Nova’s povI sighed for the nth time as we drove passed the last pack to get to my pack. I stretched my neck and my gaze drifted to the rear-view mirror, seeing Rezso staring back at me.After the royal Beta insisted I should take the guards with me, I declined to move around with such amount of guards and decided to wait until his Majesty returned. But Rezso stepped out and vowed to escort me to the pack in one piece.I cleared my throat and moved my gaze away from the guard who wouldn't keep his eyes off me. I moved my gaze to the window, staring at the wall of the pack we were passing by. Shayna bumped her elbow against my shoulder, leaning toward me.“What’s the problem, Princess?” she asked, resting her chin on my shoulder.I turned on the seat, making her move away from me.“I’m fine,” I gulped, finding no words to describe how I was feeling. “Are you nervous?” she teased, staring at me with a smile on her face."What could I possibly be nervous about?" I asked, arching an eyeb
Nova’s pov“Raoul, take the file to my chamber,” Prescott let out, disengaging from the hug, “you follow me, Czar.” he gave an order to the two men, he spun his feet and walked away from me.I smiled, wiping my tears with my palms before turning to face the maids who stood with their gaze on the floor."Everything is going to be okay," I flashed out a smile, trying to sound as reassuring as possible. "The King is here to help us, not to harm us. Please don't be afraid of him," I continued, my voice gentle and soothing. I hoped my words would help to calm their nerves and ease their worries. I gave them my most encouraging smile, hoping it would help to put them at ease. I pushed past them, walking towards my parents' building with both Rezso and Shayna trailing behind me.“You know…” I spun on my feet, making them hastily stop on their track. I smirked, staring at Rezso with my eyebrows raised. “You know it's not necessarily for you to keep following me around?” I asked, crossing my
Nova’s pov“You want to kill his Majesty?” I gasped, staring at her with tears streaming down my cheeks.What will happen if she got caught? What will happen if his Majesty dies in our pack? What will the powerful Lycans do us, lowly werewolves? It's no doubt, our pack would become a thing of the past. They would wipe out our species and everything about us would be history.“How dare he killed my mate when we didn't do anything to him? He dares killed the boy guy when he has nothing to do with the situation!” Tamsyn howled, piercing her arm with the dagger.Blood oozed out of the cut and she pierced it deeper into her skin."Tam, please!" I begged, my voice shaking with fear. I watched in horror as she plunged the dagger into her arm, blood oozing out of the wound. “Please think about your pup and stop this madness.” I pleaded, unable to keep up with the sight.“No,” Tamsyn laughed, the sound crazed and unhinged. She traced her thumb across her arm, smearing blood across her skin. I
Prescott’s pov"Your Majesty!" Dixon called out, his voice echoing through the hall as he jogged toward me. His heavy boots clacked against the stone floor, each step bringing him closer and closer. I turned on my heel to face him, he rushed up to me and he gave a quick bow before straightening up to meet my gaze. “Yes, Dixon, did you get anything?” I questioned, my eyebrows raised as I stared at my best warrior, shaking his head negatively."Your Majesty," he blurted out, his voice deep and breathy. “I am afraid to tell you that I was unable to get anything. It doesn't seem like the rogues are staying in this pack.” Dixon uttered, carefully picking his words.“Is that it?” I asked, staring at him with my lips pressed in a thin line.“Yes, your Majesty!” he gave a bow before straightening up.“Okay, you can retire for the night, we will check out some things outside the palace, in the morning.” I proclaimed, turning on my heel and entered into the apartment that was given to me.As
Nova’s pov“Don’t fail me!” Tamsyn gave me a sly smile, her hand leaving my cheek as she dropped down to retrieve the dagger from the floor."Keep this with you," she said, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. "I'll take it back when the time comes," she added, her eyes sparkling with amusement. I swallowed hard, my hand trembling as I took the dagger from her. I gazed at the blade, the sharpness of it making my heart race. I wasn't sure if I could handle such a responsibility, but I nodded nonetheless. Unable to utter a word."We will kill him," she said, her voice full of determination. "You will be free of him, and I will avenge the death of my mate." With that, she turned and left the room, her footsteps echoing in the empty hallway. I stood frozen in place, the full weight of her words sinking in. Could I really do what she was asking? Was I capable of taking a life, even for the sake of revenge? My thoughts were a jumbled mess, and I didn't know what to do.My hands s
Prescott’s povWaking up in Blue Moon pack was a different experience than waking up at the royal villa. I was used to the quiet stillness of the morning at the royal villa, and here, I was waking up by the melodic jingling of the bell that chimed from across the palace buildings.The sound was a little loud, but It was a soothing sound, one that brought a sense of calm to my mind. The stillness of the morning was replaced by the gentle bustle of palace members going about their daily business. With a groan, I rolled out of bed and stood up, stretching out the kinks in my body. I slid my feet into a pair of soft footwear that was laid down on the floor, their warmth was a comforting sensation on my cold toes. I took a deep breath and exhaled, trying to shake off the last remnants of sleep. I knew I had a lot to do today, but for a moment, I allowed myself to linger in the peace of the early morning before I decided to go have my mouthwash.Striding towards the bathroom, I entered and
Nova’s povAfter the awkward breakfast with the Lycan King. I returned to my room, sitting on the edge of my soft bed with a book in my hands, a knock came on the door and I moved my gaze off the book.“Yes, who's that?” I asked, my brows raised as I stared at the door, watching it creep open with a head popping inside.“Princess?” the voice called before entering my room fully. “Hey,” I smiled, recollecting she was one of the maids from the dining room earlier. “Sorry for yelling at you. I wasn't in my right sense at that time.” I uttered, giving her an apologetic look.“That’s not a problem, Princess.” she let out a nervous smile, fondling her fingers.“Why are you here?” I asked, closing the book in my hands before dropping it beside me on the bed.She seemed to have collected herself as I asked that question, she adjusted her posture and inhaled before speaking.“His Majesty, the King had asked me to call for you. He is currently at the front of the building, waiting in the car th
Prescott's povWe were standing in front of a tall shelf, I stood behind Nova with my arms crossed while she ransacked through the shelf, checking out some books in the row.I tapped my foot on the floor, checking out the bustling activities of the store with the corner of my eyes. Suddenly, my eyes landed on a guy in a black jacket, suspiciously moving into the store.I quietly moved away from Nova, not wanting to pull her attention while I strolled towards where the guy was standing.That was my purpose in coming to town, to catch any suspicious person. The rogues can be anyone and there was no way you would know if you didn't check out for their signature tattoo of blue wolf.I briskly walked to where the guy was standing seconds ago, he was no longer there. I moved my gaze towards the other side to see him entering a door that I assumed to be the restroom.I quietly trailed behind him, not wanting to raise a false alarm. The guy walked through the hallway and paused in front of a
