NOAH: Her Forbidden Beast

*CHAPTER 11*

MIA

He has a son! How could no one even tell me this! Here I thought he was just a widower, but NO! He has a son! A SON! 

"You...you have a son?" I stuttered

Noah rolls his eyes, "Yes I have a son."

"I never knew you even had one." I say as if I had the right to know.

"Wasn't really any of your business." He said.

"Of course it's not." I mentally slap myself again. You have no claim on Noah. Why am I acting this way?

"So are you okay with babysitting?" Lizzy asked.

I nodded my head slowly, "Sure, I will. Ummm...w-where is he?"

Noah walks to the door, "I'll lead you to him."

I follow him down the stairs and out the front door. I close my eyes quickly when the bright light of the day hits me. I squint for a couple of seconds before everything looks normal again. He leads me behind the mansion of a house and into the garden. Everything is so beautiful. There are so many types of flowers and roses here. Big trees that look as old and wise as time itself. They were giant. More so than normal trees. They were planted in very random areas of the garden, making it look slightly chaotic. 

There was one particular tree that caught my eye. It was bigger than the other. More dark green than the normal light forest green. It looked so ancient. As we walked near it, I could begin to see all of its network of branches. It looked like a little mini city in there. My eyes were drawn to the attention of movement. A beautiful brown haired little boy, sitting on the tree talking to himself. 

"Kieth! Come down here, I want you to meet somebody!" Noah shouted. Kieth looked down and saw us. He began to obey what his father commanded. 

"Why is he here alone? Isn't it dangerous?" I asked.

Noah shakes his head, "He's an adventurous little kid. He can handle things like this...besides, he doesn't exactly have that many friends. He only hangs out with Xavier, Xander's son."

My heart broke a little. It's horrible when you see kids doing things all alone because they felt as if they couldn't fit in or society wouldn't accept them. When Keith came down, he stood up straight, facing his father, "Father," he bowed his head.

Noah returned the gesture, "Kieth, this is Mia, she is going to take care of you from now on."

Kieth frowns, "Why? what's going on?"

"There has been some suspicion from some rogues we want to keep an eye on. Until we are confident that our pack is safe, I want you to be around Mia the whole time. Do you understand?"

I frown at Noah and say, "He's your son Noah, not a soldier." Noah turns to me and frowns, "He is me and my wife's son...not yours. You're just his nanny. You are in no position to even be talking to me, let alone talking to me like that. Have you forgotten that I am the beta of one of the most powerful packs in the world?"

I felt my feeling break a little from what he said, but my anger outweighed that. I will not let him belittle me with his words. I step forward and say, "Have you forgotten that I am the one who saved your life? Without me, you would be dead by now, that means that you owe me your whole life," I look at him up and down, "Maybe I should have just left you for dead?" I whispered to him.

Noah stares at me with a storm in his eyes, "You should have Mia. You take Kieth for the day, I'll fetch for him at around 7." He stomps past me and went inside, slamming the door behind him. I flinch from the sound. I close my eyes and take a deep breath.
