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
Chapter 89Noah laid Myla on the long couch in their residence. The members of his team were scattered all over the living room in various states of tiredness."We would have been toast without you", Isabella cried, hugging Myla's stray hand close to her bosom."Uh yeah, where did all that healing shit go when I was nearly torn apart by your boyfriend!?", Alex asked, still reeling from the magnitude of power she apparently held.Myla rolled her eyes so hard she was surprised she hadn't fallen off the chair. "Look deep into yourself, did you deserve to be healed?", She asked with a scowl. Alex opened and closed his mouth in frustration before grumbling and folding his arms. "Enough with the chitchat, she needs rest, and we need to figure out why they had a hideout in a location where the moon barely peeks through", Noah said, laying a kiss on Myla's head and gesturing for them all to follow him.Zack didn't know whether to laugh or cry, they needed rest too!"Noah you all need rest
Chapter 90Alex yawned and opened his window. Why was his heart feeling pitter patter today? He wandered aimlessly around his home, not knowing what to do as this was the first time he had ever woken up so late. It was already noon."Coffee first", he said to himself before heading to his kitchen. He would forever deny the sound that came out of his mouth at the sight he met in his kitchen. "Ahhhhhhhhh!", He shrieked like a five year old girl. "How are you in my house?!", He thundered, standing a little off to the side in fear. He wasn't really scared, just a little scared. But who wouldn't be at the sight of a beautiful woman just casually lounging in their kitchen WHERE SHE DIDN'T BELONG!"Hey, was beginning to think you'd never wake up", the girl said coldly.Alex opened his mouth and closed it again."How are you in my house? I lock all the doors everyday!", He said in utter confusion."Ignore that, I need to talk to you", the brown haired girl said, taking a step forward.Ale
Chapter 91Kollie stood in the dimly lit room, her heart pounding in her chest like a tribal drum. The air was thick with tension, suffocating her as she unburdened herself of a secret she had carried for far too long. She had sneaked into Alex's home under the cover of night, her steps silent on the creaky wooden floor. The flickering candlelight cast eerie shadows on the walls, emphasizing the gravity of the moment.He came in not too long after, looking tired and horribly scarred. She watched as he collapsed on his bed and curled his arm around his pillow gently and suddenly felt a burning need to be that pillow. She shook her head. No, she couldn't possibly like him. Her goal was easy, get him to relax his guard enough that she would confess and he would protect her the u're of the big boss, she didn't need an Alex in her life at all.Now as she faced her mate, Alex, standing like he was trying to melt into the wall, she could see his face contort with a mixture of shock and disb
Chapter 92Kollie felt drained, mentally and emotionally. She had just been sneered at, yelled at by some, growled at by most and ignored totally by others. Even Myla looked at her disappointedly. She had left the gigantic building that was the headquarters of operation and was now on her way through the woods that would lead to her house, Alex trailing behind her. He walked to stop in front of her, possibly to placate her."Well, that went better than I expected", he tried to lighten the mood. Did he just do that? Did he just fucking try to do that?She blamed her bad mood for how she lashed out."Better? Better?! What were you even doing there?! You were of no use whatsoever! You should've protected me! That's how this thing between us should work!", She yelled. Kollie didn't know eyes were capable of doing whatever Alex's did. Alex's guileless dark eyes shuttered slowly and he started to furrow his brows. Fuck!"Uhm no, no Alex, I just lashed ou-"Alex laughed. "Of course", he ju
Chapter 93Noah should've known this would happen. He should have expected this, he should have expected the grudges and the hidden barbs that would be associated with Myla accompanying his team on patrols."You're trying to protect her? The iron lady?", Zack teased as they all literally just stood back and watched as Myla destroyed the will to fight in the witches in front of her.They had found another base, this time bigger, and more populous, Noah and the rest of them had begun dealing with the rogues, trying their best to get them out of Myla's way, because no matter how strong she was, she didn't have professional training, even though she was decked in protective fabric worse than theirs.Myla wordlessly ignored all the rogues and started a…debate with the witches about how stupid it was to join someone that wanted to get rid of your race.Obviously Myla was winning. They had all finished cuffing all the wolves, only to see about fifty or more witches looking reverently at the
