Turner POV
Nash came out of the back office, then stopped dead in his tracks as he sniffed the air and looked over at our table. What the hell is he smelling? His eyes met mine and he was lost in a daze as he linked me, “The blonde is my mate, you said she was human right.” I just nodded my head, with my wolf hearing I heard him say, “SHIT.” “This is crazy and they are best friends, we have to get them on our lands. I can’t leave my mate unprotected,” he mindlinked. “You think I want to walk away from my Luna.” “We have to find a way to get them on pack land.” “School is the fastest way, so we have to make that happen soon.” “I will make some calls,” he said walking to the table. His eyes landed on Vivian and I could already tell he was just as smitten as me. The ladies hadn’t noticed him coming yet. Ella yelled, “Uncle Nash, come meet my teachers.” The ladies looked up and Vivian’s eyes met Nash and you could see the attraction. This is a plus for Nash, and maybe myself if Vivian likes Nash she can help me with Nova. I have high hopes now that I see this connection between them. “Hello my pretty princess,” he says while kissing the top of her head, but keeps his eyes on Vivian. “Hello beautiful ladies, welcome to my restaurant.” “Hello thank you for getting us a table,” Nova stated. “Yes, thank you,” Vivian said with a red blush on her cheeks. Oh this was going to be fun to watch Nash put on his charm with this woman. When first meeting her I didn’t think she would blush like this. There must really be something about the mask that was really getting under her skin. My eyes went to Nova, she was looking at her friend with a little smirk. Wondering what she was thinking killed me, only if she could feel the bond. I wonder if she feels a small pull to me even with her being human. “Have a seat Nash, I know you have everyone working so you don’t have too,” I stated. “That is the advantage of being boss,” he sat down with us. “This is an amazing restaurant, I am so excited about trying the food,” Vivian stated. “The bill is on me tonight ladies, so help yourself,” he said. “We can’t ask you to do that for us, we can pay for our own food,” Nova said with a little sass. “Speak for yourself, this handsome man can buy me dinner anytime,” said Vivian. Nova just rolled her eyes at her. My girl was going to be a handful, she is very independent. Goddess please help me because I don’t want to screw up my second chance. My wolf is so happy in my head right now that we are getting another chance. We both know Luna makes an Alpha stronger no matter if human or wolf. We both want to protect her with everything we have. With the look in Nash’s eyes I could tell he felt the same way as I did. Being so happy for Nash, finally finding his mate. I had Ruby for a few years and got Ella, but Nash has been waiting for his mate to commit to someone. He has been a player, but he made sure the women knew that he only wanted sex. As happy for Nash I still could help but watch Nova. She was gorgeous, she talked so animatedly to Ella. It was like she could care less if I was there, and it warmed my heart to see this.Nova POV This has been a great night. My best friend has been flirting with the rich restaurant owner. It was so much fun to watch her. Plus the man across from me was very nice to look at and the love he had for his little girl melted my heart. There is something about this man that I could not explain but it was like something was pulling me to him. There is no way this drop dead gorgeous, sweet heart of a man wants anything to do with a nobody teacher. The looks he has given me are so sexy, plus turning me on like never before. Most men can’t even turn me on by touching me, but hell it was like this man had special powers. These powers are over my body. Naughty thoughts keep coming to my mind, I couldn’t help it he was sexy. I bet he could have any woman he wanted, the hostess sure wants in his pants. Why do I feel jealous? He is not mine, I am losing my mind. There is one thing I know is that I am attracted to this man, and I think the world of his little girl. Ella was goin
Turner POV I need to find a way to clear my schedule sooner. I already had things planned to take Ella to the beach. But my mate was going to be there. I want to be there. Once rouge wolves smell me on her she will be a target. I plan before I leave her tonight to mark her with my scent. No one will touch what is mine, I will send Noah tonight to watch over her home. Then tomorrow he will become their best guy friend. He loves the same stuff women like. Noah just came out to the pack as gay, but I have known our whole lives. It never changed my feelings for him, I always knew he would be my Gamma. Plus being very jealous hearted, it helps to have a Gamma that doesn’t like women. His job was to protect and support my Luna. If I can get Noah and Nova to be friends he can get to the beach house with them. They are asking for two weeks, I can give her that time but I want to be close to her. But I don’t want to become a stalker. “So where is the house you ladies are renting,”
Nova POV Oh my goodness this guy is so fabulous, I want to laugh so hard. But offering to buy me stuff on his friend's black card was over the top. I don’t need a man’s help or want help. I’ve been taking care of myself since I was ten years old, the same age as Ella. So glad she gets to be a kid, she is the sweetest kid. I’ve been wondering if her dad was on the board of this private school why hadn’t she been going there. I am glad she has been at the public school but if I had that pull I would be using it. I can’t stop thinking about switching jobs. I wonder if Vivian is even thinking about it. She can’t stop making goggle eyes at Nash. He is nice looking, but hell not as good looking as Turner. I just hope she is t falling in love because of the money. She is a great person and I love her. But she falls in love with the wrong kind of guys. Nash seems to be nice, cause since he came over to the talk he hasn’t looked at another woman. It seemed like he only had eyes for V
Turner POV I watched Nova leave the restaurant with my Gamma right behind her. He was still trying his damn best to get her to be his friend. He is very goal oriented and he was going to stick to his Luna. It kind of broke my heart to see her leave. Why doesn’t she seem to be interested in me? I heard her friend confirm that she was independent, but she is pulling away from me. I smelt her arousal earlier, but now nothing. I was deep in thought as I got a mindlink from Noah “Alpha, get out here, some asshole is harassing Nova.” I jump up and take off to the door. If he touches her I will kill him. I hear running after me and I know it’s Nash plus the girls. I can’t lose my temper in front of Ella, even if she knows wolves have a short temper. I walk out and see the man from the board grab Nova by the arm and then slam her up against the car. She hit her head on the car. Noah grabbed the guy and then slammed him to the ground. Vivian ran to Nova, I grabbed the guy up and y
Nova POV I could hear talking as I woke up. Where was I? I open my eyes to the backseat of my car. How the hell did I get in my car? What the hell is going on? “He laid hands on my friend,” I heard Vivian’s voice yelling. Who put their hands on who? I don’t remember what happened once I left the restaurant. Noah was following me, talking very animatedly. Then we got to my car. Oh fucken shit Robert, she was waiting by my car. How did he know where I was? This has been a weird evening. Why does my head hurt? Did Robert do something to someone? I hear other people’s voices and one voice sounds deeply pissed, but holding back. I sit up in my seat, look out the window and I see the guys and cops. Shit was there a fight? “Miss. Jackson is awake,” I hear Ella say. That baby is seeing all this. What the hell is wrong with these people? “What the hell is going on?” I asked as I opened the door. “These assholes attacked me, Nova.” Robert was saying as he walked towards me. I
Turner POV I watched as my mate and Vivian drove away. I was too worried there was a car full of warriors parked down on the road ready to follow them. Plus I was not going to let this Robert guy out of my site. I was going to do anything to keep my girl safe. “Miss. Jackson said that she didn’t know this gentleman was here and asked him to move out of her way.” The older officer said to the younger officer. “She was lying, this man attacked me.” “She gave her statement that you attacked her and pushed her into the car. Then she passed out.” “So we are getting the surveillance video from the cameras. Then we can see what happened.” “I can have the videos forwarded to you Officer,” Nash advised him. “Sounds good Mr. Banner, here is the information for our tech guy.” “Thank you so much.” Nash said as he shook the cops hand and took the paper. “Is anyone here wanting to press charges?” The younger cop asked. We all said “No.” “Fine but know that you Sir need to stay
Nova POV We got to Vivian’s little house. We walked in and sat down on the couch. More or less flopped down from the excitement of the evening. We had dinner with two of the richest men in the area, then I got assaulted by a creepier. “Should I press charges on Robert?” I looked over and asked Vivian. “I think so, but I would definitely get that restraining order and we are both applying for that job Turner offered.” “Yes, I don’t even know how Robert knew where we were. Unless he followed us from the board meeting. If he did, how long had he been following me around?” Vivian looked at me with a worried look on her face. She has always been my protector when I struggle with men. She knew what kind of father I grew up with, the abuse he put me through. Sometimes I think that I wouldn’t be her today if it wasn’t for her. “Vivian, are you sure you want to move, you were thinking about buying this house?” “Hell, I just need a job and my best friend safe. The only reason I w
Nova POV Waking up was harder than normal. I really didn’t want to go to work today. Vivian was already up, I could hear her in the kitchen and it sounded like she was on the phone. I got up and started getting ready for work. Just have to get through today and make sure to stay away from Robert. I don’t want to be mean and ruin his life by pressing charges. I need to check to see if the restraining order would cost him his job. Because I am leaving the school doesn’t mean that I want him to lose his job. Turner didn’t seem to like Robert so I don’t think he would offer him a job. “Coffee is ready.” I heard Vivian yell from the kitchen. “Almost ready, be right out.” I am glad I keep stuff here for when we have girls night out. I really am scared to go home, because I am worried that Robert has been stalking me this whole time. I’ve never shown any kind of affection or interest in him. It’s so fucked up right now. I finished getting ready for school then walked out to th
