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
Nova’s pov I stepped into the gazebo, surrounded by vibrant flowers and the soothing sound of the fountain. Karen, Alexandra's mother, smiled warmly as she poured tea. "Nova, dear, thank you for joining me," she said. "Thank you for inviting me," I replied, taking a seat. Her gaze locked onto mine, and I sensed a hidden agenda. I knew something was up and it was odd that the woman was less hostile than she had been since I got here. She is up to something. "Nova, I'm sure you're aware that Alexandra's...actions have been unacceptable, how has it almost cost you your life?" she began. My mind flashed back to that terrifying night. The thought of how his cold blue eyes had held so much meaning came rushing back like a wave of nostalgia. I had never seen Alexandra so aggressive. I haven't seen Alexandra since and I am not sure if I am even ready to see him anytime soon. The fear still lingered. "Yes, ma'am," I said, my voice steady. Karen leaned forward, her eyes intense.
Alexandra’s POVI collapsed onto the floor, exhausted from the long run, while transforming back to my human form. My jawline throbbed, still adjusting to its human shape.But the physical pain was nothing compared to the guilt consuming me.Nova's terrified eyes haunted me. I'd almost hurt her, lost control, and succumbed to my wolf’s fury.*We almost hurt them*, my wolf corrected."God, what have I done?" I muttered, burying my face in my hands.I'd been avoiding Nova, ashamed of my monstrous act. The distance was eating me up and leaving nothing but longing. I wanted her near me so desperately, yet I was too dangerous for her fragility.I want to have her in my arms; her lavender scent is so soft and calming.Dammit!She is the only wolf keeping me sane, yet I had almost hurt her.With a snarl, I slammed my fist into the dresser, shattering the wood. The sound echoed through the room as I unleashed my rage.Vases crashed, pictures tore, and furniture splintered. My anger ravaged t
Nova’s POV.I stood outside Karen’s room, my heart racing. Our previous meeting is still fresh in my mind, her words echoing: "Stay away from my son."I decided to meet with her and confront her about Alexandra’s curse and how I felt bad for him; it wasn’t his fault.I could tell he was avoiding me; I hadn’t seen him around since the incident, and honestly, I don’t blame him; having to carry such a burden around must be tough.Taking a deep breath, I entered the room.Karen looked up, surprise flickering across her face. "Nova, I didn't expect you to return.""I couldn't ignore your warning, Karen," I said, my voice firm.She leaned back, a calculating glint in her eye. "I assumed you'd see reason. You're here to accept my offer, then?""Offer?" I repeated, shaking my head. "No. I'm here to talk about Alexandra."Her expression faltered, and for a moment, I saw a glimmer of unease."You know, don't you?" she asked, her voice low."Know what?" I probed.Her eyes narrowed. "About the cu
Nova’s POVI walked through the woods, the crunch of leaves beneath my feet the only sound breaking the silence. I needed to clear my head to process everything that had happened lately.Alexandra still hasn’t returned to visit. Kaisa had restricted all possible ways for us to meet, and I know she was doing it on purpose.She wouldn’t let me speak with him, claiming I needed to learn to control myself before I would be allowed to return, and I wouldn't even blame her.So far, the training has been going very well. I am now able to heal wounds that aren’t mine. The sudden change that strikes me when enraged, I can control it, maybe not fully, but I was able to do well with it.As I turned a corner, I saw a figure standing in the distance. As I drew closer, I realized it was Damien.My heart sank. What was he doing here?The last time I saw him was since the incident at my office.Damien's eyes locked onto mine, a sly smile spreading across his face, but deep down he still held a grudge
Nova’s POVI woke up in a familiar place. Kaisa's cottage. I'd been here before when I stayed with Claus and his mate. Kaisa sat beside me, her eyes warm with concern."Nova, welcome back," she said softly.I rubbed my temples, trying to remember what happened."What... what happened to me?" I asked, my voice hoarse.Kaisa's expression turned serious. "Your powers are losing control, Nova. You were in a state of frenzy when Alexandra brought you here."I sat up, alarm rising within me."What do you mean?""Your Enigma wolf came with some dark energy after you broke the curse; that’s what we had tried to warn you about, but you didn’t adhere," Kaisa explained. "It's like your powers are feeding off your emotions. You need to learn to control them, Nova, before it's too late. You are slowly losing yourself, and I am afraid it’s getting worse."I felt a chill run down my spine.Too late?What did Kaisa mean?I looked at her, searching for answers.But Kaisa's expression was grim."We'll
Nova’s POVI sensed Alexandra's footsteps approaching the room. My heart racing, I rushed to lock the door.I know he’d get mad, but right now I needed space away from him. Away from both of them.The reality was crashing down on me, and it was too heavy to weigh on my shoulder. Bryan’s presence has not only reminded me of my past scars but also of how much of an undeserving weakling I am.It makes me question why I was ever mated to an Alpha. Did Alexandra have to be punished by having me as his mate?I am an enigma, one that couldn’t control her powers. I could feel the tension within me rising.But I bit on my lower lip, trying to bite on my lower lip.Just in time.As the lock clicked, our mind link started.*Nova, open the door.* Alexandra's deep voice resonated in my mind.I couldn't hold back. Sobs wracked my body.*Why should I?* I replied, tears streaming down my face.*Nova, what's wrong? Open this door, we need to talk about what happened* Alexandra's concern filtered throu
Alexandra’s POVI sat at my desk, buried under paperwork. My meeting was in 10 minutes. I kept running my gaze around the wall clock here and there so as not to get too engrossed.My mind suddenly wandered to Nova. Her smile crept into my thoughts, and I couldn't help but smile too. God! That woman would be the end of me. She made me feel the way I have never felt before—so real and compassionate. With Nova, everything is different—her smile, her laugh, the way she turns me on and satisfies me. God, it made me want to have her all to myself, all the time.I was glad I'd told her I loved her. God, I couldn't do without my mate; the taste of her was ecstasy, one I wouldn’t bother drowning myself in all the time.Just thinking about her made me feel alive. My wolf grunted, and I scoffed.Who would have thought that whole me could be a lover boy, or man rather?How ironic.I stood up, straightening my tie as the clock ticked.Time for my meeting.Perfect timing.Emily, my new employe
Nova’s POVI stormed out of the office, my heart racing. Seeing Emily with Alexandra, helping him with his tie, was too much. I knew Emily's motives weren't innocent.Especially since she had made it clear to me the other day that she was after him, I should have seen her coming.I should have had her fired even though that wouldn’t be fair, but anyone standing in the way of my happiness shouldn’t remain.Anger and jealousy burnt within me. How could Alexandra not see through her?Or was he also infatuated by her, just like she is with him?But he loves me; he said it himself; he couldn’t possibly be giving her any attention. *Calm down, she was only helping him* My wolf gruntsSee, this is why I said she was never with Mez.I rushed down the hallway, blinded by tears. I don't know if it was the fact that Bryan was back and he is Alexandra’s Nephew or the fact that as.Suddenly, I collided with Bryan."Nova, wait!" Bryan exclaimed, grasping my arms.I shook him off. "Leave me alone,
Nova’s POV I sat at my desk, trying to focus on work. The door swung open, and Bryan walked in, unannounced. "Bryan, what do you want?" I asked, irritation creeping into my voice. I couldn’t believe that Bryan was Alexandra’s Nephew. It Seeing Bryan has not reminded me of the past I have been trying to move into, but rather the memories of what we once shared came rushing down to me like a wave of nostalgia. And now with Bryan here, I don't exactly know how I feel about it. "Nova, we need to talk," he said, his eyes locked on mine. "We have nothing to talk about, Bryan. Please leave," I said firmly, even though my emotions were beginning to get the better of me. But Bryan didn't budge. "I know about you and Uncle Alexandra," he said, his tone accusatory. My eyes narrowed. "What about us?" "It's impossible," Bryan said, shaking his head. "You can't be married to him. It's not possible." My anger flared. "And why should you care?" I spat. "You rejected me, Bryan. You made
Nova’s POV“We’re going to get late for work,” I whined, trying to pull out from Alexandra’s firm grip.He shrugs. “So what? We’re not going to get fired; may I need to remind you who the boss is?” He defends.I could feel his hardness rub at my stomach, and I didn't need to be told that he wanted to go for another round before we left for work, and I would be lying if I said I wasn't turned on too.I smiled mischievously, moving on top of him. He grunts as my wetness gets in contact with his hardness.He sat up gripping on my waist as I moved slowly, my breasts jiggling, liking the way he was admiring my physique with his eyes.He reached for a bud pushing on it, and my head fell back.“Ugnh… Since you are the boss, then we may as well have some,” I state, a sly smile dangling on my lips.“Fuck baby… Yes, you look so fucking beautiful,” he states, pulling me for a kiss.He bit on my lower lip, his grip on my waist tightening, moving me a little bit faster.Our tongues were at battle
Nova’s POVHe placed me down on the floor as our kiss broke."Get down, princess,” he orders, his eyes never leaving mine. I felt more intense and turned on as I kneeled to the ground, licking my lips with a smirk and tugging at the corner.I love the effect I have on him. "Yes, Alpha,” I say obediently. I teased, knowing how much he gets turned on by that.His eyes flashed with adoration and lust. Without another word, he guided me further down to my knee, his hot palm igniting a hot trill.His zipper came down almost quickly, and he pulled himself free—thick, heavy, flushed with heat, already slick with pre-cum that glistened in the low light. His cock was hard and angry, the tip swollen and throbbing like it had a mind of its own. He wrapped a fist around his length, stroking it slowly, his other hand tangling in my hair to pull me closer. I could feel his heat and smell the raw, heady musk of him—a scent that crawled inside me and curled around my brain like smoke."Fuck princess…
