Hayden’s povI did not know how I managed to walk out of her sight. I could barely see her as I wriggled in pain.I did not know what to say or think, I had been fooled!I, the commander of death!Was I that stupid, how did I not notice that she was my mate? All these while, my past was back to haunt me.My head was banging hard, but I managed to walk away not knowing my destination. I just needed to be far away from her.I felt stupid, I had been ogling after my mate that I rejected years ago and I did not even know.No wonder, I could not understand why my wolf was attracted to her. The way it got excited whenever she was close by, I had ignored all those signs.When I rejected her, I thought I had broken all connections with her. That was the reason why I could not recognize that she was still my mate but I still had immense feelings for her.My life had suddenly turned sideways, I knew sh

Nova’s pov I was angry for several reasons as I watched my supposed mate walk away from me. I was angry that after all these years he still did not want to have anything to do with me. I was angry that he never made any effort to search for me after all these years and now that I took the first step he was still going to discard me. I was angry that I was allowing my father’s murderer to walk away from me when I had the chance to kill him. I was angry that I still felt something for this man despite all the pain he was causing me!Why?!Why do things like this happen to people? Why could this stupid feeling not just end, I wanted to rush towards him and kill him for good. The way he had looked at me when he pinned me on the tree, there was anger and resentment in his eyes. He did not even want to see me, I was his mate for goddess sake!This yearning, burn, craving whatever name you want to call it, was he not feeling it also?Was I the only one at the receiving end?Was there

Mason’s povI was alert mainly because I was worried for Nova. She had changed since we walked into this grounds, I understood her fear but she had to let me in. This was not how things used to be with us. Now she seemed more scary. There was just something about her that was off. It was quite different from the Nova I knew. The Nova I knew usually laughed heartily, not a sly smile. I hated how Hayden still affected her, he was controlling her. Our earlier conversation still played in my mind. Maybe she had rejected me now but I was still going to make her mine. No one deserves Nove except myself, I stayed with her all through her broken phase. Hayden was the cause of her breakdown. He had caused her so much pain that he did not even deserve to be with her. He killed her father and rejected her. That man was heartless. I will protect her from that beast, he never loved her despite her being his mate. I tried talking her out of following him but she did not listen. Her emotion

Mason’s povI kept lurking around, following Elena. She walked towards the building and started climbing the stairs. I was finding it hard to keep up with her, as I followed her I kept wondering where she was heading to. Elena had this aura around her that made me suspicious. Everything about her was just confusing. It was hard for someone to know what she truly felt. I always find her to be very sneaky and that was why I had this dislike towards her. She had this personality that did not feel real. The way she always laughs like she truly did not mean it. I knew she was deceptive, she was quick to catch on people's feelings and that was why I was wary of her. As it is, she knows Nova is the true Alpha and not myself. Besides that, she was nice and friendly. The way she looked very shocked when the messenger reported to her. My mind told me whatever was going on was something that involved us. Nova has a mission and she is seriously working on it. I was not shocked anyway, H

Nova’s pov I felt safe in Mason’s arms. He was the brother I always craved for, everything about him was comforting. I felt bad for snapping at him earlier, I should not have done that. Goddess help me. I was not in control of my emotions anymore, since we got here everything had turned different. Everyone walking in this vicinity was crazy, we were all just pretending like everything was fine! Hell, nothing was fine. I felt pity for my father. Such a calm soul, yet he had to endure these crazy people every year. After my revenge, I would never step foot into this place again. I don’t care about any annual festival, it was all pretense and disguise for all sorts of plots. He was only helping me and was even trying his best. When I looked at him, I wanted to apologize but he nodded his head to tell me not to bother. After staying for a while, I decided to address the reason why we were here. The day of the battle was drawing closer, I refused to allow what had happened today t

Hayden's POV "Nova," It was supposed to sound like a warning. She shouldn't be in here. And she should not have seen Elena dammit. The whole point of seven years ago was to make sure this never happened. And yet it was. In ways I never expected. In ways that had me mesmerized. The rope holding up Nova's dress gives out and the soft fabric slides down delectable body, revealing a set of breasts that I had seen before. Beautiful perky ones that haunted my dreams. Now I knew why I yearned for her like a fool. She was my mate. Nova. Nova Frost. Knowing did not make the yearning any better. It only rubbed in my face the fact that I could have her years ago; I could have tasted her, be drunk on her. And now as penance, she tormented me. When I tore my gaze from her breasts to her face, she had a smirk playing on her lips. "Like what you see, commander of death?" "Nova, you need to leave," Especially when the only barrier between her naked body and my mad desire

Chapter 25Hayden’s pov I pushed her away abruptly, regaining my consciousness. There was something that she did to me, I could not explain it. She had the power to control me. Her body was affected by reasoning. We should not be doing this. “Leave me the fuck alone! I told you several times to leave me, none of this would work on me.” I thundered angrily. Could she not just get it? She already left seven years ago so why was she back now? Was what her aim?I was not going to condone this! I need her to stay far away from my life! Why was she not comprehending me? I was doing this for her sake. I was trying to protect her but her stubborn self was not seeing my sacrifice. I could barely control myself around her, I wanted her too.I used my hands to comb my hair frustratedly. Why was I feeling this way? My wolf was screaming at me to hold her, feel her but I could not do that. Nova remained rooted to her spot throwing glares at me. “Fuck! When did you get this stubborn? Leave

Chapter 26Nova’s povI stayed rooted to my spot still shocked by Hayden’s reaction. Did he loathe me this much? Was I displeasing to look at?These were the questions in my mind, the spot that he gripped tightly ached. “Do we need to escort you?” the guards asked. I was angry and frustrated. I felt like killing all the guards and going into murder Hayden himself!He threw me out of his room and allowed his silly mistress in his room. He could allow Elena but not me?That wench!Or was he not feeling the mate bond? Maybe I was the only one at the receiving end. He cannot be feeling the mate bond and yet still treats me like trash. He was fine with me days ago till I told him that I was his mate. I suddenly turned trash to him. Tears threatened to spill but I refrained myself as I walked away. I walked to a spot and whistled like I always do. We had signs, this would avoid our secret being exposed. I was very sure that no one would find out about us, I made sure of that. A few mom

Chapter 27Hayden’s pov The cold air gushed on my fur as I hissed in pain. Some of my injuries were taking longer to heal, so I raced towards the stream furiously. The day had been exhausting, from one problem to another. I needed time alone, I had to stop going to the festival. It was getting annoying annually. Maybe we should cancel it, there was no love amongst us so what was the pretense for? I was done with the pretense! All of this had to stop!After the episode with my wolf, I still had to let him out to clear my thoughts. I had to find a cure for my problems, it was getting unbearable. Every time it happens, I find it harder to control myself from going on a killing spree. I did not want to be that guy anymore.The air around me suddenly stilled making me more furious. These days, it was hard for me to just leave my house peacefully, there were always people waiting to kill me. They are mistaken, I cannot be killed! I am the commander of death, it has to be the oppo

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
His Wolfsbane 85
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
His Wolfsbane 82
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
