Chapter 68Myla turned away from Noah’s door dejectedly. What a let down so late in the morning. Didn’t he even consider her status as Celia’s daughter? What a stubborn mule of a man! She always admired that about him at all times, except for now. For fuck’s sake she wanted a kiss already. She needed to bother Alex, true to her word. She dialed his number and sat on a fallen log somewhere on the outskirts of the forest, waiting for her brother to pick up her calls. She refused to address him with anything else. “Wotcher Myla”, he said in a funky british accent.“You sound really stupid right now”, Myla laughed boisterously. Alex scoffed derisively."At least mine is now alone, you sound stupid all the time", he said. Myla rolled her eyes like he could see her. "I can feel your fucking eye roll", Alex yelled. "That's the point, let's go get coffee", Myla said tiredly. "Uh why?", Alex asked in a confused tone. "Just because, yunno", she drawled out."No I don't, that's why I'm aski
Chapter 70When Zack didn’t see any unusual vibes from Noah throughout the period both of them deliberated and discussed about Noah’s father’s plans over the course of the weekend, he assumed he just imagined things, after all, it was over the phone and it seemed he had just woken up the other day.Although, surprisingly, Noah spoke with infinite calmness and patience, much like the Noah he used to know, completely unlike the Noah that was thrust upon them all recently. The Noah that came back from two years of disappearance was always fidgety, like there was something under his skin all the time, he was always grumpy and he seemed to be in permanent pain. However, at this point, with both of them spearheading the meeting with the powerful alphas, Noah was even slightly smiling. The only thing that bugged him was the fact that Noah had gently asked to see Alex and Myla together,’ to know what the moon goddess’ daughter was getting herself into’ he had said. “So, we’ll need a volunte
Chapter 71Noah felt vicious joy as the men looked like they found out their concubines were ghosts. He had heard all about the way they absolutely terrorized the moon goddess’ daughter. He had felt something akin to sharp claws tearing out his heart when he heard it. For some reason, she held unwavering loyalty to him, seeing as she endured the vile words and the occasional bold action. He would not let these men off slightly. They would suffer the absolute worst form of torture.. After all, what could make arrogant men feel tortured like making their subordinates their bosses?“You can, of course, jump an entire year of waiting for the regular level up exams…”, Noah trailed off, hooking their attention and dangling bait in front of them.Even Zack looked at him curiously, the entire room was charged with tension. Everyone was obviously expecting him to spit it out already.“By bringing in the witches. With every cooperation established, you jump up a rank”, Noah leaned back in his
Chapter 72As Noah sat there, utterly confused and wrapped in Myla’s warm embrace, he felt a trickle of emotions like a long-forgotten melody slowly resurfacing. Small fragments of his memory dripped into his brain, trying to piece themselves together. Noah stopped trying to move, instead focused on joining the missing puzzle pieces together.He furrowed his brows and tightly shut his eyes as they were escaping him. ‘No, don’t go’, he thought.Bits and pieces of he and…Myla’s shared moments flickered before him; a laughter filled picnic in the forest. The sparkle in her eyes as they watched the stars and countless conversations that had woven their souls together. He knew her. He loved her. She might not have been his mate but he realized he would lay his life down for her. Why was that?Why was he in love with two women at the same time? Why did he have the same feeling for the both of them at once?He felt his chest do something strange and looked down to see that it was faintly glo
CHAPTER 73As they got out of the building, Myla grabbed his hand like old times, twirling one of his new rings. He jerked his hand away with saucer-wide eyes and furrowed his brows before clearing his throat.“I didn’t accept because I want to date you, I accepted because you’ve been asking for over two months now and I’m tired of turning you down”, Noah said coldly, avoiding her eyes. Myla didn’t even feel anything, she was accustomed to his words. And she was immune.“Well, keep being tired, I’ll wear you down soon enough”, she shrugged and grinned, this time not holding his hand as they walked forward.Noah felt the phantom feel of her small hands in his, he seemed to remember it like muscle memory. His hallucinations in the afternoon were coming back very slowly, he remembered what it felt like to embrace her in his hallucinations. He also remembered something about a picnic but he couldn’t remember clearly.They entered Noah’s new car.“Don’t you feel bad, trying to take another
Chapter 74"Wh-what? What the fuck did you just say?", Myla said, her ears ringing as the high of what they just did came crashing down. She could understand if he said he didn’t love her, after all he didn’t have his memories, but calling it a mistake?!"I lost control, wear your clothes”, Noah said, buttoning up his shirt with a stony face. “I would have apologized but you seemed to enjoy it so no harm, no foul", he said coldly."What the fuck Noah!", Myla yelled, her eyes stinging, what was he insinuating?"I don't love you, I've never loved you, I will never love you, this…this was a moment of weakness for me, it will never happen again. Now do you want your lunch or no", he ended casually, he was fully clothed now.Myla shook her head repeatedly. No, this wasn’t her Noah, Noah would never say something so awful. Her heart was on fire and she resisted the urge to clutch her scantily clad chest to try soothing it."You're not the Noah I know! When did you become so cruel?", she sai
Chapter 75Noah didn't mean for it to go this far. He didn't mean to sleep with her. At least not so suddenly in his car. But he had been overwhelmed with lust when he heard her. He had finally done it. He expected that he would be free from his desires, he expected that he would get it out of his system, but all that came out of it was him wanting more.His wolf reacted viscerally, as if wanting to seal her to him permanently already.This could not stand.He knew he wouldn't live long. He could feel his life draining by every hour, he couldn't have her caring about him only for him to suddenly leave forever. For this same reason, he had limited his hanging out around the twins, he couldn't have them feel the joy that he was finally back only for him to die.He could feel her wolf sated, he could feel her joy at having her mate back. He could feel her happiness as she lay in his arms. Noah couldn't do this to her, or to anyone.As expected, she rebelled. It was better for her to hat
Chapter 76Myla bit her lip, she was slightly nervous. She was here on pure instinct alone. She hadn't asked her mother for any advice before coming, she didn't even know what he'd be feeling at the point she knocked."What the fuck?", Noah asked, his brows furrowed and his mouth twitching in a half snarl."At least let me finish my coffee, you really are a horrible host", Myla said a little seriously. The first time he brought her to his home more than two years ago, he just left her to her own devices. He really needed to change his hosting tactics."You…you….you…""Yes, me me me, what do you want from me?", Myla asked with a lilt to her voice. After careful consideration and brain churning, she came to the conclusion that Noah was hiding something. Their…affair was far too intimate for someone that didn't care.He looked scandalized, like he couldn't fathom where she got the audacity to talk to him like this in his own home. Frankly even she didn't know where."You're courting deat
