NOVAI recognized one of those witches who came—Maren, the Supreme witch's most trusted subordinate. She was once accused of using dark magic, but Cybele, the Supreme, used her power to make the whole case magically disappear. Maren was considered a beauty. She had long raven hair and mysterious onyx eyes with a ruby ring glowing on the inner side of her pupils. Her looks were astonishingly underlined by her Snow-White-like complexion. If that wasn't enough, Mother Nature was also generous to her in the sexy curve department, making her a perfect men's temptress. In the coven, she was responsible for signing contracts with wealthy men, using every possible female-like and magical trick in the boom.No surprise, the two wolves on the podium received over ninety percent of her attention. Normally, I would roll my eyes and ignore whatever she was doing, but now, her eyes were on Felix, and that made me want to lurch at her and dig her eyes out!Alpha Tyrion gave Maren an emotionless glan
NOVAI might have enjoyed Maren's dumb, open-mouth expression if I wasn't just as shocked as her. No, actually, the word "shock" couldn't describe what I felt at that moment. I sat in the van, bemused, observing what was happening outside as if it was some damn movie. I guess that my mind was too overwhelmed by Felix's bold statement to acknowledge that I was, sort of, the center of this mess...The witches that sat behind me cringed in their seats, weeping in terror and mumbling that the wolves outside were going to kill them. Well, I couldn't blame them for being afraid. The two guards that were supposed to protect them lay knocked out on the ground, and their leader was in the hands of a seriously pissed Beta.Maren fisted her hands, and even from a distance, I could see her mouthing a curse or two. I wondered why. The coven should value that amount of gold much more than a simple healing witch like me, but Maren seemed to be more than annoyed with such an outcome. Unluckily for he
NOVAWe celebrated our reunion until dawn and then continued it after breakfast… and lunch… and a little bit afterward. I wasn't sure how I managed to survive the surge of Felix's passion. I sank deep and happily embraced the sweet pain of overstretched muscles that came the day after.Once we got back to Grand Lunaville, Felix and I were back in the one-of-a-kind friend zone… Our unique friendship had simple rules this time: it required a lot of time spent in bed together without mentioning that we were in any form of a relationship. Yes, we were probably the most screwed-up couple in the entire universe.Even though Felix claimed that he didn't want the insane amount of money he paid for my freedom back, I still decided to do whatever I could to earn it and give it to him. Fortunately, my magical business grew, and I could stay true to my promise.As soon as I performed the ritual using the Supreme witch's blood, I broke the final chain that tied me to the coven. I was now free to e
NOVAIt had been five days, six hours, and twenty minutes since Felix fell into a coma. My life had shrunk to the hospital room where he was lying. I couldn't heal him. The thing that hurt him was much more powerful than my magic. I could only stare at his motionless body, waiting for the moment he opened his eyes."Please, bring him back to me," I mumbled, praying to Hecate, the Moon Goddess, and every celestial creature that was willing to hear me. "Please don't take him away from me…"The fact that he stayed in the hospital didn't mean much, since none of the doctors could help him. According to human and werewolf medicine, there was nothing wrong with him, but that statement was far from the truth. His condition had been caused by dark magic, and I could only hope that his body was strong enough to fight it…I think that I was able to survive it all only because of Aria. She kept me company and told me not to lose hope. She was coming to the hospital every day, helping patients wh
NOVAWas I seeing things? That couldn't be right, could it? Felix was a Beta wolf; he inherited his rank features from his mother. The fact was that I knew nothing about his father's identity, and neither did Felix, but his wolf's eyes had always been gold, Beta-gold.I couldn't sleep, hoping that the change in his eyes was merely my ecstasy-painted hallucination, but the more paranoid side of me raised a red flag. What if it was one of the side effects of consuming dark magic? What if it was just the beginning of those side effects manifesting?As soon as we woke up the next morning, Felix changed his mind about taking another day off. "I'm sorry, love," he said, kissing my forehead. "Tyrion needs my help. The annual meeting is coming, and there's tons of work to do."I smiled wryly and nodded in acknowledgment, even if I wasn't fond of the idea of him leaving me. Nonetheless, I was now Beta's girlfriend, and I had to accept that my man had a lot of responsibilities to handle. Beside
NOVA Two months later A lot had happened during the last few weeks. Some of our friends died, and we all faced danger multiple times. But the sun shone through more than once as well. Aria and Alpha Tyrion turned out to be mates, and now, Aria would finally become the pack's Luna and Queen. I couldn't be happier for them, but I was happy for Felix and me as well… I had never seen red in Felix's pupils again, and despite him growing more muscles—which I didn't mind at all—it didn't seem like the magical energy he consumed caused him any harm. Our relationship grew stronger every day, and despite the surrounding darkness, I was slowly learning how it felt to be loved. We had yet to confess to each other, but those three magical words hung in the air whenever we were close. I guess we were both waiting for more peaceful times to say it out loud. After several horrifying attacks planned by the dark witch, we were all waiting for her next move, but the pack's plan of events remained unc
NOVA"We need to get out of bed already." My voice couldn't be any less convincing."Do we?" Felix chuckled, pulled me closer, and purred in my ear, "I'm not going anywhere, and I won't let you leave either. I will never let you go."I looked deep into the irresistible blue of his eyes, and a wave of shivers flooded me down to my lady parts. His body heat melted my reasoning. My naked skin brushed against his perfectly-defined, rigid muscles, and a pleading whimper broke through my throat. His lips curled up in a sexy smirk. Then his hand slid to the back of my head, fisting my hair and bringing me closer to him."Why don't we stay in bed all day today?" he whispered, in between nibbling on my bottom lip. He didn't wait for my response. His tongue entered my parted lips with lush licks that lit all my senses. At the same time, his hands slid down my back, finding my buttocks. One of my hands tangled in the silk of his blond hair while the other worshiped every chiseled bulging of his
NOVAI had just driven past the borders of the Moon Blade Pack. Yes, I was driving. Somewhere in the middle of my mission to wipe Felix off my mind, I decided to become a decent driver. I became the owner of a cute silver Beetle, and this sweetie turned out to be kind enough to take me wherever I wanted.I was getting closer to Grand Lunaville, and my head started to spin. I pulled over and stopped, struggling to catch my breath. An unknown force pressured my chest, and I could swear I felt Felix's rosemary and lime scent wrapping around me."That's impossible, and you know that, Nova," I told myself. "Don't let your anxiety stop you from doing what you have to do."I stretched out my ribcage, fighting the inner squeeze until I could breathe again. My blood was still madly rushing through my veins, but I managed to chase away the sudden panic. I started the engine and drove forward.Grand Lunaville didn't look any different from what I remembered. It felt as if nothing had changed. Pe
