Chapter 302
AELIANA
Noah wasn’t feeling well this morning so I had to go to the training yard alone. However, when I came to find her, she was nowhere to be seen, I took a bath, changed my clothes, looked again, and I couldn’t find her still, but I know she’s around, her phone was in the bed.
I’m checking on her for the third time when she steps into the room, “My Ellie.” She backs away. “What are you doing here?” She asks.
My eyes drop to the towel she’s holding around her waist and I frown. The air smells different now, I catch a whiff of her scent, and another that I know all too well. “Why do you smell like Rowan?” I ask, his scent on her overpowers her own, it’s almost as if she bathed and soaked in it for days. “Noah Fren,” I scold, already knowing the answer.
“I’m sorry, my Ellie,” she blurts out, her hand twisting around the towel. “But I-”
“When?” I frown. I’d been gone for what? Two hours? And that’s the first thing she does? Last I heard from her she was writing him a letter asking him to stop tailing her to make things easier for her.
“About an hour ago maybe?” She pauses, “Bu-but I promise it is in fact the last time, I won’t do it again, I… it won’t happen, I just needed to forget him.”
Forget him?
“My honey…” I sigh, finally defeated. She’s stuttering, Noah doesn’t stutter, she slept with him once and now she can’t articulate herself well?
“It was a one-time thing,” she tells me, but the glint in her eyes and her flushed cheeks tell me she’s lying, or maybe she doesn’t know it yet that she is. “I was going to keep thinking about it had I not fucked him now. He was taking over my brain, but now, I’m done.” She says, nodding to herself. “I fucked him out of my system.”
“Really?” I scoff, her words sound familiar. This is exactly what I had told myself the first time I slept with Kingston, it was a white lie that haunted us both, once is never enough. Things worked out perfectly for us two, the goddess showed us her favour, but that’s not happening to them. Rowan has a mate, he chose Danielle, the bond chose her, it’s too late for Noah. “How sure are you?”
She shrugs, “I just am.”
I sigh, staring her down. I finally get a good look at her, not only does she smell like him, she looks touched by ten of him, and she appears to like it. Noah always has complaints about the hickeys and marks she has to cover with makeup, but not his? They’re fucked.
“What?” She frowns, smoothing a hand over her hair, as if that’s the problem.
“You look run over.” I frown. “How was it?” I ask, out of habit and curiosity.
“It was good,” she swallows, shifting slightly. My gaze falls to her legs, and I wince when I see a fresh

trail of white down her leg. “You know how I love a submissive man? He isn’t, he fucked me hard, my Ellie, but he listens so well..” she groans, her tone filled with frustration. “It’s a shame I’ll never be with him again.”
“Oh God,” I shake my head. “You’re giving me grey hairs, my Noah.”
“It’s done, swear.”
“I don’t need you promising me anything, you’re an adult, do what you want. There is nothing wrong with that.” I shrug, my therapist and I tackled this topic, and I’m not to interfere, but to spectate. “Just remember, they have an open marriage, but you? You have an open heart.”
Her eyes widen and she swallows. “No heart, just a messy sex drive, this was a mishap, I haven’t had sex in a long time..”
“Are you sure?” I raise an eyebrow. “I’ve been thinking about you two, and you indeed have heart in this already.”
“No, it’s not like that.” She instantly protests, “I won’t…”
