Noah 

Noah straightened his tie, taking one last deep breath to calm his nerves. This was it–the moment of truth. Finally, he grabbed the handle and turned it. 

The single hanging light in the otherwise dark interrogation room was almost blinding as it gleamed off the polished surface of the metal table. But the moment Noah’s eyes adjusted, they immediately locked onto Scott. 

Noah felt his blood begin to boil anew. 

His Beta, his half–brother, the man who had betrayed him in ways he couldn’t have imagined, sat there looking small and defeated. He wore a gray prison uniform and looked like he hadn’t slept in days, dark circles ringing his eyes–his eyes which, due to fear or guilt or both, refused to meet Noah’s. 

Good. 

Noah took his seat opposite Scott. The metal chair scraped against the floor as he pulled it back, unbuttoning one button on his suit jacket before sitting. Every movement was slow, deliberate, painstaking. 

Noah said nothing for several long moments, simply letting the silence speak for him. He could see Scott growing increasingly uncomfortable, fidgeting in his seat. His red hair hung in his eyes as he dipped his head even further, straining his neck. 

“Why, Scott?” 

Noah hated how pained he sounded, how vulnerable despite his attempt at cold, unfeeling determination. Noah and Scott had never had the closest of relationships, but still… Scott was his brother. How could he have betrayed him like this? 

Scott shifted uncomfortably in his seat, his eyes darting around the room, looking anywhere but at Noah. He remained silent. Infuriatingly silent. 

Noah felt his anger rising to the surface, bubbling just beneath his skin like a pot about to boil over. He couldn’t take it anymore. He’d been holding back his emotions this past week, focused solely on Hannah and Melody, but…. 

In a sudden burst of fury, he slammed his hands down on the table, making Scott jump. Noah’s fangs flashed as he leaped to his feet, his chair clattering to the floor behind him. 

“WHY?!” he roared, his voice reverberating off of the walls. 

Scott visibly paled, terror taking over his features. And then, like a dam breaking, the words began to spill 

out 

“It… it was all part of the plan,” Scott stammered, his voice shaking. “From the very beginning, Zoe and I… we were working to get you two together.” 

Noah’s eyes narrowed. “What are you talking about?” 

Scott took a shuddering breath. “All those years ago, Zoe, she…” He swallowed hard. “She had to have you. Not you, but Nightcrest. She tried to seduce you, but you had just realized that Hannah was your

mate, and you were head over heels. That was when she recruited me.” 

“Go on…” 

“We managed to wipe your memories of Hannah,” Scott continued, “to make you think Zoe was your mate and not Hannah. Zoe said it was an ancient spell, a special… potion. It clouded your mind and then we cut your mate bond with Hannah.” 

Noah frowned, “But why make me believe that it was my bond being cut with Zoe if she wanted me for herself?” 

Scott shrugged. “Zoe said that it would make you desperate for her if you thought that she didn’t want you. That you’d be eating out of her palm.” He glanced up at Noah, his eyes flicking down to Noah’s hands, which were trembling with rage. 

rage. “And you did.” 

“But then…” Scott shook his head. “Then your parents decided to go through with that arranged marriage anyway, even though you were in love with Zoe. And Zoe got married off to Drake, and everything fell 

apart.”
