Novalie POV I woke up the next morning to Xavier's muscular arms tightening around me, pulling me closer as his chest vibrated with Lunar's deep purring. In his sleeping state, he dipped his head into the crease of my neck and took a deep inhale before kissing my collar bone, where my mate's mark would lay one day, ever so softly. I couldn't help the sigh that I released as his lips grazed over my most tender area, wanting, no, needing to feel them pressed against my own once more. Apparently he felt the same way as he lifted his head, his bright sparkling green eyes looking down at me just before he pressed his lips to mine. We really were playing with fire, but if it meant I could feel his lips against mine, I didn't fear the burn. Today we would go shopping for his tuxes and my dresses with his mom, who was more excited than both of us combined to be doing so. Xavier had told me all about how his mother had always wanted a daughter to do these types of things with, and how it was
Novalie POV My entire life, I had always been taught one thing, to excel in the kitchen. As a female Omega in the Midnight Moon pack, there were very few career paths open to me, none of which would be my choice to make. The Alpha decided where we ended up when we came of age. There were only three positions he put us female Omegas in, which meant I could end up as a packhouse maid, working in the kitchens of the packhouse or in the brothel. That's why I had been taught to excel in the kitchens. Usually the older Omega females, or the ones who weren't particularly nice to look at ended up as maids, the rest were turned into working girls in the ever growing, ever popular sex industry, because there were very few that the Alpha trusted to cook him fabulous meals. Luckily, I had been raised by my Aunt Marianne, who was the head chef in the packhouse kitchen. Her position allowed me to grow up in the kitchen of the packhouse, where I learned to perfect my craft. My mother had been pla
Novalie POV As the days passed by and I began preparing to go away to school, I found it crazy to think that one day that would be my own little suite, and Aunt Marianne would finally have the bedroom to herself. I couldn't help but to wonder if she would be lonely while I was away. Before I knew it, it was Thursday evening and we had just finished up showering after cleaning the kitchen after dinner. Aunt Marianne and I went back to our room and as she was making sure I had everything I would need packed up, Alpha mindlinked me to come to his office. I told her I would be back and hurried up the two floors to his office. I knocked my usual knock, and to my surprise Luna Natalia opened the door and asked me to come inside. She quickly closed it and made her way back around Alpha Eduardo's desk to stand behind him as he spoke to me. "Are you all packed up and ready to go in the morning?" He asked me as he relaxed back into his leather office chair. "Yes Alpha, Aunt Marianne was
Novalie POV We said our goodbyes and packed into the car to go to the airport where the Alpha family's private jet was waiting to take us to the Mountainous Northwest. The academy was located in the mountains of Idaho, so it was almost a 6-hour flight. I sat in the very back of the SUV, quietly staring out the window. When Juanita told me that she thought it was cool that I was going to be the Head Omega, I just gave her polite smile and a quiet thank you before turning my gaze back to the window. I didn't miss the questioning look she gave Eddie, though, or the look he gave her before turning around to look at me. He was sitting directly in front of me, so he turned towards the window to look behind him. When I caught his gaze, he just gave me a sad smile with a slight nod before turning back around. The look on his face said that this was hurting him too, but I wouldn't let his feelings cloud my judgement, never again. When we made it to the strip we got out of the car and boarded
Novalie POV We pulled through the gates of the Academy and drove down a long drive before we finally came to a stop infront of a large building. This place was like a small town with teenagers walking around everywhere. When we got out of the car Eddie walked up to me stone faced and told me to walk through the doors into the building behind me to get my room assignment and class schedule. I gave him a grateful smile and told him thank you Alpha before grabbing my two duffel bags and heading into the building. His stone faced expression faltered a little when I called him Alpha, and I knew the words had pierced his heart. I hadn't ever called him Alpha until that very moment. He was always just Eddie to me, my friend, the boy I loved. But he wasn't anymore, he couldn't be. So I sucked in a deep breath as I recognized his pain and just turned around to get on with moving on. Getting my room assignment and class schedule had been simple enough, and luckily I had been given a map so f
Novalie POV The next week passed in a blur as I adjusted to my new surroundings and the demands of life at the academy. The classes were actually the easiest part of my day. It was the in-between part that was the hardest. Everyone here seemed to be fascinated by the fact that I was a Midnight Moon Omega female and attending the academy. A group of Gamma boys had taken to calling me the Midnight Moon Madam, while the other ranked kids called me much, much worse. I could see the sympathy in the other Omegas eyes when I passed them, but I just smiled at them to let them know it was OK. I was easily able to ignore them, I'd been ignoring bullies my whole life. The only thing that kept me sane while being stuck on campus was the sprawling library that it boasted. I spent most of my free time in there reading. I had been in there reading one friday evening when the librarian walked over and told me that the library was closing, but I could check out the book I was reading and continue t
Xavier POV It was Friday night and I was hanging out with Lauren in the main Alpha lounge. Each floor had its own lounge area, but the main floor had a couple lounges, a game room, a home theater, and a kitchen. Not that any of us Alphas cooked, but it was there if we wanted to try, or if any of the girls who were taking one of the elective cooking classes had a cooking project. I was in the main lounge with Lauren who had been increasingly getting on my nerves this year. She's had her sights set on being my girlfriend since freshman year, and last year I finally gave her the chance. Things were good last year, we had a lot of fun together. Then summer break came. I don't know if the summer changed us or what, but now I found myself annoyed just being in her presence. My wolf, Lunar, had usually just retreated into the back of my mind whenever she was around, always mumbling about her not being our mate. He said her wolf Lena was just as annoying as she was, so he always disappeare
Novalie A couple more weeks went by after the incident with the Gamma, and though Xavier smiled at me every time we passed eachother, he hadn't tried to talk to me again, which I was incredibly thankful for. That is at least, until he did approach me, in front of almost the whole campus one day as I was eating lunch with Katie. It was a Thursday, since Katie and I only had the same lunch hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Katie instinctively lowered her head in submission, so I did the same. Although I didn't fear Xavier would see it as disrespectful the way all the other Alphas would. "That's not necessary ladies, come on, don't please." He chuckled, making his sea green eyes sparkle. "I only came over here to see if you had finished that book you borrowed from the library?" He asked through his gorgeous panty dropping smile. Eddie was sitting at his regular table not too far from us, so I knew he was listening in, and I immediately started to panic. Xavier must've heard my hear
