NOAHTelling everything to Andrew made me feel lighter, hiding all this from him was making me very anxious, after all we are in a relationship, we are predestined and it wouldn't be fair to hide something so important from him. What we should be doing right now is thinking carefully about escape, but his mouth devouring mine doesn't allow me to think about anything but the sensations. I feel happy and relaxed when his tongue meets mine. His lips are extremely soft, what started as a tender, soft kiss is taking on a much bigger, hotter proportion for the moment. My tongue roams his mouth as I wrap my hands around his neck and our kiss becomes more intense, my heart beats a mile a minute. Andrew pulls away from my lips, our breaths ragged. I open my eyes, and meet his intense and warm gaze at me, I smile slightly at him, who moves away a little.— What's it? — I ask him, while watching him stare at nothing in front of him.— Nothing.— Nothing? And are you like this?— It's nothing, No
NOAHBefore I turn the handle, it turns on its own. I look at Balck, my heart is beating wildly, instinctively holding tight, and the other person says something.— I think they must have locked it, I can't open it!The voice on the other side of the door is high pitched, too irritating, and familiar to my ears. Artanis. The sound of her voice is silenced, we stand there for a few minutes, in silence waiting for some movement, and apparently she seems to have gone away.— I think we can go now! — Balck exclaims. — How did you manage to hold the door? Was it the ring?— I think so, I wouldn't have so much strength to hold the door with just my hand![...]— Wow, it's so dusty in here! — Balck says admiringly.— Of course, since it was isolated, no one else has entered here, other than some magic preventing anyone from entering! — Andrew responds.— How are we going to get out of here? Do you have a plan? — Balck asks.— So, it looks like they still haven't realized that the guards have
NOAHI open my eyes with difficulty, a bright light makes it difficult, but it's not the glow of the ring. The sunlight hits my face, I cover it with my hands to block the rays, that's when the images pop into my mind, hitting me so hard I have an instant headache. What a realistic dream, it was the most surreal dream I've ever had. Wait... I wasn't dreaming! Everything I saw was real, I ran away from the Palace, and along with me were my brother and Andrew.— Balck, Andrew... Where are they?I hear the bedroom door opening, but where am I? I look at my body, I realize that I'm wearing clothes that aren't mine, a T-shirt that shows my arms too much, and my torso is practically naked, in addition to a pair of shorts that expose my legs. The first reaction is to cover the body with the sheet. The person enters. Long hair, a tender smile on his face, stubble. My Alpha, Andrew.— Are you okay? he asks, comes over, sits next to me, and something in his worried expression startles me.I l
NOAHI go downstairs and follow the delicious aroma of coffee that comes out of Veronica's kitchen, who is sitting with a cup in her hand. Next to her in the picture is a boy with the same welcoming smile. He has the same dark skin as Veronica. He turns around the moment I step foot into the kitchen.— Hi, I'm Luke! — he says, standing up and extending his hand towards me. I smile back and try to smile as he smiles back.— Hi Luke, I'm Noah!— He's my son, Noah!— Veronica, have you seen Andrew? I woke up and he was gone...— He left early in the morning, accompanying my husband, in order to find out something about a young man you are looking for...— It's my brother, he was with us...— When did you have an accident? — She asks, but I don't remember saying that, maybe it was Andrew who told that.— Yeah.I answer and sit at the table next to Veronica and Luke, and enjoy the pancakes with strawberry jam. After having my coffee, we go to the living room, just the two of us.— Come on
NOAHWhen I open my eyes and around me I see the crystalline waters of Lagoa de Pedra. I squeeze Andrew's hand who still has his eyes closed.— Open your eyes, we're back, Andrew! — when she hears my voice, she does what I say.— Good, I think we can look for Balck now!— I think we'd better head to the territory, there we'll ask Duric's help to find Balck, I don't want to run the risk of stopping in another place, or another dimension!— I think you're exaggerating with this story of another dimension, but I have to agree with you!— Then let's go... — As soon as I speak, he takes my hand and we follow our path towards the main road that leads to the Petrified Forest.[...]When we finally see the entrance to the territory, before we can take another step, we are surprised by some soldiers who were hiding among the trees.— Stop, where are you going? — one of the soldiers asks, and I lower my hood, followed by Andrew. — Noah? Why are you here?— It's a long story! We need to talk to
NOAHWhen Duric talked about whether we had time to hear what he had to report, I already know that there are many stories, he loves to tell them. And as I expected, he always starts at the beginning since the foundation of Ascabaltt, and then goes on to talk about something like a kingdom with a huge population formed by men and women of Lycanthropic nature, divided between Alphas, Omegas and Betas.A Kingdom divided into four large State Cities, the first Venas, close to one of the branches of the Alerro River that surrounds the entire extensive territory of the other State Cities, was governed by thePrince Algor, from a noble lineage of very powerful and sensitive Betas. The way he talks about Algor makes me think they once had a romance. The second, Conrai is very close to the mountains of Ascabaltt, and was ruled by Duric himself and the most distant lineage of his family, they had an incredible intelligence for war strategies.The third Royal House is to the south and is called
NOAH— He's always wanted the throne, it's the great obsession of his life! — He accused me and Algor of having taken the lives of Moriam and Sattir, and since Killian was in meditation, we had no one to help us!— My mother also suspects him to this day!— Because she was married to him, and lived with her father's dark side.— Too bad he has the alibi of being on a drunken night with Guilhermo! — Andrew exclaims.— Like this? If he always said he was on an expedition to Volcann...— He never said that to my mother, he always said that he was drinking with Guilhermo in a tavern!— Can we use that against him?— I don't think that information is worth much today, after all, twenty years have passed and he can claim so much, besides him being the King and not allowing a new investigation to be opened against him!— Ah... We forgot to tell, someone appeared claiming to be the Lost Prince...— What? At whose behest?— We do not know! Andrew replies.— That sounds like the sort of thing W
NOAH— If you are brought before the Council, you may be put to the test and given the choice between staying with me or abdicating the throne!— What? What's the idea, Andrew?— But it's true, Noah! — I don't feel good about this situation, I...— So, you want to break up, is that it? — This is what you want? — I ask, and my heart beats wildly, I feel my eyes teary. — You seem to have forgotten that we are predestined...— I haven't forgotten that we're predestined, and I don't want to break up, but I can't look at you and not remember all the harm my father did to you, you know?— I know it's not easy, but I don't look at you and see the son of the man who hurt my family, I see the man I love, my fated mate![...]A few days passed, and the situation remained the same, even after the conversation we had. Andrew still thinks he doesn't deserve to be by my side because of everything his father did, and because he thinks that the people of Ascabaltt will punish him for it, and they won
