Turned のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

“Star what do you think? This concerns you as well.” She’s quiet for a bit, “I’m not sure I want to give all information we have of us to them but we might also learn a lot from the transaction. I believe they have information we should know that they haven’t shared,” she says. I agree with her, plus I don’t think we’re going to get a better deal than this. I look to him, “Okay Noah, you’ve got yourself a deal,” I say and everyone stills immediately. Looking from me to Noah and Noah to me. He just smiles, the kind of smile a man at the poker table shares with his opponent after calling all in. I feel like I just made a deal with the devil and uncertainty crawls through my chest. “I’ll have the papers drawn up then,” he agrees. He looks to the man and woman behind him, that were called as backup, and they leave shortly after. Clearly a conversation I was not allowed to be a part of. I reach out for his emotions to see if I can get any information from it but I can’t feel an

We walked pretty far in silence, passing a couple buildings along the way, but for the most part everything was pretty much spaced out two football fields apart with nothing between. The cabin must be located close to the border of this pack’s territory, not like I’d know anything about it but I felt like it was a pretty decent assumption. “Hey Noah?” He looks at me from the side of his eye and waits for me to continue, “I really want steak, I’ve been sleeping for 3 days, I’m starving and I want steak, so is there any way that could happen?” I pasted on a sweet smile, and blinked my eyelashes up at him. He looks away smiling, “Steak huh?” He lifts his eye brow and looks back at me. “I think I can make that happen,” he says and winks at me. Star is already drooling. I guess she’s excited for that as much as I am. “Wait, can you taste what I eat?” I ask her. “In a sense,” she says, “Just as I can feel your pain.” I think too hard on that and realize Noah’s been talking to me. My eyes g

I can’t be distracted by this, I have a million questions that need to be answered. Plus, I’m not ready for anything related to feelings or intimacy. His eyes are burning into my skin, I can feel them move along my body, he clears his throat. “Are you ready to go?” He asks. “Yes, I- uh, where do I put all my things?” I say fumbling my words. “Leave it, I’ll have them sent to your cabin. There’s a car waiting outside to drive us to the restaurant.” He says and walks towards the door. We walk in silence to the car, my heels clicking against the floor the only sound. He opens the door and extends his hand to help me in. “Oh we’re using niceties now are we?” I smile up at him as I take his hand and slide in. “Think you can last the whole night?” He questions raising his eye brow with a knowing smirk at his innuendo, then shuts the door before I can reply. Good thing because I’m too shocked to comment on that one. “Is he flirting or is it just me Star?” She laughs, “I thi

Our food arrives and confuses me because I don’t remember ordering, I look to Noah and he just taps his temple indicating he clearly mind linked our orders. The smell is ridiculously intoxicating, I swear I can feel Star drooling through the bond. Now my eyes have hearts in them. I eat everything probably way too fast to be good for my body. Once finished I lean back with my hand on my stomach, “Oh my god, that was amazing,” I rave. Noah laughs, “I thought you’d like it here. It’s the best restaurant in our town.” Carlos comes back to clear our plates and drops off a desert menu as well. Noah refills our glasses and looks to me, “Any more questions?” He asks. “Yes, of course. But now I’m not sure anyone will have the answers I need since my “kind” is so rare,” I say with air quotes. “I guess, I just want to know more about being a wolf, clearly some things are different but I can’t be that different can I? I mean I still shift and… obviously still have that heat thing. My senses are e

“To be quite honest, I can’t tell you the last time I ever went on a date,” Noah says. “I just thought, after you asked for steak, that it would be a good idea to get you out of the cabin for a night and give you an opportunity to ask me any questions you might have.” The slight rejection stings but I shove those feelings away. They are not going to do me any good so it’s better to pretend they don’t exist at all and definitely don’t act on them. My mind is racing at a mile a minute now with questions I need to ask, answers I need to know. “Is that why you’re being nice to me now, because I’m a super special turned wolf?” I ask. “You have absolutely no reason to trust me. No reason to believe anything that comes out of my mouth.” I ramble on, my attitude peaking through slightly, “So tell me Alpha Noah, why did you agree to have me “audition” for your pack?” I look at every inch of his face, my eyes roaming over every feature. I watch his jaw clench but his stoic expression remains. H
