“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
“He is a handsome boy!” Hank smiles, seeing his nephew on the screen. “Looks very Reynolds.”“Nice try, this boy is all Timberman,” Terry smiles proudly.“That black hair gives it away,” Catherine smiles at her brother.“You have brown hair,” Hank teases back.“Yeah, but Uncle Seb, Terry, and Nova all have black hair, like my sweet little boy,” Catherine kisses the top of her son’s head. “I can’t think of a name. Got any ideas?”“I’m not giving you my top choices, they are mine,” Hank smiles.“Jules?” Catherine asks.“I’m gonna stand by my man on this one,” Juliet smiles. “He is really handsome.”“Handsome?” Catherine looks up at Terry.“Yeah, he is handsome,” Terry stares at his son.“No, 'Handsome' as his name,” Catherine smiles.Terry squints at her. “Love of my life, my whole reason for being. No, that is not a good name.”Nova laughs.“I think he is so handsome there is only one name for him,” Oliver smiles. “Name him Oliver.”Everyone laughs.“What about Tom?” Terry asks.“Too p
Once Temperance released her daughter, they all marched over to where Marissa is bound, kneeling in front of the fire burning the rogue bodies.“You lead all of them to their deaths,” Nova says, pulling Marissa’s hair back, forcing Marissa to look her in the eye. “You thought I was weak. I guess throwing you over a patio wall wasn’t lesson enough.”“How did you overcome so many? We send 90 after you,” Marissa lets tears fall as she stares at Nova.“You thought I was weak and that is why I never trained, You thought I was helpless without my Alpha family or mate. You thought I was the easy target. But, you see, you don’t know me. If you did know me, you would know I am not now, nor have I ever been, weak. Only underestimated,” Nova smiles slightly. “And you miscalculated.”“I loved him before you,” Marissa whines. “I loved him without a bond telling me to.”“You could have had the perfect life with Rhys. You could have been happy. But now you over played your hand. Oliver never loved y
“Okay guys, it’s 3am,” Terry looks at his watch. “We are well tipsy. Love you guys but I have a pregnant mate and a four month old at home.”“Yeah my Luna is carrying triplets. She is going to be pretty pissed when I get home,” Oliver laughs. “I’ll just give her some head and all is forgiven.”Hank laughs, “Is that all it takes to tame the beast?”Oliver flicks his tongue making Hank laugh and Terry look uneasy. “My sweet innocent sister,” Terry groans. “There is nothing innocent about her anymore,” Oliver winks. Hank laughs as they all stand and head back home.When they get in the packhouse they are quiet thinking their Luna’s are already asleep. Safe bet since it is 4am. “What is that light and noise?” Terry asks pointing to the kitchen.“Most likely the Omegas getting breakfast started,” Hank answers. “I wonder if they have bacon ready yet?”“Worth a look,” Oliver suggests. They make their way in and find a scene they did not expect. Nova is standing on top of the counter, J
