NOVA

"Nova, this is Zeke, my beta and secretary," Rydar tells me as he settles beside me on the couch. Zeke flashes me a smile.

"I've heard a lot about you, Nova. It's nice to finally meet her royal highness," Zeke says, and I blink, confused. Undoubtedly, the joke is lost on me.

"Uh...nice to meet you too, I guess," I say, and he refocuses his gaze on the projector screen in front of us, a soft smile tugging at his lips.

The projector comes alive with what looks like camera footage, and Rydar tenses beside me. At first, I can't tell what I'm looking at because it's raining heavily. But with a closer look, I realize it's Rhydar and my brother, Leo.

Leo seems angry. Rhydar is hurrying after him, trying to stop him, but my brother seems determined to get away from him. Suddenly, Leo stops and pushes Rhydar on the chest, but he barely budges.

"Boss, do you recognize this scene?" Zeke asks, and Rhydar frowns.

"That's the abandoned library behind us. I don't—" His voice trails of

  • The Boy In His Bed Is A Girl    Chapter 048

    RHYDAR I've been pacing outside the Director's office for what feels like hours. Back and forth, like a caged animal.I shouldn't care this much. I shouldn't feel my chest knotting with every tick of the clock, imagining what they're saying to her in there. What they might do to her.When the door finally clicks open, I nearly lunge forward. Nova steps out, her expression steady, her lips curved in that familiar maddening little smile."I'm fine," she says, brushing off the tension like it's nothing. "It was only an official warning. Because of...Diana."Annoyance sinks into me. Diana who thought she could lay a hand on Nova and ended up getting what she deserved. If anything, Nova should've gotten compensation, not a damn warning.But her smile...fuck me. I forget to breathe for a second. She looks at me, her eyes glinting. My muse.The words I'd prepared vanish. Instead, I wordlessly just stare at her.Then my body moves before my brain catches up. I curl my fingers around her

    NOVA"Uriel!"The word tears out of me, my lungs straining as I sprint towards him. His feet are thrashing, his hands clawing uselessly at his throat. There's no rope, no hand, nothing holding him up."Shit, shit, shit—" My fingers wrap around his arm, trying to pull him down. The second my skin brushes against the sigil, fire shoots up my palm. The burn is so painful that I nearly yank my hand away, but I don't. I can't."Uriel, breathe! Come on, don't you dare—"The glow intensifies, crawling under his skin, and his veins light up like molten cracks. My vision blurs."Little mouse, step back."I look up at the sound of a strained, hoarse voice.I spin, and there he is. Rhydar. My stubborn mate. He's staggering down the corridor, his face pale. He shouldn't be walking around."Rhydar, don't...you're not—"He ignores me, of course. Instead, he staggers right to Uriel, one hand braced on the wall to steady himself. His palm hovers over the sigil, and a crackle of energy shoots down his

    NOVA "I can literally see the wheels in your head spinning," Rhydar tells me from his position on the couch. A little bit of color has returned to his face, but he still doesn't look okay.Mina left thirty minutes ago, and I am literally spiraling into a web of frustration and desperation."You're afraid," Rhydar suddenly croaks, the sound of his deep voice startling me. He sounds awfully serious for once.I blink at him, trying not to show how rattled I am."You don't have to pretend, little mouse. Not with me," he tells me, his gaze locked on mine."Why do you assume that I'm afraid? You think I'm scared of you? If so, I'd have you know that I am not—""No," he utters softly, shifting slightly on the couch with a tiny wince."You're terrified of your feelings," he goes on to say, and I blink furiously, my stomach tightening.He's right.The realization slams into me at full force.I'm terrified of what I feel for him. Hell, I'd seen the visions. He stabbed my brother. He...ki

    NOVA "He doesn't look okay. What's wrong with him?" Mina asks as she stares at Rhydar, who's curled on the couch with a blanket haphazardly thrown over his body. Courtesy of me. I'm trying really hard not to strangle him. Especially in front of Mina. He compels me and then gets sick? Manipulative bastard at his peak. Now, I'm supposed to do what? Take care of him?! Ugh! I want to scream. 'He took care of us until his body gave out, Nova,' Summer tells me, and I bare my teeth, pissed by the fact that my heartbeat instantly falters. "Don't just stand there, Nova. Do something. He isn't breathing right," Mina says, awkwardly brushing his hair away from his damp forehead. Judging from how fast her heart is beating and the way her ears have turned red, I am a hundred percent sure that she's enjoying seeing Rhydar like this. Someone has a crush. Goddess, I hate that I sound bitter thinking about it. ‘Admit it, you’re jealous,’ Summer tells me. Me? Jealous? Ridiculous. Clen

    RHYDAR Nova is staring at something I can't see, her eyes wide and wet. And that makes me uncomfortable on all grounds.My little mouse has a mouth that never shuts and a tongue sharp enough to draw blood even without fangs, and now she's...crying.I freeze.It's the first time she isn't snarling at me or rolling those beautiful eyes. She just collapses into herself, tears streaming down her face.And I...I'm pathetic enough to pull her against me, let her soak my shirt, her face buried against my chest.Her sobs are ugly, raw, and unpolished. The kind you can't fake. And somehow, it makes my chest ache. Is it because of the bond? I can't help but wonder. Or maybe I have fallen farther than I think.My fingers find her hair, stroking the short strands as if I'm capable of calming anyone.I should let her cry alone. But I don't.Director Astoria's voice claws through my skull again: 'Your father is rallying the Council. If they agree, they'll drag you back under his leash. He's

    NOVA My life flashes before my eyes as my stalker attacks me faster than I can process, the knife slicing right across my upper arm. I let out a cry of pain as blood drops onto the floor rapidly. Summer growls in defense, ready to defend me."Who the hell are you?" I demand, pressing my palm to the wound.They lunge at me, and this time, I smoothly move out of the way, knocking my elbow under their jaw with a force that rattles them big time.I don't wait for my attacker to recover, I knock my forehead into their nose and maneuver their arm, yanking hard until the bloody knife clatters on the floor.Breathless, I punch them in the gut hard enough to knock the air out of their lungs. Then I pin them against the wall, yanking the hood off their head. My eyes go wide when long golden hair spills down this person's back.My eyes go wide when I see that my stalker is a girl. Wait...she looks familiar.Her angry brown eyes clash with mine. That's when I recall that I'd once seen her wi
