Nova’s POV I gulped down a lump walking towards the door, my anxiety rising. I didn’t want Alexandra to find out about this, not that he didn’t trust me. He knows what sort of friend he has, so I won’t be introverted but rather Julian. I didn’t want to create trouble or make Julian lose his job, not when they had been together since before I met Alexandra. Elena’s laugh filled the air as my hands paused on the knob. I turned to face her, wondering what was funny. “You should have seen your face girl,“ she teased as he laughed and died down. I growled, sending her a playful glare as I walked back to her. "Seriously, Nova, you’d think I believe what I saw. I know how much you have my brother in your heart, and not just that; his smell is completely smudged on you. Wonder how much sex you have when he—“ I hissed in embarrassment, my cheeks swelling, while she laughed at my misery. “I’ll have Julian fired.“ I shake my head vigorously, cutting her off; she couldn’t do that. I me
Alexandra’s POV I walked down from the plane into the fresh air of New York, meeting my face. I breathed in and out as I descended the stairs. Being far away from her felt like an eternity. Her smell, her taste—hell, she was everything I thought of while I was away. Being away felt like torture. My feelings for Nova seem to be moving to the next level. I didn’t just desire her, but the need to protect her, keep her under my watch, and not as much as an arm's length away burnt. Opening up to her wasn’t easy, but knowing that she trusted me even when I didn’t give her any reason to believe me, she did. Damien was a fucking creep and cheat. I wanted her far away from him; he wanted to poison Nova’s mind and take her away from me, and I’d be damned if I let that happen. Not even in his wildest dreams. Nova is mine; she exclusively belongs to me, and I won’t let Damien change that. Jenifer had lived undercover at the Southern Pack with Mason, one of my good friends. I had made s
Alexandra’s POV"The CCTV footages were tampered with,” Noah informs, his head hung low.My brows drew together a mix of frustration and confusion, bottling up as I pulled you from the office chair. I left Nova to rest after the doctor had left; she hadn’t woken up, but the doctor assured me that it most likely was the weariness of her healing process."What do you mean?”"We didn’t get the image of the person that had gone into her office and attacked,” he adds.I hissed, “I don’t care how you do it, but make sure to find me who did this to her, or I swear to God,” I warned."I apologize, Alpha, but we are doing all we can; maybe Nova may tell us—“I cut him off as Elena walked in.I wanted whoever dared to pst my security and attack my mate caught. He needed to suffer for daring to lay a finger on her.He or she must pay."Nova is awake,” Elena informs, sharing a look with Noah.One which I didn't stop to understand walking past them to go see her.I stopped halfway. “Make sure you
Nova’s POVHis kiss burnt down every flame brewing within me as his lips moved roughly against mine, and I froze for a second, unsure of how to react to the sudden action.My claws begin to crawl back, giving him access to kiss me harder. I growled, and he took that as an opportunity and slipped his tongue inside of me.His hands rested on my cheeks as he laid us down before I finally regained my composure, kissing him back as tears streamed down my face.It was soft, and the way it felt had me wanting more. His hands slid around my back, finding the zip, and he slipped his hands into my shirt, his lips never leaving mine.I moaned his name, making him growl and liking the way he sounded.I couldn't think straight."God Nova,” he grunts, biting on my bottom lip.He pulled down my pants; my white see-through lacy pants came into view; his eyes gleamed as he could see a bit of my arousal through the material."Alex,” I moaned, feeling his hands grip hard on my ass."You smell so good, p
Nova’s POV I could feel Alexandra’s frustration these past few days, and I was solely responsible for it. I haven’t been taking it easy on him, and it’s taking a toll on him. I've tried my utmost best to avoid him even at work. Until I know my feelings are being reciprocated, I don't want to get hurt. I couldn’t possibly be in love with him, not when I wasn't sure where my relationship stood with Alexandra and not so sure if he or Damien were to be trusted. Don't get me wrong. Alexandra has been everything and more, and the thought of getting rejected by him made my soul crush. I am not sure I am making sense right now, but to cut the story short, I need to get rid of my feelings for him. He only desires me; what we share is pure loss, and that is it; that’s what it’ll ever be; the sooner I understand that, the better. *He loves us*, my wolf grunts. I hissed, "No, he doesn't.” I spoke out loud, earning weird glances as I stepped into the company. I bite on my bottom lip, rush
Nova’s POV I am not sure if it was the fact that we can get caught that added to the tension brewing within me as Alexandra ate me out or the fact that I had missed how it felt to be sucked by him. Tears began to accumulate at the brim of my eyes. I twisted and turned my head around as I felt his tongue dig in deeper. He sucked on me like his life depended on me. *You taste so fucking good, princess* His husky voice blared in my head, making it hard for me to hold back the moans. "Fuck princess, you’ll be the end of me,” he muttered between a lick. I was panting and trying so hard to die down the moans. Every time Alexandra ate me out, it felt so foreign and new; it got so much better and pleasurable. I'd never wanted to cum so quickly and get it over with before we got caught, but Alexandra didn’t seem to bother if we did. *Cause you’re mine, princess, I don't fucking care if anyone walks in and sees how I claim you* he spoke. It felt beyond my control, as he knew just wher

Nova’s POV. “So Nova, for how long have you been working for Mr. Di Mario?” Emily asks as we place our orders. “A couple of months,” I respond, unsure of how long it has been. “Rumours has it that he is very strict and ruthless; also, he might.” She paused, looking around to make sure no one was snooping around our conversation. My brows furrowed in confusion and curiosity, wanting her to go on, and then I leaned in, ushering her to say, "Yes.” “He’s Gay" Oh, come on! Not her too. I fought the urge to break into fits of laughter, huffing a chuckle before leaning back. “Trust me, he’s not.” She narrows her eyes at me, “How would you know that?” I shrug, fighting the urge to tell her that I have his essence dripping down my pants after our heated session before the meeting. A blush crept, and I hurriedly walk away to avoid suspicions. “I work as his assistant; I'm basically around him all the time; if he has eyes on any person, I'd know that,” I explain, forcing a tight-lip
Nova’s POV I walked into the apartment, my heart heavy with pain and hurt. Bryan was sitting on the couch, looking like someone that has just achieved his goal, which he has. No look of remorse on his face, I’ve never hated someone as much as I do with him now; I felt like grabbing him by the throat and digging my claws into him till he breathes no more. My tear-stained eyes were already beginning to well up. "Nova, I know I hurt you," he said, his voice soft. "I know I rejected you as my mate and broke your heart. But I promise you, I'm going to make things right. I'm going to make sure I mend my mistake. I did a lot of things I wasn’t proud of, but I promise you, Nova, we can always make up for the lost times." I felt a wave of disgust wash over me as I looked at Bryan. How could he think that he could just apologize and everything would be okay? Did he think that I was that easy to forgive? And even if I were to forgive him, we are already done. I am still mated to Alexandr
Nova’s POV Bryan dragged me with him as I tried to wiggle out of his hold; I felt so bad that Alexandra had to witness the kiss. "Bryan, please," I said, my voice shaking. "Let me go. I need to talk to Alexandra and explain things to him." I pleaded desperately, wanting to clear the air. I’m sure he is going to think that my being distant has to do with Bryan, even though it had to do with him, but not in the way he thinks or he should. There’s absolutely nothing going on between me and Bryan, aside from the blackmailing. Bryan turned to me, his eyes cold and warning. "Explain things to him?" he repeated. "What is there to explain, Nova? You're mine now. You belong to me just like you always have and always will be." I felt a surge of irritation at his words. "No, Bryan," I said, trying so hard not to wipe off the smirk dangling on his lips. "I don't belong to you. I belong to Alexandra; he’s my mate and the only person I’d ever love. And right now, I need to talk to Alexandra a
Nova’s POVI stood at the front of the conference room, facing the board of directors. I was presenting a proposal for a new project, and I was trying so hard not to mess this up.I barely had enough sleep last night, and from all that has happened moving out and having to deal with running through my presentation felt overwhelming.As I began to speak, I could feel Alexandra's eyes on me. I refused to look at him, though. I felt guilty and hurt and sad, and I didn't want to see the concern in his eyes.*Fuck princess,* his husky voice rang in my head, making me pause momentarily before I instantly picked up, proceeding to give a good presentation!I tried to focus on the presentation, trying to keep my emotions in check. But it was hard. I could feel Alexandra's gaze on me, and it made me feel like I was going to break down.*You didn’t have to do this to us, Nova,* his voice yet again came.My lips were already beginning to quiver, fighting the urge to yell at him to get out of my h
Nova’s POVI sat on the bed, surrounded by my suitcases and bags. I was packing my things, trying to escape the mess that my life had become.But as I packed, tears streamed down my face. I was crying for Lily, for Alexandra, for myself. I was crying because I felt trapped. After all, I felt like I had no way out.There was nothing I could do about the whole situation, but at the end of the day, there was nothing I could do. I’ve tried every possible way yet to no avail.Damien had been blackmailing me, threatening to kill Lily if I didn't get the property papers from Alexandra. I had been trying to find a way to get the papers without putting anyone in danger, but it seemed like no matter what I did, I was stuck.Alexandra had been trying to reach out to me, but I had been pushing him away. I didn't want him to know what was going on; I didn't want him to get hurt. But it was hard because I missed him so much. I missed his smile, his laugh, his arms around me.And right now I feel if
Nova’s POVI'd been distant from Alexandra lately, and I knew he was worried about me. But I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had been growing inside me.Searching for Lily has occupied most of my time these days. I’ve been trying to reach out to Damien yet to no avail.He only calls when he has some crap to say and then ends the call.My heart breaks every day knowing I failed as a mother; I failed to protect my child.I would never forgive myself if anything happened to Lily.I walked into my office, trying to clear my head after my meeting. But before I could even sit down, Bryan burst in."Not today, Bryan," I said, trying to dismiss him.But Bryan's expression was grim. "I know about Lily," he said, his voice low and menacing.I felt a surge of anger and fear. "What are you talking about?" I tried to play dumb.But Bryan wasn't having it. "Don't lie to me, Nova," he spat. "I know all about Lily. And I know you've been hiding it from me."I laughed, trying to deflect

Nova’s POVI walked into the room, my heart heavy with worry. Karen lay on the bed, her body battered and bruised. We were alone; Alexandra had been in search of the person responsible since last night when our date was interrupted.Karen was attacked last night, and part of me hoped that Lily was okay; she wasn’t involved in any of this.I almost broke the news to Alexandra yesterday, but we were interrupted.I sat down beside her, taking her hand in mine. I could feel her pain and suffering, and it broke my heart."Karen, you’re going to be okay," I whispered, trying to comfort her. "I'm going to help you," I say as my lips tremble.Karen's eyes flickered open, and she looked up at me with tears in her eyes."Nova, I'm so sorry," she whispered, her voice barely audible. "I tried to protect Lily; I did. But he took her. I'm so sorry." My heart dropped.I bolt up as my worst nightmare has come to reality.NoNoNoIt couldn’t be, no, please.“No!” I sobbed, my heart squeezing in fear
Nova’s POVI stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. I couldn't help but blush as I thought about my date with Alexandra tonight.He had asked me out last night and promised to make today memorable; he felt it was needed for us to bond, judging by the past few days.For the past two days, everything has been perfect. Alexandra has been showering me with love and attention, making up for the lost time, as he calls it. Alexandra was low-key the sweetest person.If anyone had told me that the cold-hearted beast would someday warm up to this, I’d probably laugh it off his or her face, but here I am.Alexandra told me he wanted to take me out tonight, and I couldn't wait to see what he had planned; the thought alone made a wave of adrenaline surge through my veins.My wolf growls, and I giggle.This feels like a fresh start for both of us, one that is much needed. Since both feelings are mutual, we needed to bond more and get to understand each other.I put on the dress he
Nova’s POVI stood at the sink, washing the dishes from breakfast. My mind wandered, lost in thoughts of the past few days. Damin’s words from two days ago lingered in my head as I tried to shake it off, feeling uneasy.His thoughts have been keeping me up, which is very bothersome. I didn’t like the fact that his words get to me this much, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn’t feeling alert.As I scrubbed a particularly stubborn stain, I felt a familiar warmth on my hips. I turned to see Alexandra standing behind me, his hands wrapped around my waist.I was too lost in thought to have picked up his smell or see him coming.My heart dropped, missing how he felt his presence. It’s only been a few weeks since I last saw him, but it felt like ages. I didn’t realise how much I've missed him till ‘now.Alexandra's hands tightened around my waist, pulling me closer to him. I felt his chest against my back, his warm breath on my neck."Good morning," he whispered, his voice sending shivers d
