NOAH: Her Forbidden Beast

*CHAPTER 42*

NOAH

I can't handle this anymore. For the past two days, I have been with no one but Sophie and I hate it!

Don't get me wrong. She is a lovely girl. But she isn't Mia.

I burst through the door of Xander's office. He looked up at me and rolled his eyes, "Come in why don't you." Xander said sarcastically.

"Get someone else to marry her."

Xander was instantly serious. He stood up from his chair, "What do you mean?"

I took a step forward, "I wasn't speaking bullshit, Xander. You heard what I said. I don't want to marry Sophie. The wedding is off. I can't handle being with her let alone the rest of my life."

Xander collapsed back into his chair. He leaned his head back and groaned, rubbing the part between his eyes.
"Please don't do this Noah. Were you all for it before? What happened in the last couple months huh?"

I shrugged and looked away.

"Is it about Mia?"

I looked at Xander, "This has nothing to do with Mia. This is only me. I just realized that I can't spend the rest of my life with her. She's just not for me."

Xander scowled at me, "Of course she isn't for you. But that never mattered. What mattered is that by marrying her, you are ensuring the safety of this pack. Without this marriage, what is to happen to all of us. We just found out the other day that the rogues are being formed into an army and could strike at any minute. And when I say army...I mean a huge army. More than any warriors I have alone! I need Alpha Kendrick's warriors as a backup just in case I can't defeat the rogue army. Their main goal is to kill Izzy! Why are you forgetting about all if this because of some healer?" Xander shouted

I took a step forward and shouted back "She is my mate, Xander! Of course, I would choose her! She is my everything! She is Kieth's mother! Of course, I don't want to go through this marriage because I want to be with Mia!"

It was silent for a moment. Both of us breathing heavily through our noses.

Xander sat back in his chair and took a deep breath, "You have to go through this Marriage Noah. I have researched every other possibility for you to be with Mia, I have, but there is none. I'm sorry."

I felt the rage boiling inside of me. I felt the anger of not being with Mia.
I turned around. I roared and punched the wall, making a giant hole.
"I fucking hate this shit! Why couldn't my life be easier just for once! Why can't I get what I want for one in my fucked up life."

"The wedding is tomorrow morning," Xander informed.

I roared and stormed out if the room.

MIA

I was getting ready to go to the pack dinner tonight. It was supposed to be special since Kendrick's pack was here to dine with us too. I felt nervous and scared. I was about the face the person who has haunted my dreams and my thoughts for years. I haven't seen him since that day. And I haven't seen Sophie since then too. I felt my lungs being constricted from the air, making it hard to breathe. An I felt my stomach become a little sore from the nervousness.

I make my way down the stairs. Every step I take I feel like I am going to collapse down these steps. But I hang onto the rail tightly.

Once I am at the bottom I look around. Everyone will be in the giant dining room. I take a deep breath and make my way over to the room. As soon as I entered the room everyone hushed. I internally groaned. Why did they all have to go quietly?
