Nova’s povMy heart was pounding hard against my chest as I trailed quietly behind the Lycan King. My steps were quick and light as I tried to keep up with his long strides.His long legs kept taking a long stride that I knew I would be darned if I should slower my pace.I had a lot of questions, but whom shall I ask? I wanted to know why he came to fetch me by himself. I wanted to know why he didn't react instantly to why I left the building without his permission. A part of me yelled out his name and demanded where he was taking me.But I was afraid to speak, afraid to draw the attention of the people in the infirmary to myself, but my fear was palpable, my every breath quick and shallow. Without saying a word, or glancing back to look at me, Prescott led me down a narrow alleyway, down to a building that I had never been to since I got to the royal villa.I could hear my pulse pounding in my ears, and my palms were sweating. I had no idea what he wanted from me, but I knew that I
Prescott’s povAs Elder Bighana narrated the situation to Nova, I relaxed into the seat, waiting for her word to make my wish come true.I had left her some clue and I was sure she understood what I was saying. I watched her with the corner of my eyes, a faint smile appeared on her face as she pressed her lips into a thin line.“I vote to disagree!” She blurted out.It was as if I had hit my ears with a sharp nail. It seemed as though I had lost my hearing.I sprang up from the seat and pulled her up by the collar of her shirt. My heart hammered against my chest, it was as though my life was crumbling at my feet.“What did you just say?” I howled, my grip on her shirt tightened and I watched her move her gaze to my hands on the collar of her shirt.She smirked and stared at me with her jewel-toned eyes.“I disagree with you ruling the nation on your own!” she whispered to my face and slapped my hands off her shirt.I stared at her with my jaw clenched in both anger and frustration. Ho
Nova’s pov“Hey, watch your step.” I helped Shayna with the door and she threw me a dirty look.“For goddess sake, Princess?!” Shayna grumbled, eyeing my hand on her shoulder.“I don't know why you insisted on leaving the infirmary when you should be there for one more day.” I kissed my teeth, guarding her inside my room. “Why are you treating me like this? I am a werewolf for goddess' sake, and I'm completely healed.” she groaned, entering my room, her nose in the air, taking in my floral scents.“This is my first time in this place, it is nice here, compare to the other room.” Shayna smiled, strolling towards the window with her arms wide.“Do you think so?” I tilted my head, checking out the room like it was my first time there. “I think the other room is nice and cozy. No high windows,” I strolled to her, pushed open the Bay window, “and there's no fear of running into the beast.” recalling that his bedroom was just opposite mine. I walked back to the bed and plunged into the sil
Prescott’s pov“I humbly welcome you to my pack, your Majesty!” Alpha Randale of Blue Moon pack slightly bowed before me, his wife stood beside him with her hands wrapped around her pregnant daughter.“Welcome, your Majesty!” Luna Mackenzie forced out a smile, she nudged her daughter and she let out a sickening hiss.“We welcome you to our pack, your… your Majesty!” she groaned, shrugging off her shoulders, letting her mother's hands slide down her arms.“Thank you!” I uttered, moving my gaze away from them to the building in front of my eyes.The apartment seemed cozy even though it would hardly contain me and my guys.“Ahh,” Alpha Randale stepped forward, “here is where you would be staying, there is another apartment at the back for your men!” he divulged, I nodded my head in appreciation. It was as if he just read my mind. How the hell would I share an apartment with some warriors?“You?” I pointed at the pregnant girl, his head snapped at me, her eyes widened and her jaw dropped
Nova’s pov"How can I meet the elders?" I asked Anika, my voice shaking with anxiety. My arms were crossed around my chest, but it was more out of nervousness than defiance. I was terrified of what might happen if I met the elders, I didn't know what they will say, but I was also desperate to meet them so I would know what fate has in store for my pack."Um," Anika gulped, her eyes widening in surprise. She hadn't expected me to come to the royal kitchen to ask such a question, and she seemed a bit flustered by it. I was glad I'd caught her off guard since I wasn't sure she would have given me an honest answer because people at the royal villa seemed to be secretive and they hardly disclose anything going on in the royal villa to anyone.I held my breath as I watched her open her mouth to talk, I waited for her response, eager to hear what she would say. “I do not know how! I am just a mere head maid who knew nothing about the elders or anything going on in the courthouse!” Anika b
Nova’s pov“Your Highness, please we would need your signature on these.” elder Bighana gathered the files and dropped them on the table for me to take them.I knitted my brows before leaning forward to take the files from the table. I took out the first one and scanned through the sheets.“Once you put in your signature, everything is done.” the elder spoke up, I sighed before grabbing a ball pen from the table.“Okay,” I moved my gaze to the lower part of the files and put in my signature without reading the whole content.I know it was about their sudden retirement and I was too lazy to go through the whole contents.“It is done!” I closed the lid of the pen and dropped it on the table, the elders all stood up and bowed before me."We accept your royal decree, Your Highness!" the elders intoned, their voices resounding throughout the room. "Long live the Queen!" they cried, their voices growing louder and louder. I smiled, touched by their loyalty and devotion. It was a humbling e
Nova’s povI sighed for the nth time as we drove passed the last pack to get to my pack. I stretched my neck and my gaze drifted to the rear-view mirror, seeing Rezso staring back at me.After the royal Beta insisted I should take the guards with me, I declined to move around with such amount of guards and decided to wait until his Majesty returned. But Rezso stepped out and vowed to escort me to the pack in one piece.I cleared my throat and moved my gaze away from the guard who wouldn't keep his eyes off me. I moved my gaze to the window, staring at the wall of the pack we were passing by. Shayna bumped her elbow against my shoulder, leaning toward me.“What’s the problem, Princess?” she asked, resting her chin on my shoulder.I turned on the seat, making her move away from me.“I’m fine,” I gulped, finding no words to describe how I was feeling. “Are you nervous?” she teased, staring at me with a smile on her face."What could I possibly be nervous about?" I asked, arching an eyeb
Nova’s pov“Raoul, take the file to my chamber,” Prescott let out, disengaging from the hug, “you follow me, Czar.” he gave an order to the two men, he spun his feet and walked away from me.I smiled, wiping my tears with my palms before turning to face the maids who stood with their gaze on the floor."Everything is going to be okay," I flashed out a smile, trying to sound as reassuring as possible. "The King is here to help us, not to harm us. Please don't be afraid of him," I continued, my voice gentle and soothing. I hoped my words would help to calm their nerves and ease their worries. I gave them my most encouraging smile, hoping it would help to put them at ease. I pushed past them, walking towards my parents' building with both Rezso and Shayna trailing behind me.“You know…” I spun on my feet, making them hastily stop on their track. I smirked, staring at Rezso with my eyebrows raised. “You know it's not necessarily for you to keep following me around?” I asked, crossing my
