***TRIGGER WARNING******RAPE*** Novalie POV The flight back to Midnight Moon seemed alot shorter than the flight to school now that the four of us were talking and getting along again. I had become accustomed to Eddie's relationship with Abby and I was happy that he was happy with her. We landed to find Beta waiting for us to take us home. We laughed and joked the whole car ride there, excited to be home for the holiday. I had missed Aunt Marianne's cooking so much, and was excited that she would soon be cooking us a large Thanksgiving feast. When we got to the packhouse we all jumped out of the car, and I grabbed my bags from the back before hauling them down to my little basement room. Aunt Marianne was still in the kitchen cleaning up after dinner, so after I sat my stuff down I went to see if I could help her. "Hey lovey, welcome home! I missed you! How's the hand?" She gripped me in a tight hug as she spoke. "It's good! I'm good. I missed you too. I missed your cooking m
Xavier POV As we pulled up to the Midnight Moon packhouse and got out of the car, Lunar was instantly on alert telling me that something wasn't right. I relayed the message to my parents and our Gamma, Peter who had been waiting at the jet for us. I watched as all their eyes glowed momentarily before subsiding, telling me that their wolves were alert and just below the surface. When we walked into the packhouse the air was electric and full of anger. Not just any anger, no there was pure Alpha rage radiating through the house, and not an Omega, or any other wolf in sight which was strange considering that it was only 9pm on a Friday night. Alpha Eduardo came out of a hallway to greet us, with his Luna following close behind. "Alpha Henry, Luna Anne, Xavier, to what do we owe the pleasure of this surprise visit?" Alpha Eduardo asked cheerily, but his spiked heart rate told me that he was internally panicking at our surprise arrival. Before Henry could explain the reason for our vis
Novalie POV I woke up startled and afraid for what the guards had in store for me, so I kept my eyes closed and pretended to be asleep for a while as I listened to what was happening around me. The first thing I noticed was the smell, and I knew I wasn't in the dungeons anymore. I guess they had beat me so bad that I needed to come to the pack hospital to be taken care of as I recognized the beeping of the machines and the smell of different cleaners. I had to calm my heart rate as the door to my room creaked open and heavy footsteps shuffled in. Then I was hit with the scent of Sandalwood and Cedar with just a hint of peppermint and my body and mind instantly calmed, allowing me to crack open my swollen eyes. "Nova, you're awake finally. Don't try to talk or move. Your jaw has been wired shut to heal, and you have quite a few fractured ribs. But you're safe now, and you're going to be OK." Xavier bent down to my eye level as he spoke softly to me, gently brushing my hair out of my
Xavier POV It was a few days after Nova's freak out when the doctors finally said we could take her to her room in the packhouse. She had had to be sedated that day, and ever since she'd just been quiet and uninterested no matter how much I tried to engage her. I could tell she liked watching the snow fall outside though so I sat there quietly in her room, regardless of whether she wanted me to or not. The doctors had said that being here where she belonged was helping her heal quicker, and that they weren't sure but they thought being near Lunar helped too, so I was there, in her room, everyday. All of her other fractures had healed, and they had taken another x-ray before we left this evening to check the status of her jaw. She had healed significantly over the past two weeks. Her swelling and bruising was gone, all her fractures except her jaw had healed, and if it wasn't completely healed already, her jaw wouldn't be far behind. I was excited for her to see her room on the Alpha
Novalie POV Being stuck in that hospital bed had made me so depressed. I was even getting frustrated having Xavier around all the time because what was the point really? It wasn't like I could communicate with him. It wasn't until I got released from the pack hospital and was able to step outside that I started feeling hopeful about the future again, but even then I wasn't sure about my new place here at Hidden Woods. My new father had barely come to see me, and when he did he barely ever said anything, always speaking more to Xavier than he did me. But, I got dressed and left with my new family anyway, because what else was I going to do? As we walked along the streets of what Xavier had told me was only one of the little towns within the pack borders, I was in awe. The snow crunched beneath my feet and the cold air nipped at my exposed skin. I had never really been outside of the packhouse at Midnight Moon, so I wasn't really aware of how much of a community a pack should be. Sure,
Novalie POV They all left me to my own devices in my new room and I couldn't have been happier. They had all gone down to dinner, but since I couldn't eat or talk they allowed me to stay behind and get used to my new bedroom. I sat down on my bed before stretching out to lay across it. So this is what having a real home and family felt like? I had so many cool new things to explore that I was kinda overwhelmed by it all. Shortly after I laid down several text messages dinged on my phone. They were all from 'Dad' so I opened them to find several different messages......012476-Your security code. It's your mother's birthday, Marianne gave it to me. This code will get you into every secure door in the packlands. Alphas have full access. ... Tomorrow we need to get you a pack ID, what time would you like to go? ... Also, there's juice smoothies in your mini fridge and some in the refrigerator as well. Straws should be on top of the mini. Anne says there's bone broth in the kitchen frid
Xavier POV Nova and I spent the next week binge watching 'Game of Thrones' because she had never had the time or ability to watch it before. Once I turned it on though, she was glued to the TV. We did our school work while we watched, and since Nova would start Alpha classes next term, she had a whole semester's worth of general Alpha classes to catch up on before Christmas. But, being the little genius she is, she flew through them. All of the Alpha classes are done over a website the school uses, so once her books and all the paperwork with her login for the Alpha Portal on the website came, she got to work completing assignments. I was surprised at how quickly she moved through her assignments, and when I told her I was here if she needed any help, she laughed and sent me a text telling me that most of this was common sense. By the time Monday morning rolled around she had completed all of her assignments for all of her Alpha classes that she had to make up to resume in Alpha co
Novalie POV My phone started buzzing as the sun was coming up, so I grabbed it to see who could possibly be calling me that early in the morning. It was Alana, at approximately 6:45am. I answered the phone with a groggy hello, and she told me to meet her in the great room in fifteen minutes so we could start my training regimen. I agreed and hung up the phone before rolling over to see Xavier passed out in my green armchair that he had pulled next to the bed. I let out a silent giggle as I got up to get dressed. I put on the dark green yoga capris and matching sports bra top, grabbing a zipper hoody from the hanger because there was a slight chill in the Alpha apartment this morning. I unzipped it and pulled it over my shoulders as I grabbed a pair of matching tennis shoes from the shoe shelf and put them on. I silently made my way back out into the bedroom and grabbed my phone off the charger before exiting the bedroom as quietly as I could. As I undid my braid to put my hair in a
Novalie POV I woke up the next morning to Xavier's muscular arms tightening around me, pulling me closer as his chest vibrated with Lunar's deep purring. In his sleeping state, he dipped his head into the crease of my neck and took a deep inhale before kissing my collar bone, where my mate's mark would lay one day, ever so softly. I couldn't help the sigh that I released as his lips grazed over my most tender area, wanting, no, needing to feel them pressed against my own once more. Apparently he felt the same way as he lifted his head, his bright sparkling green eyes looking down at me just before he pressed his lips to mine. We really were playing with fire, but if it meant I could feel his lips against mine, I didn't fear the burn. Today we would go shopping for his tuxes and my dresses with his mom, who was more excited than both of us combined to be doing so. Xavier had told me all about how his mother had always wanted a daughter to do these types of things with, and how it was
Xavier POV The days seemed to fly by as I found myself dreading each day that brought us closer to returning to school. The only thing that gave me comfort in knowing we would be returning to school soon was Nova's new found popularity. It seemed like all the ranked girls wanted to be her friend now that she was not only an Alpha female, but an incredibly powerful one at that. Ofcourse all the Alpha guys that she had used her aura on had started gossiping about it and word had quickly spread about how her aura was more powerful than most Alpha males. The only ranked girls who weren't lined up to kiss her ass these days were Lauren & Jocelyn, but that's probably because they knew she would never even consider being friends with the likes of them. But, the only ranked girls she bothered to speak to or be friendly with were Heather, Abby, and the Beta girl from her old pack. The rest of them she blatantly ignored, just as they had all done the many times she had been harassed and bulli
Novalie POV I was surprised at Alana's nonchalant demeanor towards the ever developing relationship between Xavier and I. She still spent Spring break hanging out with us, but now that she knew, we were able to openly flirt and cuddle while she was around. We hadn't kissed since that first night, and though I wanted to kiss him terribly, I didn't want to push his boundaries of whatever was going on between us. Besides, I had a boyfriend, if you could call him that with him being on the other side of the Atlantic. Xavier had his own thoughts on Charles, and though he didn't openly communicate them, he made sure to tell me how Alpha guys would be looking to secure me, the only daughter of one of the most influential Alphas in the world, with one of the largest packs, as their Luna for the alliance that mating with me would provide them with. What I wasn't prepared for was the sad smile he gave me when I told him that I had no intention on being anyone's Luna, that I had goals and plan
Hey friends! I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful season change! I know that things have been chaotic for everyone recently, myself included, but I wanted to drop by and let you know that I haven't forgotten about this story. I've taken the month to adapt to my new job and my new schedule, but I intend to resume this story next month. The plan is to produce a chapter a day and hopefully have the story finished by the end of November. I hope to be able to finish two of my books by the end of the year. So, I know it's been a little while, but I appreciate you guys hanging in there with me while I made these necessary life changes for myself. Afterall, this is the season of change! Wishing you all well & excited to get back to our stories 🤍🗝🦋
Xavier POV The beginning of the second term flew by, and having Novalie in the Alpha dorm made it much more bearable. She and Heather became friendly, just as I knew they would, and the three of us spent most of our time together. She was still having nightmares though, and she would occasionally end up in my room because of them. Ofcourse we always took advantage of the situation and used the opportunity to cuddle one another, but she hadn't kissed me since that night, nor I her. The way I felt about her had become manageable now that we were both aware of the situation and I was quite grateful for it. I felt free and unburdoned when it came to Novalie, though if I spent too much time away from her I easily became quickly agitated. By the time we made it home for our first day of spring break it was late in the evening, but I was happy to finally have Novalie all to myself. The packhouse was empty from the late hour as we walked through it and up to our rooms. Our parents followed
Hey guys! Hopefully, you all know me well enough to know that I am very spiritual. I believe in Astrology and that the energy of the planets have a large impact on our lives. So, I decided to extend my break through the Mercury Retrograde. Since Mercury is the planet of Communication and Technology, it just made sense to extend my break until the retrograde was over to avoid any confusion, misteps, or issues. I hope you all can understand and are excited to get back to our story of Nova and Xavier. I am excited for you all to see where this story takes us! Also, I am starting a new job soon, so updates may be a little scattered for now until I get into the groove of things. But, they will begin again on Monday, September 18th. I'm looking to have this story completed by Thanksgiving though! Thanks for hanging in there with me, and please feel free to check out my other stories, as well as leave likes, comments, and gems! XOXOKP💚
Hey Everyone! Since my Birthday is tomorrow, August 25th, I will be taking a week off from all my responsibilities 😊 We will resume our story on Wednesday August 30th. Please feel free to like, comment & leave gems on the story so far, as well as check out my other books, The Timekeeper Dynasty Series, His Only Hope and The Karma Contract. The Timekeeper Dynasty Series is two books, both of which are finished. You can also follow me on the book of faces, under the name KP Author Page. I hope you all enjoy my writing and I look forward to your feedback!
Novalie POV The loud knock on the door startled me from the deep sleep I had been in. Instead of jumping out of bed the way I had expected him to, Xavier pulled me even closer into him as he nuzzled the crook of my neck, inhaling my scent. We had never actually slept in the same bed before, let alone cuddled together like this, but it felt right for us to be here like this. Xavier groaned softly as he released me and climbed out of bed before grabbing his pillow and throwing it on the couch he had just a few feet infront of the bed. He grabbed the blanket that had fallen on the floor from the foot of the bed, opened it, and threw it on the couch as well, so it would look like he had slept there, instead of in bed cuddled with me. There was another sharp knock on the door, and I couldn't help but to giggle when Xavier let out an exasperated sigh, annoyed by whoever was on the other side. He walked over to the door and opened it slightly to see who it was, without letting them see me
Xavier POV I'm not really sure what I expected her reaction to my confession to be, but her standing here in my room, in the dark with her hand on my chest certainly wasn't on the list of possibilities. What the hell was she thinking? But now that she was here, standing in my arms as if she belonged in them, I didn't want to let her go. She was looking up at me with those gorgeous dark brown eyes of hers waiting for me to say something, but I wasn't sure what to say, or if I could even form words. I wanted nothing more than to taste her lips, but I knew that I couldn't. If I got a chance to taste them, I'm not sure how I would ever live without them. Using all the willpower I had, I pulled away from her, releasing her from my hold. As soon as I pulled my hands away from her body I regretted it. I wanted nothing more than to grab her, push her against the wall and kiss her until we were both breathless, but I knew I couldn't. So, I instead began pacing the floor infront of my bed. I
