Alex’s POV“Guys.” I say turning to my brothers as I walk into my office. They have bedrooms, sitting rooms and offices of their own so I don’t know why I can’t walk into my office without finding them there. “I think we need to stop guilt buying stuff for Nova, she’s catching on”“Is she going to the ball?” asked Luthor. I nod. “Okay well after we get her a pretty dress. And shoes. And a bag.” Says Luthor getting far too excited.“I think Luthor just volunteered for shopping duties” says Peter smirking, I laugh to myself, as if any of us wouldn’t love to take Nova shopping. We love spoiling her, the way she never stops having these big, amazed eyes like a child everywhere we go.I love the way she takes our opinions on board and listens to what we think but also has her own style she doesn’t compromise. Though we may go a bit hard at the trying to assuage our guilt with the gifts. Worse now, is we have Roland as another way to try and appease our guilt. No better way to ease your gu

Nova’s POV“He said WHAT?” Leanna practically squawked with indignation. “What the hell kind of thing is that to say?”.“It took me twenty minutes to pick my jaw up off the floor and resume to normal functioning after he walked out.” I tell her. To be honest I am still blown away by it.“Well. Points for honesty at least!” Leanna says taking a big gulp of her wine. We are sat on my balcony curled up on a new sofa I had put out here just for these kinds of moments. I had learned to embrace girls’ night in and kept trying to make sure it was a comfy as possible.We were both sat in fuzzy pyjamas and slipper boots watching the sun set over the horizon. The sky was so beautiful, lit up in pinks and oranges, and calming a part of me I didn’t know needed soothing.“I mean… I have questions” I say laughing. “like a lot of questions but mainly why? Why can’t he love me? like I don’t want him to but he seemed sooo certain.” I say laughing again. I am 90% amused at the whole thing with 10% of

Nova’s POV“Details, Princess, I need details” says a female voice far too chipper for this time of the morning. My eyes aren’t even open yet and I am already hating this morning. I may, MAY have regrets about the amount I drank last night. Wolves have a high tolerance for alcohol and I drank like everyone else forgetting I don’t have Atari to support my recovery.I crack open one eye and crouched down next to my bed is Leanna smoothing my hair and smiling at me. “Come on pretty girl. Time to get up and share the gossip” she tells meI just groan and roll over ignoring both her and her enthusiasm. “What the hell time is it?” I ask grumpily.“it’s 8 am and it’s not early so move your lazy backside because I want to know who tall, dark and dreamy was” Leanna says settling in bed next to me. “and why he looked at you like he wanted to eat you alive”I can really only respond with a growl. 8 am is too early and she knows it. So I decide to give her what she wants“His name is Viscount Rol

Nova’s POVWe are going to be what now? My eyes don’t know where to look first, at the beaming lady in front of me, the slightly smug looking viscount next to her or at my three very sheepish looking brothers behind them.“Sorry, what?” is all I can ask. Not my snappiest reply but I’m taken by surprise here.“You and Roland dear” says his mother clasping her hands together on front of her, you are going to make such a beautiful couple”“Are we now?” I ask in a tone that hopefully shows I disagree with her assessment. “And why do you think we are going to be a couple?” I ask her.Lady Veren looks at me, her brows creasing in confusion but that giant, beaming smile never leaving her face “You’ve been engaged since the day you were born dear. It’s never changed.”Looking at my brothers and then at me it seems to dawn on the elder woman that this is all news to me. “You’re brothers didn’t tell you?”“No. I am so sorry Lady Veren this is brand new information” Lady Veren turns to my brothe

Nova’s POVI am discovering the hard way that I don’t like a lot of people looking at me at once. I am also discovering I get stage fright. I'm currently stood in the middle of the Palace ball room on a makeshift stage, surrounded by my brothers, being presented to every member of the kingdom and beyond, who is rich enough to afford an outfit for this event.There are thousands of eyes on me, and I want to tunnel into the ground and never come out. But I don’t. Instead, I stand there like a good princess. I smile, as I turn slowly in a circle, doing the slow, effortless wave the etiquette psycho had me practicing all week. I mean, I got it after 5 minutes. Why she needed to do pop up drills all week is beyond me.At least I am doing it in style. My brothers got a whole team of people to get me ready for tonight. I’ve had my stylist Maisy, who has had a beautiful emerald, green silk dress made for me. A makeup team create a seriously sultry smoky eye and red lip combination, and my usu

Alex’s POVI literally cannot believe what I am seeing. Nova is an impressive woman and since the moment we felt her bond come back to life, all three of us could feel she was something special. When we walked into the room in the Golden Harvest Packhouse and saw her standing there, beautiful, bold and brave, it was amazing. A sense of pride and love swept over the three of us that’s been growing ever since.So, seeing her now, barefoot, bedraggled, chained on the top of a thirty foot pole and covered in soot, my sister should look at her worst. That’s not Nova’s style. She just looks powerful and glorious. The fire beneath her is going out, clearly following some silent commend she is giving it. This power is impressive as well of her control of it considering she is not trained to use is it. My brothers and I all came into our powers at 19 and we were trained by the best Mages in the country, to wield the amazing forces we were gifted to control.When we had managed to locate the f

As theyarrives at the pack and climbed out of their various vehicles, Naomi's nerves were on fire with anxiety. She was worrying about Theon's condition. She checked her phone and hadn't had any updates from Margot, she convinced herself no news was good news. "So what do we do with these witches now then?" asked Lottie"I have called the Witches Court" said Naomi, "They will be here shortly. So they will be handed over to them. I assume they have some sort of special place for witches that do this kind of thing. Clearly it was niave of Theon to think he could hold Lilian before, so we call the professionals"Rhys nodded in agreement "Yeah we kind of fucked up there,""Well we all learnt a vital lesson" said Lottie. "Never understimate these witches.""I just can't believe how crazy it all went to fast" said Naomi. She took Alex from Rhys's arms. "Shall we go see daddy and then go get some rest baby?" she asked her little boy. He looked sleepily up at her but his eyes held a glint of

If Naomi could choose one way to describe Molly right now she'd go with 'in her element'. The woman was literally overjoyed finally getting to smugly tell her clever story of how she'd engineered this. "You were all so easy to manipulate. Now i will have the blood of the last of the white wolves and I will gift it to my daughter and we will be unstoppable." she crowed gleefully. Naomi didn't know what she was referring to."Ah you don't know" said Molly seeing the confused look on Naomi's face. "The blood of the white wolf, when consumed by a witch, gives them the ultimate power boost and the ability to control full blood wolves. I can take over every pack in the US. It will help me control every full blooded Mutt in the states."Naomi was getting really sick of listening to her voice. She didn't know how to shut her up in her current situation but she just knew the second she was free Molly was going to be forced to keep her mouth closed. "Now come here" she said using the invisible b

No matter who you are, hearing the words ritual is never a good thing, thought Naomi, but stood in a semi circle of witches holding your small child it is especially chilling. Naomi was still reeling at the iformation overload of the past few days. She was thinking when she got back to the cottage and told the whole story to Theon she would need to make a family tree first just to lay it all out for him. Naomi knew she should be asking questions like, what ritual, what party, things like that but she had become a little disconnected with reality and her next question was unexpected "Wait, you were going to kill me when you thought I hurt Lilian but now it's Lucy you're fine with it?" Lottie rounded on Naomi, eyes wide. "That;s your issue right now?" she asked "Molly's double standards?""I think Naomi has finally snapped" muttered Rhys.Naomi wasn't sure she could disagree with that statement. Her mind was reeling. She had Alex, all she wanted to do was run and take her son far away

"So which one of you did it?" Molly asked. There ws no reason to wonder wahat she was referring to. The woman's eyes were pure cold, fury. Her anger and distress were practically radiating off her. "Who killed my babygirl?" she screamed through tears of rage. Her face getting redder and eyes bulging.Rhys and Lottie looked at each other confused, Naomi realised she was the only one who knew that Lilian was dead. "Someone killed Lilian." explained Naomi. "Snapped her neck" "Someone?" SOMEONE?" bellowed Molly. "It was you! I took your son so you think this is just retribution?" "I only found her" Naomi said defending herself "She was dead when we got here. I think you need to check your own backyard before you go pointing fingers Molly""You lying snake" she hissed as she threw an energy ball at Naomi. Naomi managed to dodge in time. She put Alex down and told him to put his shield back up and to turn around so he couldnt see what was happening."You could have hurt Alex" Naomi said an

Naomi was stunned. Stunned and horrified. Looking at the pale and lifeless figure of Lilian led out before her she thought she would feel happy or relieved at her death but she just felt flat and empty. She would never get to see her justice or get to ask Lilian why she had donw these things to her. I wonder who she pissed off enough to actually kill her, thought Naomi. She had clearly enraged someone enough to kill her by hand, which was Naomi's educated guess going by the handprints bruised that formed on her pale neck. I wonder if Molly knows her daughter is gone? she though. Full wolves sensed death to their children but she didn't know if hybrids did. At that moment James reached out and turned her to face him. She had forgotten he was even there. Looking at the shock she felt reflected back in his eyes it was like a bubble she was in burst. That's when she realised what he was saying to her "Luna, we need to get out of here now" James said in a panicked tone "it's all gone si

The atmosphere was tense. There was no other way to describe it. The entire rescue team was hiding in the trees lines about 30 feet from the road that led into the quary. It was their last chance at consistent coverage. The cars had been left about a quarter of a mile down the road, as out of sight as they could manage. Naomi could see the wide enterance into the quary and the building, tents and RVs that lay beyond. Their target for attack. It was dusk now and they were waiting for the cover of darkness to make their move as they were hoping for the cover of the dark combined with the witches letting their guards down at night. The quart it's self was a really open space and their recon during the early evening had shown there was no wehrre for cover making stealth a difficult place to infiltrate without giving away their arrival. Quite sensible of the witches really Naomi begrudgingly admitted. Lottie was sat on the ground next to Naomi, still trying to connect with her visions.
