Nova's POV

"Halt! Who are you?!"

I peeked out of the window. The gates of Moonlight Grove stood ahead of my caravan. Behind us were several other Caravans from other packs. Two guards were staring up at her with fierce gazes.

A hand squeezed mine and I glanced up to see Mason, my Beta, walk towards the door of the carriage.

"Who are you?!"

"I am Mason, Alpha of the Snowcap pack." He told the guards.

Gasps exploded around us and I smirked. Good. Just the reaction I was expecting.

"S-Snowcap?" The guard stuttered.

"Impossible!" His fellow guard said. "Weren't they wiped out years ago?"

My jaw clenched and I felt my wolf roar in anger.

Quiet down Frost.

"As you can see, we are alive," Mason said, keeping his voice monotone. "And here for the Howl Gathering festival."

The murmurs around us increased. The Snowcap pack had gone into extinction seven years ago. At least that was what everyone thought had happened.

Well, they weren't extinct. We were back. I was back. And I would do anything to make sure every single one of them paid!

Especially HIM.

The guards allowed us to pass and Mason slid back into the Caravan, sitting by my side.

"Well we made it past the guards,* He chuckled and swiped his blonde hair to the back. His blue eyes held mine and he smiled nervously. "Are you sure about this Nova?"

I gave him a dead stare. "I spent seven years planning for this day, Mason. I didn't spend all those years hiding only to be unsure now."

"Right, right," he nodded. "I didn't mean to call you unsure. Do you need vengeance though? We can always turn away, Nova. We have survived all these years without them and-"

I growled, cutting him off. My wolf pushed again in anger, wanting to seize control. Mason's head whipped low as he muttered.

"I apologize, Alpha Frost,"

"I will avenge my father, Mason," I said, licking my fangs as they protruded. "Hayden Storm will pay. Every single one of them will. Do not forget that."

"Yes, Alpha,"

Our caravan halted abruptly then and I sat upright. Were we at the castle already?! I didn't remember it being so close to the entrance-

"How dare you?!" Someone yelled outside. He sounded rather girly for a man. "You lowly peasant! You're going to ruin my carriage! Where is your Alpha?! He will pay for the damages."

I frowned, rising.

"Nova," Mason called behind me but I ignored him and pushed the carriage curtain aside to see who on earth was causing the commotion.

There right before a golden carriage that looked too extravagant to belong to someone as mediocre as the man before it.

He swiped at his blonde hair, his chubby face pushed in a pout.

"I demand to see your Alpha at once!" He yelled like a child crying for attention.

"Who is that?* Mason asked, stepping beside me.

"Marcel Fangworth. Son to the Alpha of Fangworth. Good to see he looks and acts just like the brat he was." I replied, taking in the scenery before me. Moonlight groove hadn't changed much. And for some reason that infuriated me. How could everything look almost the same when I had spent the past seven years languishing in pain?

"You!" Marcel yelled pointing at Mason beside me. "You're the Alpha, aren't you?"

"What do you need Marcel?" Mason replied, squaring his shoulders beside me.

"An apology!" Marcel blubbered. "What pack is this?"

"Snowcap," Mason replied.

"Weren't you all extinct or something?"

"Please my lord," A man muttered to Marcel, possibly his flunkie. "We are causing a commotion."

"No!" Marcel yelled. "I will have an apology. They bumped into my cart. Her!" He pointed at me, eyes wide with greed. "The white whore with him. I want her."

Mason growled beside me, offended. I slid my arm around his and batted my lashes flirtatiously.

"Ah my lord, I am afraid I belong to Alpha Mason."

"Then I shall fight him for your hand!" Marcel yelled. "My soldiers against yours. You barely have a handful of soldiers, ending you will be swift. "

"Now, calm down my lord," I said breathlessly. "Surely a man of your stature can forgive a lowly pack like ours..." I trailed off, staring off into the distance.

That scent! Sandalwood and pines. That damned scent. I had it burned in my memory, never to be forgotten.

"Let's go," I mindlinked Mason.

"What about the duel?"

"Ignore Marcel, he'll throw a tantrum then forget about it the next minute. He's here. Hayden Storm is here. I can smell him."

    Nova's POV "The lower rooms?* Mason curled his lips in disgust when he retrieved the room plaque from the castle maid. The room plaque contained the list of rooms assigned to each pack. Considering our pack hadn't been expected to attend, they all thought we were dead anyway, there hadn't been any arrangement for us. "Relax Mason," I cautioned, then turned to the castle maid. "You may leave." "Why would they assign us those filthy rooms?! They ought to be punished. I'll talk to the priestess-" "You will not," I mindlinked him. I couldn't exactly tell him that. The authority in my voice would be evident and everyone would know who I was. I could not have that happening. He sighed wistfully as we made our way to the wing assigned to us. "What's the plan, Alpha?" Mason asked when we had settled in the suite. I took off the blue-laced top I had worn. He reached for my bra hook and popped it open. I had dispersed the ten servants we came with. They were assigned as spies to

    Nova's POV I held my breath when he stopped just a few inches away, incredibly aware of every single part of him. His eyes, I could feel them burn holes into my skin, searchingly. He didn't know who I was. If I wasn't so stunned I could have laughed. Hayden Storm did not remember me. I had spent seven years hating a man who couldn't even remember me. Perhaps it was the change in hair color. The last time he had set eyes on me, it used to be a light brown color. But that wasn't enough. My heart twinged in pain at the thought of him not recognizing me. But it didn't matter. That would make my mission easier. "Forgive me, Alpha," I murmured, bowing my head. "I wanted to clear my head. I didn't know there would be anyone here." The man frowned, brown eyes narrowing in suspicion. "The castle has to be at least a mile away. Did you come this far to clear your head? Think again wench!" As he stepped closer, I tried to breathe evenly. I tried to ignore how smooth his muscles b

    Hayden's POVThe thing with power was that it made you drunk, over and over and then one day, it loses that kick and becomes useless. I had power. I was born with it flowing through my veins. My mother had labored for three days straight and then the pack doctor gave up trying and decided he'd rather poison her womb and get me out by force. Whatever he used hadn't been strong enough. I came out a healthy child with my mother's heart in my hands. The sickening part of it all was that I could remember it. I could remember staring up at the doctor's horrified face, clutching my mother's heart between my hands, crying my eyes out. And for years, that memory would haunt me every single time I closed my eyes. And then more haunting memories joined. "Alpha sir," The guards saluted when I approached my chambers. I had told Elena to give me the room farthest from everyone. She had propped me on the highest floor with a handful of guards I didn't need. I merely walked pas

    Nova's POV "You're back," Mason said when I stepped into our room. "He wasn't at the-" I cut him off with a pointed look before speaking through the mind link. "I know he wasn't at the gathering. I met him at the lake." "That's his scent on you," Mason curled his lips in disgust, walking over to help me take off my cloak. "He touched you, didn't he? You must be furious. I know how much you hate him." I hummed in response, trying to keep a neutral look on my face. He wasn't wrong, I hated Hayden Storm. But when I had touched him, oh. I licked my bottom lip, relishing the taste of him on my tongue. I could feel the smooth velvety skin on his cock against my palm, it was hard to think about hatred. He was such a fine specimen of a man and it would be such a shame to kill him. That wouldn't stop me. These seven days would not end unless I had a blade buried in his gut. Mason's harsh breathing reached my ears, leaving a warm trail on my skin. His hands skimmed my back, wanting

    Nova's POV "She remains with me," Mason spat in a rather impressive powerful voice. "This is serious business, son," An older Alpha, Alpha Caden commented. He didn't recognize me either, despite being a close friend of my father's. Other Alphas nodded in recognition. I counted and realized two Alphas were missing from the meeting. One of which was Hayden Storm. Where on earth was he? "You all came here with your subordinates," Mason argued. "I am free to choose whoever I want as my subordinate." "He's making a mockery of our tradition," Marcel yelled and I snickered. He glared at me. "She's mocking me!" "That is enough, Alpha Marcel," The priestess spoke up then, a smile on her face. "If Alpha Mason trusts his woman, then so should we all." The proud chump let out a huff, before raising his nose in the air. "Whatever. Can we start this meeting already? I haven't had breakfast yet and I am starving." "Of course," The priestess said sweetly. "How about we start with

    Chapter 7Nova’s PovI hadn't expected that he would show up. His commanding aura had a grip on me, and I could almost swear that I flinched at his cold gaze, but then I ignored him, looking unfazed by his sudden appearance, and then I walked into my chambers, but then he followed me into.I turned to look at him in surprise, and he followed me in.“Is your Alpha your true mate?” Hayden asked in a flat tone but looked curious.His curiosity made me interested in what he had to say.“Is that what you came here to ask, commander of death?” I asked, with a slight smile on my face.He had this look of displeasure on as he asked me about Mason and it was only evident that he disliked the fact that the answer to his question might be a yes.He probably feared that Mason owned me to the core and there would be nothing much he would be able to do about it.As much as I enjoyed his curiosity and would love to satisfy it to an extent, I wasn't ready to give him an answer to that.Bubbles of exc

    Chapter 8 Hayden’s povMy cock had been upright since she arrived here. For some reason, her presence alone made it react. Since we had met at the lake, my world had turned sideways. It had been ages since a person had stirred so much in me, hence my attraction towards her. It was not a pleasing attraction but more of a curious one. I wanted to know what was special about her that made me this alert whenever she was nearby. The image of her in the lake still replays in my head every time, she was endearing and that alone made me want to know more about her. She looked like she held power but the truth was she was powerless. She was just a doxy that would never matter to anyone. Her job remains to satisfy her master’s wants. I squeezed her butt softly but she pulled away again. Again! How dare she reject my advances! She is supposed to bow to the ground that I stand on! She is supposed to chase after me and not the other way around. How could the commander of chief chase a

    Chapter 9 Nova’s povThe walk to our room was longer than expected. One look at Mason and I knew he had a lot of questions for me but was keeping it to himself. He had met I and Hayden in such a compromising situation. Trust me, I did not want to be in such a position with that murderer but things had turned out different from what I expected. Despite my supposed hate for him, I still could not deny that I felt something for him. He was my mate, after all, the connection was still as strong as ever. I knew he was fighting it, I was also fighting it but it was not easy. We walked into the room, silence engulfing us. I could see how Mason was restless. He was tapping his foot, making nervous moves but could I blame him? The smell of his arousal had filled the room but I ignored it. I was not here for any of this. I came here with a clear mission, to take down those who killed my father. That was exactly what I was going to do, I was not going to leave any room for my pleasure.

    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

    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

    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

    Chapter 19Hayden’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

    Chapter 18Nova’s povThe sounds of birds outside created a soothing melody, a perfect backdrop for their intimate encounter. The room was bathed in warm, golden light, casting a sensual glow on their entwined figures.My hands traced the outlines of Hayden’s chest, my touch sending shivers down his spine. His eyes locked onto mine, burning with desire.The desire was clear in his eyes, it felt like I was the only woman on earth. The spotlight was on me and I loved it. This was how it was supposed to be as mates but things had turned sideways. My wolf was joyous, she was a whore. My wolf was screaming, been touched by her mate after all these years. I craved Hayden’s touch since we had gotten here and I was finally getting it. Trust me, it felt beautiful. The way he had dropped me softly on the mattress. "Your touch sets my soul on fire," He whispered, his breath caressing my skin.I was not going to take hi

    Chapter 17Hayden’s pov I had been sitting here for more than an hour, after my conversation with Alpha Fenrir that had turned sour he left. The air changed after he left, my anger was replaced with my unsatisfying hunger for Doxy. It was definitely unsatisfying. I do not think I would ever be satisfied with her body. It had been long since I had gone crazy for a girl this way. Since I had met my mate and even when I met my mate I was able to control it. I could not control how I felt for Doxy. It was unexplainable. Even my wolf was attracted to her. She was supposed to be here by now, it has been hours since our dance. I sipped on my wine, trying to control my raging wolf. If I had given my will a chance then he would have been searching frantically for her but I was not going to do that. I was still an Alpha, the commander of death. No woman would make me go crazy to such an extent. I just had to wait for her.

    Chapter 16Nova’s pov I had taken off my cloak and was heading back to the tavern. I could not hide my excitement, there were a lot of reasons for me to be happy. When all the things you have planned for the last seven years start falling into place then tell me if you would not be happy. I was more than happy, after all of this I would finally be happy. I would search for my happiness far away from all of these people. My conversation with my group earlier on still replayed in my mind, everything was going as planned. There were no interruptions of any sort. It was funny that no one had suspected a foul play. The truth was going to be out, I eoiod take my revenge. My father would finally be happy wherever he was. When my father had just been killed, I had countless nightmares. My father was somewhere, he roamed about unhappy. When I asked him what was wrong, he said he was unhappy. He was unhappy that his murderers were walking around happily, it was then that I vouched to g

    Chapter 15Hayden’s pov I paced around the room trying to calm my wolf. If it was left to my wolf, I would have carried her out of the ballroom. Our dance was so perfect. I had forgotten about the whole world as we danced together. It wasn't until we finished the dance that I remembered we had an audience. They could die for all I care. I forgot all about my worries. All the pain that I had to carry about, I forgot about everything. It was just too perfect. I honestly don't know how to explain how I felt for Doxy. No matter how much I tried not to think about her, she always clouded my head and mind since she got here a few days ago. Mason does not deserve her, he is not capable of satisfying her needs. He was far too meek for my liking, she on the other hand looked like someone who likes it wild. She fit into the description of the women I like, she was perfect for me. I would do anything to have her, or maybe after tonight, she would finally be away from my mind. All I knew

    Chapter 14Nova’s pov A figure stepped out of the shadows, its presence would never be known by anyone as it had perfectly hidden in the shadows. Several persons have passed by the figure not even realizing there was someone there. It wasn't until I was coming before it showed itself. These figures were everywhere, planted in every nook and crook where secrets were said. The figure would collect those secrets and report them to me because it was what I needed. No one here was innocent. They all had a hand in the massacre of death that happened seven years ago. “What news do you have for me,” I asked through the mind link. We do not converse outwardly, there is a saying that walls have ears. We had made ourselves the walls that had ears so we were not falling for something like that again. Our conversations were always as coded as they could. No one could truly understand it except they were very powerful. I had made sure this job was going to be perfect. It was not my fault an
