Nova’s pov

Mom and Dad left a while ago after telling me that he Lycan King sent an invitation. They left for the ballroom, leaving me all alone to myself, the room was eerily quiet and I moved towards the window to have a look at my surroundings.

The garment feels heavy and I found it difficult to walk in it.

“Why do Lycans always make their dress this difficult to wear?” I grabbed the tip of each side of the dress and strolled to the window.

“Woah! They're here already?” my eyes widened, seeing Anike all dressed up in a fine purple dress, with two maids strolling behind her.

I moved away from the window and stood at the centre of the room, a knock came on the door and I took a deep breath before ushering them in.

“My princess,” Anika greeted with a slight bow, the same thing with the two maids. “The guests have arrived at the ballroom, it's time for you to exit your room.” Her face lit up with a heartwarming smile, I rubbed my sweaty palms together and nodded my head.

    Prescott’s povThe after-party ceremony took longer than I expected, I grabbed Randale’s daughter… No, I grabbed Nova’s hand and walked her out of the ceremony ground. The guests flashed us their best smiles, chanting, “Long live the King!”, “Long live the Queen!”Nova shyly lifted her hand, waving at the guests as we passed them by.I tightened my grip on her hand and she let out a muffled, hoarse yelp.We had taken off the mantle and we had changed into another outfit. Nova was clad in a black evening dress that revealed the upper part of her body, she looked uncomfortable considering that it was cold outside.I didn't know whose idea it was, but she was verily stupid for wearing such a dress in this weather.“Congratulations, your Majesty!” Aunt Velvena, my Dad's older sister and only sibling walked up to us with a wooden bowl in her hands. She stopped in front of Nova and flashed her a heartwarming smile. “Congratulations, dear, thank you for considering my nephew worthy enough

    Nova’s povI sat at the edge of the Lycan King… Nope, King Prescott. I sat at the edge of his bed, while a maid was fixing my hair.This was my second time in King Prescott’s bed chamber. Aunt Velvena had insisted that I should dress up for his return and here I was, getting dressed in a red babydoll, my hair was packed in a messy bun and the necklace around my neck would glow every time my heart thump like it was going to ripe off.‘Make sure you give it your all, because I can't wait to become a grand Aunt.’I remembered what Aunt Velvena said to me before leaving. I grabbed a buffer and held it to my chest.Will he truly do it with me? I do not know!“I think we're all done!” the two maids exclaimed, staring at me with their gazes filled with happiness. I hide my face in my palms, feeling embarrassed.“Okay, thank you.” I couldn't bring myself to look them in the eyes, I knew I looked like a sex worker who has been dressed, waiting for her master to come to claim her body.My face

    Nova’s pov“Good morning, your Royal Highness!” I tossed and turned on the bed before dragging my eyes open. My gaze landed on Anika who had a huge—bright smile plastered on her face.“Good morning,” I whispered before dragging my feet out of the thick duvet that was covering my body. “What’s the occasion?” I slid my feet into a pair of flip-flops that has been laid on the floor, my gaze not leaving Anika who stood before me with so much joy on her face.I moved my gaze away from Anika, to the maids who stood in a straight line with their hands intertwined to their backs.“Oh,” Anika beamed, she stretched out her hand towards the maids and smiled. “It’s your first day as the Queen. I brought the maids for you to choose from them and have your maids, someone who will be attending to your subjective maids, that will be with you all the time.” she expounded, her eyes not leaving me and I moved my gaze to the floor, I didn't want her to see the bags around my eyes.I couldn't believe I c

    Prescott’s pov"497," I grunted as I pushed the barbells over my head. My arms shook with effort, balls of sweat dripping down my face."498," I counted, the air burning in my lungs. I felt lightheaded, my vision blurring at the edges. But I couldn't stop now. I had to push through to get the thoughts off my head."499," I panted, the world narrowing to the two weights I held above my head. My body was howling for me to stop, but I kept going."500!" I shrieked, gritting my teeth. My arms were on fire, my chest heaving as I gasped for air. But I wasn't done yet. Not when I still had the thought of killing someone on my mind. "501!" I roared, the barbells wobbling as I combated to keep them still. "502!" I could barely see straight, my legs throbbing with the effort of standing. I could hear faint grumbling beside me but I could care less about anyone or anything else at that moment.“I think you should stop!” Wharton barked for me to stop, he tried to move closer to me but I howled

    Nova’s povThe door was opened by a guard and I walked inside while Cinder waited outside, standing with the guard at the exit. The King's Hall dining was a feast for the senses. As I entered, I was struck by the excess of the space, from the marble floor to the gold-gilded arches overhead. The light from the stained glass windows cast a kaleidoscope of colours across the room, bathing everything in a magical glow. At the far end of the hall, a table had been set with platters mounded with food, ranging from succulent roasted meats to delicate pastries. The aromas were dizzying, tempting my appetite.“You’re here, your Highness!” I heard Aunt Velvena’s voice, coming from the inner part of the room.I turned towards where her voice was sounding from and I saw her walking out of a door, with a young lady beside her.The lady looked so much like her and I assumed the lady to be her daughter, Lady Everest.“Good morning, ma'am… Velvena.” I bowed slightly, my gaze on the lady who kept g

Just as the king can exercise his authority, I too have the power to make decisions for the good of my people and you're not to question me because I never questioned your authority!”“No! You're wrong!” I barked at her, Nova moved away in shock, tears shimmered in her eyes as she stared back at me in utmost shock.I gripped her arm and made her look straight into my eyes. “I am the only one who has the power to do anything. I made you the Queen because I wanted to, not because you wished to. One word from me, and you'd be withdrawn from your post.” Nova flinched back in fear, terror was clearly shown on her face. Shock slapped her face when I forcefully pushed her to Wharton, she crashed into his chest and staggered backwards before standing straight.“In case you don't know, your life is no longer yours but mine.

    Nova’s povAs I was dozing off in the chair, my body gradually began to slump over. Slowly, my head drooped down and my eyes fluttered shut. Then, with a soft thump, I tumbled off the chair and onto the cold, hard marble floor. I gave a sleepy groan as my head made contact with the ground. The impact woke me up, sleep left my eyes and I winched in pain.“Aargh!” I whimpered, dragged my body off the floor and stood on my feet.I moved my gaze to the chair and I wondered why I was sleeping there in the first place when I should be having a peaceful sleep on the bed.I yawned and rubbed my eyes with the back of my palm, my stomach made an annoying grumble and I held my stomach through the clothing. Just then, reality struck me; I slept off on the chair after the grumpy guy brought me to my room. I slept without having dinner.“That stupid dumbhead!” I rolled my eyes and dragged my feet towards the mirror.Checking myself in the mirror, it seemed like I just came out of a horror movie. M

    Nova’s POV “Has she been given a name?” I asked, gazing down at my niece's tiny hand, her tiny fingers wrapped around my pinky. She was the most precious thing I had ever seen, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of love for her. Tamsyn shook her head, her eyes never leaving her daughter's face. “No, we haven't given her a name yet,” she said, her voice soft and full of wonder. “I was so sure it would be a boy, and I'd been planning to name him after his father. But now...I'm at a loss. I don't know what to name her.” She paused, her gaze shifting to meet mine. “I want her name to be perfect, to capture everything she is.” “What about Dahlia?” Prescott spoke up for the first time since we got to the pack and I had to turn around to stare at my husband from where he was standing at the far end of the room. “Dahlia?” I asked, not believing Prescott would want to take up the task of naming my niece. “Why Dahlia?” Tamsyn asked from where she was lying down on the hospital bed.

I couldn't help but burst out laughing - the whole situation was just too ridiculous. How could she be so upset over something so trivial? I mean, sure, getting rejected by your crush is never easy, but it's not like it's the end of the world. There are plenty of other fish in the sea! Everest groaned from where she sat, patting Shayna on the back. “Oh, please. That's rich coming from you.” she scoffed.“Don’t act all innocent. You chased after my cousin for years and didn't eventually get him. You shouldn't be acting all mighty, you know?”I had always known Everest to be a grumpy, no-nonsense type of lady - if you could even call her a “lady” with the way she acted. But I never expected her to be so fiercely protective of Shayna. I mean, when did they become best friends? The

I haven't gotten over the incident and Prescott did little to nothing to make me get over the incident.Every action he took, every word he uttered and his sudden possessive act reminded me of that horrible incident that happened to me a month ago. Even though not everyone in the Villa knew about the incident, he wouldn't stop to draw the line between me and every soul who reside in the Villa.‘How dare you let the Queen leave the Villa on her own?’‘Where were you when the Queen entered the kitchen?’‘Have the meal tested for poison before you set the table for the Queen.’ his words to the royal guards echoed through my mind and I shook my head, not thinking I would ever understand the way he thinks.Don't do this, don't go there alone, don't get involved in any activities.

    Dixon’s POV‘Make sure you're both safe before I get there. Don't do anything foolish, and wait for me.’I could still remember his Majesty's warning as I slowly turned around to see the cowardly bastard, standing before me with his arms crossed.“Where do you think you're taking her, Dixon?” Elder Bighana smirked, his ugly face was filled with a sly smile as he slowly approached us.I let go of the Queen's hand, and gently pushed her to my back as I stood still, waiting for the bastard to get to my front.“Where do I think I'm taking her? I'm taking her back to where she belongs.” I smirked, closing the little distance between me and him.Elder Bighana slightly raised one brow, his smile deepened as he lowered his head, smirking down at me.“And where did she belong? The Villa, or her father's pack?” he howled, his breath on my face making my stomach churn.“Anywhere you could think of.

I gulped down nervously before moving the bottle to my mouth.“He said he would get rid of me tomorrow, it can't be possible that he gave me poison to drink, right?” I breathed out, the fear of drinking poison weighed me down, but if he was to poison me he would have done it by himself.I parted my lips and poured the whole content into my mouth, I didn't feel anything at first, so I gulped it down my throat.My throat hurt like hell, it was as if the content was tearing my throat apart.

    Nova’s POV Tears streamed down my face as I ran my fingers over my toes, my touch landing on a space where my smallest toe should have been. The emptiness was a harsh reminder of what I'd lost, and I could feel the grief rising inside me.‘Oh, I've got something even better. Let's go with this.’My hand moved to my chest, grasping for the familiar weight of the necklace my aunt had given me. But it was gone, the shithead Eruba took it.“That bastard took it from me,” I mumbled, my heart pounding in my chest. I held my breath as I heard footsteps approaching, panic rising in my throat. I slid into the shadows, desperate to avoid the man who had caused so much pain. He was a monster, and I couldn't face him again.The door opened, and I gripped my chest as I heard the footsteps moving towards me.“There you are, my sweet queen.” The voice was sickeningly familiar, but I couldn't place it.

Checking the look on his face, he was regretting selling Dixon off to me, but there was something about him that seemed like he was doing it for me to show mercy on Dixon instead.“Open the door,” I grumbled, my gaze shifted to the door, watching Czar drag the door open with a smile on his face.As I stepped into the dungeon, my eyes fell on Dixon. He was shackled to an iron chair, his body bare except for a pair of shorts. Blood streaked his torso, and I could see claw marks on his chest. He was broken, his eyes glazed over in defeat. I felt a surge of anger, but I forced myself to remain calm. I needed answers, and I would not let my rage get the better of me.I turned my gaze t

Czar followed close behind, his presence like a shadow hanging over me. Alpha Randale’s words rang in my ears like a bell, the memory of them sharp and insistent.‘The captive said he didn't know the culprit's identity, but he was sure they were a royal warrior. He said they were dressed in an armour that has the nation's signature on it when they threatened him not to talk during the interrogation.’With each step I took, I felt my anxiety growing, until it felt like a lead weight in my stomach. I grumbled, my head was spinning as I walked down the hallway.‘Your Majesty, there's more. The captive said that the culprit was a rogue like himself. And he said he could sense Eruba's handmade tonic in their blood. One of the royal warriors is a rogue, your Majesty!’It was like my bra
