Chapter 99
Noah exclaimed exasperatedly. I give him a look, taking the bottle of whiskey and pouring
myself a cup.
“Noah, I was wearing heels.”
thins his lips and begrudgingly grumbles under his breath.
“He wouldn’t have been looking at your shoes either way…”
I smile with the shake of my head before sipping on my drink. The cool glass cooling the skin on my fingers as the ice melted.
“So what? You and Locksworth are in some kind of mutual agreement? You two are all everyone is talking about since the Gala yesterday. The whispering, the dancing, the intimate touches, the kisses-”
Noah leans even closer until he’s right by my ear and looks to his left and right even when we’re all alone in my office.
“…the wandering hand on your thigh.”
He whispers.
I laugh wholeheartedly and nod. My wolf laying on her side while she lazily watched him in amusement. My wolf had taken a liking to Noah. He was like a brother to me, granted we now shared a close bond unlike the other members of the pack. He and Isaac were like her siblings. She grew to care for them in a sisterly and occasionally, motherly way.
“Oh yes,
how could I forget? The wandering hand.”
I muse.
Noah nods but before he could say anything there came a stream of knocks -more like bangs- at the door. I sigh, feeling Merediths presence and growing excitement radiate from the wood separating us. Noah turns his head to look at the door before slowly returning his
gaze to me.

Chapter 99
I pray for you.
He mouths.
Rolling my eyes, I got up from the couch opposite of Noah and took a seat at my desk.
“Come in,”
Meredith, in her gray slacks and a white loose blouse, burst through the door and made a eline toward me. She slammed her hands flat against the desk with a shit eating grin plastered on her face growing impossibly quick.
“When were you going to tell me about you and Alpha Locksworth?”
I feign ignorance and rose a brow.
“What ever do you mean?”
She narrowed her gaze, pushing herself off my desk and crossed her arms. Noah, who sat behind her drank his whiskey, giving me a side glance just screaming with amusement. He was thoroughly enjoying the show.
“Don’t act coy with me, Selene. I know those looks Alpha Locksworth was giving you. Kit used to look at me like that all the time.”
She lets out a wistful sigh.
“So, you two just fucking or is it serious?”
Noah splutters on his drink, coughing violently as he wiped his mouth of the whiskey he spilled all over his shirt. Pulling on his shirt to stop it from clinging onto his chest, he sheepishly looks up at us with reddened cheeks.
“I think she asked you a question, Alpha.”
Gee, thanks Noah.
I appreciate it.
“No, Meredith. Raizel and I are not in that kind of relationship.”

Chapter 99
I deadpan, sitting back against my chair. She nods with understanding even with the slight skepticism in her expression.
“So if you aren’t in that kind of relationship, what kind of relationship are you in?”
“There’s no relationship-”
“Not yet!”
ah, oh so gracefully pitches in while struggling to dry off his shirt.
I shoot him a glare but it was cut off from Meredith’s high pitched squealing. She jumped up and down, clapping her hands joyfully before holding her face between her hands.
“Oh Selene! I’m so happy for you! When Elizabeth called me and told me about you two in the woods doing the do, I was almost about to call James and tell him to get her checked! Hell, I thought Alpha Locksworth was out there murdering you but this is even better!”
I blinked at her wordlessly and slowly parted my lips.
“You and Elizabeth… gossiped about me?”
Meredith rolled her eyes.
“Of course we did, hon. Did you really think us ladies wouldn’t be talking about this beauty and the beast like romance between you too? This is way better than talking about boring old rogue this and rogue that! I’m not getting younger, Selene. I need some spice in my life.”
Noah snorted in the back.
“Beauty and the Beast? More like Beast and the Beast.”
He looked up at the ceiling and grins.
“The Bloodlust Alpha and the Hellhound. They’ll likely go hunt rogues on a killing massacre before you could find them dancing in the library singing duets together. If that’s not goals, I don’t know what is. That’s modern day love right there.”
“Oh? I’ll make note to tell Mailia that on your next date, she should bring you to the rogue borders. In fact, I’ll do it now.”

Chapter 99
- 1.
Noal paled, swallowing as he shook his head. He let out a nervous chuckle.
“No need Alpha. You wouldn’t want a dead Beta, would you? Dead Beta’s don’t work efficiently. They aren’t even fun. They’re always under the weather…. six feet under to be exact… and in the … ground.”
He mumbled.
I grinned victoriously with a hum.
“Good point…”
I looked at him straight in the eyes.
He scowled from the name, crossing his arms. He muttered to himself before saying,
“Nate.”
