We had been exploring our rooms for ten or so minutes when there was light knocking at Clayton’s door. He walked to the door and upon opening it we saw a pretty girl with caramel coloured skin and curly raven hair. She curtsied in a simple baby blue dress before saying to Clayton,” I have the luggage of you and Beta Nova. Where would you like me to put it?” Clayton replied, “ Thank you for delivering them in such a timely and officiant manner. You can just leave them on our respective beds and we can unpack ourselves. The bags should have name tags if you have trouble figuring out who’s is who’s.” She nodded slightly before taking the bags off a trolley. Once she finished we quickly unpacked haphazardly not bothering to keep things folded. Both of us were too hungry to care much about our clothes getting creased. We started the trek down to the first floor for some food. I’m not sure what was cooking but it smelled delicious! I had never smelt something this delectable. The smell wa
I didn’t think. I just pulled my arm out of his grip and ran. Elly was screaming at me for leaving our Mate but I needed to think.Yes, I want a Mate. However if my Mate was a guest here he was most probably a ranked member of a pack. In that case he would expect me to leave Ash Wood. This was something I really didn’t want to do. I already lost a home three years ago. I wasn’t prepared to lose another. Besides who knew if my Mate’s pack would let me bring my siblings. I would and could never leave them. I was all they had left and I promised Dad I would take care of them. I closed my mind to the pack link knowing that Clayton would try talking to me. Being Alpha he could still come through if he tried hard enough but luckily he didn’t. He knew me well enough to know I needed to be alone. After running outside I entered a patch of trees behind the castle before climbing up the tallest. I sat there in deep thought. I wasn’t sure how long I had been sittin
I went back to my room after storming off. Clayton was standing there waiting for me by the desk. “ I could sense your distress through the link. I hope you don’t mind but I let myself in. Wanna talk?,” he gently inquired.“ I’m sorry I know I’m acting like an idiot. I hoped that my mate would be a rogue to join our pack or at least a non-ranked member if they had a pack. But just my luck my mate isn’t only an Alpha but he’s the Alpha of the Black-hide pack! The goddess obviously likes fucking with my life! Even if I can look past his pack I’ll need to leave Ash Wood. Who knows how changing things would affect the kids. And the second he knows who my parents are, he will probably decide to reject me! My grandfather killed his mother for Goddess sake! Plus I hear that both him and his father hate hunters with a passion. I’m a werewolf and sure hunters don’t have abilities but I’m still proud to be one. It’s the Order of Orion that are evil not hunters themselves. It’s b
Harvey’s POV I’ve never been so confused in my damn life. I finally find my Mate and after making a colossal dick out myself in the cafeteria she bolted. When I finally managed to track her down to apologize I thought things were going well until I told her who I was. I’m not sure what happened but she had jumped down without missing a beat. What I could see of her face at the time also looked extremely angry and maybe a little sad.Does she have some grudge against me or my pack? I know she has never been exiled by my pack. If she had I would have seen her before. I hadn’t heard from Echo since she ran off earlier. He’s depressed and sulking in the back of my mind. So no help there.I went to my room so I could think. Besides if I went to find her right now she would probably just run away again. My ego was already hurt as it was.I opened my door and saw that Paul wasn’t around. Thank the Goddess. I didn’t want to answer questions about Nova. I couldn’t help
HARVEY’S POVI had barely been waiting and hour when my dad emailed me all the requested files. I began sifting through them immediately. I started with incidents involving rogues. As to me it seemed to be the most likely reason she had a grudge against me. I didn’t remember ever seeing her face before so the possibility she was exiled was unlikely. However I couldn’t find anything pointing her in these files I could look at those exiled. Even if she wasn’t banished it could possibly be that we exiled someone she cared for.I had been reading nearly fourty or so minutes when Paul came in. His expression looked a bit concerned. Worried I asked him, “ What if anything could you find out?”“ I found out a few things that are a bit odd and concerning. It turns out the pack they are registering is called Ash Wood and has many supernaturals not just Werewolves. They also have many Spell-casters, Vampires and even have Hunters in their so called pack!”I jumped up
NOVA’S POVAfter waking up I got up to get ready for the day. I spent some time thinking and talking with Elly last night. We decided that we should give Harvey a chance. He wasn’t the person who exiled my parents. It was his father and I came to the conclusion that I shouldn’t judge him on the actions of his father.I was extremely excited to see him. I usually didn’t pay much attention to my appearance but today I wanted to impress Harvey. Especially after my behaviour yesterday.After putting on a cute pair of black leggings and a blue tank top, I did my hair and makeup. I straightened my hair before putting on some lipstick, eyeliner and mascara. I didn’t bother with foundation as it would only make me break out. Once I was satisfied with my appearance I knocked on Clayton’s door.“Morning,” Clayton yawned loudly before continuing. “ What’s up? The meeting doesn’t start till 9:30 and it’s still only 6am?”“Well,” I paused a moment embarrassed before
NOVA’s POVI was momentarily filled with excitement. Maybe I had misread Paul’s expression and he was just looking at me from curiosity. After all I am his Alpha’s Mate which would presumably make me his future Luna.I broke into a wide grin before asking, “ Oh! Sorry I shouldn’t have jumped on you like that. I’m Nova. Nice to meet you.”“Is Harvey around?” I adopted a more embarrassed expression before continuing.” To be honest I reacted poorly to meeting him yesterday. I think I just needed some time to process the idea of changing packs. So I was hoping to talk with him.”Paul’s expression softened softly before awkwardly telling me, “ Well, after getting some interesting news he went for an impromptu hunt. I don’t think he’s returned yet. I can’t even asked him because Harvey is blocking our mind-link.”Hearing this I felt more than a bit disappointed. After all I fucked up royally with my reaction yesterday. I really just want to talk wit
Harvey’s POV After running out on Paul last night I was full of internal chaos. My thoughts were completely in opposition with one another.On one hand I was thrilled at finally finding my mate. After all who wouldn’t want to meet the other half of their soul? Besides that, she was more beautiful than the goddess Aphrodite herself. When I first got a good look at her I was ensnared by her blonde, flowing hair that was pulled back to reveal a lean, lived in face. Wide emerald green eyes, set well within their sockets, glaring at me. Even in anger her beauty was hypnotizing. However, as well as being my mate she was also a Hunter. Their was nothing I hated more than Hunter’s. That side of her lineage was in conflict with my sense of right and wrong.The Order of Orion was responsible for my mother’s death. It was thanks to Hunters that I had grown up without a mother. I have been an infant when they had murdered her. Not only w
