Nobody knows, but what is certain is that Noelani was Rhys's mate, and the two of them were inseparable until the latter's passing. Fortunately for him, Noelani's grandfather's plan to link his granddaughter to Storm after he passed away and Storm assumed the role of Alpha was successful. They are associated.
I was in awe of Willow as she spoke the entire account in one long, bored-sounding sentence. Why does it appear that nothing stays as it is? Something is always there. But why would Noelani be eager to marry Storm if she truly loved Rhys? I suddenly asked the question that had been bothering me ever since I learned about Noelani. Storm is going to become her husband when he was intended to be her brother-in-law. Simply put, that's abnormal. Why does everyone around here act as though taking a loved one's lover after their death is commonplace? It's wacky as hell, but I'm not even passing judgment. I'm simply speaking the truth.
