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 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 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
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 "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. A
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

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.

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
