Prescott’s povI entered Alpha Randale’s office to see my men, sitting on a large couch. They sprang up to their feet when they saw me enter the office.“Your Majesty!” my men bowed in greetings as soon as I got closer to them.“Where is Randale?” I questioned, seeing that he wasn't anywhere in sight.“Checking out a file in his inner office room,” Dixon spoke up, his voice hoarse as usual.“Sit!” I ordered, taking the couch across from them.“Yes, your Majesty!” they said in unison before plunging back to the seat.I moved back into the seat, crossing my arms around my chest as I thought about what the rogue that attacked Nova earlier might have wanted from her.Realizing that I might have gotten a little information from him, I wished I never had killed him.“Sorry for keeping you waiting… Your majesty!” Alpha Randale halted on his track, he held a tray of mugs in his hands, and he bowed as he saw me on the seat.“Your majesty, I never knew you would be this quick, hence, I would hav
Nova’s pov“I will be leaving first,” Tamsyn groaned, pushing her seat back as she stood up from the seat. Mom arched her brows as she dropped her spoonful of rice back onto the plate.“Is anything the matter with your sister?” Mom questioned, watching Tamsyn walk out of us after giving me a weird smirk.“Why do you ask that?” I threw back a question to Mom, she picked up a glass of water and took a light sip.“She has been staring at her food since she got here, she didn't even touch her drink. It's so unlike your sister to abandon her breakfast of cake and milk.” she shrugged, taking out a napkin and wiping her lips.“Right,” I nodded, making sense of what she had just said, Tamsyn could literally kill for a breakfast of cake and milk, and now that it was served, she was not eating it. That didn't make sense, right?“Do you think something is bothering her?” I raised a question, picking up my glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, and gulping down a large quantity before dropping m
Nova’s povThe car pulled to a halt in an unfamiliar environment. I stared at Prescott, making sure we were in the right place before stepping down from the car.“Are we in the right place?” I asked with my eyebrows raised.Prescott gave a curt nod, flashing me a charming smile as I opened the door to step down from the car.Standing on my feet, with my gaze moving around the environment. Prescott stepped down from the car and walked up to me.“Why here?” I pointed at the quiet area, arching my brows as I stared at the empty café in front of us.I have never been to a place like this and I never for once thought a place like this existed in my pack. Making me wonder how the Lycan King got to know of a place when it hasn't been a week since he got to my pack.“I heard there's a place that sells great coffee around here, so I decided to come to check it out.” he grinned, sliding his hands into his pant pocket. “And I'm happy you tagged along. There's no better way to enjoy coffee than t
Prescott’s povStaring out from the café transparent walls to the old residents building with my arms crossed, I kept staring, waiting patiently to see if anyone would enter the building. Just as the owner of the Café had suspected the house when the travellers didn't come out of the building, I had decided to inspect the building by sitting down here with my Queen.Nova kept talking to me, but I wasn't paying attention to what she was saying, all my attention was on the building across from the coffeehouse. Staring keenly at the building so as not to miss anything.I had come to check out the building after Dixon, my best warrior had filled me in on what they found in the building, I had decided to come inspect it by myself.But having Nova with me, I chose to wait in the coffeehouse while I checked from up here if I would see anything suspicious.Just then, a guy who was clad in all-black attire entered the building after looking back and forth.I hastily stood up from the seat, my
Nova’s POV“Your Highness!” Hart, the little boy cleared his throat and I was forced to move my gaze away from Prescott. Dropping my gaze at whoever was calling me.“Oh, you?” I chuckled, seeing the little boy on Prescott’s seat, wondering what he needed from me.“The King left, right?” he arched his brows, clamping his palms together.“Oh… Yeah?” I knitted my brows before sitting back down in the chair, staring at the boy who kept staring and grinning at Prescott’s drink.“Wanna drink that?” I asked, pointing at the untouched drink in front of him.He shook his head, resting his head on the table. “No. I don't want coffee, as it is, I'm tired of it.” he groaned, brushing his chin on the plastic table and I chuckled dryly.“Was that because you drink that every day?” I lowered my face and placed my chin on the table, staring into the little boy's eyes.“Your Highness…”“Wait, how did you know?” I groaned, cutting him off from whatever he was about to say. He moved his chin off the tab
Nova’s POVI heard that howl and I was expecting to hear my bones cracking, but instead, I heard a pair of paws, running towards us and the next thing I felt was a heavy body, pushing me down to the floor.I thought, perhaps, it was another rogue wolf who wanted to take part in killing me. But that wasn't the case, because it didn't seem like any of the wolves were ready to attack me.I stayed there on the floor with my eyes remained closed. Silently prayed to the goddess that whoever that's going to kill me between the two wolves should at least be merciful.A loud howl filled the air and I gripped my ears with both palms. Couldn't bring myself to watch what was happening.After a while, the noise stopped and I heard something dropping to the ground. The air was getting thick and I was already feeling choked by the tense atmosphere. Why isn't anyone coming for me? Were they waiting for me to open my eyes before they would charge at me? Was I dead already? What was that noise?Differe
Prescott's POVThe sun shone brightly, almost making me go blind as I moved my face up to the sky. I could feel the warm sun on my bare back as I transformed back to human form.I moved my gaze around, only to meet with the stillness of the environment as if no one had ever existed here before.“Your Majesty!” one of the pack warriors called, rushing up to me with neatly folded washed jeans and a black Tee in his hands.Huh? I raised my brows as I never asked for clothes to change into.He bowed his head as soon as he got to me, not wanting to make eye contact with my naked body. “Alpha asked me to fetch your Majesty some clothes to change in,” he uttered as if he was reading my mind. How could he know what was on my mind?I smirked, staring at the clothes in his hands. How the hell did he know what I love to wear? My eyebrows raised as I stared at the young guy who bowed before me with his hands stretched.Just then, a thought flashed through my mind and I shook my head lightly. If N
Nova’s POVWalking down the hallway with my palm gently pressed to my mouth, I smiled, recalling what had happened in the Lycan King’s apartment.My hand found its way to my chest and I ran my fingers on my breast through the light shirt and double foam bra.Even though I was unable to run my fingers on my breast, I could still feel the hardness of my nipple and how Prescott had softly pinched it earlier.“Oh,” I grinned, taking my hand off my chest as I slowly approached the infirmary. I could hear soft groans coming from the inner part of the infirmary and a light sigh escaped my mouth.“Never knew it was that bad!” I blurted out, a wave of guilt washing over me.After I left Prescott’s apartment in search of my family, I heard from a guard that they were in the infirmary, taking care of the injured. I never knew anyone got hurt in the fight because Prescott never mentioned anything about anyone getting hurt.I entered the infirmary to see my mom, standing in front of my Dad as they
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.
Ulrica’s POV“Don't tell me you're still sulking over the fact that your crush chose some cock over you?” I asked, my lips parting in disbelief as I watched Shayna continue to give everyone the cold shoulder. 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. I'd already got tired but can I complain when he was doing all that to keep me safe?
Nova’s POVPrescott cleared the table, after he had done feeding me the meals that were brought by Anika, he grabbed the tray and took it to Anika who was waiting behind the door. Walking back to the bed with his eyes on me, I didn't say anything as he swept me off the bed, holding me tightly to his chest as he strolled towards the bathroom. Every things happen for a reason as they said. But I didn't know what to feel about my encounter with Eruba. I didn't know what to think about the things I saw and I heard from there. It was as if I had gone dumb as I held tightly onto Prescott as he held me in his arms.I could hear my heart thumping hard in my chest as he entered the bathroom, and carefully placed me down in the bathtub. The warm water felt like heaven, the thought of being back to the Villa, back to my home brought tears to my eyes.Elder Bighana had said I was going to die the next day, and the thought of him, being the one that would face his demise, right in the hands of hi
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'm tired of taking orders from you like a coward, I'm done cleaning your shit so fuck yourself an
Nova’s POVI stood up to my feet, I held the tiny bottle in both hands, rubbing my thumb on the lid.“He’s going to kill me tomorrow. Tomorrow will be my last day.” tears streamed down my cheeks as I gripped the lid and opened the bottle. “Tomorrow I'm going to die without seeing Prescott or my family for the last time.” I sobbed, tears streamed down my face and I didn't bother to wipe my face.I moved the bottle to my nose, I sniffed the content but it was odourless. 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. I held my neck, hitching the fle
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. My mind raced, trying to remember where I'd heard it before. But I couldn't think straight, the pa
Prescott's POV“Everything is ready, your Majesty!” Czar uttered a sly smile laced on his face as he stepped away from the door, giving me access to enter the dungeon to interrogate Dixon.I didn't say anything, I sighed, and my gaze moved to the guy who was standing beside Czar, his face was down in sorrow. 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
Prescott's POV‘The captive, I think he has something to say to you, your Majesty.’I held my breath as I walked into the office building, my fist clenching and unclenching as I tried to control my outrage. 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
