Chapter 18

Oh. Of course he did.

“It’s good,” I answered. “You saw it yourself. He was sitting with me and Arianna. Not something that happens often, is it?”

“That’s true.” Mason nodded. “Was he talking any?”

“Sure. More than usual.” I smiled. “We’re all good, trust me. Do you seriously think I would just sit there if he was ignoring me after everything last night? Na-ah. You know me.”

“I do, but I also know my brother. Let’s just hope for the good and hope he stays good. Don’t you have a meeting later?”

“Yep. Two hours. My dad is picking us up before six he said. Why, are you coming with?”

“No, just asking. I heard those guys that came with Warren yesterday were good trainers in their old pack. I think my dad was talking about having them as your and Noah’s trainers, you know, for the Alpha positions.”

“Really? I thought they were giving us someone older.”

“Maybe. I’m not sure.”

“Where is Chelsea?” I asked. “You guys all good?”

Mason scoffed. “Hah, we’re always good sweetie. You’ll know what I mean once your mate starts loving you for real. She’s still at my place, with the twins.”

“You left her with the twins? Bad idea. And shut up about Noah and I already, it’s weird enough anyways.” I shot him a glare but smiled anyways. It was impossible to get annoyed or mad at this guy.

“Can’t. It’s too funny and too weird for me too. I have to joke about it.” He laughed. “No but I love you both and I’m happy that you’ve finally found each other even though you were in each others faces all these years. I’ll go back now before my brothers kill my mate with their boring jokes.”

“Thanks, I love you too. And yes, go. I’d rather be alone than find out that Leo and Theo are guilty for killing her. Bye, Mason.”

“Bye, you freak,” he said before walking out with a grin.

So I sit on the couch, staring out the window until the door finally opens and in steps my father. I glance at the clock quickly: 5:15. He kept his word. I got up with a smile and hugged him. I love hugging him and feeling his big protecting daddy arms around me.

“Hi, dad,” I said, looking up at him with a grin. He kissed my forehead.

“Hi, my sweetheart. Are you ready to go?” he asked. I nodded.

“Absolutely. I just need my jacket and shoes.”

“Okay, and when you’re done, can you go and get Noah? Wait for me outside, I’ll be out in a few minutes.”

I nodded and went up to my room, putting on my black biker jacket and my converse, running back down to the hallway. I called out to my dad, telling him I was going, and went outside. I walked over to Noah’s house, wondering if Liz and Jennifer were in town again today with Tyler. They spend an awful lot of time there which was a bit weird since they had supposedly came here to visit us and spend time with us.

I knocked on the door, taking a seat on the wooden bench they had built themselves on the porch. I waited for the door to open and when it did, Thresh was standing behind it. I smiled and gave him a hug.

“Hey, handsome,” I said, grinning. “Is Noah home? We have that meeting at the lake house and we’re leaving in a few.”

“Hey, Sam. Sure, he’s in his room. Do you want me to get him or do you want to do it yourself?” Thresh. It seemed weird that he would ask that, as if I wanted to go up myself. Because as far as everyone else knew, Noah and I weren’t friends. But maybe he’d seen the way we’d been acting towards each other these days, not fighting as much as before.

“Sure, I’ll go,” I said then, deciding to just go up. Thresh stepped aside and let me in and I said hello to everyone before going up the stairs and toward Noah’s room. It was shut. I knocked.

“Noah?” I said. “It’s Sam. My dad is home, he’s taking us to the meeting.”

The door opened.

“Hey,” Noah said. “Let me just grab my jacket.”

I waited for him as he put it on and we went down together, said goodbye and exited the house. We just stood there, waiting for my dad.

“You alright?” Noah asked. I looked at him, brows raised.

“Yeah,” I said, nodding. “Just zoned out for a second.”

Silence. We both felt awkward, I knew it. It would be weird if we just started acting all mate-y and stuff because we were Noah and Samantha and I know I keep blaming it on that but it’s true.

Noah nudged me, sending me those sparks again that, up until now, I hadn’t realized how much I missed them. He smirked at me, looking at me sideways. I smiled back, the picture of him close to me before I kissed him covering my entire brain.

“I liked it when you had the shorts,” Noah said, smirking. Now I knew he was playing on purpose. He couldn’t change all together, could he? He had to be Noah too but I didn’t hate it. Just some parts of it. I was glad he as at least nice to me when he wanted to.

“Good thing I put on the jeans then,” I replied, smirking back.

“I can take them off if you want to. Piece of cake.”

“Another time,” I said sarcastically just as my dad came out. “If you deserve it.” Noah chuckled, shaking his head as he said hello and we walked to the car. We got in to the backseat as my dad got in the drivers seat and drove off as soon as we had shut the doors.

The sun was slowly going down and there were some beautiful yellow and pink streaks on the sky that I couldn’t stop staring at as we drove. When we arrived by the lake, the sky was even more beautiful and I could see more now. My dad informed us that he’d call us in when the meeting with us would start so I walked over to the lake, hands in my pocket, and watched the sky. I loved these things, watching the stars, the sky and its beautiful creations and colors, the sunsets. Sometimes, I wondered what life would be if it was all colors. Just colors. If everything we did and said and thought were colors, what would they be? It seemed so fascinating, everything with colors. I loved them.

“I still think it’s weird,” Noah said from beside me, also watching the sky. I chuckled, nodding.

“I do, too. But we have to get used to it, I guess.” I shrugged.

“It’s just,” he started, “I don’t know what to, you know, do. I mean, I know and I want to but at the same time, I don’t know how. It’s weird because it’s us but I still feel like it isn’t weird. Is that weird?”

“You’re weird,” I said, confused by all his “weird’s.” He chuckled, shaking his head.

“Sorry. I just want you to know what I’m thinking when it comes to this.”

“I know what you mean, though.” I nodded. “But I don’t worry.”

“There’s no reason to.” He stepped closer. “I already told you; everything about our past is gone. It would eventually go away even if we weren’t mates but this just made it happen faster.” He smiled. “I’m not all cocky and cold as I might look or act, you know. I’ll come around.”

I just smiled, nodding. That was nice to know. I knew we’d get to our feelings later but the fact that he wanted me to know why and how he felt and what he was thinking, well, it gave me more hope because I knew now even more that he really wasn’t the guy he pretended to be.

My dad called us in after that and we walked in together, greeting everyone else in the room. There weren’t as many men as before; there was my dad, Uncle John and four more. We sat down in the chairs that we had sat in on the first meeting and they began.

“So, as you know, you will be trained for your Alpha positons,” Uncle John started. “You will get all the information and facts about it under these few months. We have decided that the trainings should start right now already and next week will be the first time.”

“What days?” Noah asked.

“It will be Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays for now. We might add another day in the future. Also, we have spoken to Warren who told us that the boys that were with him had been trainers in their first pack and they offered to be here as well. So we’ve chosen the four of them to train you together with four of ours. We have eight trainers all together but that’s only because they will all have different days with you.”

That meant Michael was one of them. Ugh, I could only hope Noah wouldn’t get upset about him again. I was going to try to not be with him too much but I wasn’t going to be mean and cold all of a sudden and just ignore him. After all, we would see each other a few times now and he was going to train me. I couldn’t ignore him much, could I? I sighed in my head.

“Do you have any more questions about the training?” my father asked us.

“How many hours will there be per day?” I asked.

“It will be from ten AM to one pm on Mondays and Thursdays and from eight pm to eleven pm on Tuesdays. We think it’ll be good to have one day at night and the two days in the morning, or what do you think?” Uncle John asked.

“I think it’s good,” I said, nodding.

“Yeah,” Noah mumbled, nodding.

They said that the rest of the information wasn’t necessary to discuss now because the important thing was the training, so we were good to go. Noah and I told my father that we would go home by ourselves because we could both see that they still hade something more to discuss and wanted to stay.

“Are you sure? It’s quite a way back,” my father said.

“Dad, we’ll be fine.” I smiled. “I’ll see you later. Bye everyone, bye Uncle John.”

We left the lake house and started our way back home. It was a ten minute ride with the car and probably twenty minutes if you walked, but I didn’t mind. It wasn’t cold and I had the beautiful colors on the sky to watch. Noah and I walked side by side in silence, both probably lost in our thoughts.

I wondered what he was thinking about. As I felt a little bit weird, still, that Noah and I were actually walking together, hanging out and talking and being mates, at the same time, it felt absolutely normal, as if I’d known all along. I guess in some way, I kind of did, well, my wolf probably did.

“Are you cold?” Noah asked. I shook my head, smiling thankfully.

“No, I’m good. Thanks.”

Suddenly, he grabbed my face and, to fast for me to understand anything, pressed his lips softly against mine. I was surprised but it disappeared quickly and was replaced by that same feeling whenever we touched and the feeling of our lips together. Soft, wild, every kiss was amazing with Noah. His soft big hands held my face and I put mine around his as we pulled each other closer.

A thought came to my head: I didn’t really regret anything about my past because it made me to who I was today and in a way, Noah who he was today, the real person he was. And it made this mating special because of our previous relationship.

He pulled back his head, too quick if you ask me, and looked into my eyes. Then he smirked.

“I’ve wanted to do that all day,” he said, dropping his hands from my face. I pulled my arms back, amused by his sudden change of mood. I grinned at him, shaking my head as I quietly chuckled and we continued walking.
