Chapter 116
(Author’s POV)
Noah had always maintained an image of being fragile and weak person in front of his pack members, for outsiders he acted as a human. Neither his grandfather nor his father knew about his Lycan abilities. If they knew about the sheer strength and power he possesses, they will either see him as a threat to them or worse, they will try to make him compete in that circus called Alpha king’s position. At least, Hanson will do.
He didn’t wanted anything from them. He just wanted to live a quiet and peaceful and help people with his medical skills, regardless of race, age, gender or kind.
So, when Noah clutched his grandfather by the throat, Hanson couldn’t believe what was happening to him. ’This mere weakling, how does he have such immense strength within?’ He was struggling to break free as Noah tightened his grip around his neck. He was suffocating and barely able to breathe.
Hanson’s feet were off the ground as Noah, in a menacingly frightening voice warned him, “Be in your limits, Hanson Boneless Gilbert.” He then yanked his body to the ground.
Hanson held his neck as he gulped mouthful of air to breathe. Noah bent on one knee and looked him dead in the eyes. His eyes turned gold in that moment as he repeated, “Remember, Don’t cross the limit p>
Noah got up and dusted of the dirt from his clothes, tucked his slightly disheveled hair and walked away with imposing steps. Hanson, who was lying down, seems to be in some trance world as his eyes were fixated at the departing figure of Noah.
After a few seconds, Hanson came to his senses and looked at his surroundings. He was confused, “Where am I? And why am I sitting on the floor?” He touched his throat and felt an aching sensation there, which left him even more perplexed, ’Why is my neck aching so much p>
He then looked at his surroundings one more time and after making sure no one was watching him, he got up from the floor and went out of the emergency door.
Noah went straight to the bathroom and was now clutching his chest tightly, he was hyperventilating. As a Lycan wolf, he was blessed with the ability of erasing someone’s memory fully or partially. That was why Hanson was in trance state and got confused, he couldn’t remember.
But this blessing had a downside to it. He cannot use his ability for personal use or fun otherwise, his heart will weaken and he will experience unbearable chest pain, just like now.
After doing some deep breathing exercise, he felt better. He looked himself in the mirror, his face was pale, his lips seemed slightly discolored and his hair was a mess. He pursed his thin lips and his wolf said to him, “Noah, we already knew the consequences of bringing Bella and Sara to the Moon Shine Pack. Now that things have come to this point and your father is also here. Let’s tell Sara about ourselves. I don’t want to conceal this anymore p>
Noah agreed with his wolf, “Arth, I will tell her everything. But right now, she is stressed because of her sister’s health. Once Bella’s condition is stabilized, I will tell her p>
He cleaned himself up and went outside, where he found all the others present. He made a beeline and stood beside Sara asking her if she was feeling better. She hummed in response. Her eyes were fixated at the Critical Care Unit’s door.
Keith interrupted Nathan and Lucius’s talk and uttered. His tone a bit arrogant, “Alpha Lucius, can you command your men to lift the barrier once again. My son, Caiten is standing at your pack’s border and wants to check up on Bella’s condition.” He looked at Noah with snobbish look, thinking, ’My son’s here weak boy, now you won’t stand any chance p>
Before Lucius could say anything, Sara interrupted, “Alpha Keith, no need for his visit. We will handle it ourselves p>
Keith’s eyes flickered with darkness. He was flabbergasted by Sara’s cold and distant response. Sara used to call him Uncle Keith, so he couldn’t comprehend why she said that. All of a sudden, he remembered Caiten’s words, ’Cai said, he was there when Bella had this accident. That’s why Sara doesn’t want him to come.’ He thought Sara must be blaming Caiten for not taking care of her younger sister, she must be feeling disappointed.
But he simply cannot let this misunderstanding drag on. Otherwise Noah would seize this chance. He went to Sara’s side and patted her shoulder, “Sara, you and Caiten have been best friends since childhood and I see you as my own daughter. I don’t know what happened between you kids but at least give him a chance to explain. After all, we all are family. “
Sara didn’t wanted to see Caiten’s face at all. But right now, it wasn’t a good thing to make a scene. They were not even in their own pack, so she yielded to his request. She nodded but her face remained devoid of any emotion. She simply was blaming Caiten for his wrong doing.
Keith was satisfied and glanced Noah’s way, giving him a disdainful look.
Nathan didn’t understand what happened for Sara to be so upset with Caiten. He didn’t thought too much and just assumed, ’They must be having some small misunderstanding.’ His entire focus was on his youngest.
Lucius was being surprisingly generous today. He commanded his men to lift of the barrier and let Caiten pass.
Soon Greg came. He was fully clothed and all patched up now. When he saw Lucius and Hanson present, his heart raced. He looked at Noah and the latter shook his head sideways. Greg sighed in relief and joined Noah and Sara.
He then looked at the new comers and asked Noah, his voice a mere whisper, “Who are they p>
Without looking at him, Noah replied in a hushed voice, “The one sitting there with Alpha Lucius is Alpha Nathan, Sara and Bella’s father and Alpha of the Blue Mountain Pack p>
