Noah's POV,
My gaze moved to the piece of paper she tore and I couldn't hold the silent growl. I was too angry and it was hard to hold myself. It was damn so difficult.
Was she stupid??
She picked the drawing which fell from my bag and tore it without asking me any questions.
"That girl Layla need to experience your torture maybe that would teach her a lesson, next time she isn't going to use her demonic powers on you!!!" She seethed with her expression exuding envy and hatred.
I turned my gaze straight to the board as it was breaking over already, soon the teacher would come.
"Can you please make the torture more intense and also tell her you to hate her with passion?", she whined holding my hand.
I forced out a smile and nodded, the smiles couldn't last for few seconds before it vanished. I was tired of forcing those smiles.
I was so angry at myself that I had to smile at her.
She is just so bad at her young age. I can't believe she is saying this for a girl like herself. I wonder why the deep hatred for Layla.
"You shouldn't be telling me how to handle a situation concerned to me right?", I raised my brow and she nodded.
"Yes, I trust my Alpha, he would deal with her very well!" ,she beamed and I buried my head into my palm taking deep sighs.
I swear, I'm not feeling so well now, her presence around me is making my stomach grumble.
For once in my life, I prayed for the teacher to come and teach, I badly want to teacher to come in so she would shut up!
"Noah, how do I look?" She asked about primping and I couldn't help yelping.
"Huh?" I arched my brow, staring at her from head to toe. She smiled and flashed a smile, arranging her hair.
"I look so beautiful right?" She repeated making me swallow nothing, I fluttered my eyes and breathed, it was so hard but I just have to say it.
"Hazel, you look so beautiful and that's what got my heart captured, I love every part of your body especially your lips", I beamed and she gasped blushing so hard.
"Awnn, that is so romantic, can you kiss it?", she pouted her lips.
"No" I snapped and she frowned.
"Why?" She asked, shaking my hand.
"I can't kiss you, just forget that!",I gruffed feeling overly irritated and I swear, I'm regretting this decision, never knew I would have to pass through all this before I'd get to meet Layla with it.
"Why?? Are you shy?", she mumbled with a coy smile and the teacher walked in making me sigh in relief.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity for me, the bell rang for closure and I couldn't help the great feeling of joy that eloped me, the fact that I was going to see Layla was just making me go crazy.
"Noah, you look so happy at the sound of that bell, you are so eager to meet my parents as my mate right?" ,she smirked making me frown instantly.
I swear this girl knows how to annoy me with stupid words, I just had to clear the frown and smile at her.
She held my hand as we head out to the garage, my heart was so heavy in rage and exasperation.
I looked around and saw students staring at us with their eyes dazzling in admiration. Some were taking pictures, taking shots with their phones and cameras.
I threw glares at them, but it was like they were blind as more of them.came out to stare at us and snap the scene. I wished it was Layla holding my palm. I badly wished she would be the one to take the shots with me.
I will glady pose and smile, but here I am torturing myself, but I guess it is worth it. I am craving to see her. I have been restless since she didn't come to the garden today. I have to see those amazing smiles again.
We arrived at the garage at the samee time and he brother walked out with a shock on his face, staring at both of us; it was hard for him to believe his eyes, not when i slapped Hazel for touching me and even when I headbutted him when he attacked me.
"Hazel, I must be dreaming", he arched his brows glancing at me then at her. Hazel wore smiles all through while i couldn't smile. Instead, I took off my grip from her hand and slid into the car. Today was just one of my worst days. I hated every single moment of all this.
"Hazel, I don't understand this!...", Oliver exclaimed while she laughed and primped like she was the most beautiful girl. I used that opportunity in the car to spray my perfume all over my body. I wanted to have her cologne around me.
"You are surprised my mate fell for me", she giggled and i sneered at her. I hissed and rested my head on the seat of the car. I shut my eyes and her images filled my head. It sent warmth all over me.
"Wow, Noah, you really fell in love?", I heard the voice of Oliver and pretended to be asleep.
"Don't wake him up with your silly questions", Hazel seethed and sat beside me.
They car drove off, and I felt joy inside of me.
"Layla, I'm coming!!" I mumbled inwardly , and Ryder howled in joy too…
After an hour of driving, the car finally got to the Royal pack. I opened my eyes only to fall on Hazel, who has been staring at me all this while.
I smiled for a second, "You look so cute and charming when you sleep; I can say I am lucky".
"Lucky for what?", I questioned.
"To have you", she replied immediately.
"Why are you so sure you are my mate?, We can't tell now till i have perceived your scent. You know… I just got attracted to you", i snorted, and she frowned.
"What do you mean?", she asked.
"I am still trying to fall in love. I've never got that in mind. I've been rude and cold hearted for so long. Stop repeating being mates. It turns me off. I get angry at it!!", I gritted.
"Don't you love me?", she asked meekly, as she would cry soon.
"If I don't, i would never come here nor apologize for slapping you. Just know that I have been alone for a long time and i am trying to adapt to love!", I half yelled and she nodded.
"Okay, I'm sorry", she pouted, making me giggle.
"Okay, smile…", I cooed, and she flashed her white teeth.
"Okay, let's go", i swallowed hard, stepping out without even waiting for the guards to open the door.
I can't wait any longer to see her. I will surely make plans to rescue from that bondage in there.
*******************
Layla's POV,
I was all alone. I was in the room, which was partially dark as the only source of light was the little window that was slightly open.
My stomach grumbled, and I was extremely weak ;the chains bound me, and every time I see it, my heart shreds, with deep pain striking through it.
I can't just believe I am chained right in my father's house when i should be the Luna princess. My mind flashed to Noah and i felt weaker. He might have waited for me in the garden,
He said he'd never see me again.
The thought of this made me move my hand vigorously, making the clanking of the chain resound through the whole room. I was so enraged, fruitlessly trying to loosen it , that i ended up getting myself injured.
As i sat on the bed staring at my legs, which were also cuffed with the chain, hot tears fell off my face.
I would keep glancing at the door for the guards who bring food for me. I have not eaten since morning and it is almost evening according to my rough calculation.
When I thought it was getting better. I felt like bursting into a loud cry as frustration and anger hit me hard. The hatred is just getting too much.
Just then, I heard a footsteps, and my stomach grumbled more loudly, and seriously as it begged for the footsteps to hasten up. It must be the guard coming with food. I sighed in relief, resting my gaze on the door as I sat silently praying for the man to run instead of walking.
I kept swallowing the lumps in my throat. After what seemed like some years for me, the door knob went down and the door made a creaky sound. I shut my eyes and took a deep sigh, getting myself ready to eat.
A little smile forced itself out. Slowly, i opened my eyes to the door which must have been dropped for me, only to see what made me cringe in great shocks and surprise.
Standing in front of me was someone I never expected to see. I scrubbed my eyes continuously and pinched myself to be sure it wasn't a dream or an illusion.
Noah was standing in front of with those pretty pair of eyes.
