Nova was given away to a rogue leader when she was just seven years old by her father. She was rescued by the pack again when she was 16 and placed back in the care of her father. Ever since then, she's been hustling to get enough money to get away from her father who literally traded her away and the pack that abandoned her back in his care. That is until she finds her mate: Alpha Ivan. She hates him immediately, seeing him only as someone who is going to tie her to the pack that she so desperately wants to leave. But Ivan isn't going to let her go.
View MoreAlpha Derek and Luna Annalise are staring at me from the couch like I’m the missing link in their world to finally attain peace. I’m assuming that Ivan told them that I’m his mate, though I still don’t quite believe that. My wolf didn’t recognize him. I mean, there is something about him that I can’t quite seem to be able to let go of. As much as he scares me, I also long for his touch. And with my wolf not recognizing him…well, I’ve heard people say that their wolf has talked to them. That their wolf has a name. Things that their wolf thinks and feels and wants. My wolf has never done that. I mean, every once in a while, I’ll get feelings of anger that seem to come from more than me. Especially when Roy was beating me. That’s when I would have bursts of defiance. Sometimes I would fight back. Sometimes I would partially shift. It was inconsistent and I could never predict it. But it was there. It made me wonder i
I haven’t seen Nova all day and I’m excited to get to her room. I slept in my bed for a few hours, but it was shit sleep. Now that I know what it’s like to have my mate’s scent in the room with me as I sleep, I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to sleep without it again. I’m excited to see Nova, so when I walk into the room, I’m smiling as big as I can. Even more so since the nurse told me that she was awake. Turns out, the nurse didn’t tell me everything, because I see movement to the side of the room and I look over to see my parents sitting on the couch. “Hey Mom and Dad. What are you two doing here?” I ask with a furrowed brow. “I came to apologize to her, son. I need her to forgive me. I need her to know that I never meant – “ Dad’s voice cuts off as he starts to cry, his face in his hands and his shoulders shaking. Fuck! Fang curses in my head. She’s not ready for this shit. They couldn’t hold on to it for a few days so tha
The bastard managed to hold out a lot longer than I thought he would, but after finding out that he’s a beta blood, that makes sense. He’s tougher than the typical wolf, able to heal damage faster and withstand more damage than the typical wolf. I have two advantages over him. One, I’m an alpha, pissed off over the pain and suffering that this asshole has caused my mate her entire life. That is the other half of my soul and he damaged her just because he could. And there is very little a wolf won’t do for their mate. Add to that the fact that I have an alpha’s strength and temper and Roy was in for a whole hell of a lot of pain. Two, those hot shots might heal all of the physical injuries that he’s experiencing from the torture that I’m putting him through. But it does nothing to heal the mental damage. There’s only so much continuous pain that you can take before you start to crack. I’m pretty sure that he was catatonic by the time that I lef
I’m pushing the hospital food around on my plate, trying to make it look like I’ve actually been eating something. I mean, I know I need to eat. I need to build up my strength and all, but holy shit is this stuff bad. There’s like no seasoning. Everything is the texture of mush. I didn’t know that it was possible to burn something and have it partially frozen at the same time. Unfortunately, Dr. Fern is going to be pissed if I don’t eat. He said that me getting strong is the only way that he’ll let me out. And part of that is me eating my meals. Maybe I can order some food to my room? Pizza would definitely make me feel stronger. I’m trying to figure out if I can stomach a few more bites or if I should just risk flushing it down the toilet when there is a knock on the door to my room. Confused, I call, “Come in.” It’s weird that someone would be knocking on my door. The nurses knock, but they come right in, not waiting. And Ivan, the only other per
The doctor comes in and checks Nova over. She’s healing well and her wolf has come back online. The doctor wanted her to eat something to give her wolf some energy, but Nova’s eyes were already heavy. “You sleep. When you wake up, we’ll make sure that you get some food in there,” Dr. Fern tells her, a calm and fatherly tone to his words. “Thanks, doctor,” Nova says, her eyes already closing and a cute sleepy note in her voice. I can’t help but smile at her and I kiss her forehead as she drifts off to sleep. I follow Dr. Fern out of the room, wanting to make sure that I didn’t wake her up. Once the door is closed, I turn to the doctor. “Alright, how is she really?’ Dr. Fern allows me to look at her chart, as if I would really understand anything written here. “I told her the truth, Alpha. Our Luna is doing great. Her wolf appears to have almost completely healed all of her broken bones. The abdominal bruising that was concerning
One week later… The sharp smell of astringent is the first thing that registers as the blackness starts to fade. I open my eyes, squinting even in the low lights. I’m facing a bank of windows and can easily see that it seems to be the dead of night. I can see the moon shining in the sky, letting me know that I’m high up in the floors of whatever building I’m in. That doesn’t take long to figure out with the IV in my arm and the machine beeping along merrily beside me. The hospital. How the hell did I get here? Why am I here? Searching my memory, the last thing that I remember is reaching for my money in my room as I was trying to get away. Did Roy come home? Did he beat me? Based on the aches and pains in my body, as well as the pounding in my head, that seems likely. But how did I get to the hospital? I’ve never woken up in any place other than the room that I was beaten in.
“Wait. You’re saying that Noah Martin’s mate…she’s Nova’s mother?” Dad asks. “It appears so, Alpha,” Dr. Fern replies, nodding towards the lab form still in my hands. Dad grabs it and looks it over as if it makes sense to him. Of course, it might. When Mom had her lymphoma scare, Dad had done a shit ton of research to figure out as much as he could to help her. Mom is a hybrid witch and werewolf. Her healing abilities aren’t the same as a typical werewolf. So when she started to have symptoms, like unexplained fevers and weight loss and weird bruising, it wasn’t something that we could just blow off. Luckily, with treatment, early detection, and her sped up healing abilities, she was able to heal quickly. Dad pulls out his phone and looks up a picture of Karmyn. When her picture pops up, his mouth flattens into a line and he turns his phone so that Mom can see who it is. When she sees it, she gasps. “What is it?” I as
It’s evening when my parents find me in Nova’s hospital room, carrying food and a duffel bag with a change of clothes and some toiletries. “This is your mate? Our future Luna?” My mother’s voice, though bleeding the sadness that she feels about Nova’s condition, also holds a hint of excitement. This is what she’s wanted for me for a long time. And she’s made no secret of the fact that she wants grandpups ASAP. I can’t help but smile, though it’s small and pained. I know that Nova is a rogue, but finding out how she became one, even the scant details that I have, make me feel oddly better. People are only rogues for bad reasons, usually things that they have done themselves. Violent crimes. Rape. Frequent assaults. But that isn’t Nova. And I don’t know how I could have thought that the Goddess would have mated me with someone like that. It made me judge her. It made me less than ecstatic that she was my mate. If I had immediately accepted
Fang is freaking the fuck out in my head, moving between whimpering as we watch the paramedics work on stabilizing Nova, pacing when we don’t understand their medical lingo, and growling whenever we get a whiff of that man’s scent. He lives here with Nova. I can tell that from the mixed scents in the house. Are they related? Is he her boyfriend? He looks too old for that and she seems smarter than that. Granted, I don’t really know her, so I don’t know what her type is other than me. Mates are made to be each other’s “type.” Hence the big tits and amazing ass on Nova. Guess she likes tall, dominating, well-muscled guys.And this dude ain’t that.Jude and Jakobi, my head warrior, come and drag him out of the room. “Find out who the fuck he is,” I growl at Jude, my voice much deeper from Fang being present with me. “He lives here, there has to be some form of identification for him here.”“Yes, Alpha,” Jakobi says immediately.Jude looks at me and I know that he can
“Daddy? Why are we here?” I know I’m whining and Daddy hates whining, but I can’t help it. It’s cold and dark and scary and I want to go home. “Shut the fuck up!” he orders. Though his voice is gruff and the words that he says are mean, he isn’t really paying attention to me right now. He’s too busy peering into the gloom that’s all around us. Daddy looks down at his watch and then looks back into the trees that surround us. His movements are fast and jerky, like he’s on that special medicine again. Well, more like he needs to have another shot with the special medicine. He always gets meaner whenever he needs the special medicine. “Are we really going to see Mommy out here?” I ask. That’s what Daddy had told me when he made me get out of bed. He was bringing me out into a deep dark part of the words beyond our pack borders where the teachers always tell us that we’re never allowed to go so that we could get Mommy and bring her home. He
