Storm's POVI couldn't quite believe my ears, I laughed in disbelief."That was a joke right because if it was, it wasn't funny." He shook his head and pulled off his wet shirt, I quickly diverted my gaze upwards and fixed my eyes on him. I knew what he was trying to do, he wanted to distract me with his gorgeous and well-chiseled chest but I was smarter than him."I'm not joking. Storm, you're my mate. I'm not going to let you leave me. You bare my mark." " That was a mistake, everything that happened was a mistake. I'm leaving, I can't be mates to something that is supposed to be a myth." I got down from the bed and swayed immediately my feet touched the fall, and my hands quickly located the vanity table to stable myself. Noah moved to touch me but I shook my head."I'm fine. I don't need your help. What I need right now, is to get the fuck out of here." I found my clothes on a chair at the other end of the room and knew I was going to have to pass by him on my way to get them. I
Storm's POV"Aren't we in your pack?" I asked confused, most werewolves always stayed with their pack with the exception of me though, I wanted far away from mine but anyone could understand why I did that. "No, I just bought this house because I wanted to be close to you. My pack is Coral Pack."" I've never heard of it."" Most Lycan packs are hidden from the knowledge of other supernaturals. But you don't need to worry, it's going to be your home soon." He smiled and started heading upstairs. "I can't just up and leave. I have 2 jobs, you know. My employers and coworkers are going to be worried about me. They'll probably call the police thinking that I've been kidnapped." There was no way I was going to let Noah just uproot my life.He stopped at the top and turned to look at me, his eyes were so calm and that made me a little bit worried. "You don't need to worry about that. No one is going to look for you. I open both the cafe and bar that you worked out. I'll send word to th
Noah's POVThe conference room was filled when I entered, my committee had arranged themselves according to their status and ranking, and they stood to welcome me and sat when I had taken my seat at the head of the table. Jasper was seated at my right and Caleb at my left."Good morning everyone, I've been away for a week for personal reasons but I'm fully back. I doubt if anyone else knows this so you gentlemen and ladies, " I nodded at two of my enforcers. " are the first to hear this good news. I have found my mate and she's here with me in our pack. I will be formally introducing her later so I want you all to treat her with the same respect that you give to me. She is now your Luna." I looked around the table, making eye contact with each person to make sure that they knew I meant business.The room was silent for a minute, it seemed like they were too shocked by my words to go or say anything, then, someone said congratulations and soon everyone followed after. "I see you've ma
Storm's POVNo matter how hard I tried to steer clear of Noah, it was hard. I wanted him to touch me, hold me, and kiss me but at the same time, I wanted him far away from me. Cooking dinner with him was almost therapeutic and highly sensual. The way he tied the apron over his waist, how his hands moved meticulously to chop the onions and vegetables. The way he stirred the food was like it was his creation.At one point, I had to excuse myself from the kitchen and went to the bathroom to pour water on my face and reorganize myself. Of course, the food was perfect, I expected nothing less."This is so good." I moaned, taking a bite of my chicken.He smiled pleased and took a sip of his wine. "I'm glad you liked it.""When did you learn how to cook? And how did you learn how to cook this well?" I was curious about him, I barely knew anything about him."Rainstorm, I've been alive for over two hundred years, I had a lot of time to learn and perfect my cooking skills. But originally, my m
Noah's POV"Are you insane, Amanda? What the hell are you dressed this way?" I quickly covered her up. I looked at Storm who was frozen as ice. I quickly moved towards her."Storm, are you okay? It's not what it seems like." I touched her arm and she flinched and moved away from my hold. "It's not what it seems like, tell me your ex-lover didn't just show up, dressed in lingerie and a trench coat." She spat out, she made air quotes when she said the word, ex-lover. "Storm, please believe me, I don't understand why she came dressed that way." I turned and scowled at Amanda who replied by blowing me a kiss. Fucking hell. I tried to touch her but she smacked my hand and walked out of the room, heading up the stairs. I followed her, trying to stop her."Storm, please, let's talk about it. I know you're mad but storming off won't do any good." She paid me no mind but entered our room and slammed the door in my face. Pissed, I growled and smashed my fist through the wall, leaving a dent.
Storm's POV"You've got to be kidding me. I just got here and you already want to make me the Luna of the pack. Noah, you know I don't want to be here, you know I don't even want to be your mate. I made a grave mistake that night and I'm still paying for it but why the hell are you rushing me to become the Luna?" " Rushing you? Storm, I'm not rushing you. I've been an Alpha for almost a hundred years, my pack hasn't had a Luna for that long. Most Lunas have their ceremony a few days after they mate with the Alpha. I'm actually delaying yours so that you can get used to the pack. If I delay it any longer, my people are going to get antsy and that's not going to be good for us." He threw his hands into the air, I rubbed my temples, his words were causing a migraine.He moved closer and sat down next to me on the bed, "Hey, I know it's not easy but it's who you were destined to be. If you're not ready to go with me to the pack house, it's fine. You can go another." His voice was soothin
Storm's POV" What the hell are we going to do?" Noah leaned and whispered into my ears. I wished I knew.I rubbed Fiona's back as she wailed in my arms, it was heartbreaking to see and I felt bad that I didn't know how to fix it. "Hey, Fiona, I know you don't want Storm to go but Storm wants to go home and rest. She's very tired." He gave me the eye and I faked a yawn. Fiona raised her head to scrutinize me. My heart pricked from lying to her."If she's tired, she can sleep in my bed." The sweet girl offered. I shook my head."I can't sleep in your bed, it will be too small. You know what's going to happen. How about I go home and come back tomorrow then we can spend time trying out different hairstyles. If I spend the night here, I won't come back tomorrow and we won't do all the fun and exciting things that you love to do but if I leave, I swear on the Moon goddess that I will be back tomorrow. Do you like cookies? We can bake some tomorrow." Her ears perked up at my words and he
Noah's POV" Storm, we've talked about this already. It's just nerves, why don't you get some rest and we can talk more tomorrow." I ran his hands over his face.She stood abruptly. " Stop it. Stop trying to make me feel like I'm not okay. Noah, I don't belong here, I'm not a Lycan and I can't even shift. I've never belonged anywhere not even in my pack. I want to be free, I want to go back to the city, to my old job. I want to leave among the humans." Her voice was wobbly. Goddamnit, today had been a good day, what the hell happened."Storm, I'm sorry if I'm making you feel that way but I can't lose you. You know what will happen to me if you reject me and break our bond. I don't want to lose you." " I know." She said in a quiet voice. " What if… what if we don't break our bond. I won't reject you but you'll let me leave." She bit her fingernails." What about me? What's going to happen to me when you leave?" What she was saying was absurd and there was no way I was going to let her
