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

Nova’s POVI strolled through the park with Amelia, enjoying the warm sun on my face. Lily's laughter echoed from the swings, carefree and joyful.Amelia and I settled onto a bench, watching my little girl soar."Spill it, Nova," Amelia said, her eyes sparkling. "What's going on? I haven’t been able to reach you for days, what’s going on?."I took a deep breath. "It's just... everything with Alexandra Di Mario."Amelia's brow furrowed. "What do you mean?"I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding slipping my hands into the pocket of my jacket and pulling out my wedding ring.She sucked in a breath, shocked.“Don’t tell me”I smiled nervously, “That I am married to Alexandra Di Mario?”She nods still not uttering a word as though digesting the news.I chuckled, “Well then, I am”Amelia's eyes widened. "What? That's insane!""I know, right?" I shook my head."How did that even happen?" Amelia asked.We got back from Seattle two days ago and I had decided to spend the weekend with L
Nova’s POV. I stood confidently before the boardroom, my presentation materials at the ready. As I began, I felt Alexandra's eyes on me. Like a weight, his gaze lingered. Memories of yesterday night came rushing back to me making my cheeks heat up. I have been a little bit more confident around him. My motive is to push him to his limit till he Marks me. I was playing with fire and I didn’t care I was going to get burnt, as long as we burned together and broke the curse, I was willing to risk it. My nerves fluttered, but I pushed on. "Good morning, everyone," I started. "Today, I'll outline our quarterly marketing strategy." I clicked the projector, and my slides appeared. "Mss Sanchez, can you explain the rationale behind this campaign?" one director asked. "Absolutely," I replied. "Our research indicates a shift in consumer behavior. This campaign targets those changes." Alexandra's gaze never wavered. I sensed his intensity. I knew he was doing it on purpose but I
Nova’s POV I stood before the mirror, gazing at my reflection. The red gala dress hugged every curve of mine, showcasing my figure in a way that made me feel both elegant and exposed. I can only imagine how much Alexandra had spent on it. It must have cost a fortune. He had sent it to me in the morning after leaving for work. He asked me to stay back as there was not much work to do in the office. So here I was getting ready to be picked up my 8 pm. My eyes flicker to the clock it is almost time for some reason I felt afraid. To the world, I was only his secretary and god knows the hating remarks I’d get tonight after being spotted with Alexandra Di Mario. I sniffed on the dress, the subtle scent of his cologne lingered on the fabric, sending shivers down my spine. I felt pretty, but also vulnerable. The dress seemed to bear more than just my skin. A knock coming through the door snaps me out of my train of thought. “Come in” I ushered. The maid walked in, “Sir sent for yo
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
