Nova’s POV

I never really thought I would be 18 and stood in my closet trying to choose an outfit that said “I am adult and capable enough to participate in trials of traitors, despite being a serial kidnap victim.” But here I am.

I had to be at the Central Courts in one hour for the first day of the trial of Max this morning and then then creepy twins this afternoon. Turns out they have names and are Melissa and Ellie Eldridge and despite looking like haunted 80 years olds are only 40. They just keep getting weirder.

I pick out a simple dark blue maxi dress and some ballet flats then sit down for Hannah to do my hair.

She gives me a gentle smile as she starts brushing it. She starts humming softly to herself. Hannah does this sometimes when she's concentrating, I never recognise the tunes but I always find them comforting.

As she tames my crazy, red frizz into something respectable at the nape of my neck, I start to relax a little.

“It’s going to be fine” she says to me. I meet her

    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
