Nova and Oliver are all smiles and giggles in the backseat as Terry drives. Catherine is suppressing a laugh as Terry turns more and more green.“Now you know how we make Hank feel,” Catherine tells Terry as Oliver makes Nova moan a little.“I’m never touching you in front of your brother again,” Terry mumbles, making Catherine laugh.When Terry parks the car, Oliver tosses Nova over his shoulder and runs away.“All that teasing in the car must have gotten to him,” Catherine laughs, planting kisses on Terry’s jaw and neck. “We are still like that, you know. We are just as gross.”Terry makes a disgusted face, “She is my little sister.”Catherine can’t contain her laughter.Upstairs, Oliver passes several Omegas, who are finishing preparing rooms.“I will give your Luna back to you in a few minutes,” Oliver tells them as he carries Nova to their bedroom.Oliver locks the door before tossing Nova on the bed making her squeal and giggle.“I thought you were just putting on a show for my
Nova dashes out the back doors to catch her breath.She leans over the stone railing overlooking the pool.They hate her all of her. They gossip, but will they plot against her.Nova starts to hyperventilate.“Whoa,” Milo catches her before she falls. “Sandra call Oliver.”“Nova honey,” Temperance runs to her daughter, who is cradled in Milo’s arms. “Honey, talk to me.”Before Nova can speak, the patio shakes. Oliver has jumped from his bedroom on the fifth floor to the stone patio in a pair of sweatpants.“Baby,” Oliver takes Nova in his arms. “Baby, talk to me.”Nova lays her cheek on his bare chest to calm herself. Oliver holds her and walks toward the woods away from everyone.“What happened?” Oliver asks.Astra- Tell him the truth. He will know if you lie.Nova- Not if you don’t tell him.Astra- That is a joke right.Nova- Don’t tell him, Astra. I don’t want to start my Luna duties this way. I will deal with it.Astra- Fine, as long as it’s just words. They lay a finger on you an
“Exactly when is it that any of you served Marissa in MY bed?” Nova asks, breathing deeply to control Astra, who was trying to surface.The two Omegas, who Nova did not know, both stare wide eyed at their Luna.“My sister was the one to serve me. She is only one I would ever allow to see Oliver in the state we were in each morning,” Marissa answers smirking.“If that were true, your scent would be all over the room. At least faintly. Yet there is nothing. If you were close to Oliver at all, your scent would linger on him, and I would know it. If he were at all in love with you, he would not have marked me. You have no proof of your claims,” Nova smirks back, crossing her arms.“My sister has seen us in bed together,” Marissa smugly looks at Kimberly.“I have, I have seen them act as mates do,” Kimberly says proudly. “I’ve heard Alpha say he wish my sister was his Luna while kissing her.”“See, you are nothing. You are only here because rejecting you would mean war with Biczi and we ar
“Good morning, my love,” Oliver moans, pulling Nova close to him. She had wiggled away in the night.“Good morning, my Alpha,” Nova smiles.“I have a teleconference with Alpha Mitchell at 9, after training. Would you like to be in that meeting?” Oliver asks.“I have the contractor about the new houses at 9 today. You will have to fill me in later,” Nova pouts. “I want you to know I approved the 4 bedrooms. Be mad all you want, but I say larger werewolf families are important.”Oliver rolls his eyes. “We are going to have like 20 pups aren’t we.”Nova smiles. “You complain?”Oliver smiles at her and kisses her nose. “Not when you look at me like that.”Nova bats her eyes. “Like what, Alpha.”“Get closer already, you know what you are doing,” Oliver pulls her close and their lips connect. He runs his fingers gently between her legs, making her giggle into their kiss. As he tickles her clit, they shift their positions and soon are making love as the sun peeks through the curtains. “I lov
Oliver hears his Luna start into the contractor and he smiles. He always knew Nova was feisty. He is proud of the fact Nova can fight if she has to but also so glad she chooses not to. The video conference is starting when he enters his office. “Lex!” Oliver smiles at him. “How are things?”“Going well Ollie. My pack and I owe you and Biczi a lot. After what my father did you could have wiped us out. I want you to know how grateful we are that you let my father alone pay for his mistakes. You also brokered the peace between us and Reynolds.”Oliver is wearing his signature grin. “Lex what is going on?”Lexington looks down and sighs. “I found my mate.”Oliver widens his grin into a smile. “Congratulations! That is wonderful. Why all the build up? Nova and I can’t wait to see your ceremony,” Oliver tells him. “Yeah about that. My Luna has confessed everything to me. She feels horrible for what she did and understands that her confession could amount to treason meaning death for her
Nova grabs Oliver’s arm to balance herself as he explains everything behind her closed office door.“So, I am not safe here,” Nova looks at him. “Oliver, you have to let me go home until this is over. I can defend myself, but I can’t train with these warriors. I can’t trust anyone. Until you get control of your pack, I need to leave.”“I will protect you. Running only shows the pack you are afraid. Don’t worry about your safety or the safety of Biczi Warriors. I will call Terry and explain everything. He can be on more solid watch. Nova, you are more important to me than my pack. I’ll let Terry come in here and kill them all before I let you be taken from me. Once the pack see what lies Marissa was spewing, they will find you are the Luna they asked for and one they can respect and love,” Oliver rambles off very quickly hoping to change her mind.Nova inhales deeply and takes his hand. “Okay, but I want you with me at all times now or I will be in this office with the door locked. I w
“Marissa, they are coming after you,” Kimberly tells her. “Lexington is trying to save you, but the other Alphas are voting soon. He won’t have a choice; our pack can’t fight everyone.”Marissa thinks, “Why aren’t they coming after you at all?”Kimberly swallows. “I am a Luna, out of respect, I am given some permissions.”“So, if I was a Luna, then they would leave me alone?” Marissa asks.“I don’t know. You actually poisoned the Luna of Reynolds. Hank is not so forgiving. He wants to punish you at Reynolds. Oliver is asking Justice get you first, but he might lose that battle,” Kimberly tells her, ringing her hands and shaking. “We need to prepare for you to be taken.”Marissa throws her head back laughing. “You give up so easily. Clearly you are not Luna material. At least I have a wolf. Isn’t a Luna’s first job to do what is in the best interest of the pack?”“Yes, that is why I am telling you; we need to prepare for you trial. We need to be ready with a defense,” Kimberly says. “W
“Every pack is on alert, she has been out there two weeks now,” Terry tells Catherine. “I want you to stay close to the Packhouse, please.”Catherine rolls her eyes, “I'm not in the condition to fight with you. But do you honestly think she will come here to hurt me?”“No, she is going after Nova,” Terry answers. “We all know she is going after Nova. But you are vulnerable. Nova would gladly lay her life down for you and our child.”Catherine considers and nods.“Sorry to interrupt,” Sebastian knocks on the office door. “I heard my daughter in law and grandchild need a bodyguard. I have come to volunteer. Cole is restless.”“Mom made you,” Terry rolls his eyes.“In a way. She is driving me crazy. Something is off and I need out of her way while she figures it out,” Sebastian smiles.“I thought you two figured things out together?” Catherine looks at him.Sebastian sits down. “Normally, yes. But whatever this is, its emotional, internal. She needs to figure this out herself. I am suppo
