Novas shift takes awhile. Much longer than a wolf her age should take. I feel bad for her and wish there was something I could do to help her but unfortunately she needs to keep shifting to get over the worst of it. Lucifer waits patiently for her shift to finish and I sit in the back of control maybe one day they will be able to work together like we do I muse “no one works as well as we do” Lucifer answers. I shrug. When Novas shift is finished I stare on in shock. She’s golden like a retriever kind of but she looks stunning in the moon light. Nala stands up and howls at the moon. I can feel the vibrations of happiness coming off her in waves. “Not surprising”Lucifer growls “she’s barely allowed to shift”. She darts off into the forest and Lucifer trots to her side. We will let her stretch and explore before the training starts. “Agreed” Lucifer reply’s easily keeping up with her. She hits the lake and stops taking time to cool down and lap up the water. Lucife

I hold my breath as I hear movements behind the door. After a few seconds the door swings open and Matt stares at me with a blank expression. “Lucas room is down the hall” his voice is laced with anger. “I’m not looking for Luca” god this is so awkward. “What do you want Nova?” I push past him and walk into his room. Jesus I thought my suite was big , his room is big enough to be a whole house on its own. As I look around I realise it’s minimalistic but there’s nothing here that makes it his own. No clothes or decorations, no hint at the person he is. It may as well be a hotel room. He glares at me from his spot at the door “I said what do you want?” Why’s he being so cold I wonder. “What’s wrong with you? Why are you being like this?” I try to keep my voice light so he doesn’t here the anxiety in my voice. He starts laughing and I have to focus on keeping my self standing in the same spot and not fidget. “What did you and Luca get up to last night?” I can hear the a

It’s almost lunchtime so I head to the kitchen and start throwing some sandwiches together. Leah had pooped out earlier on to pick some things up from the pack centre and Luca was on patrol but I figured one or both of them was bound to be back at some point so I make sure to make enough for everyone. I grab a bottle of water from the fridge when I hear the kitchen door open behind me. I turn to see Matt. He smiles at me but it doesn’t reach his eyes. “Your just in time, help yourself” I say and point to the mountain of food left on the counter. He grabs one and walks to the table and I move to join him. He looks so distracted. “What’s wrong?” He looks at me and shakes his head “sorry just had a concerning meeting” his forehead wrinkles as he thinks “anything I can do to help?” I offer he sighs and shakes his head again “not unless you know where I can find a living wolf from the pack that attacked us”. That’s weird “you mean from the day I arrived?” He nods slowly “

Say what you want about Celeste but she’s accurate as fuck. I watch Leah and Adam cling to each other like they are afraid someone will separate them. Most people just want someone to love and be loved in return. Leah could of stayed mated to Jack and be miserable for the rest of her life yet here she stands with her fated mate already so in love and devoted after 5 minutes tops. Further proof that the right mate will feel right. Feel like home. Leah smiles at me and I smile back. The twins have been so excited they haven’t stopped talking. “So” Miles says with a big grin “ I guess your family now Leah”. She looks around sheepishly looking unsure how to answer. “Your lucky” I tell her and place my hand on her shoulder to show her my support “ a mate and a new family” I say with a smile. Her eyes snap to mine and she looks panicked for a moment “Nova no matter what happens you are still family to me too” she says her voice high pitched. “And you are still family to me too

I knew I shouldn’t do it. But I’d seen how her powers link to her emotions. I felt like a cock as every cruel word left my lips. See her face flit from pain to anger. I watch as her power grows and for a moment I really think she might attack me but she turns and unleashes on the statue. A massive cocoon swallows her and the statue as gold and purple lights filter through. “Remarkable” dr Steven muses as I step closer to try and keep an eye on Nova but I can’t see through the wall of her magic. Noises start to deep through and it sounds like breaking glass. “Nova?” I call but get no answer. She either can’t hear me or she’s majorly pissed with me, I’m not sure which is worse. Dr Stevens steps forward and try’s to touch the cocoon but pulls his hand back with a whimper. I look down at his hand and see scorch marks on his palm slowly disappearing as his healing kicks in. He opens his mouth to say something when the cocoon starts to dissolve from the top. I try to peer
