His Wolfsbane 40
Nova's POVIt was dark.I took my cloak, stepping out of the suite, in search of Mason. He should be close, I assumed. It's been hours since he went after Alpha Grim, he hadn't returned since then, he wasn't communicating through the mind links either.I tried perceiving him but I couldn't, he wasn't close. He wasn't back in the groove. If he wasn't back then where could he be? Was he safe? "Mason," I called through the mindlink but there was no response. Something was wrong, I needed to find out immediately.Alpha Grim, I sensed. I should find out if he had returned to the groove first, that was the way to know if he had anything to do with Mason's sudden disappearance. I walked hastily down the hallway heading to his suite."Are you hurrying somewhere?" I paused seeing the priestess walk over to me. What was she doing here?I could remember her smiling the last time Mason left, she had smiled before dismissing. She was back again for what reason, could she know where Mason was?She

Nova's POV"You were there?" I asked.She knew. She had watched the eleven being massacred yet she did nothing even as a priestess?"I was there, I witnessed it," She spoke softly. She was a witness.I walked over to her covering the distance between us. "You knew they were killed and you did nothing? Who killed them, tell me who killed the Alphas?" I bellowed in a powerful voice. My wolf roared in anger."I have no idea either," Her voice sounded loud, it echoed in my ear. I looked at her dazed, what did she mean by she had no idea.Didn't she say she witnessed it? She was there, how could she suddenly have no idea."Is that meant to be a joke?" I was puzzled. We were a few inches away, I could see her misty eyes, that look pissed me even more."Definitely not," She said, staring into my eyes, she looked serious. Too damn serious."Then what do you mean by you have no idea?" I spat angrily. "You just said you witnessed it, what do you suddenly mean by you have no idea?" She was a pr

Nova's POVI stopped walking when I was fully away from the priestess, I couldn't allow her to notice what was wrong."Mason," I called through the mindlink once again. I waited anxiously for his response and he did."Alpha," He answered, I sighed in relief. "What happened? Where are you?" I asked in a breath when he went mute again. I couldn't perceive his scent, he wasn't close. Did Alpha Grim hurt him?"I've been captured," He said.I knew it!"Can you tell me where you are?" He was quiet once again and that made me more worried. "You don't know?" I screamed impatiently in my mental voice."It's an iron room, it's surrounded by his wolves," He answered, I flicked my eyes worriedly trying to process that."Alpha Grim's hideout!" I exclaimed."Yes, that's it." He answered. I looked around trying to sense anyone's presence but no one was close. I sped to my room picking my cloak."Hold Mason, I'll be there soon." I mindlinked him.It was midnight already, I walked through the castle

Nova's POV"I apologize if I made you uncomfortable, I had followed you because I wanted to seek your advice," Mason replied."Concerning what exactly?" Alpha Grim asked again."Since the award at the Alpha's feast, I had been looking forward to gaining more from you. I wanted to learn more from the best Alpha of the year," Mason replied and the Alphas under the influence of my essence hummed and nodded. "Perfectly said," I mindlinked Mason.I raised my head and my eyes settled on Priestess Elena. Her Pair of eyes remained alert as usual. She stared right at me and smiled."You should have asked me directly instead," Alpha Grim jokes. My lips curved in a tiny smile."I doubted you would have agreed to do that, I'm relieved to know you will love to guide me," Mason teased."You can come to me anytime son," He answered sweetly. "I apologize for calling you all here over such a light-hearted discussion,""It's fine," Alpha Caden spoke. The other Alphas nodded in agreement. "It's good y

Nova's POV"Nothing," I answered, still staring at him. He had his face scrunched up trying to figure out what I meant. "Absolutely nothing, Mason.""How-""Don't even think about convincing me Mason," I interrupted his mind link. " I won't consider it and you shouldn't try to act funny either," I said, giving him a dead stare."I won't," He bowed his head. He remained that way until I spoke."You should go change your cloak, we have a long day ahead," I said and he nodded before stepping away. "Observe everyone during the gathering, I want every piece of information,""Understood," He replied walking out of the room.I let out a sigh as I roamed my eyes around. I couldn't stop thinking about his question.Maybe he was right.The pack performance started very early that morning. All Alpha's except Hayden were present, he had not returned since he left. A lavish spread of traditional dishes from different local specialties was served to the Alphas and their subordinates. Liquors were

Nova's POV"Gem," I muttered confused.What gem was he talking about? Was there also a gem? Was it related to what happened that night?"He was wounded while trying to keep his gemstone, I'm sure they all had a hand in-""Hey kid," Alpha Grim interrupted, hitting Marcel's head playfully. "What kind of rubbish are you saying?" He asked. He stood in between us.Alpha Marcel rubbed his head, he glared at him before speaking. "What do you mean I was-""What good words can a drunkard say?" He laughed dryly trying to place his hand across his shoulder.Marcel tried stepping away from him but instead, he pulled her closer.Alpha Grim faced me before speaking. "You should just ignore him," He said." I know what I'm saying," Marcel tried to explain but he pulled him closer, almost choking him. His hand remained on his shoulder as he took him away.That was suspicious. Too suspicious to be ignored.I wondered why he took him away. Why would he suddenly stop him from talking?Though Marcel seem

Nova's POV"Stop right there!"I paused when one of the guards at the Moonlight Groove gate stopped me. They had been too busy talking to notice when I walked past them. I had almost walked past them when he noticed me.I turned to face them."Where are you going this early?" One of them asked."Do I have to explain that to the guards too?" I asked, trying not to raise my voice.They gasped before the three exchanged glances. I stared at them blankly, unmoved.The one who asked a question earlier walked Kore closer to me before speaking. "I'm afraid you may not be able to leave if you don't tell us where you're going and who sent you, I won't even mind your pretty face," He said flirtatiously.Seriously? I scoffed inwardly watching him."I wasn't sent on an errand by my lord," I said, licking my fangs as they protruded. "It's an errand that needs to be carried out urgently if you permit me to leave quickly."Dealing with them would be quite easy but it was better to leave properly wi

Nova's POVShe took a step back in shock. I stood there staring right at her and she blinked her eyes severally.I could feel her eyes roam over my body, I scoffed watching her shocked expression."Did you lose your track? Because I've never heard neither have I seen a thief invading a palace early in the morning. Did you sleep off forgetting you had an assignment?" That word came back to bite me, I knew the word was for me too. I had rushed here that early because I wanted to find the truth.I ignored that, narrowing my eyes at the lady before me. From her look, I could tell she was a kid, maybe not too young.She was dressed in complete black, what was I expecting from a spy like her? She had a black mask covering her nose down to her neck. Her long blonde and silk-like hair was packed in a ponytail, and her piercing bright ocean-blue eyes which were barely revealing itself, roamed all over me. She let out a scoff before speaking. "What are you doing here too?" She demanded.I sco

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

Nova's POVThere is someone after them.They knew that also but they had no idea who was behind it. 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
His Wolfsbane 83
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
His Wolfsbane 81
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

Nova's POVPlay along, that was the rule.I had to play it well in such a way that no one would find out it was planned. He pulled me closer claiming my lips, our lips met in a soft, sweet caress.His soft lips took mine and I closed my eyes enjoying the moment."Beautiful," I heard priestess Elena said.It worked.I smiled into the kiss, slowly lifting my hands. 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. He wasn't smiling, he stared express

Hayden's POV"She is my mate, my Luna, my companion and my supporter. I can rely upon her and all power I hold as the Alpha of Storm pack is equally has," I said facing Nova, She smiled and I continued my declaration. "She will be my strength and together we will build a strong pack, and I expect your respect and acknowledgment,"All mouths opened in awe as I made my declaration, they turned to Nova requesting her response."Will you come forward to the " I gestured at Nova, and she looked around taking a step to come forward.Mason stood abruptly wanting to stop her but he paused, Nova walked to the stage to join me."Does Marcel have something to say?" Grim asked Mason.Nova stopped, facing him.Grim's question caused everyone present there to notice Mason, they all turned to him requesting his response."Oh," He muttered blinking his severally, he stared at Nova and then at me. "I want to let you know that this is true," He stammered.He truly was a pup, he never failed to act like
His Wolfsbane 78
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
