Noah ~•~“What are you going to do?” I asked, my once relieved mind filled with tension again. “I knew it was a bad idea,” I said, my voice cracking slightly. Katie wanted to speak but her words failed her. She just broke down into silent sobs and I pulled her into a hug. “Is it a normal thing for witches to pass out after doing a difficult spell?” I asked softly, my voice barely above a whisper.Katie sniffed back her tears before responding. “Yeah, it happens sometimes but I didn’t want something like that for my siblings.” “Everything is going to be okay.” I tried reassuring her with a pat on her back. “Can I go inside the room now? I want to play with Dahlia!” Katie’s little sister, Sophia, came running up the stairs and stood at the edge with her hands crossed over her chest. “Just wait a little bit longer, you can’t go inside now,” Katie replied, forcing her voice to be steady. Sophia wasn’t pleased with the answer and she frowned her face before heading back downstairs.
Noah~•~I spent the previous night at Katie’s house. Her parents weren’t still back from their trip so we spent the whole night laughing, chatting, and watching movies. It had been over five days since the winter formal. Everything was back to normal and I was having the time of my life. Except, Aiden and I weren’t on talking terms. He decided to let me be when he tried talking to me several times but I was shutting him out. I just needed space and a little time away from him. I didn’t know if it was only because he didn’t tell us about the hybrid blood but I couldn’t bring myself to be around him. Jernard, on the other hand, hadn’t given us any problems since then. He just distanced himself and claimed he wanted to start his pack. Since he wasn’t causing any problems, everyone left him to do whatever he wanted to do. “It’s 11 in the morning. Wake up!” I tapped Katie who was still fast asleep when I was tired of staying awake alone. She groaned and turned to the other side of the
Aiden~•~“Good morning ma, how are you doing?” I asked my mum. It was my tradition to call her every morning. We had successfully found the witch Malley witch who reversed the spell but she claimed she wasn’t ready to return to Hawkins. “I’m fine, how are you and how’s everything going there?” She asked softly. I inhaled deeply, my breath turning into a long sigh. “Everything is fine for now.” “And Noah?” I knew she was going to mention Noah’s name. I had told her about how I had fucked up and she never failed to ask me if I had amended my relationship with Noah.“We’re getting there, she isn’t as cold towards me as she was before.” “That’s good. Stay safe my son.” “I will. Thanks, ma. I love you.” “I love you too.” With that, she hung up the call. It had been over two months since that incident happened. I had rejected Jessica one month later. I did it immediately after the supposed three months were complete without haste because I didn’t want to lose Noah. I felt bad when
Noah ~•~The past few months had been really difficult and lonely for me, so I was very relieved when I had that conversation with Aiden. I felt pain and anger when I found him kissing Jessica but it was actually kind of my fault. I was the one who pushed him away, knowing his true mate was living under the same roof with him. It got better when I found out he had rejected her but things were still awkward between us. I was glad I was able to find some clarity and I couldn’t stop smiling when I thought about the moment we just shared. “I’m ready to go!” Aiden’s husky voice interrupted me from my thoughts and I jerked back to reality. “Let’s get something to eat first, I’m really hungry.” “Dimitri left over some pancakes before leaving this morning,” I informed him. “They’re on the kitchen counter.” He took my hands and we both went to the kitchen. He forced me to have some of the pancakes even if I had already eaten cereal earlier. Soon enough, we were done eating and we made
Aiden~•~I was speaking to some of my relatives in the room when suddenly, a guard burst into the room, panting frantically. "Alpha! Alpha!" he gasped between heaving breaths. "Dimitri's in trouble, he's hurt and wounded."My eyes turned to the guard and I was confused for a second. “What do you mean? Where is he?” Even if Dimitri and I didn’t have the best relationship, he was still my brother and I couldn’t live if something happened to him. “He’s at the front door.” He said as we walked out of the room. The others were about to follow us but I stopped them and asked them to stay inside the guest room. “Why didn’t you bring him inside?” I asked angrily but the guard still had a confused and worried expression on his face. I ran outside quickly and found Dimitri lying helplessly on the ground. He had bruises all over his body. “Who did this to you?” I growled, anger evident in my voice. “Why aren’t you healing?” I asked again as I looked closer at his body. He was too weak to r
Noah~•~My jaw dropped as I heard those words come out of Asher’s mouth. What did he mean by the hunters were back in town? That also meant there was a probability that Dimitri was attacked by the hunters. I trembled in my spot and my eyes glistened with tears. Memories of my father’s death came clouding my memory. It was triggering for me whenever someone talked about hunters. When Aiden realized I was about to cry, he walked to Asher and led him out of the room without saying anything. I didn’t even notice Katie was holding my hand. Everyone knew it was such a sensitive word for me. I could never get over his death even after so many years no matter how hard I tried. I promised to avenge his death. I was going to rip out the throat of whoever did that to my father and even if I couldn’t find the exact person, I would kill all the hunters I came across. “Noah, are you okay?” Dimitri, who was still lying on his bed, asked me. His voice was weak but laced with concern. I couldn
Aiden~•~My eyes darted to Noah immediately after Asher mentioned the hunters. Her expression changed to a worried one and I could see the tears welling in her eyes. Everyone was shocked by the news but I didn’t want to continue talking about it in front of her. I walked over the Asher and signaled we should take the conversation somewhere else. I wanted to be with Noah and comfort her but I had no choice but to leave her alone with Dimitri and Katie. While Asher and I walked quietly downstairs, I couldn’t stop thinking about the danger we were all in. What were the hunters doing in our town? We didn’t cause any trouble to humans and we stayed out of their business. “I have even sadder news,” Asher said with his gaze on the floor. “Maxim is dead.” He announced. My pupils dilated in shock and I gasped. “What? How? When?” I asked in shock.“He was with Dimitri when they both got attacked. Dimitri was lucky enough to escape but they ended up killing Maxim.” He continued in a grave
Noah~•~My eyes fluttered open and I found myself in Aiden’s room. How did I even get here? I turned around to see Katie sleeping beside me. I tapped her gently several times and she jolted up from the bed. “Noah, oh my goodness! I’m glad you’re awake now.” Katie said, sitting up straight and placing her hands all over my body, as though she was trying to feel my temperature.“What happened? Why am I in Aiden’s room?” I asked, a confused expression registered on my face. I couldn’t remember walking to his room. “What time is it?” Katie’s eyes widened in shock. “Wait. You don’t remember walking downstairs?” She asked and I shrugged. “You fell down the stairs.” “What?” I tilted my head in confusion. Everything was a blur, I couldn’t even remember leaving my room. The last thing I remember was Katie telling me to rest my head for a while. “Maybe it’s just the effect of your fall. Go back to bed, you need to rest.” Katie said. “Where’s Aiden?” I asked, glancing around the room. “Wha
