Nova POV

Driving at a break neck speed Luca gets us to the western boarder in a record time of 3 minutes we jump out the jeep so see wolves fighting up ahead. There’s blood all over the ground as more and more wolves cross the boarder in to Moon Lake territory. Luca swears before shifting. The sounds of bones cracking and breaking to rearrange burns in my ears as he shifts right next to me.

His tanned skin replaced with grey fur as his face morphs and a long snout grows out. When his shift is over he stands almost as tall on all fours as he does in his human form. With a quick glance at me he shoots off grabbing the nearest intruder by its neck and ramming it into the ground. I pull my magic to the fore front when the sound of crying catches my attention. I follow the sound to a nearby tree where when of the pack kids is stuck in the tree hiding. An intruder is yapping at him from the base and growling trying to maul at the kid. We don’t get our wolves until 13 this child could be any older than 7.

Anger swells through me as I look at the boy crying and trying to climb higher to safety. The wolf doesn’t care that he’s a child and is determined to get the kid. I throw my hands out and gold tendrils swirl forwards wrapping around the wolf. The wolf growls and snaps his head round to look at me but he can’t pounce like he wants to. I tighten to pull on the tendrils and snatch him back with a force that crashes him against another tree.

His body hits the tree with a jolt that splinters the trunk but doesn’t break it. He falls with a thud and lays motionless on the floor. I look up at the boy trying to work out if it’s safer to leave him up there until the invading wolfs are dealt with or get him down and try to hide him some where. To my left Lucas wolf is tearing an invading wolf to shreds. A huge black wolf approaches him from behind. This wolf is even bigger than Luca. I prepare to zap him away when the black wolf leaps over Luca and attacks another wolf who was getting ready to pounce. Recognition rings in my head.

That’s Matt. I turn back to the boy when I’m knocked to the ground hard. I turn my head to see Matts wolf on top of me but he’s not attacking. If I didn’t know better I’d say he’s shielding me. I glance round to the direction he’s facing and spot a wolf snarling as he stalks towards us. Son of a bitch he really doesn’t believe I can defend myself. I try to wiggle out from under him which earns me a growl as he beds down lower his hind legs on either side of my torso and his heckles are up. The wolf pounces on us and rips Matt off me.

They flow over the top of my head and a claw catches my cheek. I hiss as it breaks my skin and scramble to my feet I run towards them as they circle each other. Each one waiting for the other to strike. The invading wolf lunges to strike Matt. My sparkler hands take aim and I knock him out of the sky. His wolf whimpers as he hits the floor. Matts wolf looks at me and tilts his head to the side. The best acknowledgment I could hope for from this cold fish I guess. I turn my back and make my way back to the boy in the tree only when I get there he’s surrounded by invader wolfs. He cry’s out to me for help and I feel the rage crackling beneath my skin. I kneel down and place my hands on the grass.

I focus on the invader wolfs surrounding the tree and unleash. The magic swirls and ripples along the grass ensnaring each invade wolf that crosses its path. Load cracks sound out as wolfs are caught in my trap howls of pain ring out as the air turns to smoke. When the smoke clears there are now 6 wolf statues surrounding the tree. The little boy looks down at me scared. He’s not scared of the wolfs anymore, he’s scared of me. “It’s ok” I tell him “ I promise I won’t hurt you”.

He looks at me wide eyed “but you turned them into stone” I mean he’s got me there can’t really argue with facts. “Yes but they were bad wolves”. After a moment he seems to agree and climbs down. He reaches his hand out and I take it and pull him behind me to shield him. As I look around the attack is dying down. Any surviving wolves have fled. Luca and Matt are the first to shift back. If we hadn’t of just been attacked the site of these 2 naked would of fuelled many a wet dream for me. Luca comes running over to us “Teddy are you ok?” Ahhh the little boys name is Teddy , I probably should of asked this earlier. “Yes , the lady turned the bad wolves to stone and saved me” he says with a shaker voice.

Luca looks over the 6 new garden features the pack has gained and gives me a smirk “shit Nova that’s pretty cool” while admiring my handy work. Matt approaches us. I can’t read his facial expression but he looks mad and ..... worried maybe ? “Next time I’m on top don’t try to wiggle out” he says. The pervert in me couldn’t take it seriously as my cheeks heat. “Did you ever think that maybe I like to be on top” I blurt out before stopping myself. Aww damn relax Nova you know that’s not what he meant. His eyes snap to me and for a second I could swear I had seen longing ? Attraction ? As quickly as the look was there if passed. Now he’s back to all business Alpha.

He looks at the remaining stone wolves and whistles. “Maybe you will be useful in a war after all” “oooo high praise your majesty” Luca calls out. As I turn to head back towards the jeep Matts hand snakes out and grabs my wrist. I look up at him and that’s when I feel it. Tingles running all down my body. My heart rate spikes and my breathing slows. “I guess there’s something I should tell you” he mumbles. “What?” I gasp resisting the urge to climb him like a ladder and wrap my legs around his waist. “I’m not sure how or why, but you are my mate” “Matt are you coming?” Luca calls. And just like that he stalks off leaving me here horny and confused. Well fuck.
