NOVA I hadn't told Asriel about what I saw in my vision, but I kept thinking about it while we were walking back home. "The things we see in our visions… are they real?" I finally asked him. "Or perhaps it's just a metaphor that requires deep interpretation…" He chuckled. "I can't answer that question. The first time I drank the elixir, I saw a scene from my past, something I had forgotten about. Elixir helped me realize the importance of that event. Another time, I saw a person stealing money from me. It turned out to be true, made him give everything back with interest." Then he grabbed my hand and smiled at me. "You also appeared in one of my visions." I swallowed, and my lips stretched into an awkward grin. "What kind of a vision was that?" He brought my hand to his lips and kissed it. "I hope that it was the future." I slid my hand away from him, still feeling the tingling that his lips left on my skin. I had to admit that, at some point, I started to consider Asriel as the p

NOVAI had enough. I couldn't take it anymore. I had to get as far away from this place as possible. Screw that! I could live anywhere else in the world! I didn't need a man by my side! I didn't need… love…My heart clearly thought otherwise. The wave of pain I felt at the mere thought of my loveless life was proof of it. Pathetic. My life couldn't be fucked up that much. My fate couldn't just sentence me to everlasting torment. Where was the end of the storm above me?I kept walking, uncertain of where I was going, until I found myself in the shopping district, right in front of Cassandra's boutique. I gulped. Did she have the answers I was looking for? Was I ready to know everything about my fate...?Chills ran down my spine, but I took a deep breath and walked toward the door. I slowly placed my hand on the door handle and immediately heard Cassandra's voice coming from inside."Come in, Nova. I've been waiting for you," she said, a chuckle lacing her voice.Of course. She told me

FELIXI had spent more than an hour trying to calm down Lya. I was sitting on her bed, holding her in my arms. She kept weeping, her hands snaking around me. She seemed so vulnerable and desperate. She kept telling me that Nova hated her. I was listening to her words, but a part of me wished that she would just remain silent.Whenever I heard Lya, I could sense nothing but the truth. Even when I strengthened my senses, I heard no hesitation in her voice. Her eyes were wide open and filled with an intense blend of emotions. I took it as a sign of her honesty, but the more I thought about it, the more questions appeared in my mind. I had always been calculative and reasonable, but now I feared that my entire judgment had been clouded by the power of the mate bond."Fuck!" I bellowed, punching the wall in my office until my hands bled. It was three in the morning, and I knew that I was running out of time. If I didn't find the right solution soon, Nova could die."Felix, stop!" Eric yell

NOVAThere were more than a dozen of them, and everyone moved toward me. I could see blood from fresh kills still dripping from their claws and fur. They were looking at me with eyes filled with bloodlust. It was obvious that they were the ones who killed the warriors from the Moon Blade Pack. Now they were going to add my body to the pile of bloody corpses.The invisibility spell took a lot of my energy. I needed to plan my fight wisely. I needed to choose between attacking them or defending myself with a shield. Casting both types of spells at a time would only drain me soon…I breathed deeply and observed them approach me. A few of them licked their mouths and teeth, looking at me as if they were going to feast on my flesh. My whole body trembled. There were too many of them, and I didn't know too many spells powerful enough to fight them. Was there even a chance that I would defeat them?One of them was larger than the others. He acted like a leader, gesturing for the rest to come

NOVA I needed to process the facts... Asriel was a lycan, and not just any lycan—he was the Lycan King. He had Maren, and, as I assumed, many witches like her, by her side. Well, I shouldn't be surprised. I saw a glimpse of his warlock power at the club, and I knew that he could have killed that girl nearly effortlessly. Moreover, someone as egocentric as Maren called him Master... That fact alone forced me to wonder if Asriel wasn't capable of wiping out at least half of the Earth with a snap of his fingers. From what I knew, the leader of the lycans was the one responsible for the constant killings on the Crimson Mountain Pack's borders. That meant that he was merciless and brutal… I had seen how he fought against all those lycans—he ripped their bodies to shreds. Then he walked over to me and caused me pain as if it was nothing. Thinking about it filled me with all kinds of anxieties. He said he had a reason to cut me. What kind of sick reason could that be?! Furthermore, why did
