NOAH’S POV.For decades, I’ve found myself getting less attracted to women with each passing day, up until I met the blonde in the rain and recently, my red-haired employee. Surprisingly, both have the same color of eyes, deep green, with an out worldly glow in them, one could stare and get enchanted by it seems to be drawing me into them.The last time I let myself get distracted from my goal, terrible, bloody things happened to the people I cared about and I was not about to repeat the same mistake. Removing my focus from finding my mate and focusing on the root of such a trickle of attraction would be stupid and I pride myself on being someone who prioritizes important things and doesn’t get distracted.I walk over to the car and instruct the driver on the location of the place the meeting is to be held, and I’m about to get in when I hear footsteps running towards me.“Sir! ehm Mr. Noah, I'm sorry for my lack of coordination and my uncultured manners… towards both you and your
NOAH POV“Everywhere is drop-dead silent, no moving bodies, everyone stands in a frozen state.I look up and glare at the culprits.“I'm sorry Alpha.” Both the witch and werewolf say while my second in command just smirks. It's obvious that both the witch, Zara, and the werewolf, Druid, were dueling seriously, and the spear was enchanted.Still, with a hard face, I look around to find the entire place in a mess, with weapons scattered around.“Clean this up,” I say, which they hurriedly did, they know well enough that I don't need to give a verbal warning, the look is enough to tell them it shouldn't happen again.I look up the stairs to find Liam still standing with that foolish smirk on his face. It's a wonder I've tolerated his insolence this long.He has been there through every single thing that's why I give him the benefit of doubt and that's why he is my beta, the second in command.“Ectrapian,” I say with a low voice and before he could register that I cast a spell,
CHAPTER EIGHT“ See you tomorrow,” I say to my colleagues as I step out of the office. Today was surprisingly splendid unlike how it started. I got to my office and made a few changes as nearly everything was placed to my taste. Mrs. Greenwood was extremely nice and friendly even after I told her what Mr. Noah instructed.At the thought of him, I sigh loudly, 'what an arrogant man.’He is so infuriating, he made me so self-conscious the entire day after he called me Chipmunk. I kept checking myself in the mirror to see if I was in any way looking tattered. I even asked Mrs. Greenwood if my appearance at work is the right one. She gave me a weird look and asked why I would think it was not. I'm still wondering where he got the name from.I arrive at my apartment and I hear loud music coming from within I have a pretty good idea who is responsible for it. I walk into the open apartment to find Reina in a new extremely expensive-looking office suit with a bottle of sparkling wine i
Noah’s POVI stare at her as she hurries from her office towards the elevator. She looks as stunning as usual, the way her tight long skirt accentuates her curves and the way the two buttons on her shirt, kept open for comfort, although it looks responsible, still speaks promises of not just full luscious tits but also full succulent breasts.With heavy strides, she makes her way to stand beside me as stiff as a statue. Throughout the elevator ride, she doesn’t say a single word, though she gives not-so-discreet occasional glances minus that, she doesn’t react other than that and this amuses and annoys me at the same time. The fact that once in the presence of other people, she is as bold as a peacock, and when we are alone all she is capable of doing is stealing glances at me, puts my perspective of her in a twist. I walk out of the building with her hurrying to keep up with my long steps.My mind could not keep away provocative images of her, try as I might, right now all I can t
JASMINE’S POVI wake up feeling extremely relaxed, more relaxed than I’ve been since I can remember. I turn slowly, enjoying the softness of the bed, standing up lazily with the mindset of preparing for work, I take in my environment and shock settles in as I realize I’m not in my room. I turn and look at the bed I’m still sitting on, it has a grey cover and I don’t own any grey covers. I stand up immediately and then it dawns on me that I don’t know where I am. Looking from black curtains to the grey bedsheets, to the extremely dark and manly interior decoration.Was I kidnapped?I search for the door in this very huge room and I walk speedily to it when I see it, turning the handle only to find out that it is locked, I jiggle it fiercely but it doesn’t budge. “ I see you are finally awake.” I hear a very familiar voice say as I freeze totally shocked.Finding my bearing after a few seconds, I turn slowly and face my boss half naked and staring intensely at me. I notice the o
NOAH'S POVI have been unable to focus since Liam brought back news of her true identity. I also found out that she is the same girl I met on the night I went in search of my mate. To think I found her then and didn’t know it was her. I wonder what she’s doing back at the mansion.I sigh at the fact that I’m already craving her badly and that I can’t focus at work. I decide to head back and talk to her rather than keep procrastinating. I don’t think she even has an idea about her true origin.I head back with a resolve to call her out on her lie about her identity that she and her friend choose to make up and why she would do it.I arrive at the mansion earlier than usual to find it bubbling and lively rather than its usual gloomy appearance. I guess everyone is already aware of her presence but how could they not be she has such a unique scent unlike anyone here.I can’t help but smile, it’s been a while since we’ve had this kind of energy, centuries to be precise. Noticing my
JASMINE’S POVAfter dressing up, I step out to find him sitting on a chair working on his laptop on a desk, typing away with incredible speed which doesn’t even surprise me anymore.I also see a table in the middle of the room with two chairs across each other, beautifully prepared, there are rose petals scattered on it and in the middle, there’s a scented candle that gives this after-rainfall scent, I guess. I can’t help the smile that spreads throughout my face at the sight, I’d say it almost has a romantic look if I didn’t know better, maybe he just likes eating in style.Noticing my presence, he puts off his laptop and turns towards me, taking in my appearance and he looks stunned as he eyes me from head to toe.I watch as he walks over to a chair silently, eyes never leaving mine.“Dine with me and afterward we will talk.” He says with a calm voice though authoritative enough to not be declined. One second he is being mean, the next, imposingly sexy, and now he’s acting nice
NOAH’S POVI sense the battle in her mind as she tries to process everything I just said and I can’t help but worry when I see sadness in her eyes. She looks ready to leave it all behind without giving it a chance for fear of failure.'I'd be damned if I let go of her now that I’ve found her.’ My wolf says strengthening my stance on the matter.“ Let’s go meet our people,” I say to her as I tug her upwards, at least she doesn’t resist but she doesn’t look enthusiastic about it either.No matter, I would give her enough reasons to not consider escaping this, a lot of souls are at risk and she needs to understand that presently by virtue of fate's design, their lives are in her hands.I silently lead her out of the room, into the lobby, and head down the stairs to the main hall where everyone was busy in preparation for a banquet in her honor.Heads turn and bow at the sight of her before returning to their various indulgent, I watch her closely as she smiles gracefully but nervou
