Nova’s POV I scribbled my signature on the last document, relief washing over me. Finally, done. But exhaustion hit me like a ton of bricks. Mr. Di Mario's plans to make my life miserable for the past week had succeeded. Piles of work, endless meetings, and impossible deadlines. It felt like punishment for the coffee incident. Shouldn’t he be over that for god's sake! It's too much to handle for my poor soul. I have barely been spending time with Lily since I began my job here and I can tell how it is hard for her to adjust to my new schedule but I was doing this for us. And thanks to Amelia’s help, she’s been quite sporty by taking and picking Lily up from school. I rubbed my tired eyes. 8 PM. Time to call it a day. As I packed up, I noticed the lights on in Mr. Di Mario's office. I walked by carefully, avoiding being seen even though i know he could pick up my scent. Curse you Alpha. I can’t afford to have a load of work assigned to me yet again, not when
Nova’s POV I pleaded with Mr. Di Mario, "Please, I'm fine on my own. I don't need your help or want to move in with you." I cried out. But he ignored me, grasping my arm and pulling me away from my apartment. "Let me go!" I demanded, trying to pull away. Tears welled up in my eyes. "Stop struggling, Nova," Mr. Di Mario ordered, his grip tightening. "I won't go anywhere with you!" I protested. I know that life was hard for me and us. Trying to make ends meet has never been an easy job. The housekeeper had sent me a warning a day back and I had pleaded with him to let me get my first salary, which I would pay off and we both agreed to that, I don’t know why he suddenly came to evict me. My heart ached. Thankfully Lilly isn’t here to witness this. Mr Di Mario dragged me toward the car snapping me out of my train of thoughts. "If you want your job, shut up and follow me," he growled. My voice trembled. "You can't do this." Mr. Di Mario opened the car door. "Get in
Alexandra’s POV. I pounded the punching bag, sweat dripping from my brow. Nova's face haunted me - her innocent gaze, her plump lips, curvy shape. My fists struck harder, trying to expel the thoughts. But they only intensified. I desired her, lust burning within me. Nova was attractive in every way - intelligent, fierce, and beautiful. My wolf craved her, sensing the strength and resilience beneath her fragile exterior. "Why does she have to be so stubborn?" I thought. "Why does she have to be the one?" I punched the bag again, my wolf growling in frustration. The memory of Nova's tears, and her trembling voice, only fueled my anger. "Dammit," I muttered. I couldn't shake off the feeling. Nova had burrowed under my skin. And I couldn't deny it - I wanted her. Not just her body, but her heart, her soul. My fists slowed, my chest heaving. My wolf's primal instincts screamed: "Claim her." I couldn’t claim her. I believe I am only infatuated with
Nova’s POV I closed my laptop, finishing work early for the first time in weeks. Since Mr. Di Mario flew out on his business trip, the office has been blissfully calm. No constant monitoring, no condescending remarks. Just peace. Living in his house has been uneventful and I am happy it stays that way. We both are avoiding each other. I make sure to leave the house before he’s ready for work and I come back before or sometimes after him. I just need to stay away from him, as though living with him is nothing short of torture but I am going to make sure it remains that way for as long as I can gather my salary and buy an apartment. And I got to leave early, which meant I had time to get ready for my date with Marcus tonight. I hadn't seen Marcus since I left my job at the bar. We've kept in touch, but life got busy. Tonight was going to be a catch-up session. I was excited to relive old times. Marcus was more than just a friend; he was my confidant. He is one
Nova’s Pov As we pulled into the driveway, my anger simmered. Alexandra had ruined my perfect evening. Or rather saved me! But that’s not the point. I don’t even know when he got back, I thought he was not supposed to be back until next week. I have his every schedule penned down and even though it is none of his concern, I still felt like a thief caught in the act. My cheeks heat up in embarrassment at how he had pulled me away from my almost kiss with Marcus. "Thanks for interrupting my date," I spat, storming out of the car. Alexandra followed, his expression unreadable. "You embarrassed me, Alexandra," I fumed, striding into the house. "Embarrassed you?" he repeated. "Yes!” We entered the living room, and I whirled to face him. "You have no right to meddle in my personal life," I fired. "You're my boss, nothing more. I'll go out with whomever I wish." Alexandra's eyes narrowed his jawline hardening. He was furious and for a second I could swear I
Alexandra’s POV I paced in front of my mother, frustration boiling within me. "You don't understand, Mother. Nova is my fated mate.” I still couldn’t wrap my head around being fated to an omega. My mother heaved a breath her expression unreadable, “You can’t consider being with an omega, not with your condition” she reasons. I don’t consider accepting Nova and at the same time won’t reject her. I desire her, I’ve not felt such a deep connection and ease for years as I feel with Nova. She’s too innocent for me. I’ll burn her. “The curse? You don’t get it mum, Nova calms the beast within me” Her eyes filled with worry, “An omega can never handle an Alpha, especially not with your…condition, you’ll consume her, destroy her. I won’t let that happen” "I won't hurt Nova," I protested, my voice rising. "She's different. She's strong, resilient—" "Strong?" Mother's laughter was laced with bitterness. "You've seen what happens when an alpha loses control. Nova won't be able to hand
Nova’s POV I feel so out of place. Two days ago, Alexandra brought me to his pack and family's home. I don't know why he had to bring me here. I'm not like them. According to him, i am his person assistant, slash mate who he hasn’t claimed. Who was i kidding? We haven’t spoken about what had hapoened the other night. Alexandra had pleasured me that night, and left me with tons of questions running through my head. He had sucked me dry and left himself hard and unattended to, almost like he regretted his actions and left. He hasn’t made a move to bring the topic up and i didn’t intend to, as it is, i am already dying in shame. The pack members stared at me, their eyes filled with curiosity and suspicion. I'm an outsider, and they don't trust me. Today is Elanor's Mating ceremony, Alexandra’s sister. The whole pack is celebrating, but I'm stuck on the outskirts, watching from afar. I don't belong. My eyes dropped on Alexandra and his mother, the queen of the pack engaged in w
Nova’s POV. Two days. That's how long it's been since the incident. I still can't remember everything, but the pain and fear linger. I lie on the bed, staring at the ceiling as the home doctor examines me. Alexandra's worried eyes never leave mine. Or was it even worry? "Any progress?" Alexandra asks, his deep voice laced with concern. "The healing process is remarkable," Dr. Pierce says. "Nova's recovering at an unprecedented rate. Rare for an Omega." Alexandra's brow furrows. "What do you mean?" "Omegas typically take longer to heal due to their sensitive nature. But Nova... she's an exception." I remain silent, unable to find my voice. The words get stuck in my throat. But even though I was surprised, the fact remains that I am weak. I would have saved myself from getting hurt yet I couldn’t. As weak as I remain, I lay there wallowing in sorrow. “Why can’t she speak or mind link?” Alexandra asks. Dr. Pierce hesitates. "That's harder to say. Trauma can affect people dif
I’m sorry this book will officially be on hold till further notice but in the meantime you can read my other books. Thank you all that supported me and looking forward to seeing your love on my other books.
Lily’s POV I walked into school, still feeling the lingering effects of my heated argument with Noah last night. I hiss at the thought. He had no right to do what he did or say that. I was still fuming about it. I didn't understand why Noah couldn't just leave me alone. He doesn’t want me. He made that clear, so what the hell does he want with me? As I walked down the hallway, I bumped into Tiffany. Oh no! Not today. I wasn’t in the mood for her nonsense, but Tiffany never got the message. She was standing with her squad, looking like she owned the place. "Well, well, well, look what we have here," Tiffany said, raising an eyebrow at me. "If it isn't little Lily, the housemaid." I felt a surge of annoyance at her tone, but I tried to ignore her. ", Tiffany, please, not today. I am not in the mood for this. I tried to walk past her, but she restricted my movement. I groaned. Tiffany wasn't having it. "Listen, Lily, I need to warn you," she said, her voice d
Lily’s POV I walked to the section of the house where Noah lived, feeling uneasy. I had agreed to tutor him, but I wasn't sure if I was ready for this. If I had a choice, I’d be in my room cuddled up and reading one of Catherina Maura’s books, daydreaming about my prince charming. Yet here I was, trapped with a godforsaken arsehole that didn’t deserve my time. As I approached the door, I expected to hear a few noises, yet the place sounded like a cemetery, almost like there was no living creature, but I could pick up Noah’s scent. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. The door opened shortly, and I was graced with the sight of Noah standing before me, shirtless and wearing only a pair of sweatpants. I felt my eyes widen as I took in the sight of his chiseled chest and abs. I couldn't help but stare. Noah raised an eyebrow, a smirk spreading across his face. "You like what you see?" he asked, his voice low and husky. I felt my face heat up with embarrassment, and I q
Lily’s POV. As the class came to an end, I packed up my things and prepared to leave. But just as I was about to walk out the door, the teacher, Mr. Johnson, called out to me and Noah. "Lily, Noah, can I have a word with you both?" he asked his voice firm but friendly. My heart dropped, wondering if I was in trouble or something. I am trying to get through my senior year with no troubles, and a teacher has never stopped me after class. It made me wonder what I did this time. I turned to Noah, wondering what this was about. Noah raised an eyebrow, looking just as curious as I was. We walked over to Mr. Johnson's desk, and he looked at us both with a serious expression. "Noah, I've been looking over your grades, and I have to say, I'm a little disappointed," he said. "You're not performing as well as I know you can." Noah looked down, his eyes avoiding Mr. Johnson's. "Sorry, sir," he muttered. Mr. Johnson nodded. "I know you can do better, Noah. And that's why I'm assigning you
Lily’s POV I walked out of the school building, my eyes falling on Asher waiting for me by his car. "Hey there," he said, smiling. "I'm here to take you home." I raised an eyebrow, feeling a little surprised. "Thanks, Asher," I said, getting into the car. "I didn't expect you to offer me a ride. And it’s fine; let me save you the trouble... I can walk myself home." Asher shrugged, starting the engine. "I figured you might need a ride, and yes, I don’t find it as troublesome dropping a beautiful wolf home," he said. "Plus, I wanted to talk to you about something." My eyes narrowed at him suspiciously. “Am I safe?” He chuckles, “C’mon, let’s get going, princess.” I settled into the car; he shut the door, walking to his side. "So, Lily, have you made any wolf friends?" he asked, glancing at me sideways. I shake my head, “Nope, they seem to be hard to find… a lot harder than I thought” He chuckles, “We’re very few,” he responds. “I can see,” I respond with a nod. Asher nodded
Lily’s POVI walked into the gym class, feeling a sense of dread. The gym has always been my least favorite activity in school.I don’t know about this school, but back home I never miss a chance to ditch school.The news of being Noah’s family maid had circulated real fast, like wildfire, even though I was less bothered; it didn’t feel good being known around here.Especially now that I am a prime target. As I changed into my gym clothes, I could feel the queen bee and her friends staring at me. They were whispering and giggling, and I knew I was in for a long class.“Hey!”Anna greets as she adjusts her hair.“Hey! You look ready for the gym " I complimented seeing as how she looked a little bit too excited.“Well, what can I say?” she giggled.The teacher blew her whistle, and we all gathered around her. "Today, we're going to play dodgeball," she announced, handing out the balls.The queen bee and her minions snickered and whispered to each other, casting dirty glances my way. I
Lily’s POVI woke up feeling refreshed and relaxed. It was the weekend, which meant no school for the next two days. I was looking forward to sleeping in, watching movies, and maybe going for a run or something.Anything to keep me busy.As I rolled out of bed, my phone buzzed with an incoming call from my mom. I smiled, feeling a surge of excitement. I hadn't talked to my mom in a while; it made me miss our usual conversations, which had to do with mostly my rants or sometimes Mom’s.We had a relationship that was beyond a mother-and-daughter bond; we were almost like besties. I was eager to catch up.I slid the answer button.“Hey Mum,” I greet the excitement rolling off my tongue.Our conversation carried on mostly on how Seattle has been treating me.And honestly, without Maya, Adam, and Anna, I’ll probably be packing my bags back home.They make Seattle less, well… what’s the word again? You know what? I am sure you know what I mean.As we talked, I got dressed in a comfy bump
Lily’s POV I kept turning and tossing but still couldn’t get the good sleep I had imagined myself to get after a long day in school. The whole feeling of moving and what had happened lately kept my mind busy with different thoughts. I was left uneasy. Finally puffing out a sigh in frustration, I got up, deciding to clear my head out, probably in the woods. I miss going on our night runs with Dad, even though I still haven’t got my wolf blooming; I ride on him. As I stepped out, the cold air hit my skin, making me feel the chills run down my spine. The moon was full overhead, casting an eerie glow over the trees. As I walked further into it, I knew I was getting a little too far, but my curiosity kept pushing me to walk further. For a moment there, I felt like I was the only one on earth. The silence was serene. My heart dropped as I sighted a group of wolves, their eyes burly and big, looking at me like their prey, which I was. Fuck! Rogues! Shit! *Stop her.* I ran as
