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
Chapter 77Myla abruptly ended their kiss and Noah tightened his arms around her, pulling her flush against him. "My questions", she struggled, trying to push against his chest. "You can ask them later", Noah said, bringing his mouth forward and falling on the bed with Myla letting out a yelp under him.He buried his face in the crook of her neck and sniffed, laying small kisses. Myla giggled, trying to escape his grasp. He opened his mouth and started sucking on the skin all over her shoulder when she grabbed fistfuls of his hair to lift up his head."No! I have pale skin!", She exclaimed. Suddenly Noah remembered. The entire rush of his emotions startled him. He remembered everything, from the moon goddess asking him to watch her to seeing her for the first time. He remembered it all. He remembered their conversations that always somehow turned whimsical no matter the beginning of the topic. He remembered the laughter. He remembered the happiness he felt everytime they held hands
Chapter 78Noah settled into the bean bag in the living room. He had no idea how he'd convince her to hate him, especially not when he had his memories back."I have rogue blood running through my veins", he deadpanned. Better to rip off the band-aid at once.Myla gasped, not properly settled into her chair before she launched herself up."What? Your parents were rogues?", She asked in fear. Noah squinted slightly. It seemed she was disgusted by rogues. It would be easier to get her to hate him than he realized. His heart twinged in sadness."Not were, they still are. Let's just say my father is making new rogues with poison. And I was bombarded with the poison, so I'm a rogue, and will probably go insane soon", he said casually, like seeing every expression that flitted across her face wasn't making his heart shatter.Myla looked to her lap as she sat. She stayed silent for what seemed like minutes."Is there a way to get the poison out?", She asked shakily."Death", he said in a low
Chapter 79Myla paced around the room. What could she do? She needed to help him. She needed to find a way to help Noah before it was too late.She had half a mind to summon her mother, but the moon goddess would be busy giving new mates at this hour, it would be annoying to be pulled from work.She sat on his bed, and wrapped his blanket around her. He smelled like he should again. Their scents were mixed completely, so much that she couldn't figure out where his began and hers ended. It smelled right. She closed her eyes, going through her mind, trying to figure out how to extract poison from the bloodstream. That was why he hadn't hung out around the twins for so long. She wiped a tear with her sleeve, thinking about how Noah hadn't even enjoyed having a mate for long at all.The tiny wolf with adorable lavender eyes came to sit in front of her face. She smiled and smoothed his fur. His eyes looked a lot like the shade of Noah's wolf's eyes. She loved the colors of Noah's eyes, re
Chapter 80Myla's eyes filled with understanding, she reached out to Noah, her heart aching for him. He looked guilty, and she could see the self hatred swimming in his eyes.Noah's usually unyielding facade was crumbling, he didn't hesitate. With a mixture of vulnerability and longing, he pulled her closer, nestling his face in her hair. He pulled her close, and she could feel the tremors coursing through him as his arms enveloped her. It was Myla who had initiated this hug, and she did it with the profound awareness of how deeply Noah had been affected.She could feel his ragged breath against her shoulder, and she ran her fingers gently through his hair, soothing him with her touch. It had been a night of chaos and fear, and Myla knew that Noah had been shaken to his core. Noah had lost control and bitten her. He had sealed their fates without being able to soothe the terrifying pain Myla felt as his teeth sank into her skin.It had been a moment of sheer terror, and Myla's heart h
Chapter 81Noah bolted up, dislodging the lady in his arms. She almost fell off the bed save for Noah quickly holding her back. He pulled her back safely to the bed, putting her beside him again."Who -what- whats going on?", Myla asked in a panic, looking around frantically. She was breathing hard, being launched early in the morning wasn't precisely the wake up call she thought she'd get. Noah squeezed his eyes shut and yawned. A long and loud stretch followed the action, his long legs and long arms going askew.He opened his eyes tiredly blinking blearily at her. Myla had never seen a hotter sight. She surveyed him from head to toe. She had never seen a just awake Noah ever and she was feeling like she had missed out on great things.Noah's lips quirked up to the right and he watched her through hooded eyes."Morning my lady", he propped himself up with his elbow. "Hi. Why'd you wake up like that?", She asked, her priorities refusing to waver.Noah groaned and rolled his eyes. "
Chapter 82Zack had never been so pleasantly surprised in his long life.Noah had always been known for his intense focus and unwavering dedication to his work, more often than not, it was a huge pain in the ass, but on this particular day, there was a noticeable change in the air. As he settled into his chair at the head of the conference room table, a relaxed and laid-back vibe emanated from him.Zack wasn't used to this brand new Noah. Before his long years of going missing, he always had this rigid way of holding meetings, he wasn't brutal, but he also wasn't nice. Only a select few people got the privilege of seeing Noah as his playful self.After he came back, he was even worse. He was actively hostile, ready to tear into the alphas. They were incompetent, yes, but the majority of the new ones just needed guidance. Noah had gotten rid of the rude old men that wanted to reign sovereign, leaving the fresh meat out for Noah to dry.Although, now Noah looked…happy.The early mornin
Chapter 83Noah threw eighteen cuffs in his cross bag and smoothed his hair with his hand. It was time for his team to roll out on patrol. His team was the only team short of one member. Unlike what he expected, Alex acted like a…fanboy. He always found Alex looking at him with a tinge of admiration, it was freaky, and it made him feel guilty for the plans he had in mind."You're dressed so casually", Isabella accused him with a glare. Noah grinned."I have to pacify the big boss after patrol", he shot finger guns at her and carefully put his brand new phone in his chest pocket before zipping it up. Myla had bought it for him just a week ago because she wanted them to use the same type, it had obviously become his most prized possession."No more dog food please!", Zack yelled from behind as they filed into the heavy duty jeep. After the first three patrols, Noah decided that the sturdy car was the best, as the rogues had taken to smashing their large furry bodies against whatever fo
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
