Gossip
NOVALast night I had a nightmare. I was standing in the middle of a courtroom filled with wolves that were cursing me, snarling at me, yelling at me... My hands were cuffed with enchanted silver, and my feet were bare. When my trial began, Felix turned out to be my judge. He was looking at me without a single ounce of affection. Then he read aloud the indictment, which stated that I was accused of attempted murder.I shouted that it wasn't me, that I was innocent, but no one listened, and no one believed me. Felix stared at me with disdain and sentenced me to death. I begged him to hear me out. I kneeled before him and cried, but he walked down from the podium, smiled darkly, and cut my throat…I woke up screaming. My eyes opened wide, and tears streamed down my cheeks. I pressed my hand to my chest, trying to stop my heart from bursting out of my chest. My entire body was covered in sweat, but I was shivering as if I was freezing in the middle of summer. The sudden knock on my door

No longer safe
NOVAI opened my eyes and found myself staring at the unfamiliar ceiling. I was lying on a bed covered in silver silk sheets, and this bed certainly wasn't my own. Cinnamon. Everything around smelled like cinnamon—a perfect mix of spicy and sweet. I lifted myself to sit and looked around. The room was brightly saturated by the sunlight falling from the floor-to-ceiling windows. The wall, ceiling, and floor color tones drifted from dark grey through dove-like shades to white, giving the impression that this place was impeccably clean. Suddenly, the door in front of me opened, and Asriel walked inside, carrying a glass of water. He was wearing a black shirt with an unbuttoned collar and rolled-up sleeves, and a pair of black pants. A few strands of his black ruffled hair fell on his forehead, filling me with an irresistible urge to comb them up with my fingers."You're awake." He smiled and handed me the glass of water.My lips curled up nervously. "H-how did I get here?"He sat on the

Not-healing
NOVAI couldn't sleep. I was lying in my bed with my eyes open, and I stared at my trembling palms. I hurt someone. My powers had always served to heal people, but for the first time in my life, I used magic to cause pain. I watched blood flowing from their mouths and the wide streams of red covering their fingers, and I felt no regret. They deserved it, and attacking them was the best kind of defense I could think of. Even so, deep in my mind, I felt that I had crossed a line I had never thought I'd cross.I wished I could have told Felix what happened. That lack of signal around the packhouse was pissing me off even more than before. I needed him to comfort me. I needed him to hug me and say that I hadn't done anything wrong. I needed him to tell me that we would be together again soon. I needed him...The stress must have drained me at some point because the next thing I knew, the alarm clock roughly pulled me out of my dreamless sleep. I rolled out of bed and forced myself to do m

Their target
FELIX Fourteen hours earlier Rainier hadn't officially passed me his Alpha title yet, but he surely did charge me with multiple responsibilities. I spent the entire morning trying to figure out how to protect the pack's borders, but then my brother brought me another piece of grim news. "There has been another attack on our borders. This time, they came from the south," Eric reported. I cursed under my breath. My blood was boiling, and I needed a moment to regain my composure. "How many?" I strained through my teeth. "Five dead, and six sent to the hospital," Eric said. "What about the lycans?" "Our warriors killed most of them, but…" Eric's mouth twisted uncomfortably. "But?" I urged. "A few of them managed to get deep into the woods of our territory, and our troupes lost them." "Damn it!" I roared, hitting the desk with my fist. Lycans became more daring and vicious. They kept attacking in small groups, and their attacks had always ended up in a bloody mess. I was yet to f

Rescued
NOVA"Shield," I mumbled a spell under my breath and watched the barrier I created shove away the three men who tried to lurch at me. I was attacked the second night in a row. This couldn't be coincidental. Nobody, not even me, was THAT unlucky.There was a guy who only stayed a few steps away while others attacked. He stared at me with his terrifying golden eyes while his thin lips formed a cold smirk. "Stop playing with her! We were ordered to get her, so just do it!" he yelled at others.The five other men nodded and started to shift, their clothes turning into shreds as they grew taller and more massive. I watched their transformation and gulped. Instead of landing on their four paws, they remained standing on their two feet. I had never seen lycans before, but I think I was looking at them right now..."Oh, Goddess Hecate," I muffled a squeak with my hand. My body started to tremble. Not because I found the creatures before me horrifying, but because I realized I had seen a beast

Preparations
FELIXI watched Nova sleep. She was lying in my arms, her head resting on my chest, her breath caressing my skin. I felt like I had been longing for this kind of bliss for eternity. She shifted in her sleep, and a soft moan escaped her lips. I chuckled and brushed her raven hair off her face. Now I fully remembered what was it like to be with her, to care for her, to feel for her...It was my fault that she was endangered last night. She wouldn't have been attacked if she could live peacefully by my side in the packhouse. I hadn't made her my priority, and she was forced to pay the price for my choices. I should have protected her better. Instead, I had naively thought that she would be safe living in Scarletville. I couldn't have been more wrong.In the morning, Holden confirmed that all the women on the lycans' target list were witches. Nova said that those fuckers wanted to kidnap her rather than kill her. That made me guess that they planned to capture all the witches living in th

The Mating Ball
NOVA My heart was pounding all night, stealing away my sleep. Something odd filled the air, and that something was far from pleasant. Yet, I told myself that it was normal to feel such anxiety before tonight. With the Blood Moon reaching its peak, the fated mates were going to feel their bond. Would I be able to feel it too? Felix told me that we would take fate into our own hands and would be together no matter if we were fated mates or not. I wanted nothing more than that, but could we truly make it happen? Felix was going to become an Alpha soon, and he would need a Luna by his side—a she-wolf Luna. I doubted that anyone in this pack would accept a Luna who was a witch unless that witch was Alpha's destined mate. The more I thought about it, the more restless I was... "Get a grip, Nova!" I yelled at my reflection in the mirror. "You will go to that ball, you will freaking shine, and then you will stay together with the man you love!" My confidence and good mood lasted exactly th

Mate
NOVA I stood in the middle of the ballroom, staring at the large door in front of me. According to Eric, all the male wolves would walk through that door in a little less than fifteen minutes. I kept rubbing my sweaty palms together. My heart was racing. I sucked in shallow breaths, clamping my mouth like an idiot and most likely resembling a dying fish. Every second spent waiting in this place felt like torture… "Here, drink this. It'll calm your nerves," I heard a gentle female voice and saw a glass of champagne brought in front of my eyes. I smiled awkwardly and took the glass. "Thank you…" I turned toward my savior and almost choked on the last note. Lya Crain smiled at me. "You're welcome." Then she gently prodded my shoulder. "Don't worry, we are all nervous. This night can determine our entire lives. It's normal to be nervous." Lya was as astonishing as in my vision. She was dressed in a cream-colored gown decorated with glittering golden scales, making her look like an emb

Mine
FELIXI was staring at the stunning blonde beauty before me. Everything within me kept telling me that she was mine. How could that be? We were standing in the middle of the ballroom, surrounded by aroused and rejoiced newly found pairs of mates. Perhaps I should enjoy my happiness as well, but somehow the word "mate" left a sour taste on the tip of my tongue.Just the night before the Blood Moon, I wanted to spend my entire life together with Nova, but just a few moments ago, I looked into her eyes and felt nothing. Then I watched her leave the ballroom, surprised by my own indifference. Is that how the mate bond was supposed to work? Was I truly destined to hurt the one person who was willing to sacrifice everything for me?"Um… You must be confused... Believe me, so am I." Lya smiled hesitantly, taking my hand in hers. "I'm sorry for Nova too, but she should have predicted it."I frowned. "What?"She chuckled nervously and stroked my palm with her slender fingertips. "I mean… a mat

Visions
NOVAFive hours earlierAsriel held my hand and led me through a dark, narrow alley. Any other day—or rather, any other night—I would be anxious about where we were going, but now, I felt too numb to care. He said that this place would help me heal my pain, and I wanted to believe him."We're almost there," he said, pointing at the end of the block.He led us to an old, creepy-looking building with one steel-enforced door. A sliver of rationality struck me, and I gave him a nervous smile. "Are you sure we came to the right place?"He smirked and knocked on the steel surface. The door was opened by a six-foot-tall, bulky bouncer. He saw Asriel and instantly bowed so low that he folded in half. Then, without saying a word, he stepped to the side and gestured at us to come in. I gulped and glanced at Asriel. He winked at me and pointed at the dimly lit corridor. "After you," he said.I took a deep breath and started walking forward. A few steps later, I started to hear a distant mix of d
