NOAH: Her Forbidden Beast

*CHAPTER 24*

Once I served the soup to the Luna, I realized my wolf has not been let out in a while. I walked to the front porch, with Noah in tow. I turned to him and said, "I think, I'm going to let my wolf go for a run. She hasn't really since we've gotten here. Is that okay?"

Noah's furrowed brows nodded. I smile and continued to walk down and close to the woods.

"We will not be passing the boarder though." He said firmly.

"That's okay."

It was freezing. The snow was getting thicker and thicker, by the minute. But I felt my wolf become a little more excited about being let out. I went to go behind a tree to take my clothes off. I glanced over my shoulder and saw Noah's back to me. How respectful of him.

Once I was completely bare, I took a deep breath and started to feel my bones reforming, my body reconstructing. Once I was fully wolf I stepped out into the open and see Noah still standing there with his back to me.

I made a small sound that made him turn around. He looked at me up and down. I felt kind of embarrassed even though I was in my wolf form. I mean...my wolf Nina isn't that impressive is she?

Ummm...excuse me? It seems that I am doing way better off than you thank you very much.

I rolled my eyes. I could mind link Noah. I wasn't a part of the pack. So instead I motioned towards him with my head, hoping he will take notice of what I was trying to say. He tilted his head and looked down at himself. He then looked back at me when he realised what I meant

"I'm not shifting."

I tilt my head in question.

He looked away and says, "I don't like shifting when it's close to the full moon."

I didn't question him further. But I still internally wondered why? I understand that it can make a wolf a little more...wolf, but it's nothing serious. Why would he have a problem with it.

I ended up running around the forest for a while. It felt good to be in my wolf again. It made me feel a little more clear headed and whole again.

Noah would follow behind me running. Even though he is in human form, he is still inhumanly fast. Actually one of the fastest I've seen.

After a while my legs started to get a little sore, so before heading back, I found a beautiful area to rest.

There were trees everywhere with flowers on them. Their were petals of pale colours everywhere. There were flowers blooming from the ground. Flowers draping off of vines from above. These must be winter flowers. It looked beautiful. I had decided tht I wanted to shift back into human form to behold this beautiful area. It was totally breathtaking. I hid behind a tree, shifted back into human form and put in my clothes. I stepped out and saw Noah standing there. His shoulders, slouched. His head hung low. My brows furrowed in concern. What's wrong with Noah?

I stepped beside him and saw that he was looking at something with a pained expression. I look down and frown when I only saw little pale purple flowers.

"This is where my wife is buried. She didn't want a tombstone. She was obsessed with flowers you see...so instead of getting a tombstone, I planted flowers over her."

My eyes widen. I understood now. He must not come here a lot. I took a step closer to him and he didn't seem to mind at all.

"It's beautiful. I think she would have liked it a lot."

Noah stayed silent for a while. He just stood there, looking at the purple flowers. I looked down at our hands. His are just hanging there. I know it was bold of me, but I felt like it was something that he needed. I took his hand in mine and held tight. I expected him to pull away, but instead, he tightened his hold on my hand. I could feel the energy between us. The sparks and electricity that came.
