NOELLE'S POV,The starlight festival starts when the sun goes down, so I still have the whole day to train. However, all the normal trainings are cancelled for 2 days. So, I decide to look for Faith and see if she has some time to start my healing magic training. I find Faith in the kitchen instructing the cooks on all the food they should make for the festival.''Hej Faith, do you have a moment?''Faith takes her eyes off her list, ''Yeah of course. What's up?''I look around the kitchen which seems to be in control. ''I was wondering if you maybe have time for a bit of healing magic teaching. Maybe I can help you with something in return?''Faith takes a moment to think, ''Mmm I suppose I would have an hour to spare if you go get all the drinks from the shop.''I nod eagerly, ''Yes of course.''Faith gives me a list, ''Here is the list. I will meet you at the pool in 30 minutes.''She quickly continues talking to the cooks. I hurry to
GABRIEL'S POV,Gabriel feels his hands get all sweaty and his breathing quickens when Noelle walks towards him. He can't take his eyes off her. She couldn't have picked a better dress for the starlight festival because she looks like the brightest star of them all. The dress follows her body so that her whole silhouette is visible. You can see her long lean legs through the fabric and the glitters show off her hourglass shape. On her breasts, there are not that many glitters which leaves little to the imagination.He holds out his hand and she puts her hand in his when he leads her to the dance floor. The band starts to play a romantic ballad and he pulls Noelle close to him. He whispers in her ear, ''I always think you can't get any more beautiful, but you keep surprising me.'' He can feel her smile when she puts her cheek against his while they dance.The rest of the night they have fun with Faith, Zeus, Nolan, and Holly. They all dance together and enjoy the food and
NOELLE'S POV,It is still dark when Gabriel and I arrive at Hallow Forest. It seems no one has arrived yet. All of a sudden it goes silent everywhere around us.''Gabriel? I have a bad feeling about this,'' I say anxiously.The ground begins to shake, and hundreds of dark humans seem to emerge from the forest. I see fear in Gabriel's eyes, and I get ready to fight. I look at Gabriel and he is whispering, ''I am sorry.''Before I know it, he has hit me with a lightning bolt which makes me fly into the bushes. I cannot move or speak, and I just lay there hidden watching Gabriel fight while I cannot do anything.''That bastard did this on purpose to save me,'' I think to myself.I watch Gabriel hit dark human after dark human with his lightning. But there are too many so at one point a dark human manages to sneak up on him and put some kind of collar around his neck. The moment the collar goes around his neck all Gabriel's powers seem to disappear. G
NOELLE'S POV,I see something gold flying towards us, and I realize it is Thorn. When he comes closer, I can see Faith, Zeus, and Nolan are on his back. I hold Gabriel close to me while Thorn lands. They all come running towards us and Faith falls down on the ground to look at Gabriel. She lets her hands go over his body and I have never seen her look this serious."We have to get him home and dry," she shouts.Zeus and Nolan hurry towards us and pick him up. I don't want to let go of him, so I keep holding his hand while they carefully put him on Thorn. Zeus looks at all the dead bodies cautiously. "We should go quickly before more will come," he says.I can hear Thorn trying to talk to me through our minds, but I feel too numb and sad to process it. I just stare at Gabriel and hold him. Faith looks at us worried and pets Thorn on his neck while talking to him. Luckily, he seems to understand and with a big shriek he lifts off. I look down at the open spac
NOELLE'S POV,"Noelle? Noelle? Wake up!" I hear a voice say in my head.I slowly open my eyes and look right into Gabriel's beautiful icy blue eyes. My heart jumps with joy and Gabriel puts his hand on my face. I close my eyes in his embrace."I thought I would never see your beautiful face again," I hear Gabriel's voice in my head.I quickly open my eyes and ask, "Did you just talk to me inside my head?"Gabriel laughs, "Yes love, it is what they call a mate bond. I dreamed about all our moments together and when I woke up, I knew the mate bond was set in place." Tears of joy roll down my cheek, "I had the same dream. I am so happy you are okay Gabriel. You have no idea how I felt watching you get attacked and then finding you unconscious and stabbed so many times."Gabriel strokes my face, "I thought I was protecting you, but I see now that you don't need protection. I saw in my dreams what you did to all the dark humans. You were incredible."
GABRIEL'S POV,Gabriel wakes up in the middle of the night. Noelle is lying next to him peacefully breathing. He watches her beautiful face in the reflection of the light from the fireplace. He caresses her face and kisses her on her shoulder before cuddling up to her again. She feels so tiny and soft in his arms like she fits there perfectly. With a happy sigh, he falls back to sleep.He wakes up again in the morning from feeling the sunshine on his face. He immediately searches for Noelle her warm body with his hands. When he cannot find her, he opens his eyes and sees that the space next to him is empty. He sits up confused but then he hears the shower running. He stands up and walks to the bathroom. He opens the door and looks at Noelle standing with her back towards him under the shower. She is singing and washing her hair, so she doesn't hear him come in. He watches the trail of soap go down her back, waist and then go over her round and perky ass. He bites his
NOELLE'S POV,I feel like I can take on the world the next day and even combat training with Nolan goes smooth. Nothing seems to make me tired, and I have never fought this good before. I have some time left before I have to go train with Faith, so I decide to go visit Thorn. I have brought him some nice meat to make him happy. He is dancing on his paws when he sees me coming with the meat."Ooooooo yummy thank you, mistress," he says in my mind.I smile and stroke his big head. "It's the least I could do after you saved me and Gabriel," I say back to him.Thorn digs into the food while he responds, "I thought I was going crazy I could feel everything you were feeling. The anger and then the ultimate sadness. I just knew I had to find you, mistress."I put my head against his neck. "I am glad you did. Don't know where I would be without you," I sigh.We sit there cuddling for a while when another voice pops into my head. "I missed your beautiful butt at
NOELLE'S POV,I run out of the cave and bump into Zeus."Ho, Ho, Ho what's with the rush?" he asks.I try to answer but my breathing is still not under control. "I... I... I have to warn them, I have to tell Gabriel," I mutter, and I try to run past him.Zeus puts his arms around me, "Easy Noelle, you have to tell Gabriel what?"I try to calm myself a bit so I can answer him, "I saw a vision of the Sea Realm being attacked by Hades. Everyone was dead."Zeus his face immediately becomes serious, "Visions only appear to people with mind magic. Considering your talents, it wouldn't surprise me if you can also do mind magic. We have to go tell the other right now."He takes my hand and together we run back to Gabriel's mountain. Everyone is still sitting at the kitchen table talking when we barge in. Faith asks confused, "Already done with training?" but then she sees the wild look in our eyes, and she continues, "What's wrong guys?"Zeus lo
