Noah

“I’ll give you your space as soon as I know you are in your flat and safe,” I answer her, forcing a smile that feels utterly foreign to the genuine surge of anxiety and possessiveness churning in my gut.

My tone is calm, almost casual, a stark contrast to the internal battle raging inside me. I’ve had years of practice and I know how to put up a good facade.

My wolf, Conri, is already beyond pissed at me; he is a storm of frustrated centuries. He has been waiting for this moment, for his

    NoahI sit back and watch as the Omegas bring food and drink into the dining hall. The Alphas that were outside start to file into the dining hall.Word spreads fast and everyone knows what to do. My father is not stupid and he sees the farce for what it is, but he knows not playing along will make him look even worse.I count three, perhaps four, Alphas who are loyal to him. It’s in the way they lean over to whisper in his ear, or how they look at each other when they form a mind link.Their body language is subtle, nearly imperceptible, but I’m hyper alert, picking up on even the minutest twitches or eye movements. Being quiet and still for long periods, spending time alone, just watching people, taught me how to read them.And my father isn’t nearly as sneaky as he likes to believe he is. The man is a wide, open book printed in big, bold letters.I don’t sit at the head table as is my right. I have a round table for a reason - like Arthur of old, when we’re seated at that table, ev

    LyricTwo Omegas immediately spring to action and push the doors open. Weiland steps past them, followed by Dexter, and then Weiland’s voice booms through the dining hall. “I present his majesty, King Noah Roarke, and his Queen Lyric Roarke.”It’s so absurd that I almost start laughing, but I keep myself contained. There isn’t even a twitch around Noah’s lips, which tells me that this is something serious, something sacred, and important.Haldor, Pria, and half a dozen other Alphas take up position behind us, showing their loyalty to the ex-king inside and everyone who cares to look on and know.Noah takes my hand and threads it through his extended elbow, then nods and slowly, as if we’re entering a church for a coronation, we walk into the hall. The moment we step over the threshold, Weiland and Dexter flank us - the Beta slightly behind Noah and the Gamma slightly behind me.Then the processions of Alphas, their Betas, Gammas, Deltas, and warriors.Noah is steadfast. He doesn’t wai

    LyricI step out of the car and look around at the place I’m starting to think of as home, at least temporarily. I inhale deeply and immediately wish I didn’t. The place reeks of body odour, shit and piss. It carries in on the breeze from the lake. “How are the people not dying?”“Flora broke the spell,” Weiland says, then launches into a long ass explanation of what happened the few days while we weren’t here. “And now Alfred is here.”“He’s here?” I ask, somewhat distracted.My mind went back to the stars. I never learned much about science while I lived at the Towers, but I’ve gone out of my way to learn as much about the world I live in as I could since I left.Noah’s right, of course. The stars are suns, and it takes many years for their light to reach the earth, and blah blah blah, but they’re still not supposed to simply blink out of existence like that.Like they never even existed at all, and no one’s asking about it. Even Noah seems to have forgotten that there used to be m

    NoahThe town is bustling with people. They’re everywhere. The population must have doubled, tripled, in its original size.The Alphas and their assorted Betas have their hands full. Weiland and Dexter try to navigate the incoming masses as best as they can, but they’re overwhelmed and even from a distance I can tell how tired they are.“What is this fuckery?” Pria asks.I sigh and exchange a knowing glance with Haldor. “We saw this in the past. When the cities and towns became too dangerous. The Lycans set up safe zones for all species - human and supernatural alike.”Haldor actually laughs when he says. “I bet the humans of this century tried to find rational explanations for werewolves. They always think their science can explain everything.”“Hm,” I grunt. “Just be glad we don’t have to explain vampires to them.”“Or nymphs,” Pria throws in.“Did vampires kill people?” Lyric asks as we pull up to the motel. “That time I… saw Amias, he didn’t look frightening. He seemed kind of nic

  • The Heart of a Luna   Chapter 89

    NoahThe road back ‘home’, back to Darwin, feels much longer than it did going to The Towers. We decided to stick to the backroads, driving through forests and worn out farm paths, instead of taking the main routes.Bryce is on those roads, not alone but surrounded by convenient sacrifices for his meat grinder - and as much as I hate wolves, I don’t think they deserve to die simply for being born a wolf.Although, at night, and when I’m brutally honest with myself, I have to admit that I won’t shed a tear for them if they do go extinct. After two days on the road, I instruct Emile to pull off into a clearing fifty kilometers outside Darwin, population 1134 once upon a time.Everyone gets out of the car and stretches. We switched out drives and stopped long enough to take care of bathroom business, but other than that I kept pushing. We were going the long way around, mostly because Lyric kept pushing me in that direction.Until two hours ago, she still sensed Bryce, and his scent lin

  • The Heart of a Luna   Chapter 88

    NoahThe sun is rising in a sick, yellowish-green sky that reminds me a lot of vomit, by the time Lyric returns. The moment she stepped into clearing, our connection was severed. I couldn’t feel her anymore. It was as if someone stabbed me in the heart.She smiles at me as she steps through two of the three towers. She has deep, black circles under her eyes, and she’s scary pale, but she’s alive.For a moment, while she was alive, the moon tried to fill out and The Towers burned a little bright, but then it went back to how it was. Weak, dying light, the crystal rotting from the inside.Lyric stumbles, and she stops to catch her breath. She reaches out to touch one of the towers, then hesitates, shakes her head, and drops her hand, opting to bend in half and clutch her knees instead.“Go to her,” Pria urges me.I rush to my mate’s side. It looks like she lost weight too. The clothes she’s wearing are too loose and big for her, and her lips are dry like she hasn’t taken a single drop
