Nova’s POVOur pack house wasn’t as large as most pack houses, but our pack also wasn’t very large yet. I felt like this would probably change as we were getting new members regularly. After all most packs assumed all rogues were blood thirsty criminals. It was even rarer for a pack to admit multiple species. This made our pack a safe haven for any rogue supernatural or hunter who just wanted home.Sure some more progressive packs would let someone of a different species join but only if their mate was in the pack. However, Most packs would kick out members who had a mate from a different species though. What a load of shit! Every time I thought about that and how most of our members had been rogues for that exact reason it pissed me off!The pack house was roughly the size of a church. It had an open concept living and dining room with stairs leading up to the Alpha residence. Through a door off the dining room you had to cut through the kitchen to reach the offices of our ranked mem

The first thing to capture my attention upon seeing the castle up close was twelve beautiful square towers that seemingly pierced the heavens. They were connected by reinforced wide walls and the whole thing looked to be made of white granite. Tall, wide windows were scattered across the walls in an asymmetric pattern. Along with symmetric hole, presumably for archers in the case of attack. Intricately decorated wooden doors marked the entrance of this gleaming fortress. Looking at it gave me a feeling of awe and intimidation.“I don’t know what’s so impressive about it. I prefer the forest around our territory”Elly commented in my mind. “Of course you do,” I mentally replied while internally rolling my eyes. I agreed that the forest around our pack was great but that didn’t mean I couldn’t appreciate the beauty of this castle at the same time. Walking, I took a moment to look at the courtyard as well. A large area to my left, with moss coloured grass had multiple warriors training a

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

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

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
