Nova’s pov

I knew that voice from anywhere, I did not have to turn to know who it was.

I took my luxury time before turning towards him with a smirk on my lips.

“What was he thinking of himself?” I scoffed amusingly.

Hayden would not cease to amaze me, what stunt was he pulling this time?

I stared at his eyes full of jealousy, his veins were popping in annoyance. I noticed his clench fist and stance, he was ready to pounce on Marcel.

The whole room eyes were on us. Good, it was difficult for any drama to pass me by. There was nothing like an anonymous day for me.

I saw Mason walk towards me with the corner of my eyes.

I could see the eager look on everyone’s faces, they wanted to hear what I had to say.

This people were all nosy, they always wanted to be in other’s business. It made my job easier because it was easy to get information from them.

Information spreads like wildfire here.

Honestly, I was tongue-tied. The dark look on his face, he looked disheveled but at the sam

    Hayden’s pov I pulled abruptly away from her. Nova glared at me in an accusing manner. What the heck? Was she blaming me for what had happened?I ruffled my hair, hissing loudly. I was not supposed to be with her, fuck this stupid mate bond. My feelings for her were stronger than I thought. My wolf sneered, craving for her presence but my head was giving me another signal. The signal was that I was not supposed to be anywhere near Nova. I needed to avoid her at all costs, she was a danger to me. “Good evening, the great commander of death. Don't you want to join us?” a voice disrupted my thoughts. One look from me sent the person running away. I noticed Nova wanted to laugh but kept a straight face. “I should not be reacting this way,” I told myself, trying to convince myself. The position where I met her and Marcel got me so enraged if only she knew. I could have snapped Marcel into two, breaking his bones like a squirrel. “Nova was my mate! Even if she wanted to settle fo

    Nova’s povI watched as Hayden groaned in pain, hissing loudly. At first, I thought he was only feigning pain but I noticed his eyes watering. “Do not move close to me! Don't ever come to me again.” Hayden spat out, his eyes bloodshot. I glared at him, amused by his words. “How dare you utter such a statement! Were you not the one that forced me here? You brought me here against my permission and now you make it seem like you are here against your will!” I told him, glaring at him. What was he getting at? “Whatever dirty plan you have would not work! Jerk!” I shrieked. “Move away from me! Just get out!” Hayden growled, stepping away from me. He kept creating distance between us till his back hit the wall. “Stop this act! You think I would believe you. What will happen if I come close anyway.” I taunted, moving towards him. I took several steps and the fear in Hayden’s eyes only increased. “Stay away! Stay back!” Hayden said, his hands stretched forward to stop me. I stare

    Nova’s pov The bed was comfortable. I hummed satisfactorily because it had been long since I enjoyed my sleep this way, the night was beautiful. My eyes fluttered open and I took in the surroundings. “Shit!” I muttered, realizing what had happened. “How the hell did I fall for Hayden’s plan.” I thought, scolding myself. Yesterday, I had no choice but to lay beside him with the intention of slipping away. Hayden‘s hand was holding me firmly, no matter how I wriggled he was not letting me go. “I just committed a blunder,” I whispered still not happy about what had happened. Suddenly, I heard commotions. Agreement and throwing of fists just outside our door. I hated how this was going, could there not be a day without something weird happening? I could not deny that I enjoyed the night, it had been sleepful and nightmare-free. I snapped out of my daze when I heard my name, ready to jump out and find out what the noise was about. “Nova, are you okay? Are you in there?” I hea

    Nova's POVI held my breath as he pulled away; his eyes, I could feel, roaming over my body hungrily. I ran my eyes over his huge muscles, his golden skin, then to his powerful thighs. My eyes were fixed on that I could not stop staring.My wolf yipped in delight. Suppressing my wolf when I was this close to him was becoming more difficult. I tried controlling my wolf. I licked my fangs trying to calm myself."You should quit now," He murmured, I turned to him with stink-eye. I wasn't sure I heard that. Or I did and I didn't want to admit hearing that. Why would he suddenly ask me to quit?If I wasn't dazed then I was thunderstruck. He said that so easily that it pissed me off as my eyes were fixed on his brown eyes. I needed to hear him say that once again."What did you say?" I narrowed my eyes."You should return to your pack early before you regret all this," His voice was calm but that pissed me off more. Regret, he said. What I regret the most was not starting before now; I ha

    Nova's Pov"You're back, Alpha Frost," Mason mind linked me. I perceived his scent, he was close. I could tell."Yes," I answered before walking back to where I sat earlier. In search of Alpha Marcel his seat was empty, he left. I scoffed remembering how Hayden had taken me away. He had stopped me from getting the vital thing I needed."Were you able to find anything?" My jaw clenched in anger. At the thought of what happened at the wood.Mason's scent became stronger, he was close. He appeared just close to where I stood, standing right beside me. I faced him, he looked worried, he was worried I took that long.I never expected that either. I had spent minutes listening to Hayden's plea to leave. I had gone ahead of myself thinking I would get a clue from him."Were you able to find anything?" I glanced at him.I believed Fenrir's words when he told me Hayden would tell me the truth. How could I have expected something from him? He was never going to be of help.How could I expect h

    Nova's POVI couldn't stop thinking about what happened as I headed back to join the festival. The dancers were no longer there. The flautist played his flute.I paused on seeing Alpha Ragnar already at the festival, each one on their seat along with their subordinates who sat beside them. The priestess was also there.I walked over to the table, I glanced at Alpha Ragnar. His eyes were glued on the flautist. I sighed before turning to the priestess, The priestess rose from her seat, her golden hair shone in the light. I looked up to see her staring at me, she looked away sharply like she was caught.That was suspicious, I ignored taking my seat. I looked around and my eyes settled on Marcel. He was also looking my way, I scoffed."I'm glad you all are here," The priestess announced, getting everyone's attention. She was now standing on the stage. "I welcome you all to this Alpha's feast," Alpha's feast. That was the feast where Alpha's are honoured for their leadership and wisdom.

    Nova's POV"You can't do that," Mason said through the mindlinks. I paused, my fangs were just a few inches away from his neck, my eyes darkened and all I wanted was to end it. "You must really stop this, Alpha," He added when I didn't move away.I closed my eyes tightly clenching my jaw, I felt my wolf roar in anger as I moved away from him.He was right, I shouldn't allow him to ruin my plan. A quick glance at Alpha Ragnar back at Mason. He was staring at me, I stood walking away and he followed.I paced around the room trying to calm my wolf. Marcel was really getting on my nerves. I should have taught him some lessons.My skin itches, stretching as little furs began to grow on my skin, Marcel walked in and I closed my eyes, keeping calm."You should try to control yourself, you could have hurt him there, what were you thinking?" He asked through the mindlink.I shot him a glare rushing over to him. "Are you saying I wasn't thinking?" I stopped half way. Keep calm Nova.He noticed

    Nova's POVHe arched his brow while I walked closer to him."What happened seven years ago?" I asked, covering the distance between us. He knew about what happened to his friend. He cleared his throat looking away. "I was talking to myself, pretend you ever heard that," He said. He glanced at me before walking away.What? Pretend?He was leaving. He wanted me to pretend ever hearing that? I couldn't. I heard that clearly that I couldn't ignore. How could I ignore the reason I was here? I wanted to know, I should stop him."Can you-" I was walking over to him when I paused, I noticed someone stopped in front of him. Alpha Caden nodded when he saw him.He was quite young, he bowed slightly before speaking. "You're here Alpha," He was his subordinate. I watched as they stood there for a moment before finally walking away.I would have stopped them but I paused. He was with someone, asking him questions about what happened seven years ago will only raise suspicion. I could only watch th

    Nova's POVTavern.I couldn't get that word off my mind as I walked back to the Groove. I wondered what the fate of the Alphas were.Did they have an enemy no one knew about? Who could be after their life?The attacker had sent them all a warning, he made sure to hide his identity so no one could find out who he was. He didn't attack just one person anymore, he made his attack at every one of them, which made it impossible for anyone to figure out who exactly was next."Are you on your way, Alpha?" Mason mind-linked me."Yes, I'll be there soon," I told him. "Is anything wrong?" I added it through the mind link."No, Alpha," He responded sharply, that sounded a bit suspicious but I ignored it."Okay," I mind-linked him, walking to the moonlight Groove gate.I heard an arrow firing toward me and stepped back immediately, watching the arrow land right in front of me, I looked around to check where the shooter was but he was gone.I walked to where the arrow was, it was similar to what

But who was next after Bean Fangworth?"Welcome back," Mason said through the mind link as I walked back to our suite. "I didn't know when you-""I need to meet the spies," I interrupted him through the mind link knowing what he wanted to say. "I want a meeting with them,""Now?" He asked confused."Yes," I answered, he nodded. "Someone is after the Alphas?" I told him. He needed to know my reason for calling for such unannounced meeting."What?" He asked with wide eyes."We need to take closer watch on the Alphas, I need reports about them before the end of today," I said."I will let them know," He said making to leave."No," I mind-linked him and he stopped. "I want to meet them personally," I added, he faced me."But you can't just leave the castle," He said through the mind-link."Leave that in my care, you should stay back and watch the Alphas in the Groove while I meet with the s

    Nova's PovI smiled recalling the memory of what happened at the bathtub earlier. I sneaked out of the room after he slept.Though I doubted he did."Greetings," The guards at his door greeted me as I stepped out of his room. I ignored them walking out of his suite.I was a bit away from his suite when I noticed Alpha Ragnar and Alpha Grim at a distance, seemed the festival was over. They whispered words in each other's ears before walking away.They walked hurriedly towards a direction in the Groove.Where were they heading in such haste?I glanced to see no one was close, so I decided to trail them. I needed to know whatever they were up to.They were so engrossed in their discussion that they didn't notice I was tailing them. I walked behind them until they got to a secluded part of the groove. It was unfamiliar, I doubted I had ever been there.It seemed like an abandoned part, I couldn't perceive any other wolf around.They walked deeper part to that area, I followed them cautiou

    Nova's POVI closed my eyes as he pulled me closer to himself, I didn't struggle with him as I slid my lips into his mouth craving for more. I rolled my tongue in his, as I played along letting him have it to his content.Good heavens! I wanted more.I leaned deeper, having a full taste of him, his tongue on mine felt deeper than earlier, he tasted like I hadn't had a taste of him before. He tasted sweeter each time making my wolf howl in need."Beautiful," Someone screamed and we both pulled away from the kiss facing them again, we smiled at them."Why don't you play them a song? You should dance," The anchor said. "Don't you think so?" He asked the audience."Yes," Everyone chorused.The slow music played and the workers at the Groove screamed in excitement, their screams doubled when Hayden took my hand for a dance.I faced him properly, watching as he smiled. I smiled too staring into his brown eyes, he lifted our intertwined hands pulling me closer to himself with his left hand w

    Nova's POV"Mason," I called authoritatively through the mind link, he stopped mid-way. "You won't like to create a scene here, would you?"He stepped back a little, he glanced at Hayden before facing me again. "Shouldn't we leave together?" He asked."You know that isn't right?" I answered using the mind link. "You should leave first, I'll come after,"He stared at me for long before walking away. I stared back at Hayden who was still seated. He wasn't ready to leave?Why then would he stop Mason from leaving with me if he knew he wasn't ready to leave?"I want to leave now," I said and he nodded.He stood immediately offering me his hand, I stared at his hand not moving. I recalled Fenrir's words as I stared at him, I looked up from his hand to see him smiling at me.Was I doing the right thing?"Come with me," He said when I didn't move.I took his hands as we both walked out of the party, we walked into my suite quietly without uttering a word to each other. We could have separate

    Nova's POV"Are you heading back?" Alpha Fenrir asked as I made my way back to the party hall. I turned back to see him also walking towards my way.He had also left the party. Most of the Alphas excused themselves after the storytelling, I had left Hayden, Mason and two other Alphas on their seat before excusing myself."Yes, Alpha," I answered bowing my head.I had left the party earlier because I needed to be alone for a moment, I wanted some time for myself alone. To think about everything that was happening, from Hayden and I to my idea of the story the lady told us. Above every other thing, all I couldn't stop thinking about was my moment with Hayden.He was an enemy but I felt good being with him, I didn't want it to end soon. I wished he wasn't involved in whatever happened that night, that way we would both be good after it all ended."I was heading back too," He said, stopping in front of me and I nodded. "We can go now,""Sure," I said, waiting for him to lead the way but h

I wrapped my hands around his neck wanting to feel him more, my wolf yip excitement enjoying the moment. This was meant to be a phony but strangely, I didn't want it to stop. I wanted more.But he pulled away slowly from the kiss, he stood staring at me with a smile playing on his lips.The clapping increased as we disengaged, Hayden took my hands in his as we faced them. They were all smiling as they watched us, I didn't care whether it was fake or not, as long as they would play along I was pleased our plan worked.I looked around until I met eyes with Mason, who was also staring my way.

    Nova's POV"What!" I exclaimed."That is the only way out," Hayden mumbled, he didn't see anything wrong with that. Though he was right about us being mates and it seemed like a perfect lie still I didn't feel good about it."What if they find out that was a lie?" I asked, he walked closer to me stopping just an inch away from me, I held my breath staring at his cold brown eyes."Then you have to play it so well that no one finds out," He said, his eyes burning holes into my skin searchingly. "Remember we are in this together," He said, stepping away and I tried to breathe evenly.He stared at me before looking away, he was right. We were both in this and I wouldn't like being suspected for something I knew nothing of, if that would clear the misunderstanding, I was ready to play along."I'm sure you hate that type of attention too," He mumbled and I hived a sigh."Fine then," I said. "Let's do this, to clear the misunderstanding," "Right choice," He smiled faintly. "We will announce
