Noah's POVThe room had an eerie feel to it, the quickness and the stench of antiseptics made it worse. I walked over to Storm and held her hand. "David, is she fine? Is she hurt anywhere? Does she need surgery? Why is she still unconscious? " I rambled the questions out but my eyes were focused on Storm."She's fine, the impact of the choking caught off the air in her brain for a minute but she's a fighter and so is the baby. She'll be back home in a day or two." He said, my brain had only heard the word baby, what the hell was going on?"Baby, what baby? Who has a baby?" Was he talking about Fiona?David's eyes widened and he cleared his throat."Oh, erm, so I'm guessing you don't know. " He loosened his tie. " Storm is seven weeks pregnant, I don't know why she hasn't told you, she's known since she was three weeks pregnant." My chest ached and my eyes burned, Storm was pregnant and I was going to be a father. How come I didn't know, how could she not tell me?"Noah, are you okay?
Ten years laterStorm's POV"Let go, it's mine." "No, it's mine." Identical sets of screams came from up the stairs, and soon the screams escalated to stomps and thuds, I took a sip from my glass of wine, waiting for someone to cry first before I climbed up the stairs to deal with them."Mom, aren't you going to do something about that?" I turned to see Fiona, she crossed her arms over her chest and glared at me, she was now a cranky fifteen years old and thought she was better than everyone. Fiona had grown beautifully in the last ten years, she was tall for her age, almost 5'8, her glossy red hair was pulled back in a tight bun, her lips were full and she had the eyes of a seductress. Fiona started calling me Mom when she was six and I remember how hard I cried the first time she said it."I'm waiting for them to draw blood." I glanced at Fiona over and couldn't hold the laughter that shot out of me.Fiona was dressed in a black crop top and short shorts with spiky black boots. Th
Storm's POV"Is she ever going to shift?" My mother said to my father as they prepared for the day. They seemed to forget that just because I couldn't shift didn't mean that I didn't have my other werewolf senses."I don't know, we'll just have to keep praying to the moon goddess." He sighed and I could imagine him rubbing his temples, he always did that whenever he was stressed or tired. " What about her mate, will she ever find her mate?" Mom asked, her voice cracking as she said the last word. My heart clenched, knowing that my mother was going through pain because of me."Hazel, please, let's not worry about that now. It's Storm's birthday, she's going to know if something is wrong with us, so put on a big smile and get ready to wish our daughter a happy birthday." Dad's voice rang loud and I could hear Mom shuffling around the kitchen."You're right, I shouldn't bother. Everything will be fine." Mom's fake cheery voice was so evident. I took deep breaths and then walk down the
Storm's Pov"What are you talking about? What do you mean by leaving?" She pushed me back and asked confused. I looked up at the woman who gave birth to me, knowing I was about to break her heart."Mom, I need to leave this town, I need to leave this pack, I can't do it anymore. Everyone here already knows me as the wolfless girl, soon the news about my behavior around Zachary is going to spread and I'll be known as the crazy wolfless girl. I don't think I'll be able to take it. Please help me." I begged. Mom was now sobbing and so was I."But where will you go? You've never lived anywhere but here, how will you survive?" She asked, her eyes filled with emotions."I don't know, maybe I could leave with Summer and her mate for a while before finding my feet." Summer was my elder sister, I also had a brother named Rain, yes, my parents had a thing for the weather."But Summer leaves in Red moon pack which is so far away, how will you cope?" "Mom, I'll be fine, I promise," I reassured h
Noah's Pov"Your girl looks good, Noah. " Jasper, my Delta and second in command said. I glared at him, pissed that he had the audacity to look at her and then turned towards where she was working, hoping to get a glimpse of her smile, but she was seriously concentrating on the drink that was mixing. I didn't know what I was doing here, it was too risky, hell, who was I deceiving, I knew damn well why I was here, my Lycan and I missed her. It had been over a month since we saw her and we were going crazy. "Dude, don't you think it's about time you claimed her? You know it's risky for her to keep roaming around without a pack. Her potion is going to wear off someday and it doesn't even work on Lycans. Most especially, you need her." Caleb said and took a chug of his drink. Nothing he was saying was a lie, I had to do something about Storm but I kept dancing around the issue. Caleb was one of my betas and he didn't have a filter on him. The ruckus from the bar stand piqued my interes
Noah's POVI didn't see her eyes close but I saw her sway and before I could get to her, she had already hit the ground. I rushed to her, picked her and carefully laid her on the bed. As much as I loved to see her naked and beautiful skin, I knew she wouldn't be happy when she woke up, I quickly dressed her in one of my shirts and covered her with the duvet. I didn't want her waking up while I was dressing her and throwing a fit. I leaned down and brushed a light kiss on her head before tiptoeing out of the room.Down in the living room, I called Jasper."What's wrong?" He asked immediately he picked up the call. "Why would you assume something was wrong?" I inquired. Jasper was very intrusive so it didn't surprise me that he could tell something was wrong."You hardly call unless it's an emergency or something is wrong. You're texter." Yes, he is good.I brushed my hair back with my fingers. " So I may or may not have claimed Storm as my mate last night." " WHAT!" He shouted so lou
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
