Did not re-sign a new lease, 5 months later getting married, moving in with new mate and landlord saying that I still owe for another 7 months.
Any thoughts and please if known site statute numbers

Unless your original lease had a clause stating it auto-renews, then you are now a month-to-month tenant. And even if your original lease did have such a clause, it may or may not actually be enforceable.
You only have to give
7 days notice in North Carolina to your landlord that you intend on moving. If he has a problem with it, tell him to show you a current signed lease that says otherwise.
