After I removed Leahs mark things got weird. One minute I was in the cinema room in the pack house and the next I’m having a weird dream. I was in a big gold room alone. Everything looks pristine and nothing looks familiar to me. Nala feels uneasy and honestly I don’t blame her. “Nova, we have to talk” comes from behind me. I don’t recognise the voice. This dream is so strange. I turn to find a tall thin woman with long blonde hair and eyes so grey they look like pools. “Who are you?”. She laughs and shakes her head at me and gestures her hand to an obscure chair to her left. I cautiously take a seat making sure to never move my eyes from her incase she attacks. I’ve always had strange dreams and I tend to get attacked in most of them. “I won’t attack you” she laughs. She takes the seat next to me and continues to chuckle for a few moments. “Who are you I ask again” I’m starting to feel impatient and I’m not sure why she finds this entertaining. “You really don’t
My body tingles and feels like it’s being pulled. My eyes straining against the bright gold light. I really should of taken some damn sunglasses with me. When the gold light recedes I’m left dazed and confused. I feel breathless and sway in my feet. It’s like I’ve just stepped off a roller coaster. I look up and relief floods me as I realise I’m back in the pack house. But no one else is here. Celestes words Come back to me and I immediately understand why I’m alone. It’s been 2 days! I walk towards the door my legs still shaky. As I step out of the cinema room I hear “Nova?!” I turn towards the stairs and see Leah. She rushes towards me and wraps her arms around me sniffling. “I’m so sorry if I upset you Nova, I didn’t mean it I’m so sorry” she’s holding me so tight I have trouble answering so I just pat her back. She eventually releases the chokehold she has on me and steps away. “You didn’t upset me” I reassure her “someone wanted to speak to me, I’m sorry I j
As I grab her hand the sparks of the mate bond dance along my skin. I’d promised myself if I saw her again I’d tell her the truth. About my past and about my feelings. I don’t want to hide things anymore. I knew the bond between us would be strong but I didn’t know how strong until the moment she disappeared right in front of me. I’d treated her badly up until that point. So used to being cold and alone I put the mask on and keep my distance. I look down at her and my heart pangs. “Ours” Zeus growls in my head. I roll my eyes at him , he takes possession to a new level. Zeus is a ruthless killer yet he melts when he see’s Nova. We head towards the grass hill just pass the pack house. Nova takes a seat on the grass and looks up at me. Her purple eyes taking on a heavenly hue in the sun. I sit next to her and just breathe. I’ve been on edge for 2 days. Close to insanity trying to work out what happened and where she’d gone. Now she’s back and I have to confess to e
Luca walks over to Nova and pulls her into his arms. Zeus growls in my head uneasy at how close they are. “Quiet down asshole no need to get jealous, Luca is our best friend” I tell him. He snarls but says nothing else. When Luca finally releases Nova she steps away and straightens her dress. “I’m glad your back! I was starting to think you skipped out on us to avoid our appointment” Luca says with a wink. Wait what appointment? I swing my gaze casually over to Nova to find her trying to shake her head to cut him off. He stops winking and glances at me before changing the subject “you missed us didn’t you!” She shrugs her shoulders. What the hell is going on ? What appointment? What are they doing together ? Why is it a secret? Why doesn’t she want me to know “quiet down asshole no need to get jealous” Zeus mocks in my head. I push him back not liking the smug look he’s sending me through our link. “So where did you go?” Luca asks with his eye sight trained on Nova. “I’m
I feel terrible lying to Matt. I’m actually surprised by how much it eats at my conscience. Stupid mate bond. Luca had just warned me that Matt had been asking questions and suggested we tell him about the wolf training. I had to beg Luca not to say anything. It’s embarrassing, and Matt and I are only just starting to get on. I can only imagine what he’d think if he knew I had no control over my wolf. Thinking back to our conversation on the hill before the dry humping started, I realise a lot of the resentment he had for me must of been aimed at his mum. He said she was cold and unaffectionate. Is that what he thinks of me? I know we can’t be together not really, not with my job but maybe we could just pretend for awhile? Just for my time here. My phone pings and I pull it out of my pocket and tear my eyes away from the wall id been staring at for the last 10 minutes in my room. The screen flashes Geoff Calling:I’m tempted to reject it or let it ring to
It’s almost mid night as I step out of my room. I sneak down the hallway and almost laugh at myself. I’m dressed in black workout clothes and trying to use every ounce of stealth I have to move through the house undetected. I must look like a budget ninja. As I come to the first set of stairs I carefully tread down , making sure to avoid the creaky steps. At the bottom of the first set I smile to myself at the success. On the second set of stairs is where things start to go wrong. I’ve miscalculated one of the steps and has my weight lands on it a loud creak ripples through the hallway. I freeze and duck. Why the hell am I ducking? I will definitely never be a criminal mastermind I think to myself as I pull myself up. I finish the staircase with no more incidents and head to the front door. The pack house is strange at night. Eerily quiet apart from the sounds of my trainers on the marble floor. Little squeaks bounce around me and I make a mental note to put
Novas shift takes awhile. Much longer than a wolf her age should take. I feel bad for her and wish there was something I could do to help her but unfortunately she needs to keep shifting to get over the worst of it. Lucifer waits patiently for her shift to finish and I sit in the back of control maybe one day they will be able to work together like we do I muse “no one works as well as we do” Lucifer answers. I shrug. When Novas shift is finished I stare on in shock. She’s golden like a retriever kind of but she looks stunning in the moon light. Nala stands up and howls at the moon. I can feel the vibrations of happiness coming off her in waves. “Not surprising”Lucifer growls “she’s barely allowed to shift”. She darts off into the forest and Lucifer trots to her side. We will let her stretch and explore before the training starts. “Agreed” Lucifer reply’s easily keeping up with her. She hits the lake and stops taking time to cool down and lap up the water. Lucife
I stretch in bed and risk a glance at the alarm clock. 8.48am. By the time we got back to the pack house it was just after 4am. I snuggle into my pillow for a moment and wonder if I could get away with a few more hours of sleep. My body aches all over like someone has run me over and reversed just to make sure they got me good. Training was brutal, I’ve never trained in wolf form so I didn’t know what to expect. Now I know it’s actually torture. A quick probe of my mind finds Nala sound asleep. At least one of us gets a lay in. I gather my will power and heave myself out of bed. Big mistake. My leg muscles are like jelly and I struggle to hold my own weight. I head towards my bathroom hoping a long hot shower will help with the muscle pain. As I step under the shower stream my mind strays back to the rogue I caught in London before I left. Is there more like him out there ? I was glad to be right about him being different but that also runs the risk of there being mo
