Triad Mates: Of Wolves & Dragons

Chapter Ten

-Harley's POV-

"Yes, deaths." Noah says.

"Why? What?"

"That is the reason my pack is going." He says.

"What? You are there to investigate or something?"

"No... and yes. The others and I are there to protect the students. This school is not in our territory but it is under our jurisdiction because it is so close. Many of our own pack members go to it and even I did, so it is our job to keep them safe, besides, seems that whatever is killing has a preference... witches. And that is why we are the ones called for protection."

"Witches? You do know that I am going there with the pretense of being a witch, right?" I tell him.

"Yes, Korbyn already gave all of us instructions to keep you safe at all costs." He says.

I shake my head. "I'm sorry but this does not reassure me at all."

"I get it. But I promise, I personally won't let anything happen to you." He says.

Noah personally watching over me...

My thoughts betray me. I clear my throat, feeling a bit embarrassed at that.

"Okay." I say. "Do you... have any idea of what or who it could be?"

He shakes his head. "No. We don't have much information but once we get there, the headmaster will tell us what they know so far."

"Okay."

After a few seconds of silence, he speaks. "So... Draconians..."

I look at him waiting for him to continue.

"All I know is that you are very powerful and can shift into a dragon."

"Nope." I say. "Draconians can't shift into dragons, not under normal circumstances, and definitely not like you werewolves."

He looks at me confused. "But it was said that your mother-"

I interrupt him. "Yes, she could but only because she could summon our ancestor. Not many draconian can do that. It is a very rare thing to do."

"Can you?" He asks.

"... I... don't know. I guess I can since... I have Archion with me now but I haven't shifted yet. I... haven't tried it."

"Archion?" He asks.

"My ancestral dragon's name."

"Is that who you were talking to yesterday?"

"Yes."

"... So... he's in your body?" He looks confused.

"Yeah." I say.

("He better not say it...") Archion says in my head.

"... like... real possession?" Noah asks.

I start laughing because now Archion is cursing him.

"That's exactly what I keep telling him. He's a little demon!" I say.

Noha smiles but I can tell that made him a bit nervous.

"Don't you have a wolf inside of you?" I ask him.

"Yeah, but we can't communicate with it and it is like we are one. Nothing like you." He says.

"What? You scared?" I bump his shoulder with mine.

"No... do I look scared to you?" He says with a cheeky smile.

"Yeah, just a tiny bit." I giggle.

We are definitely flirting again.

"Well... it's not a normal thing to have a demon in your head."

("I swear to you, Harley! I will not help you if you don't get this straighten out")

I laugh again because Archion is now getting agitated.

"Okay, so he's not a demon... just a ghost."

("Harley! Not any better!") Archon shouts.

"Well, you are!" I argue. "You are my ancestral spirit... that makes you a ghost, does it not?! You yourself told me you were dead!"

Archion stays quiet because he knows I am right.

"Exactly!" I say.

My eyes now go back to Noah who just stares at me.

"You... are odd." He says.

"I am?!"

He nods. "Yeah... never met anyone like you."

That felt more like a compliment. Maybe he is the type that likes weird girls and I certainly can be weird.

The events from yesterday start to play in my head as I look at him. The way his lips taste, the way he touched my body, and the way he was making love to me. And I say love because even though we didn't have s*x, it felt like making love to me. It felt right. As if we belonged together. And I can see it in his eyes. He felt the same way and I can also see that he wants me now just like I want him.

Without warning, he leans in and kisses me. I immediately close my eyes. It is an instinct when it comes to him.

I get a taste of him again and I can't believe how much I missed it. His lips are so soft and the way he kisses me makes me melt.

One of his hands holds the back of my neck, pushing me to him, making our lips press hard against each other. The other hand is on my thigh where he massages and caresses. I am wearing jeans but I can still feel the electricity of his touch.

I am unable to stop the small moans from releasing out of my mouth and soon, his hand is riding up and I match him with my own hand also riding up his thigh.

Before he can even reach my core, I can feel his hardness. His member runs down his thigh. Even with his jeans, I can feel how hard it is.

Suddenly, the driver's window begins to go down and we quickly separate.

"Alpha, there is a bit of traffic so we'll be taking a different route." The driver says.

"Alright." Noah says as he tries to control his breathing.

He looks away and out of his window, taking a deep breaths.

I do the same, calming myself because I know that werewolves can smell arousal. He probably smells me right now and it makes it even harder for him.

That reminds me of what he said yesterday before he quickly stopped what we were doing. He said that he couldn't be doing this.

Why would he say that? It confuses me. I mean yeah, he was right to stop because we had just met and we were both drunk on the feeling of want, but it felt like there was a deeper reason as to why he said that. But I can't just ask him.

I sigh. We pass a flower store which reminds me of that dream I had with the daisy. I had it again last night. I was in the same place, looking at the three petal daisies.

I am brought back when Noah finally speaks.

"Sam, stop here." Noah says to the driver.

"Here? Where are we?" I ask.

I can see that we are not at the school yet. I look out and notice a clothing store. "Why are we here?"

"So that you can pick everything you want and need." He says.

I look at him confused.

"The school has uniforms but you still have nothing else to wear with you. No clothes, no shoes... pick what you want. Don't worry, it is all on Korbyn." He says. The way he says that seems to make him a little satisfied.

He is right, I have no clothes other than what I am wearing today, not even clean underwear.

As we get out, he holds the door open for me. From one of the other cars that were following us comes a big guy.

"Why are we stopping?" He barks out.

"Korbyns orders. She needs clothes." Noah says and then whispers. "...asshole."

The guy looks angry. He crosses his arms and starts following us inside.

"This was not part of the plan." He says. "We have a schedule and this is not part of it."

"Fine, then you get to the school first. We don't need you here." Noah says.

"Shitface!" The guy yells at Noah but he tries to keep it down because there are people around.

"Dickhead!" Noah shouts back but also tries to keep it down.

I bite my bottom lip trying to hold my laugh. I swear they almost act like siblings.

"Are you guys... related?" I ask.

"No!" They both shout at the same time.

"Just go, Jax! We don't need you here."

"I'm not going anywhere." Jax says.

I start to walk away from them, feeling just a bit embarrassed because people are starting to stare but they follow me.

As I start looking through the clothes, they continue to argue and bicker. It is like watching two brothers fight and argue.

"That's probably cause your d**k is small." Noah says, responding to something Jax said.

"Ha! Come and see mother fucker. It's bigger than your whistle!"

So guys really fight like this? And these guys are not keeping it low.

A woman with a child hears their argument and she covers the kid's ears while rushing him away.

That doesn't stop them. They continue being loud. I try to grab as many things as fast as I can but then I remember I need underwear. Trying to run away from them, I rush into the underwear section but they continue to follow me.

Tired and embarrassed by their behavior, I go to the panties area where there is a huge square area with underwear for sale. It is full of lace underwear. I grab as many as I can and start throwing them at them.

I hit them on the head and face.

"Shut up you two!" I shout but I don't stop until I hear them quiet.

When I get a look at them, they are covered in dangling panties. Jax has one hanging from his ear and Noah has one on his head.

"Why are you two acting like children?"

I look at two kids who are next to us quietly staring at us.

I look back at the guys. "Correction... seems kids act better than you two do!"

"It was dickheads fault!" Noah says.

"Me?! You shitface are the one that started it!"

I roll my eyes and decide to hurry it up. Nothing I say will stop them from arguing. I take whatever I can find in my size.

When finally I am done, we pay. The driver takes my stuff to the car and we head out but as we go through the doors, Noah grabs my good arm and rushes me forward.

"What are you doing?"

"Shh. Hurry up." He says and then looks back at Jax.

"When Jax goes through the doors, the alarm goes off.

Jax immediately looks at Noah. "You f*****g prick!"

Noah starts laughing and rushes us to the car. "I put one of those underwears with the tags in his back pocket."

Now I also laugh.

"Funny huh?" Jax says. To our surprise, he takes off running and gets in the car behind us. As the car speeds up, he lowers his window down and gives Noah the middle finger, then throws something at us.

Noah takes the underwear from his shoulders.

"Oh s**t!"

We see the security guards running in our direction as Noah unravels red lace underwear.

I gasp and we rush inside the car.

"Go! Go! Go!" Noah shouts to the driver and we speed away.

"What the heck is wrong with you two!"

He laughs. "Nothing. Just long-time rivalry and he's an asshole" He says.

I shake my head "Well you guys were embarrassing. Not even my little brother behaves like that."

He continues to laugh.

We settle down as we continue to make our way to the school.

When we are both calm, he looks at me and suddenly it seems like there is something he wants to say.

"Harley, I... should tell you. I have a..."

I wait but he closes his mouth.

When it looks like he is not going to continue, I ask. "What?"

He shakes his head. "Nothing... it was... a question. I had a question, that's all."

"Okay, go ahead."

"No... it's nothing."

That seems weird to me.

"Who is the one being weird now?" I mumble.

"You." He says with a smile.

"What?" I squint my eyes. "No, you."

"Nope. Definitely you but look, we are almost there." He says.

We are now in a quaint little town. The car turns to a small road that runs through a forest.

"This is cute. Hey, by the way, are you staying in the school too?" I ask him.

"Yeah, for the time being." He says.

That somehow makes me happy and safe.

The school finally comes into view.
