I loved this Beta too much No longer safe
NOVAI opened my eyes and found myself staring at the unfamiliar ceiling. I was lying on a bed covered in silver silk sheets, and this bed certainly wasn't my own. Cinnamon. Everything around smelled like cinnamon—a perfect mix of spicy and sweet. I lifted myself to sit and looked around. The room was brightly saturated by the sunlight falling from the floor-to-ceiling windows. The wall, ceiling, and floor color tones drifted from dark grey through dove-like shades to white, giving the impression that this place was impeccably clean. Suddenly, the door in front of me opened, and Asriel walked inside, carrying a glass of water. He was wearing a black shirt with an unbuttoned collar and rolled-up sleeves, and a pair of black pants. A few strands of his black ruffled hair fell on his forehead, filling me with an irresistible urge to comb them up with my fingers."You're awake." He smiled and handed me the glass of water.My lips curled up nervously. "H-how did I get here?"He sat on the
I loved this Beta too much Not-healing
NOVAI couldn't sleep. I was lying in my bed with my eyes open, and I stared at my trembling palms. I hurt someone. My powers had always served to heal people, but for the first time in my life, I used magic to cause pain. I watched blood flowing from their mouths and the wide streams of red covering their fingers, and I felt no regret. They deserved it, and attacking them was the best kind of defense I could think of. Even so, deep in my mind, I felt that I had crossed a line I had never thought I'd cross.I wished I could have told Felix what happened. That lack of signal around the packhouse was pissing me off even more than before. I needed him to comfort me. I needed him to hug me and say that I hadn't done anything wrong. I needed him to tell me that we would be together again soon. I needed him...The stress must have drained me at some point because the next thing I knew, the alarm clock roughly pulled me out of my dreamless sleep. I rolled out of bed and forced myself to do m
I loved this Beta too much Their target
FELIX Fourteen hours earlier Rainier hadn't officially passed me his Alpha title yet, but he surely did charge me with multiple responsibilities. I spent the entire morning trying to figure out how to protect the pack's borders, but then my brother brought me another piece of grim news. "There has been another attack on our borders. This time, they came from the south," Eric reported. I cursed under my breath. My blood was boiling, and I needed a moment to regain my composure. "How many?" I strained through my teeth. "Five dead, and six sent to the hospital," Eric said. "What about the lycans?" "Our warriors killed most of them, but…" Eric's mouth twisted uncomfortably. "But?" I urged. "A few of them managed to get deep into the woods of our territory, and our troupes lost them." "Damn it!" I roared, hitting the desk with my fist. Lycans became more daring and vicious. They kept attacking in small groups, and their attacks had always ended up in a bloody mess. I was yet to f
I loved this Beta too much Rescued
NOVA"Shield," I mumbled a spell under my breath and watched the barrier I created shove away the three men who tried to lurch at me. I was attacked the second night in a row. This couldn't be coincidental. Nobody, not even me, was THAT unlucky.There was a guy who only stayed a few steps away while others attacked. He stared at me with his terrifying golden eyes while his thin lips formed a cold smirk. "Stop playing with her! We were ordered to get her, so just do it!" he yelled at others.The five other men nodded and started to shift, their clothes turning into shreds as they grew taller and more massive. I watched their transformation and gulped. Instead of landing on their four paws, they remained standing on their two feet. I had never seen lycans before, but I think I was looking at them right now..."Oh, Goddess Hecate," I muffled a squeak with my hand. My body started to tremble. Not because I found the creatures before me horrifying, but because I realized I had seen a beast
I loved this Beta too much Preparations
FELIXI watched Nova sleep. She was lying in my arms, her head resting on my chest, her breath caressing my skin. I felt like I had been longing for this kind of bliss for eternity. She shifted in her sleep, and a soft moan escaped her lips. I chuckled and brushed her raven hair off her face. Now I fully remembered what was it like to be with her, to care for her, to feel for her...It was my fault that she was endangered last night. She wouldn't have been attacked if she could live peacefully by my side in the packhouse. I hadn't made her my priority, and she was forced to pay the price for my choices. I should have protected her better. Instead, I had naively thought that she would be safe living in Scarletville. I couldn't have been more wrong.In the morning, Holden confirmed that all the women on the lycans' target list were witches. Nova said that those fuckers wanted to kidnap her rather than kill her. That made me guess that they planned to capture all the witches living in th
I loved this Beta too much The Mating Ball
NOVA My heart was pounding all night, stealing away my sleep. Something odd filled the air, and that something was far from pleasant. Yet, I told myself that it was normal to feel such anxiety before tonight. With the Blood Moon reaching its peak, the fated mates were going to feel their bond. Would I be able to feel it too? Felix told me that we would take fate into our own hands and would be together no matter if we were fated mates or not. I wanted nothing more than that, but could we truly make it happen? Felix was going to become an Alpha soon, and he would need a Luna by his side—a she-wolf Luna. I doubted that anyone in this pack would accept a Luna who was a witch unless that witch was Alpha's destined mate. The more I thought about it, the more restless I was... "Get a grip, Nova!" I yelled at my reflection in the mirror. "You will go to that ball, you will freaking shine, and then you will stay together with the man you love!" My confidence and good mood lasted exactly th
I loved this Beta too much Mate
NOVA I stood in the middle of the ballroom, staring at the large door in front of me. According to Eric, all the male wolves would walk through that door in a little less than fifteen minutes. I kept rubbing my sweaty palms together. My heart was racing. I sucked in shallow breaths, clamping my mouth like an idiot and most likely resembling a dying fish. Every second spent waiting in this place felt like torture… "Here, drink this. It'll calm your nerves," I heard a gentle female voice and saw a glass of champagne brought in front of my eyes. I smiled awkwardly and took the glass. "Thank you…" I turned toward my savior and almost choked on the last note. Lya Crain smiled at me. "You're welcome." Then she gently prodded my shoulder. "Don't worry, we are all nervous. This night can determine our entire lives. It's normal to be nervous." Lya was as astonishing as in my vision. She was dressed in a cream-colored gown decorated with glittering golden scales, making her look like an emb
I loved this Beta too much Mine
FELIXI was staring at the stunning blonde beauty before me. Everything within me kept telling me that she was mine. How could that be? We were standing in the middle of the ballroom, surrounded by aroused and rejoiced newly found pairs of mates. Perhaps I should enjoy my happiness as well, but somehow the word "mate" left a sour taste on the tip of my tongue.Just the night before the Blood Moon, I wanted to spend my entire life together with Nova, but just a few moments ago, I looked into her eyes and felt nothing. Then I watched her leave the ballroom, surprised by my own indifference. Is that how the mate bond was supposed to work? Was I truly destined to hurt the one person who was willing to sacrifice everything for me?"Um… You must be confused... Believe me, so am I." Lya smiled hesitantly, taking my hand in hers. "I'm sorry for Nova too, but she should have predicted it."I frowned. "What?"She chuckled nervously and stroked my palm with her slender fingertips. "I mean… a mat

I loved this Beta too much Happiness
NOVA One year later "You should have stayed in the packhouse, Luna Nova. You're pregnant. Alpha will kill me." Holden repeated those words for the fifth time while we were on our way to the Sky Town's construction site. I didn't break the promise I gave Felix—I wasn't driving, Holden was. "I'm fine. You're forgetting that I'm a witch with healing powers. I can feel when there's something wrong with the baby or me. And I go where I'm needed," I said, crossing my arms over my chest. "You're going to get me killed," he grunted, and I chuckled. Felix had been overprotective since he learned that I was pregnant two weeks ago. He had been freaking out ever since. I wasn't gravely ill, for Goddess's sake! Furthermore, I felt stronger than ever, and it was a perfect day for my magic to work. With the help of Harriet and Sadako, we created a replacement for the ancient talisman used to fill the jades. Now the witches I hired were using it to enhance their own magic and strengthen the grou
I loved this Beta too much Marked
FELIXMate. That one word rang in my head, building the sweetest, most enticing sensation I had ever felt in my life. There was something pure and raw about it. It was this certainly—this absolute certainty—that I was looking at the one destined for me, the one whom I would love and worship for the rest of my days. It felt nothing like that fake fascination I felt for Lya. If I had known what it should have felt like, I would've never even touched her. Goddess made me wait for too long, testing me. Now I prayed that even if I had failed miserably before, Nova would give me a chance to prove that I was worthy of having her as my mate.She inhaled sharply and smiled at me. Her emeralds sparkled in the light of the moon. She was perfection—strong, beautiful, and caring. I wanted her to become my Luna, even tonight."S-so... what now?" She laughed nervously, and I could feel her trembling in my arms.I leaned over and softly kissed her lips. "Well, we can wait for our dinner or skip the r
I loved this Beta too much Decision
NOVAA week passed since Felix carried me out of the mine, and the cheering crowd of warriors announced that the battle had come to an end. I had spent that week in the hospital, as had many others. I should have been the one healing them, but currently, I wasn't even able to heal myself.The ritual had taken a greater toll on me than I initially expected. All the rocks that had fallen on my body didn't help either. For the first time in my life, I had to be taken care of, and there was one person who immediately applied for the job—Felix. He had been here, by my bed, from the moment he had carried me into the hospital. He had been severely injured himself, but he refused to lie down. He said that he would heal while sitting by my side, and I seriously didn't know how I felt about it.I knew that all those things that he did—everything that hurt me—weren't entirely his fault. But even before he was under the fake mate-bond spell, he pushed me away. Besides, the fact that he spent the
I loved this Beta too much For Her
FELIXHalf an hour earlierThe opening of a large tunnel leading to the jade mine was right in front of Asriel and me. We were wearing only pants to quicken the shift when necessary. We had killed the ten warriors guarding the entrance, and now there was finally no one standing in our way. We knew that Eric and Nova were inside and that, most likely, Maren was there as well. We informed our warriors where we were going, but we couldn't wait. Nova's life was at stake.We stormed into the dimly lit tunnel and rushed forward until we reached the point where it split into two sides. Asriel cursed, looking at the two nearly identical tunnels. "Where now?"I stood in the middle, closed my eyes, and drew a deep breath through my nose. "Left," I said.Asriel raised one eyebrow. "How do you know that?""I sensed a faint smell of magnolias. It's coming from the left side," I explained.Asriel frowned. "I don't smell anything."I smirked. "It's understandable. You cannot possibly know Nova's sce
I loved this Beta too much The primal power
NOVAThe last thing I remembered was Eric raising his fist and the pain on the back of my head that followed. When I opened my eyes, I was staring at the uneven wall, spiked with purple stones. The jade mine. I was lying in the center of another magic circle. I guess Eric had no time to prepare another cage, pair of cuffs, or chain for me. I gritted my teeth as I tried to stand up. My head still hurt, and I needed a moment before I balanced my unstable body.I looked around. The place where I was appeared to be the dead end of a mining corridor. This area had been carefully hollowed out, and the massive beams, formed in a very solid construction, enhanced the walls. A long line of cables went through the top of the wooden structure, supplying the row of weakly glowing light bulbs with electricity. There was only one exit, leading to a dark tunnel in front of me... I cursed under my breath. Even with my magic unrestrained by the circle, my chances to escape this place were practically
I loved this Beta too much Counterattack
FELIXNova. She filled every corner of my mind as we were getting closer to the Crimson Mountain Pack's territory. I prayed that she was alive and unharmed, and once the darkest what-ifs flooded my mind, the rage followed. I was going to kill every fucker that caused her pain.Our combined armies were a little over a hundred people. The enemy had numerical superiority, but I dare say that the best warriors in our Werewolf Kingdom were on our side. Now, we could only hope that they weren't able to create too many jades fueled by magic. Otherwise, their numbers could truly cause a huge problem…It was fortunate that Tyrion made significant changes to the royal council, filling it with wise and open-minded men. There were no votes against the Moon Blade Pack engaging in our conflict, and they were all more than willing to hear the entire story, starting from the deal with Hecate. They all agreed that this matter had to be solved urgently, and so the alliance had been made.I wish I had m
I loved this Beta too much So close
NOVAAt the cost of several more witches' lives, another stone was created. Eric consumed it just as he did with the one filled by Cassandra. Tears couldn't stop falling down my cheeks. There were tears of pain—the pain of those who died—and anger. Once the ashes covered more than half the floor in the audience hall, Eric finally ordered, "Let's end this for today. I'm bored."And just like that, the hall was emptied, and I was brought back to my cell. The real reason why the witch-killing had ended was anything but the fact that Eric got bored. Aside from Maren and me, he could no longer sense the true, powerful magic within the remaining witches. I also heard him tell Einer that they would have to hunt for witches outside of the Crimson Mountain Pack's territory. They were prepared to exterminate the entire witch race just to gain more power.Someone had to stop them, but even with my full magic restored, I was no all-mighty superhero. I needed an army to fight with me, and I knew o
I loved this Beta too much The ritual
NOVA Ten minutes later, my cage had been brought to the hall and put down at Eric's feet. He clearly loved looking down on me. Asshole. Lya, on the other hand, wasn't fond of the way Eric's eyes landed on me ninety percent of the time, even if she did everything she could to draw his attention to her. The room filled with witches and warriors. Maren strode through the hall, offering me a dark grin. She then stopped beside Eric and Einer. "Unfortunately, we don't have a talisman that would make filling the jades much easier. We will use the strongest witches as vessels. They will drink the essence and use their bodies to transform the core's magic and then place it in the stone," she explained, looking at the gathered witches. One of the witches stepped forward. "B-but the essence... wouldn't it be poisonous?" Maren chuckled. "That was why I said that only the strong witches could do this." The one who asked nodded and stepped back. Then Maren added with a cold smirk, "However, I ne
I loved this Beta too much Her hatred
NOVAThe smell of blood was ever-present. It was all over me, and I wasn't even allowed to wash it off. It sickened me, but nearly everyone seemed unbothered by it. A few minutes later, just like that, I was transported back to my cell. My whole body ached, and I started to develop claustrophobia from being locked in this freaking cage. The only good thing about being in this prison was that I was left alone and unguarded. That gave me the time I needed to slowly free myself from all the restraints.It took me a while, but I finally shifted to a sitting-kneeling position and straightened my back and neck a little. The amount of struggle it took was ridiculous, but I needed to find a more comfortable way to meditate and gather my magic. With the single crack on my cuffs, my senses could reach beyond the part of the corridor I saw. That way, my instincts would warn me of danger long before I'd see or hear it. I took a deep breath and looked at the metal, unwanted bracelets on my wrists.
