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

    Nova’s pov“You want to kill his Majesty?” I gasped, staring at her with tears streaming down my cheeks.What will happen if she got caught? What will happen if his Majesty dies in our pack? What will the powerful Lycans do us, lowly werewolves? It's no doubt, our pack would become a thing of the past. They would wipe out our species and everything about us would be history.“How dare he killed my mate when we didn't do anything to him? He dares killed the boy guy when he has nothing to do with the situation!” Tamsyn howled, piercing her arm with the dagger.Blood oozed out of the cut and she pierced it deeper into her skin."Tam, please!" I begged, my voice shaking with fear. I watched in horror as she plunged the dagger into her arm, blood oozing out of the wound. “Please think about your pup and stop this madness.” I pleaded, unable to keep up with the sight.“No,” Tamsyn laughed, the sound crazed and unhinged. She traced her thumb across her arm, smearing blood across her skin. I

His heavy boots clacked against the stone floor, each step bringing him closer and closer. I turned on my heel to face him, he rushed up to me and he gave a quick bow before straightening up to meet my gaze. “Yes, Dixon, did you get anything?” I questioned, my eyebrows raised as I stared at my best warrior, shaking his head negatively."Your Majesty," he blurted out, his voice deep and breathy. “I am afraid to tell you that I was unable to get anything. It doesn't seem like the rogues are staying in this pack.” Dixon uttered, carefully picking his words.“Is that it?” I asked, staring at him with my lips pressed in a thin line.“Yes, your Majesty!” he gave a bow before straightening up.“Okay, you can retire for the night, we will check out some things outside the palace, in the morning.” I proclaimed, turning on my heel and entered into the apartment that was given to me.As

    Nova’s pov“Don’t fail me!” Tamsyn gave me a sly smile, her hand leaving my cheek as she dropped down to retrieve the dagger from the floor."Keep this with you," she said, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. "I'll take it back when the time comes," she added, her eyes sparkling with amusement. I swallowed hard, my hand trembling as I took the dagger from her. I gazed at the blade, the sharpness of it making my heart race. I wasn't sure if I could handle such a responsibility, but I nodded nonetheless. Unable to utter a word."We will kill him," she said, her voice full of determination. "You will be free of him, and I will avenge the death of my mate." With that, she turned and left the room, her footsteps echoing in the empty hallway. I stood frozen in place, the full weight of her words sinking in. Could I really do what she was asking? Was I capable of taking a life, even for the sake of revenge? My thoughts were a jumbled mess, and I didn't know what to do.My hands s

    Prescott’s povWaking up in Blue Moon pack was a different experience than waking up at the royal villa. I was used to the quiet stillness of the morning at the royal villa, and here, I was waking up by the melodic jingling of the bell that chimed from across the palace buildings.The sound was a little loud, but It was a soothing sound, one that brought a sense of calm to my mind. The stillness of the morning was replaced by the gentle bustle of palace members going about their daily business. With a groan, I rolled out of bed and stood up, stretching out the kinks in my body. I slid my feet into a pair of soft footwear that was laid down on the floor, their warmth was a comforting sensation on my cold toes. I took a deep breath and exhaled, trying to shake off the last remnants of sleep. I knew I had a lot to do today, but for a moment, I allowed myself to linger in the peace of the early morning before I decided to go have my mouthwash.Striding towards the bathroom, I entered and

I returned to my room, sitting on the edge of my soft bed with a book in my hands, a knock came on the door and I moved my gaze off the book.“Yes, who's that?” I asked, my brows raised as I stared at the door, watching it creep open with a head popping inside.“Princess?” the voice called before entering my room fully. “Hey,” I smiled, recollecting she was one of the maids from the dining room earlier. “Sorry for yelling at you. I wasn't in my right sense at that time.” I uttered, giving her an apologetic look.“That’s not a problem, Princess.” she let out a nervous smile, fondling her fingers.“Why are you here?” I asked, closing the book in my hands before dropping it beside me on the bed.She seemed to have collected herself as I asked that question, she adjusted her posture and inhaled before speaking.“His Majesty, the King had asked me to call for you. He is currently at the front of the building, waiting in the car th

    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

    NOVA’S POVA month has already passed since the incident with the rogue leader who unfortunately turned out to be Elder Bighana. 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.

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.

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
