INICIAR SESIÓNNova's POV.I quickly ran to call the guards to help her. With their help, Corvina was taken to the healer's place and in no time the small room was filled with the royal family.It had already been four long hours and Corvina was yet to wake up. I tried not to think negatively but the thought of Corvina dying constantly came to mind, making it difficult to breathe.My stepfather paced back and forth, his gaze lingering on Corvina's pale frame. My mother sat on the right side of the bed. And Jake sat on the left with Corvina's head in his thighs. Everyone was worried and from the attitude they gave off, I didn't think it would be right to explain how she fell.The healer soon stopped his treatment, rising to his feet with his eyes examining Corvina's frame. And as he did that, she slowly regained consciousness."Oh thank the goddess! She's awake!" My mother exclaimed with so much relief that you'd think Corvina was her daughter.Jake rubbed Corvina's palm softly while my stepfather mo
Nova's POV."Yes, I would."Even though I'd agreed to it, a little part of me knew that Corvina and my mother would never agree to this.I didn't know why they didn't want me around him, I was curious to find out why. As Killian had never done anything to hurt me, or sabotage me."Great. I'd go speak with Alpha Darius. In the meantime, you should prepare to come with me," Killian stated.And I simply nodded, watching his body drift away from the training ground.When he was no longer in sight, the thought of my mother's attitude came to mind. Thinking back to when I was at my previous pack, my mother snatched away my opportunity to rule.She didn't want me around any wolf who came off as powerful, nor did she want me around anything that came off as powerful. At first, I thought she wanted power for herself. But now, it was starting to feel like she was preventing me from something.But what was it?She always made sure to hit me, made me grow so afraid of her, so that I wouldn't be a
Nova's POV.I held my breath as I leaned closer, wanting to hear the rest of their conversation."Yes, he should leave soon. If he stays any longer and he gets even closer to Nova, that would be--"Corvina's voice faded into the background the moment I set my eyes on my stepfather. He looked like he'd devour me if I didn't move from the door. I quickly moved away as he got closer."What are you doing here? I thought I told you to go out to the borders," he questioned, alerting Corvina and my mother.They both stepped out, surprise etched on their faces as their gaze alternated between me and my stepfather.My mother chuckled nervously, "Since when did you get here? I thought you were leaving already."I forced a smile, "I'd come to see if I could still do what you wanted me to do. But I didn't expect the queen to be in your chambers. You too are becoming really good friends."Corvina crossed her arms, "Is that a problem to you? If it is, you can say so. Am I not permitted to be on goo
Nova's POVMy brows pulled together in surprise, "What? Why are you--""I don't recall giving you the permission to question me. Get to work. I don't want to see you anywhere near my son!" He snapped, gesturing to the borders.Oh. So that was what this was about.He wanted me away from Jake.The same person I was trying to protect from Corvina. Actually, I couldn't blame him. Just like everyone else in the pack, he must have thought I have something doing with Jake. So there was no point trying to explain.But I wouldn't leave until I'd at least spoken to Jake."Father, I accept your orders. But please give me a few minutes. I'd like to discuss something important with Jake," I explained."No. You're not speaking with him. You want to complain to him about my instructions? I can't believe Corvina was right about you. Get out of here right now!" He barked.I didn't know which was crazy-- the fact that he was now listening to Corvina, or the fact that he thought I'd grown bold enough to
Nova's POV.The stranger was draped in a white cloak, his face dark like he'd worn a mask. His body was slender and his voice was muffled. He looked dangerous and soft at the same time–like an angel and a devil.It was practically impossible to recognize who she was talking to no matter how hard I stared.But at least I could hear them clearly now.“What are your plans for the pack, Luna Corvina?” the muffled voice of the stranger came.Though his voice was muffled, I could still tell that it was rough.“Is that really why you came here? I thought I told you I'd come see you on my own. There's not much that can be done at the moment,” Corvina gritted out, her head turning side to side like she was checking if they were really alone.“Well, it was starting to feel like you'd forgotten that I'm a major part of the plan. So I came to remind you. By now, you should be the one the pack recognizes as the better leader but it seems to me that you're not serious about this,” the stranger said
Nova's POV.“Or else you'll see the other side of me!” She barked.I tried my best not to respond to that with a mocking laughter because what other side to my mother haven't I seen?Was it the side that kept a fake smile around Darius people? Or the side that tortured me without thinking twice? Or the side that constantly called me names and embarrassed me repeatedly?“Moth–Luna Seraphine, I've told you that I share a healthy friendship with Killian. And if that's a problem to you, then there's nothing I can do about it,” I stated, walking out on her before she had the chance to respond.I was tired of her controlling me, dictating how I loved and even isolating me. No daughter deserved such a mother and I didn't even care if she was my mom or not, I was going to stand up for myself.I'd had enough.My mother's voice faded in the background as I found my way through the crowd. I spotted Killian who was standing amongst the guests, apparently still waiting for me to get back. And on t
