Chapter 16: It Hurts.

 

Noah’s POV

I walk down the halls without making any noise quickly so I that I wouldn’t have to encounter him today. He’s been asking about Jennifer since the time I got caught and I don’t know what to say to him without making him angry. Last time when he asked about her and the progress in the plan, I couldn’t say anything. I stood there silent with my head down, my eyes on the ground. That was enough to make him slash my arms with a silver sword. My wounds are still fresh. I make my way to the double doors and just as I was about to step out of the house I hear someone call me name.

“Noah! Wait!” I turn around to see my best friend and my father’s Omega run towards me.

“What is it, Marshall? I’m really in no mood for any bullshit.” I say annoyed by the fact that eh might have ruined my escape.

“He wants to see you.” he says and quickly looks away. He hates my father and the anger towards him is evident in his eyes.

“What for?” I ask terrified as images of what happened last time flash in front of my eyes. “Please at least tell me he’s in a nice mood.”

“I’m afraid he’s not... and uh, you might want to wear a thicker jacket. You never know what that asshole is up to.” he says through gritted teeth. “There will be a time, Noah, when he’ll accept defeat and we all will be free from this hell and if I’ll have to fight for it... I will!” he says and walks away leaving me alone to face my father and his wrath.

“Alpha, sir, you called for me?”

“Ah, yes. Come in, Son.” He says smiling. I take a few hesitant steps into his office and stand by his desk, my head down, eyes on the ground. “Sit.” He says and I do as I am told to. “Tell me, Son... When are you going to get me, my crystal?” I take a deep breath in and open my mouth to speak. Before I could say something he continues, “You see, I don’t like waiting. I hope this girl is under your control and is doing what you’re asking her to. So, you better bring me the crystal before she is marked.” Yes, that’s right.. I didn’t tell him about her being marked. He’d kill me if he knew and I don’t want to be killed, at least not by my father.

“Yes, Sir.” Is all I say. I get up from my seat when my father’s fist connects to my jaws. I fall back down on the seat.

“Did I ask you to leave yet?” he growls loudly. I shake my head and bite my lips to hold back the tear that sprang into my eyes from the immense pain that he just caused me. “Speak!” he yells and growls.

“N-No, Sir.” I manage to say through the pain.

“You better not make the same mistake again. Go.” He says and kicks my chair. I fall on the ground along with my chair. I groan in pain and shift the chair aside to get off of the ground. My jaw has started to heal now and I feel the pain disappearing but my arms sting and it is almost unbearable. I walk towards the door and stop in my tracks when he says something that makes my blood boil.

“Make me proud, Son.” He says and I nod in response. I open the door and step out shutting it behind me.

“I heard everything.” Marshall says leaning against the wall beside the office door.

“Eavesdropping, eh?” I say and we both chuckle. 

“On a serious note, Noah, why don’t you just go to Harry and talk about this? Black Crystal’s are strong as fuck and they can take your asswipe Father down in mere seconds.” He says placing a hand on my arm. I wince and he takes his hand off muttering a soft sorry under his breath.

“I can’t. I can’t betray my father. I’m all he has... mother would be ashamed of me.”

“That man killed your mate, he killed my mate and he killed several others mates too, if there is someone your mother would be ashamed of, that would be him, not you!” he says and his eyes go red for a moment but he controls it. “All I’m saying is, just think about it okay? I’ll be with you on this... we can take him down together, man.”

“I will.” I say not really meaning it. “Can you give me a ride to the Black Crystal today? I don’t think I can drive with my arm like this.”

“Sure, man. But you haven’t told me yet, why do you go there so often nowadays? Found a pretty chick, did ya?” he says wiggling his eyebrows as we make our way to the parking lot.

“Something like that.” I say and a smile suddenly appears on my face.

“Thanks man. I’ll see ya later.” I say to Marshall and he drives off to the pack again. I hide behind the bushes as I get closer to the pack house. I finally reach the banyan tree which his right outside Jennifer’s room. I try to climb it like I usually do but fall because of my wounded arm. I quickly jump back on my feet “Enough of falling for today.” I say under my breath and take a deep breath before climbing the tree again. i jump from branch to branch and then finally jump into the balcony. I grin at myself, satisfied that I can work with a wounded arm too. But my smile instantly fades when I see Jennifer in his arms.  

“But no, seriously, why do you love me, Harry?” She says looking into his eyes innocently.

“That’s the stupidest question you could ever ask to me, but then again, you really are stupid so I’m going to answer anyway. I fell in love with you that first time I saw you, Jenn. The way you were begging a wolf to release you and then threatening him saying he doesn’t know your father... but seriously though, who does that?” he says and laughs..

 “Oh shut up.” She say and her cheeks flush showing how embarrassed she is feeling right now. “Also, I love it when you blush, like you’re blushing right now” I love that blush too.

“I love the way you smile, the way you talk, you look hot when you get angry, but I’m way hotter than you are, just saying.” He says and she smacks his arm. “I can’t express my love for you in words, Jennifer, I just love you.. it’s that simple but very complicated. You won’t understand yet, but one day, you will... and that day you will tell me ‘Harry, you sexy beast.. I love you.’” cheesy bastard.

“I’m not going to call you a sexy beast.” She says chuckling.

“That means there will be a day you’ll say that you love me.” he says in her ear so quietly that if I weren’t a werewolf, I wouldn’t be able to hear it. “And I will be waiting for that day.” He kisses her ear and releases her from his grip. “Come on, let’s go down, you need to eat.” With that he picks her up bridal style and walks out of the bedroom. But before he closes the door, Her green eyes fall on me, our gazes lock and I see her gasp. She looks like she didn’t want to see me and for some reason, it hurts.
