All Chapters of Nova: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Nova POVToday was the kind of day that was so beautiful it made me almost feel hope. The sun is shining, that late spring sunshine, where there is still a chill to the breeze but so long as you stay out of the shade it is perfectly warm.I love this time of year when the promise of warm summer nights is coming in and the new life of spring is everywhere. I was currently sat on a bench in my local park, looking at the boating lake stretched out before me.Only one couple had felt brave enough to take a paddle boat out on the water today. I wasn’t watching them, preferring to focus on the cygnets swimming next to the huge swan in the middle of the lake. Jealous of their freedom and the care their mother was taking of them.This time out of my family home was the only time I ever feel like I can breathe, and I never take it for granted. Six weeks. In six weeks, I am 18, my shift will come, and I will run from this place and never look back. This countdown is what keeps me going every da

Nova’s POVTreason. The word was just swimming around and around in my head. I could hear nothing but a roaring in my ears of my blood rushing through my head and my heart pounding in my chest.“I… I don’t understand” I managed to stutter. What was he talking about treason? I kept to myself I did nothing wrong to anyone.“Nova, I think you do” said Alpha Jeremy. Cryptically. He steepled his fingers in front of him and gave me a stern look that made me feel like he was trying to read my mind.“No Alpha” I replied shaking my head “I really don’t” tears were welling in my eyes now. Even in my worst dreams it was never like this. I felt panic threatening to smother me.“You have been telling people you have a relationship with Leo and that he is going to mark you on your 18th birthday. That he is your fated mate” He responded. I reeled in shock. I have never said such a thing, and everyone knew lying about the Alpha family was treason. Lying about fated mates even worse. To combine the tw

Nova’s POVI woke up to the strangest sensation. I felt like I wasn’t alone. But not like there was someone in the room with me but that there was someone in my mind with me. I couldn't open my eyes yet, my eye lids felt to heavy but I could feel the sensation of lying on a thin mattress on a metal bedframe.“Stay still” someone said to me, a strong female voice. “Now I am here I can help you heal but I need you to rest to make this work” she said, I was so confused.Whose talking I asked?I am Atari. I am your wolf. Said the voice.I was just even more confused. Unless I had been asleep 6 weeks I could not have a wolf yet.The moon goddess has gifted me to you early. She told me To help you survive what’s coming. You have a lot of great things to achieve Nova Lawrence but first you have to face more trials. I am here to help Atari says to me.I don’t like the ominous sound of that. Atari laughs softly in my head. Sorry little human she says to me, I don’t like it either, but we have

Novas POVI am not sure when I lost consciousness. The main indicator that I did was waking up. I realise I am lying back on the bed in the white room. Everything hurts. Everything. Even just blinking. I reach out for Atari. She is there, but quiet and whimpering. That’s a very bad sign.I’m here. She whispers to me, I just need more sleep, I’ve healed some of the damage. I knocked you out do you didn’t have to see what they were doing.I wanted to ask what they did. I wanted to ask what needed healing but at the same time the answer terrified me. Remembering the looks on the faces of the people in that room made me think that I never want to know what happened.I lay there trying to stay as still as I could. You would think having lived the last few years in almost daily pain that I would be able to just grin and bare it like I normally did but something about this burning in my torso and my limbs was much rawer and I felt like my nerves were exposed.I lifted my head slightly and co

Leo’s POVI could tell the moment the painkillers the doctor had given Nova kicked in. A sense of relief washed over me as the burning sensation was soothed. Two hours later Dr Woods came out with a nurse I didn’t know but she looked like she had been crying so I sense she knew Nova pretty well. I just didn’t know why. Nova didn’t get sick much as far as I knew.“How is she doctor?” I asked jumping up to greet him.He looked around and then dropped his voice. “Not out here.” He said pointing to his office. “None of her family are here, are they?” he asked“Shit no I didn’t think to tell them”. Said my dad reaching for his pocket to get his phone. Dr Woods wolf startled us all by growling at my father. “Don’t you dare” he ground out between gritted teeth.My dad and I were both shocked at a wolf speaking to his Alpha this way. Dr Woods looked like he was back in control but didn’t seem that apologetic. “Come with me Alpha and you’ll understand” he said walking ahead of us. I was gone b
