NOAH: Her Forbidden Beast

*CHAPTER 22*

"Luna, would you like a check up?"

She nodded her head, "Yes, I think that would be a good idea."

"Okay would you like to do it here or in your private lounge."

The Luna squinted her eyes and pouted her lips...I think that was her thinking face, "I would like to be in my private lounge."

I nodded, "Very well. Do you need help getting up the stairs?"

She was about to reply before her mate, the Alpha spoke, "I'll help her," The Luna smiled at him sweetly. She raised her arms up and said, "Carry me!"

He chuckles and picks her up bridal style. The both look so happy when they're together...to content. I was about to leave the room, but felt a presence behind me. I knew exactly who it was. I turned around to see Noah towering over me. 

"Ummm...it might be best if you don't come into the check up."

"Obviously. It's a very female thing, nothing I am really interested in. I'll be waiting outside the door," He said without looking at me. 

For some reason, I was irritated by that. Why won't he look at me? I huff, "Fine."

He finally looked at me with furrowed brows, "Fine."

I cross my arms, "Good."

He crossed his own arms, "Good."

"Well...I'm glad then!" I started to raise my voice slightly

Noah bends down slightly, leveling our faces,"Well guess what? I am really glad that you're glad."

"Well isn't that nice of you to say!" I snapped.

We both didn't realize that as we were going back and forth, we had come closer together. Very close in fact. He was definitely looking at me now. Both of us breathing heavily. How can we both be so annoyed with each other and yet come to this situation? Doesn't make sense at all.  Noah's eyes dropped from my eyes and to my lips. He just stared at them. His jaw clenched. I jerked slightly in a fright when I felt warmth on my waist. I looked down and realized it was his hand. When I looked back at Noah, his blue eyes were glowing bright. My eyes widen, "You eyes," I whispered. That seemed to snap him out of it. He steps back and shakes his head. 

He growled, "Damn it," quietly to himself, "You should go to the Luna."

I swallow hard and nod, "Right...you'll still be outside the door?"

He nodded his head. I then made my way towards the Luna.

"Did you like what I did down there?" Lizzy asked me with a knowing smile. 

But my brows pulled together in confusion as I right down check up infromation on her pregnancy, "I'm  not following."

Zapora leans in and giggles, "How Noah is your guard now?"

"Yeah, but that's just because Solomon wasn't free."

Both of them rolled their eyes and groaned, "You do not notice subtle things do you?" Zapora said. 

"Soul wasn't free because I chose him so than Noah would be your guard."

My eyes widen, "You did that? Why?"

Izzy smiled, "To help quicken the process of you both accepting each other...And also because Noah asked."

OKay that really got me interested. I moved closer to Lizzy and leaned in, "Come again?"

Izzy just had a big smile and giggled like a little girl, "He came to me early in the morning. He said that he felt that he needed to spend more time with his son, but you take care of his son during the day because Noah has too much beta work and the rogue situation. But if he guarded you instead of Soul, His beta duty would be shared with Eddie and get enough time to see his son as well as protecting both of you guys from any harm."

I roll my eyes, "So it wasn't even about me then. It was about his son."

They both groaned and rolled their eyes, "You don't get it MIA! This may not seem huge, but trust me... for Noah. It's massive. He doesn't only want to spend time with his son...he wants to be near you."

He wants to be around me? My stomach fluttered a little bit and I think my heart jumped out of my chest. I looked down at my lap and gave myself a small smile. 

"Look Mia...Noah has had some bad things happen to him in the past. He has had worse things happen to him than Xander. He is a very hard and broken man. It got even worse when his wife died. He cut himself off from everyone. Even his own son. Women would throw themselves at him...but he wouldn't even look at them, not even a glance. He wasn't interested in any of it...until you came along."

My eyes widen in surprise, "Me? Really?"

Both of them nodded their heads. 

"But he was so mean to me. He was so cold towards me. I assumed he just didn't like me."

"No. It because you are the first person to even make him feel things he hasn't in so long. And he lashes out at you because he's confused about he's feeling. It's a foreign emotion that he hasn't experienced since he was a little boy probably."

"What kind of emotions?" i asked. 

"Love."

"...Love? Would you really go so far that he would actually love me?"

Both of them nodded their heads. 

I shook my head. "I'm not sure guys. I can acknowledge the attraction between us...but love?"

"What you guys have isn't just an attraction, it's more. And I think you know it."

I took a deep breath, "I'm not sure what to do then,"

Zapora advised, "Just, be yourself, don't withhold what is happening. Let is flow and see where it takes you."

I stand up and nod my head, "Okay...I guess I should see where this should go properly." I gave them both a hug and thanked them for the talk. It made things, much more clear. I went out the door and immediately smashed into a very large, muscley, toned, gorgeous wall. I look up and am met with electric blue eyes. 

I looked down and blushed, "Sorry, I didn't think you'd be so close to the door." He just shrugs it off. 

"So I was going to make some soup for the Luna. Ummm...so will you be following me to the-"

"Whatever you plan on doing, I am to be there at all times." He informed me. 

I nod my head silently, "Cool...so...to the kitchen then!"
