All Chapters of Alpha Noah: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

It took all of Noah's willpower not to pounce on Emma. All his senses were stimulated. It took everything in him to prevent Zeus from completely taking over.As if on cue."We should not have left her," Zeus growled inside his head."She was scared shitless. She just needs a moment," Noah replied."She needs us.""It's not that straightforward, Zeus.""It is. Love is straightforward. Your destiny is her and hers is yours. It's that straightforward."Noah groaned. "You don't have to be that deep. She's human. She's new to town. She's new to everything. I’ve come to turn her entire life upside down.""What if she runs away?" Zeus asked."Woahhhh, calm down. She's not going anywhere. This side of you is so different. Different and weird in a way.""SHE'S OUR MATE. SHE'S THE FUTURE LUNA! SHE NEEDS OUR PROTECTION. SHE NEEDS US.""I know she needs us, but not right now.""You don't understand, but you will very soon. Our mate needs to learn a lot of things. Fast. The entire tribe depends on

“WHAT?!” Tammy’s shriek echoed through the nearly empty hallway, her face cycling through different expressions, puzzlement, then plain-out confusion. Rakesh stood frozen beside her, his eyes locked on Emma as if she’d just announced she was secretly an alien. His fingers tightened around the strap of his backpack, the leather creaking under the pressure.Emma exhaled sharply, her own fingers twisting the hem of her shirt into a wrinkled mess. “And I think it’s a big joke, a very stupid prank because, honestly, who does that? I literally just came into this town with my family. And the worst part? He believes it. Like, fully. I plan on letting him down gently because, hello, ‘Alpha King’ or whatever, but if he doesn’t back off, I’m filing a restraining order. That’s it. That’s what I’m going to do.”Rakesh blinked slowly, as if processing her words slowly. His mouth opened, then closed, then opened again. “Emma” He rubbed his temple. “I don’t think Noah can joke about something like

In the car, Noah drummed his fingers on the steering wheel as he waited, glancing every few seconds at the front door. Zeus was restless, prowling in his mind like a caged animal.“She’s taking too long,” Zeus growled.“Relax. She’s not going to vanish.”“I want to see her. I need to see her.”Noah adjusted his collar and blew out a breath. He had showered twice, changed shirts three times, and ended up with a black shirt that fit snug across his chest and gray jeans.Jake had teased him mercilessly before he left. Everything from the cologne to the shirt to the fact that he looked nervous. And he was. Not because he was unsure about Emma. Zeus had made it abundantly clear that Emma was his but because he wanted tonight to go right.Sarah had been relentless with her calls and texts all day. She was a whirlwind of delusion, sending him topless selfies and suggestive videos.He was going to tell her off. Again. When will she get it?Right now, he just needed Emma.Then the door opened.

Emma ran. Her heart pounded in her ears. Her bare feet slapped against the cool dirt, sprinting through the trees. The night air burned her lungs, but she didn’t stop.What was she thinking? What was HE thinking?Her lips still tingled from the kiss. No, not a kiss. The kiss. The kind of kiss that revamped brain cells. The kind where his teeth scraped her bottom lip like he was marking his territory, and his hands gripped her hips like he wanted to devour her whole. She was angry. Angry at herself for agreeing to meet Noah. Angry at her body for betraying her. Angry that her brain was replaying those kisses on loop. Ugh. Stupid hormones. Stupid Noah. Stupid perfect jawline. She stormed further into the woods, her breath coming out in white clouds that vanished into the night. The stone walls loomed ahead, tall, jagged, and judging her life choices. The crunch of gravel under her boots barely registered over the thump-thump-thump of her traitorous heart. Because here w

Jacob stepped further into the dimly lit living room, his boots barely making a sound on the hardwood. The air was thick and so so heavy it felt like it could crush the walls. His presence had always commanded attention, but tonight it came with something else.“There are some moments in life,” Jacob said quietly, “when it’s easy to look back and say, ‘I would’ve done things differently and easy to believe it could never be you.”He paused, locking eyes with his son. “But you’re wrong, Noah. It can be you. It will be, one day.”Noah sat forward, jaw clenched. “If you didn’t have the strength to kill him, you should’ve at least banished him. You let your brother spiral into darkness, and now I have to deal with the wreckage. I inherited the consequences of your… mercy.”Jacob let out a sharp exhale and sank into the armchair opposite him. The leather creaked under his weight. For the first time in years, he looked… old.Tired.Jake shifted uncomfortably on the couch beside Noah. “Maybe
