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
NOVA My brain has melted into a puddle at my feet. It shouldn't make sense that I'm enjoying the way Rhydar's lips move against mine. Goddess, I can feel him everywhere. He's literally in my bloodstream. And I want more.He kisses me harder, drawing strangled moans from my lips as my hands nestle around his head, my fingers shamelessly exploring the wavy strands of hair at the back of his head.Rhydar holts me up effortlessly.He’s surprisingly considerate of my bruised-up body. But I don't care about that right now. All I care about is the sensual kisses he's trailing along my neck. I'm a moaning mess at this point, my eyes closed in ecstasy.But it's not enough. I need him so bad.Logical me has officially clocked out.A loud pounding at the door has me jerking away from him, my chest heaving. My eyes are wide, my heart racing. It feels like I just had a freaking out of body experience. No, that wouldn't be true because I know I felt it. Down to my frigging toes."Who the fuc
NOVA I can confidently tell you that right now, I'm looking into the eyes of death. They're pitch black and bottomless, empty and terrifying."Fight!" The instructor yells, and Lucas smirks at me. I can still see the dried blood caked under his nose from Rhydar's furious fists."Come at me, Leo. Don't be such a pussy!" He hisses at me, and I clench my fists tight, positioning myself with my hands up on guard.'Breathe, Nova. I've got you,' Summer tells me.'So, you can make full sentences now?' I retort.'Yep, our Alpha helped us a lot, especially his abs...'I want to roll my eyes so bad. But I can't do that. Not when I'm one punch away from migrating to the afterlife.Goddess, the size of his fists is inhumane.Growling, Lucas lunges at me, and Summer surges forward. 'Go, Nova!' Lucas' fist collides with my ribs, and the world caves in. Pain detonates across my chest, stealing the air from my lungs. I double over, gasping, clutching at the ground for balance. The crowd's roa
RHYDAR I really, really don't like that look on her face. Ever since this morning when we had breakfast together, she's been sneaking glances at me, thinking I wouldn't notice. She forgets that I notice everything. I'm obsessed enough to count every single breath she takes.And I hate that I can't tell what she's thinking. She seemed to have cracked the code overnight. Every time I get close to hearing her thoughts, she suddenly thinks about the most disgusting things or imagines static noise.And due to this new strategy of hers, I have a massive headache right now."Kane, eyes on the board," the instructor, an old man, grits out, his eyes flashing silver. I barely pay any attention to him, my gaze is fixed on Nova. I don't want to ever get used to not being able to read her fucking mind. It's only been a few hours, but I'm already losing my mind."Creed," I hiss, and she stiffens, her pen halting for a fraction of a second.Nova refuses to look me in the eye."Eyes on the board
NOVA On edge, I watch as Rhydar heads towards the door, his expression blank. His movements are graceful as usual. But there's a dangerous edge to it now. Slowly, he halts in front of the door, pinching the bridge of his nose. Then he opens it and promptly punches someone in the face. Someone I barely get a glimpse of before they are knocked off their feet."Really, Lucas? You're stalking me now? Do you yearn for death that badly, hmm?" Rhydar's tone is lighthearted but lethal. And I don't even know how it's possible. All I know is that he's terrifying."You're hiding your little bitch in there, aren't you? Bet you're fucking him. I wouldn't blame you. His peachy ass is round and—"Lucas doesn't get to finish his statement. Because that's when Rhydar starts pummeling his face until I can hear the wet sound of blood spattering. At this rate he's going to kill him. And as much as I don't care about what happens to Rhydar, we absolutely can't draw attention to ourselves. So, I gra
NOVA Theo's face is so red. It makes me wonder if he's about to explode. If he were a cartoon character, he'd definitely be a balloon. Okay, I know that wasn't funny. And now isn't the time to be joking, but I'm panicking big time. Goddess, it feels like Theo is finally catching on. What if he knows everything already and just wants confirmation from us? What if he has some super weird ability just like Uriel and has been actively waiting for us to come clean to him?Ugh! I'm going to be sick.Theo's gaze snaps to me, dark and suspicious. "Are you just going to pretend that you didn't hear me?"His gaze darts to Rhydar, and the idiot holds his hands up, a smug look on his face. "You too. Why are you ignoring me?" Theo hisses.I bite my lower lip, panicking. My wolf growls beneath my skin, impatient and hungry to lash out, but I clamp down, forcing myself to stay upright, to pretend I'm Leo.Rhydar doesn't even flinch. He tilts his head, letting his aura press down enough to inti
