Hey friends! I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful season change! I know that things have been chaotic for everyone recently, myself included, but I wanted to drop by and let you know that I haven't forgotten about this story. I've taken the month to adapt to my new job and my new schedule, but I intend to resume this story next month. The plan is to produce a chapter a day and hopefully have the story finished by the end of November. I hope to be able to finish two of my books by the end of the year. So, I know it's been a little while, but I appreciate you guys hanging in there with me while I made these necessary life changes for myself. Afterall, this is the season of change! Wishing you all well & excited to get back to our stories đ¤đđŚ
Novalie POV I was surprised at Alana's nonchalant demeanor towards the ever developing relationship between Xavier and I. She still spent Spring break hanging out with us, but now that she knew, we were able to openly flirt and cuddle while she was around. We hadn't kissed since that first night, and though I wanted to kiss him terribly, I didn't want to push his boundaries of whatever was going on between us. Besides, I had a boyfriend, if you could call him that with him being on the other side of the Atlantic. Xavier had his own thoughts on Charles, and though he didn't openly communicate them, he made sure to tell me how Alpha guys would be looking to secure me, the only daughter of one of the most influential Alphas in the world, with one of the largest packs, as their Luna for the alliance that mating with me would provide them with. What I wasn't prepared for was the sad smile he gave me when I told him that I had no intention on being anyone's Luna, that I had goals and plan
Xavier POV The days seemed to fly by as I found myself dreading each day that brought us closer to returning to school. The only thing that gave me comfort in knowing we would be returning to school soon was Nova's new found popularity. It seemed like all the ranked girls wanted to be her friend now that she was not only an Alpha female, but an incredibly powerful one at that. Ofcourse all the Alpha guys that she had used her aura on had started gossiping about it and word had quickly spread about how her aura was more powerful than most Alpha males. The only ranked girls who weren't lined up to kiss her ass these days were Lauren & Jocelyn, but that's probably because they knew she would never even consider being friends with the likes of them. But, the only ranked girls she bothered to speak to or be friendly with were Heather, Abby, and the Beta girl from her old pack. The rest of them she blatantly ignored, just as they had all done the many times she had been harassed and bulli
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
