Safe

NOVAI was in pain. I wanted to scream, but when I did, I screamed into a void that absorbed all sounds. I felt as if I was swallowed by the darkness because I couldn't escape it no matter how fast I ran. My magic didn't work, and after a while I could only bang on the walls surrounding me, hoping that one of them would break.‘Focus, Nova. Focus,’ I told myself in my thoughts. ‘Try to remember how you got here. Try to remember what happened…’ A scene of Laura stabbing me with a needle rushed through my mind. ‘A poison…’ With that one word surfacing in my mind, another wave of pain flooded me, but at least I acknowledged the source of it.I didn't know what kind of toxin Laura injected into my veins, but I could feel that it was slowly crushing every ounce of my consciousness. I wanted to live. I had to live. Then I began to wonder if, maybe, not all of my magic was blocked by this void. I took a deep breath—or at least I imagined taking one—and concentrated on my healing abilities. M

Decision

FELIXNova stood on the opposite side of the street from her house, watching it burn. She was covered in nothing but a blanket. I watched the tears fall down her cheeks, and guilt rose within me. No one would have attacked her home if it wasn't for me. She didn't deserve such treatment.People from a few blocks gathered to observe the flames. Some of them shook their heads in disbelief, and others snickered, enjoying the view. The firemen were doing everything they could, but the fire spread too quickly, consuming everything along the way. I wrapped my arm around Nova's waist and pulled her close."I'm sorry," I muttered, nuzzling her neck.She faced me with a sad smile, wiping the tears from her cheek. "You have nothing to be sorry about. It's the people of this damn town who should apologize."I knew she was hurt and angry, which made the blood boil in my veins. I looked around the crowd; the one who threw cans with burning gasoline inside Nova's house could be around them, and I co

Scarletville

NOVAThe next twenty-four hours were intense. This one decision could change my entire life, and it would definitely change Felix's life. In the morning, Felix met with Alpha Tyrion to announce his choice. I could tell that Alpha Tyrion wasn't pleased with it, but he chose to support his friend nonetheless. I tried to think rationally about this idea, but my instincts were telling me that it was more like a choice between a fire and a flood. Well, the fire here was quite literal..."I know that I'm selfish, but I don't want you to leave." Aria held my hands tightly in hers and stared into my eyes, looking for an ounce of hesitation.My lips stretched into a thin smile. "Tell me honestly: do you truly believe you can clean up this mess with Felix and me living in Grand Lunaville?"She gritted her teeth. "I'm so pissed at this situation... I'm their Queen, for Goddess's sake!"I laughed. "Aria, they respect you, but they still won't change the way they think for you.""Well, they should

Let the game begin

NOVALife had taught me that the first impression wasn't always the right one, so I learned to wait before I judged someone's character, but seriously?! This woman made me hate her in less than five minutes! Her whisper to me wasn't exactly discreet. Felix must have heard it because I could feel his anger rising. He was on the verge of exploding, but I dug my nails into his hand, stopping him from ruining everything for himself."Of course," I said, smiling at Gisele and Alpha Rainier. "I would never interfere with Alpha Heir's duties. Could you show me to my room then?"Felix gave me a confused look. "Nova?"I reached out my hand and stroked his cheek. Then I stepped on my toes to kiss him and whispered, "Play by their rules… for now."I was light years from accepting the situation, but I told myself that it was only temporary. Felix and I needed to know this place better. Perhaps we should be grateful to Luna Gisele for revealing her true colors immediately. The pack's current Luna

Finding an ally

NOVAThe man in front of me slowly looked me up and down while I stood still as if my feet were glued to the floor. He pushed his chair toward me and stopped an inch away from my toes. Then he inhaled through his nostrils and closed his eyes."Magnolias," he muttered, curling his lips into a smirk. When opened his eyes, they were blazing red, a true Alpha-red. His gaze flickered to the unconscious Bear and then back to me. "What have you done to our warrior, witch?" His voice seemed calm, almost pleasant, but as his aura followed his words and wrapped around me, I felt the power of his demand.He was strong, but so was the magic flowing in my veins. My muscles tensed for a second, but I quickly overcame the pressure and stared into his eyes daringly. "He seemed tired. I put him to sleep. Don't worry, he'll wake up soon."His eyebrows rose, and he scanned my body from head to toe once more. "Interesting… It seems that my mother underestimated you."I narrowed my eyes, trying to read hi

Reunion

FELIXThree hours earlierI didn't like it. No. Scratch that. I hated it! I was forced to watch Nova being escorted by the guards as if she was an outsider, unworthy of remaining in the audience hall of a great Alpha Rainier. Who did he think he was, a King?! I knew that Nova wanted me to stay calm and pretend to accept their rules, but blood boiled within my veins, and I could feel my inner beast digging its way to the surface.Gisele must have spent all her life trying to turn bitchism into an art. Nonetheless, I would ignore her gladly. That was even my original intention… before she insulted Nova in front of me. It took all my inner restraint not to slash her throat. My mind sent me carefully crafted frames of a scene where it happened. My claws elongated, my hand raised, and my blades ripped the flesh from her neck. Her eyes dilated a split second before her venomous mouth opened, and she realized she could no longer speak or breathe. Another heartbeat later, a thin red line appe

Challenge

FELIX I tried calling Nova, but it turned out that the dead battery wasn't our only communication problem. It was next to impossible to call each other, and the text messages went through only occasionally. Apparently, in the pack organized by eighteenth-century rules, the need for a telephone signal or internet was minimal, or at least it worked like that within the packhouse. If it hadn't been for all the gold-soaked flooring, walls, and ceilings, I would have thought that I was now living in a fucking Mormon village. Of course, the pack communicated just fine without phones or the internet; all they needed was a mind link. Not that it discriminated against all the wolfless creatures living within our pack's territory. My blood boiled again, but for now, I was helpless. All I could do was make a mental note to improve the signal as soon as I became an Alpha. But, could I become this pack's Alpha? The seemingly friendly future Gamma kept his eyes on me the entire time he led me to

Family dinner

NOVAI was so worried about Felix that I couldn't sleep. Last night, he tried to call me, but our call was disconnected after two seconds, and my attempts to call him back turned out to be useless. After another hour, I got a message from him saying, "I'll work something out. Thank you. See you tomorrow at dinner."That pissed me off and frustrated me even more. I was trying to do whatever I could to meet with him, and he was suddenly OK with waiting until some freaking dinner?! Someone could have killed me in the meantime! Of course, I might have been overreacting. We were in a new place, surrounded by hostile, scheming people. I was the one who told him to pretend to play by their rules for now, but I meant it when I said "pretend," and not to actually stick to their rules! I wanted to see Felix. I needed to see him, and after my conversation with Eric, I had a lot of information he was going to need to rule this pack.I thought about sneaking out again, but the packhouse was huge,

Walking away

NOVA"Nova, wait!" Felix ran after me. He grasped my wrist and brought me to a halt.We were standing in the corridor with four guards watching us and anticipating a fine drama. Felix gave the guards a meaningful glare. "Go somewhere else." They bowed down to him and sauntered away. Whatever happened on those training grounds must have earned Felix more than just his father's respect...I gritted my teeth and locked my eyes on him. "I can't do this alone," I said, swallowing a big knot forming in my throat. "I needed you to say something, to be there for me just like I have always been for you because in case you have forgotten, I am here and dealing with all this for you."He grabbed my other hand, pulled me closer, and sighed. "Well, you're doing the exact opposite right now."I frowned and jerked my hands away from him. "What?!"His jaw clenched, but he slowly drew in a breath to calm down. "You were the one who told me to play by their rules, and now it's you who doesn't want to f

Negotiations

FELIXOne week laterFor these past couple of days, all the arrangements for me to become an Alpha had been going smoothly. Once I had defeated Lance, no one questioned my right to lead the Crimson Moon Pack. My cooperation with the warriors was improving as I got to know them. My relationship with the new family got better too, and yet I was still restless, constantly feeling like something was missing…Of course, I knew why I felt this way. Nova left, and I did nothing to stop her. Rainier seemed pleased with my decision. He called it taking the responsibility seriously, but I would call it being a cold-hearted asshole. I wanted Nova near me, but right now I couldn't even grant her permission to walk freely in my presence. My authority was only superficial, and the only genuine power I had concerned leading warrior groups.Another thing proving that I was an absolute ass following Nova's suggestion and listening to Eric's bits of advice. I could sense that he was still cautious arou
