NOVA

I might have enjoyed Maren's dumb, open-mouth expression if I wasn't just as shocked as her. No, actually, the word "shock" couldn't describe what I felt at that moment. I sat in the van, bemused, observing what was happening outside as if it was some damn movie. I guess that my mind was too overwhelmed by Felix's bold statement to acknowledge that I was, sort of, the center of this mess...

The witches that sat behind me cringed in their seats, weeping in terror and mumbling that the wolves outside were going to kill them. Well, I couldn't blame them for being afraid. The two guards that were supposed to protect them lay knocked out on the ground, and their leader was in the hands of a seriously pissed Beta.

Maren fisted her hands, and even from a distance, I could see her mouthing a curse or two. I wondered why. The coven should value that amount of gold much more than a simple healing witch like me, but Maren seemed to be more than annoyed with such an outcome. Unluckily for he

    NOVAWe celebrated our reunion until dawn and then continued it after breakfast… and lunch… and a little bit afterward. I wasn't sure how I managed to survive the surge of Felix's passion. I sank deep and happily embraced the sweet pain of overstretched muscles that came the day after.Once we got back to Grand Lunaville, Felix and I were back in the one-of-a-kind friend zone… Our unique friendship had simple rules this time: it required a lot of time spent in bed together without mentioning that we were in any form of a relationship. Yes, we were probably the most screwed-up couple in the entire universe.Even though Felix claimed that he didn't want the insane amount of money he paid for my freedom back, I still decided to do whatever I could to earn it and give it to him. Fortunately, my magical business grew, and I could stay true to my promise.As soon as I performed the ritual using the Supreme witch's blood, I broke the final chain that tied me to the coven. I was now free to e

  • I loved this Beta too much   Please, wake up

    NOVAIt had been five days, six hours, and twenty minutes since Felix fell into a coma. My life had shrunk to the hospital room where he was lying. I couldn't heal him. The thing that hurt him was much more powerful than my magic. I could only stare at his motionless body, waiting for the moment he opened his eyes."Please, bring him back to me," I mumbled, praying to Hecate, the Moon Goddess, and every celestial creature that was willing to hear me. "Please don't take him away from me…"The fact that he stayed in the hospital didn't mean much, since none of the doctors could help him. According to human and werewolf medicine, there was nothing wrong with him, but that statement was far from the truth. His condition had been caused by dark magic, and I could only hope that his body was strong enough to fight it…I think that I was able to survive it all only because of Aria. She kept me company and told me not to lose hope. She was coming to the hospital every day, helping patients wh

  • I loved this Beta too much   My new reality

    NOVAWas I seeing things? That couldn't be right, could it? Felix was a Beta wolf; he inherited his rank features from his mother. The fact was that I knew nothing about his father's identity, and neither did Felix, but his wolf's eyes had always been gold, Beta-gold.I couldn't sleep, hoping that the change in his eyes was merely my ecstasy-painted hallucination, but the more paranoid side of me raised a red flag. What if it was one of the side effects of consuming dark magic? What if it was just the beginning of those side effects manifesting?As soon as we woke up the next morning, Felix changed his mind about taking another day off. "I'm sorry, love," he said, kissing my forehead. "Tyrion needs my help. The annual meeting is coming, and there's tons of work to do."I smiled wryly and nodded in acknowledgment, even if I wasn't fond of the idea of him leaving me. Nonetheless, I was now Beta's girlfriend, and I had to accept that my man had a lot of responsibilities to handle. Beside

  • I loved this Beta too much   Falling apart

    NOVA Two months later A lot had happened during the last few weeks. Some of our friends died, and we all faced danger multiple times. But the sun shone through more than once as well. Aria and Alpha Tyrion turned out to be mates, and now, Aria would finally become the pack's Luna and Queen. I couldn't be happier for them, but I was happy for Felix and me as well… I had never seen red in Felix's pupils again, and despite him growing more muscles—which I didn't mind at all—it didn't seem like the magical energy he consumed caused him any harm. Our relationship grew stronger every day, and despite the surrounding darkness, I was slowly learning how it felt to be loved. We had yet to confess to each other, but those three magical words hung in the air whenever we were close. I guess we were both waiting for more peaceful times to say it out loud. After several horrifying attacks planned by the dark witch, we were all waiting for her next move, but the pack's plan of events remained unc

    NOVA"We need to get out of bed already." My voice couldn't be any less convincing."Do we?" Felix chuckled, pulled me closer, and purred in my ear, "I'm not going anywhere, and I won't let you leave either. I will never let you go."I looked deep into the irresistible blue of his eyes, and a wave of shivers flooded me down to my lady parts. His body heat melted my reasoning. My naked skin brushed against his perfectly-defined, rigid muscles, and a pleading whimper broke through my throat. His lips curled up in a sexy smirk. Then his hand slid to the back of my head, fisting my hair and bringing me closer to him."Why don't we stay in bed all day today?" he whispered, in between nibbling on my bottom lip. He didn't wait for my response. His tongue entered my parted lips with lush licks that lit all my senses. At the same time, his hands slid down my back, finding my buttocks. One of my hands tangled in the silk of his blond hair while the other worshiped every chiseled bulging of his

    NOVAI had just driven past the borders of the Moon Blade Pack. Yes, I was driving. Somewhere in the middle of my mission to wipe Felix off my mind, I decided to become a decent driver. I became the owner of a cute silver Beetle, and this sweetie turned out to be kind enough to take me wherever I wanted.I was getting closer to Grand Lunaville, and my head started to spin. I pulled over and stopped, struggling to catch my breath. An unknown force pressured my chest, and I could swear I felt Felix's rosemary and lime scent wrapping around me."That's impossible, and you know that, Nova," I told myself. "Don't let your anxiety stop you from doing what you have to do."I stretched out my ribcage, fighting the inner squeeze until I could breathe again. My blood was still madly rushing through my veins, but I managed to chase away the sudden panic. I started the engine and drove forward.Grand Lunaville didn't look any different from what I remembered. It felt as if nothing had changed. Pe

    NOVAI was pissed. Felix had risked his life multiple times, trying to defend those who were now accusing him of treason, even if their Alpha had denied it. Didn't they trust their own Alpha?! Aria had been there as well, and she told me everything that had happened that night. Felix wasn't a traitor! He had become a tool and ended up sacrificing his life, trying not to hurt his best friend, Tyrion. How could those people say otherwise?! They hadn't been there! Not to mention that most of those lies were spread by Felix's uncle... I seriously wanted to kick his ass, right now! Or... just as soon as I finished eating my burger, because I was seriously starving."Here you go, Nova." Dylan, a gorgeous man with long blond hair, placed a delicious-smelling plate on my table. "Bon appetite," he added with a blinding grin."Thank you, Dylan," I said before sinking my teeth into a juicy meet. Goddess, it tasted like heaven! Just what I needed before my nerve-wracking trip.Jarvis kept the doo

    FELIX I remembered floating in absolute darkness. Someone had taken away my body and most of my senses, leaving me with pain that I couldn't even locate. My consciousness had shrunk, locking my mind in a loop of endless wondering. Was I in hell? Was I… dead? I lost my recognition of who I was or what I did to deserve to be in this void. This torment seemed to last for eternity. I thought I was used to the pain until a new wave of pain ripped through my immaterial remains. Then came a strong pull as if an unknown force dragged me out of the darkness, returning my senses. "It's time for you to come back." A woman's voice vibrated through every ounce of me. The next moment, I felt the weight of my limbs. My soul became restrained inside a body, ending its aimless floating. With my awareness and natural reflexes slowly coming back, the weak shards of memory appeared. Thousands of images rushed through my mind, showing me things I was yet to comprehend. Then I heard a name and suddenly

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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.
