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 stood before the mirror, wearing the elegant white wedding dress, adorned with delicate werewolf-inspired lace. The full moon symbol on the bodice seemed to gleam in the soft light.My reflection showed a fearsome face; my heart betrayed my doubts."Am I doing the right thing?" I whispered.Marrying Alexandra, a cursed Alpha, meant embracing his pack, and danger came from being his Luna.But a part of me was willing to take the risk. He may not have shown me direct kindness, but he has helped me out of a situation a number of times, and deep down, I could tell how much he cares about me, even though he is terrible at showing.But then again, it’s the thought that counts.As I pondered, Karen entered the room."Nova, are you sure about this? You can always back out of it,” she asked.I turned to face her."I don't know," I admitted.She walked to me, taking her hands into mine and settling us down."This mating ceremony binds you to Alexandra forever. I won’t assure you’ll
Nova’s POVWe returned to Alexandra's penthouse, the mating ceremony still fresh in my mind.The weight of the silver necklace, adorned with a wolf's head pendant, felt heavy around my neck.As we entered the dimly lit bedroom, Alexandra's silence unnerved me."Alexandra?" I ventured.He ignored me, shedding his jacket."Alexandra, please talk to me," I tried again.His eyes flashed with anger.My heart-developed memories of how he had almost hurt me the other night came flashing back sending shivers run down my spine."You didn’t do what you were told, Omega," he growled.My heart sank."That's all this was to you?" I asked.Alexandra's gaze pierced."What is this to you Nova? A joke," he spat.I stepped forward.“I just wanna—“He cut me off, “I don’t need your fucking help!” His beast roared as his voice echoed around the walls.My wolf purred in fear.“You don’t understand that by doing this you have not only put yourself in danger but—“ he paused.“What!?” I asked pushing in.I p
