest burn. And it happened to be the woman that had snuck her way beside him without him noticing. "How did you do that?", Noah growled. She looked confused. "Do what?""The way you walked up to me without me feeling it", Noah growled, stepping into her personal bubble involuntarily. He must really want to kill her.The girl seemed to
Chapter 64Myla didn't know what happened, or what she said to make Noah amenable to not killing her, but she thanked her lucky stars. Maybe she could find a way to trigger his memories again.On an even better note, he was back. Noah was coming back to them. The twins would be elated, they wouldn't know what to do with themselves. He rejected her offer, but it was only to be expected, after all, he believed he had a mate that wasn't her.She turned and ran away to where she parked her car, calling Zack. She zoomed off without even looking back at Noah, the exhilaration at the fact that he no longer wanted to kill her fueling her emotions.She summoned her mother after she had reached a considerable distance. The goddess came in flare jeans and a knitted flowy shirt. Where did she pull her mother from?"Whoa whoa! You drive like a high drunkard", the moon goddess, Celia, said, fastening the seat belt quickly. Myla couldn't help but laugh. "Mom you're like, immortal. Why the seat belt
Chapter 65Noah was affronted. She just ran, without even looking back. Not even once. He had never seen anyone have such blatant disregard for him in his entire adult life. The wolf behind him whined and climbed on his back just to see her leave. "You talked to her once! Why are you so attached?", Noah asked his smaller counterpart in frustration. The wolf gave him a judgey look. Noah rolled his eyes harshly and went over to the rogue he had chased, the small wolf coming to stay on his shoulder."Change!", Noah ordered. The wolf shook before turning back into a human.He knew it. The wolves that chose to be rogue could change once ordered, they didn't have to die as wolves, but the ones that were afflicted with the poison were forced to die as wolves. It was because of the amount of poison given to those in each class. The upper class villains only had a little injected in them to make them stronger, while the forced ones were injected with full syringes.His heart bled for the inn
Chapter 66The power exchange had gone smoother than she expected. She almost wanted to retaliate for how easily they welcomed Noah and trashed her. Was she that bad a leader?Maybe it was less about her and more about their fragile alpha egos after being ordered around by an omega.Meeting the twins again was a more emotional moment. The bone-deep relief that coursed through Myla's veins was unlike anything she had ever experienced before. As she watched Noah embrace his twin siblings, who had been missing him for the past two years, a torrent of emotions cascaded within her. It was as if the floodgates of her heart had been thrown open, releasing a surge of joy, gratitude, and overwhelming relief.The journey to this moment had been a tumultuous one, marked by uncertainty, sleepless nights, and a constant ache in her chest. Noah's sudden disappearance two years ago had left a void that seemed impossible to fill. His absence was a heavy weight that hung over their family, casting a
continuation of epilogueMyla eyed her body in the mirror with happiness radiating off her in waves. Ever since she learnt she was pregnant, she had been experiencing a horde of different emotions, most of which had to do with her excessively careful husband.He banned her from Lunastra Aetheria completely.Noah, often described by friends as the "King of Caution," took his role of protecting Myla during her pregnancy to epic proportions. Determined to shield her from even the slightest mishap, he launched a campaign of double-padding that would go down in history as a legendary feat of parenthood preparation.The saga began innocently enough with the living room. Noah, armed with rolls of bubble wrap, foam, and a staple gun, set out to conquer the cushions. He layered the sofa with such zeal that sitting on it felt like being cradled in a cloud made of marshmallows. The coffee table, fearing Noah's meticulous attention, practically begged for mercy as he covered it with a cushiony fo
Noah and Myla's journey in Lunastra Aetheria was a mesmerizing odyssey that would reshape their very existence. Guided by the wisdom and magic of the celestial realm, they embarked on a quest to ascend beyond mortal boundaries and become the strongest and most powerful gods in this wondrous domain.Their initial steps in Lunastra Aetheria were filled with awe and trepidation. The silver-tinged sand beneath their feet seemed to pulse with energy, welcoming them to a land where the moon's influence was ever-present. They wandered through enchanted forests, where trees with leaves of radiant blue stretched toward the sky, their branches seemingly caressing the stars. Everywhere they looked, they saw signs of life in forms both familiar and otherworldly.Lunastra Aetheria, who eventually materialized into a semi-corporeal being, was a presence both ethereal and comforting. Her eyes held the wisdom of eons, and her voice carried the serene cadence of the cosmos. She spoke of the moon's ete
Chapter 107Seven mortals and one immortal climbed up Costa Starry at 12 midnight. Five mortals and three immortals descended Costa starry at 5am in the morning."Did we just save the world in the space of a night?", Isabella said, her legs swinging softly in Zack's arms. The ridiculous experience spurred Zack on to stop caring about what people would think with him and Isabella, meaning he was also allowed to stuff people with dog food."The jarring thing is that actually isn't the most spectacular thing that happened this night", Kollie shivered, supporting Alex. His leg wound was getting worse, Myla offered to help him heal it, but he insisted they got to the bottom of Costa starry before any healing. He hated the hill now."Yeah, I mean, I'm a goddess now?", Myla asked, touching the silver crown on her head from her spot on Noah's back. She had a feeling he would never allow her to step out of his sight ever again.Noah's heart raced like a wild stallion as he piggy backed Myla,
Chapter 106Before any of them could break down, Celia hushed them with a wave of her hand."You can't ever wake her up, you can only wake mortals up", the woman smiled ethereally."She's a mortal! She can't die, not yet. Please mother!", Noah begged desperately."You're feeding her life, when she's life herself", a new voice said, the air shimmering again. A woman stood floating beside the moon goddess. A man appeared, and another, and another, till the area that surrounded the eight of them were filled with shimmering people.Myla also began to shimmer, alongside Noah."W-what do you mean by life herself?", Zack asked, the only person other than Noah bold enough to talk to someone that seemed celestial."You'll see", Celia winked.As the night sky blanketed the world in darkness, the moon hung low, casting an eerie red glow across the landscape. Myla who was once lifeless, lay beneath the shimmering canopy of stars, her body bathed in the crimson hue of the bleeding moon. It was a
Chapter 105The weight of grief bore down on Noah, his heart shattered by the loss of Myla, his beloved mate. The echoes of pain reverberated through his very soul, leaving him in a state of despair and emptiness that he thought he might never escape. Yet, amidst the shadows of hopelessness, a flicker of desperate determination glimmered in the eyes of Hailey.Hailey stepped forward, her hands trembling ever so slightly as she first carefully collected the small, black, pulsating heart in her outstretched palms. It was a heart torn from the one that cast the incante. Its rhythmic beat pulsed in her hands, a testament to the life that had once flowed through it.It wasn't at all what she meant, but spells were fickle like that, so long as it was a heart, it could work.With a deep, shuddering breath, Hailey's gaze fixed upon the heart, her eyes reflecting a potent mixture of fear, hope, and determination. She knew the risks involved in the spell she was about to perform – the perilous
Chapter 104Noah's hazel eyes gleamed with an unsettling rage as he charged forward, leaving his companions stunned and wary.As the moon bathed Starry Hill in its eerie, blood-red glow, Noah's world narrowed down to a singular, burning desire for vengeance. His heart ached with the unbearable loss of Myla, and the memories of innocent lives taken by these malevolent witches and vampires fueled an unquenchable anger within him.He was in the midst of tranquilizing his parents. They deserved the death sentence, but he wouldn't be the one to kill them, he couldn't. They had taken so many innocent lives, they didn't deserve to live. His heart was pounding with the determination to protect Myla and the others.And then, in one moment, the bond he shared with Myla, a bond forged through countless shared experiences and a deep, unbreakable connection, was violently severed. It was as if a part of his own being had been torn away, leaving behind an agonizing void. A sharp, searing pain lance
Chapter 103Isabella raised her head."Why is the moon bleeding?", She shrieked as she scowled at the rapidly reddening moon. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at the moon."The air feels wrong", Alex frowned, trying not to sniff in the scent of death and blood in the air."It's a red moon! Attack already!", Someone yelled in front of them. Suddenly, several hundreds of people ran out to them. Kollie was the first to go down. She was hit in the arm with a fiery substance and when she checked it out the arm was useless. She bit back a groan, she couldn't afford to distract everybody now."Why are you even doing this?!", Isabella yelled at the people surrounding and attacking her from all sides. They weren't supposed to be this many, Myla should've used her sleep thing, why wasn't she using her sleep thing?"Well, I'll enlighten you", a woman in a clean cut white gown strutted front and center into the field."The orchestrators owe witches a huge deal, they get rid o
Chapter 102The team of eight gathered round the base of Costa starry. "Aren't we supposed to attack tomorrow night? What are we doing here now?", Alex bumbled, annoyed and rubbing his eyes fervently. Myla had woken he and Kollie up at midnight. Alex's first thought was that it was karma for what he did a while back, it turned out it was urgent, and she asked them to gather here."There are several moles, they've informed them, they're already recharging their powers", Myla said angrily, hurriedly wearing fingerless gloves and grabbing a tranquilizer gun."It takes at least three days to recharge after staying dormant, I think we'll be fine", Hailey said tiredly, yawning and eying the soft patch of grass in front of her."Well, the moles told them the minute we announced it. There were only 18 members in the meeting that knew about the ambush. When we get back, find the traitors", Noah said to Adrien, strapping his own gun to his belt."Uh, how many times can we shoot this?", Adrie
Chapter 101In a secluded training area hidden amidst the towering trees of a dense forest, Alex and Kollie stood side by side, their faces etched with determination. The air was thick with anticipation as they prepared for the impending battle that would test their skills and their resolve.Kollie, her fierce determination shining in her eyes, brandished a gleaming sword, the blade catching the dappled sunlight that filtered through the leaves. She had trained tirelessly in the art of combat, and her movements were fluid and precise, a testament to her dedication.Alex, not to be outdone, gripped a pair of sleek, custom-made pistols, his fingers caressing the cool metal as he checked the chambers with a practiced ease. He had honed his marksmanship skills to perfection, and his unwavering focus radiated an air of quiet confidence.They began their training, moving in perfect synchronization as they practiced various combat techniques. Kollie's sword danced through the air, her strik
