Noa

nineteen

"While she's been away
Living day-to-day has been tough
Without her at my side
Simply being alive has been rough"

Jaxon's POV:

I bring down the silver machete hard, cutting off the sick man's hand. He screams in pain. Music to my ears.

"You'll never be able to touch anybody again you sick fuck."

This man was a pedophile. He liked touching children, even his own. He deserves everything and anything I decide to do to him today.

I pick up the syringe full of hot, melted silver. I stick the needle into his neck, squeezing out about three quarters of it. Not enough to kill him, so he'll suffer for a bit. He struggles against his restraints, screaming as the silver enters his bloodstream.

I walk over to the far wall, leaning against it. I'm enjoying this quite a bit. I can't help but think of what Noa would say if she saw me like this. I don't feel that she would like it. I'll never show this side of me to her. What she doesn't know can't hurt her.

One of the guards comes into the torture room and walks over to me, he bows his head as a sign of respect.

"Oliver is requesting to speak with you in the office, my lord." He says.

Oliver is one of my most trusted employees. He's a werewolf, and while some of the vampires don't trust him, most of them, including me, do. He usually works as a guard, but he also helps me meet the needs of the vampires I'm ruling. If someone has a complaint, they bring it to him, and he brings it to me. He can be a little weird at times, but he's a good person overall.

"Let him know I'll be right there."

The guard nods and bows his head to me again before leaving the room. I walk back over to the pervert who was still writhing in pain. I grip his hair, pulling his head up so he's looking at me.

"Looks like you'll have to wait until I get back to die. Enjoy." I say, before turning around and walking out the door, ignoring his screams behind me.

I walk up the stairs to my office, walking in, seeing Oliver already waiting for me sitting in one of the chairs in front of my desk. I sit in my chair, looking at him.

"My lord, the vampires are growing restless. They know you have found your mate. They want to be introduced formally."

The other vampires have noticed that I've found my mate. When vampires find their mate they begin to act and smell different, whether they like it or not. I knew I wouldn't be able to keep Noa to myself for long. Since, I'm their ruler, they want to meet the woman who's destined to be beside me.

"They will meet her when she's ready. I will not force her into the greeting ceremony." I speak sternly.

"Yes, of course. We're all just curious, is all. Who is she, my lord?" He asks.

I let out a growl, "You will meet her when I say you will. Do not speak of my mate again. Is that understood?"

He nods, bowing his head before leaving the room.

I know he didn't mean it in a bad way, but I can't help but be protective of her. I worry about her quite a bit. At this point, we don't know who is trying to kill her. It could be her ex-asshole, but I can't think of any way he would know about the prophecy, he's human.

Anywhere she goes she could be in danger, and I wouldn't know. She's not even safe in her own apartment. Maybe she should start sleeping over at ours, or we could sleep at hers. She should just move in, that's what's going to happen eventually, anyway. I would ask her but I don't want to scare her off.

I sit and think. I'm in love with Noa, there's no doubt about it. I've been in love with her since I saw her in that alley. For her to meet my subordinates would fill me with pride. I will not, however, force her to meet them unless she is ready.

I sigh, missing her. She left our house yesterday morning and I haven't talked to her since. It's hard for me to focus on anything without thinking about her. My thoughts are completely consumed by her, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I think about dinner, and her sitting on the counter in that pink dress. She looked stunning. Oh, her skin is so soft and she looked so good, I couldn't stop myself from touching her. I would've taken her on that counter right there if she let me, but I held back. My fingers felt so good inside her, I can just imagine my cock in her. Her moans were like music to my ears. They were so sweet and-

Elijah opens the door forcefully, interrupting my train of thought. He slams it behind him and sits down in the chair in front of me. He stares at me and I stare back at him for a few seconds.

"Should I come back another time and let you finish your wet dream?" He asks cockily.

"Do you need something, or have you only come to bother me?"

"I wanted to talk to you about a potential new prisoner we have-"

Elijah's voice seems to get quieter and more muffled as I get lost in my thoughts again. The work never stops. I don't know what's been happening lately, but there's been more and more cases of evil werewolves lately. The cases have been piling up on my desk. One more reason why Noa isn't safe.

"And you're not listening to a word I'm saying are you?" I snap back to reality.

"No, sorry. I have a lot on my mind."

"Noa?" He asks, knowingly.

"She's in so much danger, and if she dies- If something happens to her I would never be able to forgive myself. She can't even mind link us if she's not safe. I just don't know how to protect her. I wish I could. I can't just lock her up away from the rest of the world, that wouldn't be fair. "

"I know how you feel. She mind linked us the other day, without her even knowing she did it. Maybe we could teach her how to. She's a goddess. Hopefully she has some type of untapped powers. We just have to work with her a little, see what she can do."

Yeah, hopefully.
