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
Chapter 84Noah dodged a rogue that Isabella flung skillfully away from herself. Noah found it hard to fight one handed, he also found it hard to fight trying to block his phone's mic as much as he could, as he was currently on a call with Myla."I'll be home in an hour, tops!", Noah placated. The progress she had made was slowly being countered by Noah getting to her later than he was meant to, and she was actually getting angry."What the fuck are you doing right now? And why are you grunting? Are you exerting yourself?!", Myla asked in a shrill voice, Noah imagined her putting one hand on her hip in annoyance. He smiled slightly."I'm training with the boys and Isa, to keep them in shape", he said easily. It wasn't too much of a lie, except this was an easy case of life or death if he didn't pay attention."Stop training and come back home! Who trains at 10 in the night?!", She asked angrily again. Noah kicked away a rogue running straight for him before quickly cuffing it. They h
Chapter 85Noah was exasperated. He and Alex were currently in a tense standoff. It was entirely unnecessary in his opinion, as he wasn't even the one interested in Alex's girl."Listen mate", Noah started, reclining in his ridiculously comfortable private office chair that emitted nothing but Myla's scent. She had spent a lot of time in this chair, which made it his favorite chair in the world. "You should leave off Adrien-""What?! He's actively taking my mate away and you want me to just sit back and relax?!", Alex asked angrily, bandhing his hand on Noah's table.Noah squinted in annoyance but quickly masked it, he wanted to be a therapist, not a disciplinarian."Yes, if your mate doesn't want anything to do with you, you should just leave her, explore your horizons", Noah said calmly.Alex looked like he was about to form another retort. Noah raised his hand and shook his head."I'm serious, if she doesn't want to be chased, don't chase her", Noah said again. Alex looked conflict
Chapter 86Myla was frustrated. She knew Noah was hiding something from her, and the lack of answers was making her grouchy. “Why don’t you ask tweedledee and tweedledum?”, Chris suddenly collapsed on the seat beside her. Myla startled and nearly flew off the chair. Chris had grown more annoying with his speed, no one could even hear when he moved anymore.“Warn me before doing that shit again, Chris”, Myla started, climbing to her seat. Chris cackled and focused on pushing her out of the way.“You will not treat an elder that way, Christian King!”, Myla breathed through laughter. “And that’s rude, they have names”, she chastised.“But Tweedledee and tweedledum is so much better for them!”, Chris argued. Myla shook her head at her own hypocrisy, that was what she called them in her head too.“They’re still Noah’s men, they wouldn’t tell me anything”, she sighed. “Of course they would, most people fear offending you more than they do Noah”, Chris shrugged, crossing his legs like a ro
Chapter 87Myla wrestled free from Zack and ran towards Noah. 'So stupid, he must be hurt', Wyla howled.Myla had seen the state of her mate, he looked like death, she couldn't let it stand.She ran straight into him, he didn't seem to expect it as he stumbled and nearly fell backwards.It was so dark, where had Zack brought her? She could only see immediately in front of her.Noah stood still. Myla lifted her hand and placed it on the side of his face. "Oh you idiot", she whispered affectionately. Noah let out a whimper and leaned into her touch.Myla felt tears on her hand and quickly lowered them to sit. He was so complacent, following her directions strictly. She sat on his lap and brought his head to her chest. His injured hands automatically wound around her body as he nuzzled like he wanted to be inside her skin. Myla smiled sadly. Would he have died if she hadn't found him? Why was it so bad today? It wasn't even 11pm yet."Y…", Noah tried to make a sound."Shhh, don't speak
Chapter 88The night was not so dark anymore, the moon had finally begun to peek through the clouds, like it was being urged by a friend.In the quiet of the night, with the moon casting its soft, silvery glow, Noah sat cross legged under the open sky, Myla straddling him with each of Myla's legs on each of his sides. His body ached from the wounds he had sustained during the recent battle, and exhaustion weighed heavily upon him. The poison had overreached due to his emotions, nearly turning him blind, but there was something extraordinary happening, something that held him in a trance-like fascination.Myla's eyes were fixed on his hands as her fingers danced gracefully through the air. Her touch seemed to conjure the moonlight itself, drawing it down in shimmering tendrils that enveloped Noah's injured body. It was a healing magic as old as time, passed down from the goddess of the moon herself.Noah watched in awe as Myla's fingers moved with a fluidity that seemed almost otherwor
