Novalie POV The week passed by especially quickly now that I had music to listen to all the time. I was sure to put my headphones in before I even walked out of each classroom so that the ranked wolves wouldn't even try to bother me. If they were still hurling their childish insults at me, it didn't matter because I couldn't hear them. I was surprised when Eddie came by my dorm the Saturday after Xavier gave me the ipod and handed me the charger telling me that Xavier had forgotten to give it to me. He told me that he and Xavier had talked the night he left my room, and then had spent the morning bonding over the basket of pastries I had sent him. He told me that he didn't mind if I was friends with Xavier, so we had actually spent some time hanging out in the library talking away from everyone else. He also told me how much he missed my baking, and told me I should bake a bunch of sweet treat for parents weekend. So that's what I was currently doing at 4am on a Friday morning. Kat
Novalie POV Luckily shortly after they left we were allotted time to take our parents to meet and talk with our teachers, so I happily pulled Aunt Marianne away from the crowd so she could meet my teachers. All of my teachers had wonderful things to say about how great of a student I was and my impeccable grades, then before we went to meet back up with our pack members I took Aunt Marianne to the library where I spent most of my time. I told her about how Xavier and I both preferred spending our time in the library because no one bothered us when we were there and she started asking about him. I told her how he had been kind to me since the first day and how he had protected me and defended me both times I'd been assaulted. The look on her face when I told her I'd almost been raped about broke me, but we hugged it out outside of the library before going to meet the rest of the pack for dinner. We were walking along the wide walkway in the courtyard towards the table where Eddie an
Xavier POV I was sitting with my parents, my aunt and uncle, and my cousins eating dinner when the air turned to electricity from the adrenaline of all the wolves around. Something had caught their attention and made them get worked up so I stood up and looked around to see what it was. That's when I saw Jocelyn with her hands in Nova's hair, getting ready to slap her again. Without a word I rushed forward to stop Jocelyn from hurting Nova, hearing my chair hit the ground from how quickly I had moved. As I rushed forward though, I was shocked to see Nova fighting back, and winning. I chuckled when she throat punched her, understanding that the throat punch was obviously her go to. She tried to stop the fight then and there by pushing Jocelyn away from her, but that girl wouldn't stand down, so she went back at Nova, who made quick work of putting her down with a kick to the knee before smacking her face off of her own knee as she went down. The loud crack rang through the courtyard an
Xavier POV Two months had passed since parent's weekend, though I spent most of it in the infirmary with Nova. She had to have surgery on her hand that Friday night, then spent the rest of the weekend resting from it. I only left her side to sleep, and her Aunt Marianne didn't leave her at all. Her Alpha, Luna, Beta along with Eddie and his Beta twins all came to visit her multiple times that weekend too, as did her roommate Katie and her parents. Even my parents spent alot of time in her room at the infirmary getting to know her and bringing her flowers and gifts. It was really nice of them. Her recovery only took about 2 weeks, and Lunar and I have been making sure she does the exercises that the doctor said she would need to do to get her hand back to normal range of motion too. So, everything was getting back to normal by the time Thanksgiving break rolled around. Some of the ranked kids were still mean to her, but most of them started leaving her alone after what she did to Jo
***TRIGGER WARNING******RAPE*** Novalie POV The flight back to Midnight Moon seemed alot shorter than the flight to school now that the four of us were talking and getting along again. I had become accustomed to Eddie's relationship with Abby and I was happy that he was happy with her. We landed to find Beta waiting for us to take us home. We laughed and joked the whole car ride there, excited to be home for the holiday. I had missed Aunt Marianne's cooking so much, and was excited that she would soon be cooking us a large Thanksgiving feast. When we got to the packhouse we all jumped out of the car, and I grabbed my bags from the back before hauling them down to my little basement room. Aunt Marianne was still in the kitchen cleaning up after dinner, so after I sat my stuff down I went to see if I could help her. "Hey lovey, welcome home! I missed you! How's the hand?" She gripped me in a tight hug as she spoke. "It's good! I'm good. I missed you too. I missed your cooking m
Xavier POV As we pulled up to the Midnight Moon packhouse and got out of the car, Lunar was instantly on alert telling me that something wasn't right. I relayed the message to my parents and our Gamma, Peter who had been waiting at the jet for us. I watched as all their eyes glowed momentarily before subsiding, telling me that their wolves were alert and just below the surface. When we walked into the packhouse the air was electric and full of anger. Not just any anger, no there was pure Alpha rage radiating through the house, and not an Omega, or any other wolf in sight which was strange considering that it was only 9pm on a Friday night. Alpha Eduardo came out of a hallway to greet us, with his Luna following close behind. "Alpha Henry, Luna Anne, Xavier, to what do we owe the pleasure of this surprise visit?" Alpha Eduardo asked cheerily, but his spiked heart rate told me that he was internally panicking at our surprise arrival. Before Henry could explain the reason for our vis
Novalie POV I woke up startled and afraid for what the guards had in store for me, so I kept my eyes closed and pretended to be asleep for a while as I listened to what was happening around me. The first thing I noticed was the smell, and I knew I wasn't in the dungeons anymore. I guess they had beat me so bad that I needed to come to the pack hospital to be taken care of as I recognized the beeping of the machines and the smell of different cleaners. I had to calm my heart rate as the door to my room creaked open and heavy footsteps shuffled in. Then I was hit with the scent of Sandalwood and Cedar with just a hint of peppermint and my body and mind instantly calmed, allowing me to crack open my swollen eyes. "Nova, you're awake finally. Don't try to talk or move. Your jaw has been wired shut to heal, and you have quite a few fractured ribs. But you're safe now, and you're going to be OK." Xavier bent down to my eye level as he spoke softly to me, gently brushing my hair out of my
Xavier POV It was a few days after Nova's freak out when the doctors finally said we could take her to her room in the packhouse. She had had to be sedated that day, and ever since she'd just been quiet and uninterested no matter how much I tried to engage her. I could tell she liked watching the snow fall outside though so I sat there quietly in her room, regardless of whether she wanted me to or not. The doctors had said that being here where she belonged was helping her heal quicker, and that they weren't sure but they thought being near Lunar helped too, so I was there, in her room, everyday. All of her other fractures had healed, and they had taken another x-ray before we left this evening to check the status of her jaw. She had healed significantly over the past two weeks. Her swelling and bruising was gone, all her fractures except her jaw had healed, and if it wasn't completely healed already, her jaw wouldn't be far behind. I was excited for her to see her room on the Alpha
