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
Chapter 94Alex woke up starving, which was to be expected seeing as he only drank water throughout the entirety of the previous day.He also woke up with a megawatt smile on his face, which was stupid and foolish, but he was a hopeless romantic at heart, he didn't have a choice in the matter.He padded over to his kitchen with bare feet, stretching and groaning along the way.He stopped short when he met club sandwiches on one of his plates with a note by the side."What the actual fuck?!", He asked no one in particular. Well he couldn't be sure it was no one, after all his own mate was proficient in the art of breaking and entering.He picked up the note and read it, his face gradually growing red."Hey Alex, it's Kollie. You're probably wondering 'how the fuck did this hoe get into my house again?!', well that's unimportant, what's important is my apology to you, for being a selfish asshat mate. You deserve better, and honestly I'm too selfish to let you go get what you deserve som
Chapter 95Kollie shot up from her seat excitedly, bounding towards the door. She had successfully changed a forced rogue back, it took her two weeks of backbreaking work and skipping school but she did it!Now she wouldn't be judged anymore, she had sorted out her own problems herself instead of blaming other people, she had grown up so much.Myla was a stellar therapist to be honest.Kollie banged open the door to where she believed was the conference room. These days either Noah himself or Zack would always be in there, at least one symbol of authority had to acknowledge what she finally did.She should have used less force, she really should have used less force. As the eyes of six people glued into her immediately, she felt like entering the ground.She was a confident person at any time of the day except for now. She hadn't had a proper shower in like a day and she didn't even know what she looked like in the mirror. She could play a tossup to the others and act casual, but the
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
