ANMELDENCHAPTER 69CASSIAN'S POVIf there is any restraint that I have, it is let loose the second those words leave her mouth. I grab the back of her neck as I kiss her in the most violent way I have ever done. Her hands find my hair, pulling like she is going to pull the hair out of my scalp if I am not being careful.I can't say I don't like it. Her hands find the front of my trousers as she reaches down with one finger. I feel my wolf lose control. Fuck, he always loses control when it comes to Nova. I can feel myself get rock hard. She is only using one fucking finger.“Control yourself,” I snap at him, and I can feel him hiss.“When it comes to her? I don't know how that's happening.”Nova grabs my cock for just a second before she tries to undo my belt. I let her do everything she wants to. My trousers are on the floor around my ankles, and Nova looks up at me as she falls down to her knees.“Fuck,” I whisper. She has her tongue out as she takes my cock in her hands, tapping it against
CHAPTER 68CASSIAN'S POVIt is a bad decision going with Nova. Hell, I don't even know that she is able to drive a bike. But there she is, speeding out of the pack like she has a death wish.This is more than a reckless thing to do. I should have asked her to come down. I should have ridden. But there I am, with my arms wrapped around her as she drives, with a helmet on her head.Her posture is perfect, but I am dying inside.As she drives further into the desert, she increases her speed, and there is sand trailing behind us.Nova suddenly comes to a stop, and my arms tighten further. She giggles against my hands even more.“Is this funny to you?” I ask her, raising my voice above the sounds of the machines.“You can't blame me, Cassian,” she whispers. “Yes, it is.”My jaw tightens, but I still let her drive.The second we see the headlights of the city, I am more than relieved. This chaotic journey is finally going to be over.Some of the people on the road are looking over at us, an
CHAPTER 67NOVA'S POVI dust my hand against my dress, as I stand up. Killian is still looking at me like he is just seeing me for the first time.“Why?” I ask in a whisper. I should be running out of the place. But I can't do that either. I want to know what Beatrice is hiding. Why I shouldn't have seen those papers.I should have known that she is involved with something. Cassian always feels it when she is around. She has to be hiding something.Killian shakes his head. “Before she officially mated to me, she got involved with a secret faction. The broker has existed years ago. And of course, I knew about him.”I take a step back, and my feet hit the frame of the bed. What does he mean? The broker has been looking for me for years? What if he came to the human world? He would have been able to capture me this whole time. Maybe he is just watching, trying to make sure that I am the person he is looking for.“What?” I ask, with my voice in a whisper.“Beatrice and her little group we
CHAPTER 66NOVA'S POVThe first thing I hear is the alarms, and that is enough to get me to stop looking at the flowers. I hurry towards the main pack, where almost all the members of the pack are gathered.Some of them are already on their motorcycles, and I know that it has to be serious. This isn't some kind of bike riding thing, is it?“What's going on?” I ask, and I spot Cassian whip his head around. He walks over to me in three long strides, holding me so close to him that I can barely breathe.“You're safe,” he mutters into my hair, and I pull away from him after a few minutes.“I asked what happened,” I say calmly, spotting Killian as he looks barely alive.“Beatrice has been abducted,” one of the women of the pack says, as she looks over at me. There is something about the way she says it that makes it feel like she is even scared to talk to me.But that is the least of my problems at that point.“What?” I ask, and she nods at me.“Who was the last person to see her?” Killian
CHAPTER 65CASSIAN'S POVThere is no way I am changing towards Nova after what she tells me. I want to have her around me all the fucking time. I want to make sure that nobody is taking her away. I could have her chained to me if I had my way.But then, she is Nova. She wants her freedom. And I am going to trust her enough to have it.She is in the garden for some reason, and I am just glad that she hasn't blocked me out of the bond. I can feel her, and everything that she has been doing so far.“You miss me?” She asks through the mind link, and I can't help but smile.She can talk to me through the mind link, even when she isn't a wolf.Nova is just someone that we can't understand. I can understand her frustration about not knowing who she is. A part of me is confused at some point.She is the golden vessel to them. But to me, she is Nova. My mate. Nothing more, nothing less.“I always miss you,” I mutter back.I am watching every single person as I stand at the terrace. Every singl
CHAPTER 64NOVA'S POVIt is hard sleeping when it feels like you're being chased in your dreams. Every fucking time I try to close my eyes, I can see her there. All chained up. Barely able to move. And I can't help but feel guilty.Like I'm at fault somehow. The tears that are falling down her face are my fault, but I can't prove it.I toss on the bed one more time, clutching to the pillows. I have to sleep somehow. It is only going to be a while until I have eyebags and dark circles.I slowly close my eyes, and I can see the chains again. I can hear screaming. And then, there are glowing eyes. Her eyes.Cassian's emotions shoot through the bond like a knife. He is angry and repressive. I can't help but imagine that it is because of what one of the pack members said about me. That is the only thing that has managed to get him angry in the past few days.Underneath all that anger, I can feel something else. His softness. His fear.His fear is making me feel unstable, and I clutch to th
