Third Person's POV It took Michael a few moments to realize the effect his command was having on Noah. He could see the tears streaming down Noah's face, his body trembled and shook. His chest rapidly rose and fell, he looked almost as if he couldn't breathe. He felt horrible and instantly regrets ever using the command and quickly lifts it. He watched as Noah quickly scrambled backwards away from him and winced when he fell backwards and fell off the bed. He could tell Noah's head hit the floor by the sound it made. Noah curled up on the floor into the corner and held his hand over his face as if Michael was going to hit him. Michael's heart broke seeing him like this. 'I never meant to hurt him, I just wanted to show him he couldn't talk to me like that. I wanted to show him I'm an alpha and he has to respect me.' Michael thought as he knelt down in front of him. He reached out for Noah but he started screaming and flailing his arms. He watched as Noah stood up, his breat

Noah's POV Leaving was difficult, just like when I went away for training. But somehow yet different, at least it was for me. Maybe it was the fact that I knew this was it and there was no coming back. I mean of course I would come back and visit, but I would never come back and live here. Maybe that's why it was so different for me. Or maybe they felt it too but I just didn't know. Either way, it was difficult and hard to leave. Once again there wasn't a dry eye as I climbed into the car. Although I did get some satisfaction from snatching the door out of Alpha jerk's hand and closing it myself. 'I'm not a fucking princess! I don't need my door held open and closed for me.' I thought to myself, satisfied. After driving for an hour, we pulled into a small diner for lunch. I look around as we walk into the restaurant. I've seen the restaurant several times as we passed by, but have never stopped here. So as we walked in I look around, taking in my surroundings for the first time.

Noah's POV I woke up feeling so warm and comfortable. I nuzzled into the warmth before realizing the warmth is moving. I freeze, confused and that's when I realize the steady rise and fall that I'm feeling is a person under me breathing. I blink my eyes open and lift my head to see the person I'm laying on is none other than Michael. I lift my head more and look down at him and see he's sleeping. His head is tilted slightly and his lips are parted as he made soft little snores. For some reason I didn't feel like I would freak out like I normally would. I couldn't believe it, but I actually feel relaxed and calmed as I look down at him. Feeling his warmth and the steady rise and fall of his chest. I take a moment to take in his features, something I haven't really done yet. I'm usually too busy being angry with him. Angry that he took me from my father and my family. Angry that he took me from my home and forced me to live here. Angry at the fact that he's an Alpha and I'm afraid

Noah's POV I was so happy the whole drive home. I officially had my first date ever! I couldn't believe it, I actually had a date! I roll the window down to feel the breeze and smell the fresh air as he drove us back. As the wind blew against my face, I remembered Aiden still hasn't woken up. " I'm going to go see Thaddeus and Aiden tomorrow, Aiden still hasn't woken up and I'd like to see how Thaddeus is doing." I said, then I thought of Luca. I'd also like to check in on him. I know he must be terrified from the attack and I'd like to make sure he's okay as well. It would be good to go home for a little bit and see everyone. I would also like to see Samantha and Tyler. I miss them, I spent over a year with them and I haven't seen them in a while. "Yeah that sounds like a good idea, I'll go with you. I'd like to check in on those two as well." Michael said. As I walked around the car, I could see the biggest smile on Michael's face. Ever since I decided I wasn't going to figh

Noah's POV It's been 3 days since my first kiss with Michael and things have been a little awkward, I guess you could say. At least on my end. My stubborn side seems to be rearing it's head again and I find myself avoiding him. Or maybe it's the fact that I feel a little embarrassed that I'm the one who kissed him.... Or maybe I'm just not sure how to act now when I'm around him.... Either way, I find myself trying to dodge him in the pack house. If I hear his voice coming from the room I'm heading toward, I turn on my heels and go the opposite direction. If I actually do see him, I feel my face heat up and I'm quite certain it's several different shades of red. Of course the smile on his face and the light chuckle doesn't help, it only seems to make my face heat up even more. Stupid Alpha jerk! I thought to myself then forgot what I even came into the kitchen for. Instead I grab an apple, (which I'm quite certain is not what I even wanted,) then turn on my heels and run toward t
