Chapter 21~Myla was in the front seat of Noah's black car as his stereo blasted out a cutesy beat song called "wait for you". She was bobbing her head as they were singing along.He was basically their designated driver, he had dropped Tiana at school an hour ago. Chris as usual was at home, this time with a baby sitter. Myla wasn't even surprised to see that the sitter was a guy.A cute one by the way, she resolved to befriend him."Are you nervous?", Noah asked as he bobbed his head."...yes, I'm nervous, and also not", she giggled."What a paradox", he raised an eyebrow, "you have nothing to worry about though", he patted her knee in comfort and went back to driving.She scoffed."What is it", he chuckled."That's rich coming from you, you drink margaritas at seven in the morning, you can not possibly understand what it feels like to be nervous", she looked at him accusingly.He shrugged half heartedly. "You're right, I honestly have no idea how to be. The trick is knowing when a
Chapter 22In all Myla had been imagining, she forgot one thing. School was school, college or high school, it was ridiculously boring. At least for most classes. Case in point, this class.She was half way into dream land when the girl beside her tapped her. "You're dozing off", she smiled gently.Wow! So ephemeral. She reminded her of the moon goddess."I'm sorry, it's just so…boring", she held back a yawn. The woman tittered. "Trust me, I know, that's why I brought ear plugs, he already shares his slides word for word, I just come to his class to study", the woman tipped.Myla was taken aback, wasn't this the first class for all of them?"How do you know all this?", She whispered surprised, she also determined in her mind to use this method."My older sister passed through his classes, she told me all about it, she's in sophomore year right now", she stretched her hand, "I'm Kollie, what's your name?""I'm Myla", Myla smiled. Was she making a new friend already?The lady blinked f
Chapter 23 "Please watch where you're going", the girl coldly said. She looked a lot like Kollie, just infinitely colder and definitely taller."I'm sorry, I'll make sure to be more careful", Myla apologized quickly. She didn't want to make any enemies on the literal first day.A quick glance at her side informed her that the baby alpha had quite frankly disappeared. Like literally disappeared from her side.'Damn, he wasn't cut out to be alpha at all', Wyla complained, annoyed at them being left alone.'He's just shy', Myla sighed tiredly.The lady's face suddenly broke from cold and icy to warm and friendly."I was just playing with you", the lady laughed, "We meant to collide with you, Kollie told me you're her new friend, I'm Kylie", the lady ended with a hand stretched in her direction.Myla sighed, relieved that she had not in fact made an enemy."You got me there, I was frozen", Myla giggled. She shook her hand."Your little friend left so quickly, am I that scary looking?", K
Chapter 24Myla's heart raced as the sunset cast an eerie glow over the tranquil park. The gentle rustling of leaves was disrupted by a low growl that sent shivers down her spine. She held down Kollie's rapid hand tapping her. She saw quite well the absolute bullshit happening in front of her.Fear tightened its grip as shadows seemed to dance in the evening. Suddenly, a chilling howl pierced the air, setting Myla's nerves on edge. Her fingers trembled as she clutched onto the grass, her gaze darting around for the source of the sound."It can't be!, this is a school, they would not be so bold!", Kylie declared as she kept the two girls behind her.Myla's breath caught in her throat as figures emerged from the trees, their eyes gleaming with a feral hunger. The realization struck her like a lightning bolt - rogue werewolves, driven by their primal instincts, were converging on the park. Panic surged through her veins as she exchanged a terrified look with Kylie and Kollie.The wolves
Chapter 25"Ro…rogues! Everyone get down!", Myla suddenly gasped as she woke up with a start. Did she die? Was she in heaven? She looked around and in less than two seconds, Noah was beside her. She was in her room, in…in her own fluffy robe.This was deja Vu all over again, except this time Noah was the one at her bed."Calm down Myla", Noah soothed, "It was just a nightmare"She shook her head rapidly. She wasn't imagining this, she couldn't possibly imagine it."No, no it was…it was real, rogues, they…they killed people, they attacked us on school grounds", she shook her head and grabbed Noah frantically.Noah gently removed her hand from him and patted her head."You resumed yesterday pretty lady, I came to pick you up after you were done with your classes, and I met your friends", Noah frowned. He looked genuinely concerned. Was she losing her mind?'That was a fucking real ass dream!', Wyla yelled in disbelief."Hmm, your school is the safest place from rogues as of now, don't
Chapter 26"No one knows how she created it, or why for that matter, although many say it's her desire to see the entire race unified, it seemed as though they were very confused in her generation", the woman laughed."Tell me about it, we're even more confused!", Kollie rolled her eyes."Although, in the past days, the moon goddess simply forced two people to acknowledge that they were good for each other, against their wills", their teacher continued."Now though, the newest moon goddess has taken it upon herself to make sure that both sides consent before a bond can be formed", the woman ended."Is that why we only see hints in our dreams and not the actual person?", A girl raised her hand to ask.The woman pondered."Maybe, she is VERY big on consent, but it seems to do more harm than good in this generation of clustered fools", the woman deadpanned.Murmurs erupted. Why was she angry all of the sudden? Was she heartbroken by her mate?"Anyways, the mating pull has seriously waned
Chapter 27Adrien's eyebrow twitched."Damn, your boyfriend is…richie rich", he blew out of his mouth, his face darkening by the second.Myla glared at him. "I don't have a boyfriend, don't assume".His eyes widened then narrowed suspiciously, but he gulped and nodded."I'm sorry for assuming, uhm, your friend is richie rich", he corrected.She huffed. " Yes, he is, and he's also averse to crowds so, bye", she waved and daintily walked over to Zack's flashy car. Did Instagram pay him? Was he secretly a drug baron? The window rolled down to reveal Zack wearing sunglasses and diamond studded face masks. Okay, he was hot, interesting, she knew that, don't freak out, don't freak out, it's only your celebrity crush and role model, nothing to freak out about."H–hi", she coughed and cleared her throat. He looked towards her. Oh fuck what a horrible first impression."I'm Zack", he stretched his driver's license towards her. Oh please, like she wouldn't know who he was."O–okay", she entere
Chapter 28"So how do we ask these questions? In what order?", She switched the hand holding her ice cream, "Me first? Or you first?", She asked Zack.He had eventually evened out his driving and they stopped to get ice cream when they saw a truck. Myla would never forget the adrenaline rush she felt running away from fans that recognized Zack. He had grabbed her hand with a laugh and superspeed out of the place. He was even faster than Chris. Talk about vampire speed!"Ladies first", he winked as he took a bite of his, with one hand on the steering wheel. He winced. "Ha! Serves you right! Who bites into ice cream like that anyways?", She giggled.He made a face at her. "I do, and I count that as a question so my turn", he smirked.She huffed."So, who are you to Noah?", He asked like a gossiping woman. Myla laughed at her thoughts."I'm his friend of course", she looked at him like he was dumb.He rolled his eyes. "No, I'm his friend, Isabella is his friend, you, are not his friend
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
