Chloe’s guess was spot on. The big group Peyton mentioned was actually the soldiers who got left behind.
The vehicles trailing the army formed a long line. It looked like they were carrying a lot of survivors.
Grovenwich was pretty close to Bluehaven Base, so Chloe guessed that Chiara and Filip had probably already been picked up by the military.
Just as Chloe was about to leave, the mutant cheetah clamped down on her pant leg and shot her a fierce glare.
Why are you glaring at me? Your owner’s already awake. Just go with the army.” Chloe said.
She tried to get in the car, but the cheetah wouldn’t let go, still hanging onto her pant leg.
“You want to come with me?” Chloe asked.
The cheetah nodded hard.
“No way, there’s no room for you in our crew,” Chloe said.
She shot a glance at Noah, who stood tall at six feet, with chiseled features and piercing eyes. Just standing there, he radiated an intimidating presence.
If it weren’t for the amnesia, with that lost look in his eyes, he’d be downright dangerous.
Even though Chloe was dying to take the mutant cheetah with her, she worried she might not live long enough actually to keep it.
“Hey, seriously, let go of me. Just stick with the army. They’ll take care of you, and you’ll get plenty to eat.” Chloe said.
The cheetah let out a couple of angry roars, clearly not backing down.
Chloe was really starting to lose her patience.
Emily shot Chloe a mischievous look and said. “Chloe, ever since that guy first laid eyes on you, he’s been stuck to you like glue. He doesn’t trust anyone else.
“If you really can’t shake him off, why not just claim him for yourself?”
Chloe’s eyes went wide, and she nearly choked on her own spit.
“Emily… Chloe sputtered.
Emily quickly waved her hand, cutting Chloe off before she could say anything else.
Emily said, “No, I mean, why not let him join our crew? He looks kind of dorky but cute, super easy to boss around. And the real kicker is, he’s got a level–four mutant cheetah with him.
She glanced at Noah, who was still glued to Chloe’s side. The moment she got close, an intimidating chill seemed to radiate from his tall figure.
Emily shivered and instinctively took a step back.
She sucked in a breath, thinking, Jeez, it’s freezing”
Chloe thought it over for a moment, then shook her head.

For starters, they barely knew each other. And honestly, Noah was a total wild card. Sure, he was all chill now because of the amnesia, but who knew what he was really like?
Chloe thought, ‘What if he suddenly gets his memory back one day? Wouldn’t that spell trouble for us?
Suddenly, a baby’s cry rang out from inside the RV: soft, but desperate.
Before anyone could react, the mutant cheetah shot into the RV and came back out, gently carrying a baby in its mouth.
Everyone went dead silent, their hearts racing.
“Put my son down!” Joan shouted, freaking out but too scared to get any closer.
The mutant cheetah tilted its head at Chloe, the message clear a day.
If Chloe didn’t take them along, it would devour the baby and everyone here, too.
Chloe rubbed her forehead in exasperation.
Suddenly, she lunged forward, her right hand gripping Noah’s neck, her eyes flashing with a strange light.
“Kitty, if you dare hurt that baby, I’ll strangle your master,” Chloe hissed.
She grumbled inwardly, ‘Seriously, why is this guy so freakishly fall?‘
His height was seriously intimidating, and it was starting to get on her nerves.
Just then, Molly tugged at Chloe’s arm.
“Chloe, maybe we should just let them stay? That amnesia guy really seems to like you,” Molly suggested.
But Chloe didn’t budge. Her lips curled slightly as she said, “I hate being threatened.”
The mutant cheetah started pacing in circles, clearly annoyed.
It shot a glare, then yanked at Noah’s pant leg, trying to pull him back.
The cheetah huffed, ‘Whatever. If she doesn’t want us, we’re outta here.
But Noah didn’t move an inch. He glanced down at the cheetah with a soft look and said, “I want to stick with her.”
The cheetah was so fed up; it just wanted to slap some sense into Noah.
The cheetah thought, ‘Seriously? You’re supposed to be a freaking War God! Do you even realize who you are?
But when it met Noah’s pleading eyes, it had no choice but to shink down into a tiny, palm–sized cub and start rolling all over the ground at Chloe’s feet, acting all cute and needy.
It was frustrated and helpless at the same time.
The sudden switch left everyone totally stunned.
The cheetah rolled around a bit, showed off some clumsy tricks and finally looked up at Chloe with the saddest eyes, whining softly.
Noah reached out and lightly touched Chloe’s cheek.
“It says if you let me stay, it’ll fight for you, devour your enemies and keep you safe,” Noah said.

Chloe felt his cold fingertip on her cheek and instantly recoiled shock
“Back off, punk!” she snapped.
Noah blinked and said, “Your skin’s really soft.”
Everyone sucked in a breath.
They thought, ‘Whoa, did Chloe just get hit on?’
Up ahead, the sound of car horns blared. They were finally clear to move out.
“Alright, alright, just get in the car already,” Chloe said, finally giving in.

Good thing the RV was pretty spacious: cram everyone in and it could hold seven or eight people, no problem.
After that, they tagged along behind the army, heading out together.
Having a big group made everything easier. No matter what obstacles popped up ahead, they got cleared out in no time.
Inside the RV, Noah sat up straight in his custom–made outfit, with a sleepy little cub curled up on his shoulder.
Everyone was staring at him like he was some kind of rare specimen.
Noah met their curious stares head–on, completely unfazed.
Every now and then, he’d flash them a smile.
Maybe because he rarely smiled, it looked a little out of place on his usually cold face.
“Molly, do you think he has any abilities?” Emily asked, her eyes xed on Noah’s face.
She was totally swooning over his good looks, reaching out to touch his cheek, but Noah dodged away.
Noah leaned back, then glanced at Chloe with a hint of puppy–dog sadness in his eyes.
Everyone’s gaze bounced between Noah and Chloe, then back again.
Chloe was honestly speechless. She asked, “Why are you looking at me?”
Who would’ve thought? She was just trying to treat Noah when he suddenly woke up in the middle of it. The first thing he saw was Chloe.
So he was stuck with her for good.
Chloe thought, ‘Seriously, what did I do to deserve this?‘
Tm hungry Noah said, his voice deep and a little aggrieved.
That husky, almost wounded tone was about to make Chloe lost
Just then, Liana came out of the kitchen with a bowl of beef past
“Come on. Haven’t eaten in days, have you? Have some pasta fi Liana said.
Noah gave the beef pasta a quick, indifferent look, then locked eyes with Chloe, making her scalp tingle with unease.
“Why are you staring at me?” Chloe asked, a bit flustered.

“Feed me,” Noah said quietly.
Chloe’s eyes widened with disbelief. She was completely taken aack.
Emily was the first to turn, and soon everyone was staring, their yes brimming with gossip and teasing.

Chloe, super embarrassed by the whole vibe, called out toward the front of the RV, “Frank, let’s switch seats. I’ll take the
wheel.”
“It’s all good, Chloe. I’m totally fine, not tired at all,” Frank replie, practically bouncing in his seat.
Chloe thought, ‘Wait, why does he sound kind of hyped?‘
