Lily’s POVI walk back into the school building, feeling conflicted and turned on at the same time. My heart is hammering in my chest as I think about those heated moments with Noah a while ago.I was still in shock, and I felt stupid at the same time; the way my body reacts to Noah is alarming, and I hated it.I try to shake off the feelings, but I can't. I feel like I'm in a daze, like I'm walking around in a dream.He was using me, and even though I was letting him, it made me feel stupid.He made it clear he doesn’t want me, and just when things are getting cool with Asher, he steps in and acts like he owns me. As I turn a corner, I bump into Asher. He's standing by his locker, with his eyes narrowed at me."Hey!Is everything okay?" he asks, eyeing me carefully.I nod, trying to play it cool as I bite my bottom lip, trying so hard to fight back the tears that threatened to spill. "Yeah, everything's fine."But Asher doesn't look convinced. "You sure? You look a little...off."Of

Nova’s POV "Fuck!" "Ungh... Right there!" I moaned, eagerly riding him harder as he clutched my waist firmly forcing me to meet his trust. He flipped me over wanting to be in control. His trust became intense and more vigorously as he fucked me, almost as though it wasn't my first time. "Bryan—" I cried out reaching my peak but his stroke became slower making my wolf growl in anticipation. He said nothing, just pinching and pulling my left nipple urging the bud to harden. "Fuck!" I whimpered, meeting each of his thrusts desperately. "Please!" I begged even more wanting to release but Bryan was denying me of that. The closer I get the slower his moves become before he picks up his pace. This wasn't our first time having sex but somehow today's own was different, it was raw and hard, almost like he was savoring every bit of it as though it would be his last. "Please, faster" I continue to beg. He smirked leaning in for a kiss. He bit my lower lip seeking entrance whic
Nova’s POV "He called us a whore!" My wolf hissed. I pulled myself up and wiped my tears. His words ringing in my head. I took the direction of the local motel and started dragging my feet in the rain. I refused to think about the consequences of my actions. My relationship with Bryan has always been a secret it was the only thing he had ever asked from me, is to make sure nobody ever finds out about us and I didn't have a problem with that. It all made sense to me now. I was angrily burning with desire and I wanted nothing rather to satisfy it. I wanted to get every thought and piece of Bryan out of me, I wanted to forget about him even if it was only for a moment. My feet stopped at the entrance, and I pushed it open. The place was bubbling with enough wolves searching for a place to relieve their desires. I walked to the counter where the matron sat and raised my head to her. "Good evening, ma'am," I said above the noise. "You are soaked, darling. How may I
Alexandra's POV The large woman at the counter was shocked to see me in the place, but she diverted her eyes and plastered on a smile. "What may I offer you tonight?" She inquired, bouncing her huge breasts in front of me. My wolf rolled in disgust, but I calmed it down. "Do you have a new girl, someone that hasn't been working here for long?" I asked instead. She paused her bouncing and smiled. "I know just the right girl." She scribbled something in her book and then looked up once again and said, "Come with me." She stepped out of her counter and waltzed ahead of me to a door by the side of the pub. It opened to a staircase, and she went up to the last floor. "She is in the last room," she pointed out. "It will cost a hundred dollars," she said, stretching her hand in my face. "Sure." I nodded as I dug through my pockets and pulled out a bill for her. "Have a good night!" She squeaked happily as she went down the stairs, leaving me alone. The bulb in the corridor
Nova’s POV I was left breathless and flushed. Even as he walked out of the room in a hurry. He had almost marked me! The realization made my body feel cold. There was something about him—something about what we just did. My wolf could not put a finger on it because we were still recovering from our rejection, but there was a pull. Quickly, I grabbed my clothes, which were now almost dried. I put them on and ran downstairs. "Where is my star girl going so fast?" The matron asked as I got out of the door. "I... I..." I was panting for breath, unable to bring out real sentences. "Do you know who you just slept with?" She asked, and I shook my head. I didn't want to know who it was, it was supposed to be a one-night stand and it should remain like that. We both had an of fun and that was it. I was only here to clear my head and nothing more. "Listen, this was a mistake... I shouldn't have come here." I whispered and then ran out. I couldn't go home, not after what h
Nova’s POV. Five years later... I pulled up to Amelia’s cozy house, Lily chatting excitedly in the backseat. Amelia has always been kind and helpful to us since we moved here five years ago. Lily felt comfortable with her, so I knew she would be well taken care of. "Mommy, I'll see you tomorrow, right?" she asked, her big brown eyes sparkling. "Baby. Be good for Amelia, okay?" I replied, smiling. Lily nodded, already distracted by her favorite cartoon playing on Amelia’s tablet. I hugged her tight, inhaling her sweet scent. "Love you, kiddo," I whispered. "Love you too, Mommy," she replied, squirming free. Amelia smiled warmly as she took Lily's hand. "Stay safe babes." I glanced at the clock – 8:45 PM. My shift at Eclipse Nightclub started at 9 PM. Lily is unaware of my job at the bar, and I intended to keep it that way, wanting to shield her from the realities of that environment. My job at the bar paid well. It was a necessary sacrifice to ensure Lily had
Nova’s PovI rushed to Amelia's apartment my heart rate escalating with each step I took. Tears streamed down my face as I replayed the night's events.That man... those icy blue eyes... the way he'd commanded Julian to release me.I wiped away tears, taking a deep breath. My wolf and I were still shaken.There was no denying it – he was an Alpha. His presence exuded dominance, power, and control. I'd never encountered anyone like him before.Four years in this city, and I'd never met another wolf. It was as if I was the only one of my kind, hiding in plain sight.But he... he was different.As I climbed the stairs to Amelia's apartment, my mind whirled.Who was he? What was his name? And why did he seem so familiar?My mind ran with different thoughts as I marched to Amelia’s doorstep.There is something about him, that I can’t seem to fathom. Just what is it?I pushed open the door, and Amelia enveloped me in a warm hug."Nova, what's wrong?" she asked, concern etched on her face.I

Lily’s POV I walk into the cafeteria with Anna, scanning the room for our usual spot. We're about to sit down when Asher steps up with a smile that never makes my heart skip a beat. "Hey, Lily, you're going to sit with us today," he says, taking the tray of food from me. I raise an eyebrow, taken aback. "Uh, I don't know, Asher. Anna and I were just about to—"He didn’t let me finish, “Sorry Anna, I will be stealing her away for today; I hope you don’t mind,” he asked. I shared a knowing look with Anna hoping she’d say no, but she only wiggled her brows at me with a mischievous smile dancing on her lips. “Of course you can; that won’t be a problem,” she responds. “Asher, but—“He beats me to it: “No buts; your friend already said yes, and if she doesn’t have a problem, you shouldn’t either. Please just come with me.” I try to protest, but Asher takes my arm and guides me toward the table where the rest of the guys are sitting. Noah, Liam, and Damien are all present.
Lily’s POV I was in my room alone a while ago when Maya stepped in and asked me to help her with her homework. We're working on a math problem, and Maya is struggling to understand it. I'm trying to explain it to her in a way that makes sense. I can see that hating math runs in the family blood because it is the same subject Noah has a problem with, but he is getting the hang of it now. I guess. Just as Maya is starting to get it, Noah walks into the room. "Hey, Maya, can I talk to Lily for a minute?" he asks. Maya looks up at me. Her brows furrowed in confusion because she was aware that Noah and I don’t get along so well; she looked a bit confused. But I nod. "It's okay, Maya. I'll be right back." But before Maya can get up, Noah says, "No, Maya, I mean you should excuse us and go to your room, he asks impatiently.Whatever it was he wanted to discuss could wait; right now I was helping Maya, and I didn’t want to be interrupted, or should I say, I wanted to use her as
Lily’s POVIt's been a week since that heated session with Noah. I still get tingling at the thought of it; I didn’t miss any chance I got to avoid Noah.And I could say I was doing a very good job. On the other hand, Asher and I were building a mutual understanding kind of relationship even though I asked him to take things slow, but so far I like him.I won’t say love, but like rather, he was better than Noah.Nicer, you mean... my instinct protests.Yeah! Whatever.I'm in the kitchen with Aunt Jess, making breakfast. She's scrambling eggs while I'm toasting bread.Aunt Jess turns to me and asks, "So Lily, how's school going? How has Seattle been treating you?" "It's going okay, Aunt Jess," I reply, trying to sound casual as though I wasn’t reminiscing about my heated moment with her son.Gosh! Aunt Jess smiles and says, "That's great, sweetie. I'm glad to hear that. Just then, Noah walks into the kitchen, shirtless and wearing only sweatpants. I feel my face heat up as I try
Lily’s POVI stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my outfit for what felt like the hundredth time. I was wearing a pair of dark-wash jeans, a white shirt, and a black jacket.I didn’t want to overdress; I just wanted to wear something casual and comfortable, and this was what I could find. This is a friendly date, nothing more. looked good, I checked my phone for what felt like the hundredth time, waiting for Asher's call. The only reason I agreed to this date is because I wanted to provoke Noah. I wanted him to know that he didn’t have a say in my life. My thoughts come short when the door bursts open, revealing a tempered scowl on his face. "What is it, Noah?" I asked, trying to sound casual. "You're not going anywhere," Noah said, his voice firm.I raised an eyebrow, feeling a surge of annoyance. "What are you talking about?" I asked. "You're not going on a date with Asher," Noah said, his eyes flashing with anger. I laughed at his audacity. "You have no ri
Hello everyone! For everyone that supported this book, I’d like to say a big thank you. I would like you to drop a honest review with regards to this book, it will mean a lot to me.
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
