34. The Meeting

This chapter has been re-edited because i was in such a hurry to post on time.

Authors Note at the End!

Nova

I was feeling antsy..

Actually antsy was an understatement...

Ive been in this hospital bed since last night.. my wounds were already healed but the poison hadn't filtered itself out of my system completely. I can at least sense my wolf now.. but she is weak..

But at least i could feel her presence inside me.

Staring out at the darkened sky, i watched rain cloud move swiftly above, blocking the burning sun from its rays touching everything around..

a storm was coming soon.

I let my mind drift .. recalling the events of last night, how terrified i felt being so helpless. It's a feeling i never want to experience again..  having no control... feeling human.

Tears pricked in my eyes but i sniffed them away, not wanting to feel this right now. I can't deal with these emotions.. its as if my mind won't let me. I keep shutting down.. not caring about anything other than the truth. Not feeling.

I just cant believe Deacon did this to me..

I can't believe he almost..

"Nova?" A feminine voice croaked, coming from behind the curtain that divided me from Eden who had yet to wake up from her poison induced sleep.

Until now.

Throwing my thoughts to the back of my mind, i scampered out of bed, yanking the curtain back as my heart fluttered wildly, seeing Eden's bright green eyes smile up at me. I let out a sigh of relief as i checked every inch of her exposed skin.. noting the life that blossomed back in her eyes.

"Eden!! You're finally awake! Oh goddess you had me scared to death!" My pulse beat wildly, throwing myself on top of her as my arms went around her neck. She groaned slightly, shifting to the side to give me more room. I had to remember that she had been in a coma like sleep for a few days.

Breaking away, i wiped the tears that had collected in my eyes from relief, spilling forth. "Im so glad you are okay.. that poison was meant for me.. not you. Somehow Anita got into the herbal tea you got for me." I sniffled, Edens green orbs going wide as if she realised something.

"Nova... it.. it wasn't Anita..." her voice was still hoarse from not using it for a few days.

I frowned at her words. "What do you mean it wasn't Anita? She's the one with the herbs."

Eden sighed, rubbing her temples. "It was Deacon. If it was in those tea bags.. it was Deacon. He had given them to me to give to you..." she trailed off. "He said that the healer made them...I figured he meant Daisy... but.. but what if he didnt know? Anita had to have made them.. but how would Deacon not suspect her if she had asked him to give them to me to give to you? I mean.. i know embarassment would have made him give them to me instead of going straight to you since it was for your heat... but how would he just not know? Anita hates you!" She exclaimed, eyes wondering around the room as she tried to put the pieces together.

I pursed my lips, knowing part of the answer to her questions, i think at least. "Deacon has been acting.. not himself lately Eden.. " i admitted softly, not meeting her gaze. "He attacked me last night and the night before.. but last night... he.. he poisoned my wolf so i couldn't reach her.. he almost marked and mated me .. if Zaryn and Nic hadn't shown up when they did.." i swallowed the sourness in my throat, letting the tears sting my eyes but never fall.

It broke my heart that my best friend had done that to me.. i glanced down at the blue hospital gown that covered my form, remembering how Deacon shred my clothes from my body. I shivered in disgust and i could almost feel his hot breath on my neck again.

I just wanted to shower and scrub my skin clean of all his lingering scents.. of him.. of my own blood.. of the dirt and grime..

My voice wavered "It wouldn't make since if he knew she had made it. He knows how she feels about me.... he didn't want to kill me. He wanted to make me his. Not take me out of the equasion..." i mused aloud.

It just didn't make sense. Unless Deacon has been under her spell- not knowing the things he was doing.... it would explain a lot of things..

I sat up right on Eden's bed, my legs dangling off the side, as a thought came to me. "Eden... are there herbs that could.. alter someones train of thought? Making them as if they were a walking zombie just carrying out wishes from the person who knows what they're doing?" My head tilted to the side as I trained my eyes on hers in thought.

Eden pursed her lips as she tapped her chin,. "Actually.." her voice still hoarse as she spoke slowly, "there is a poisonous plant called the Red Lockheed also known as Dead man walking... it has some of those affects you described but.. the agression Deacon seemed to have posessed wouldn't be caused from that." Her lips turned up in a tight smile as she reached for her icewater.

I was used to not having all the answers... but now.. all i wanted to do was uncover every dark dirty secret and expose the ones who have turned against me and the ones i loved. Even if it was someone i cared for. Like my mom.

Eden sat up quickly, her eyes growing dark, staring off into the distance , as her hand clutched my arm fiercely. Wincing as her nails dug in my flesh, I  hissed in pain but she made no movement to let go.. almost like she was possesed.

she was revieving messages from the moon.

Her grip loosened as her eyes faded back to their natural bright green.. searching for me.

"Go. Anita is going to try to run today.. after a meeting with Alpha Blake. Stop her." She urged, shoving me off the bed. My lips parted in surprise.. feeling adrenaline begin to force itsway through me.

She didn't have to tell me twice!

Stumbling out of the bed without another word, I hobbled out of the room, my bare feet hitting the cool tiled floor as I worked my legs.. a day of laying in bed all day had my limbs feeling like jello.

I picked up the pace once i began to feel my blood pumping through my barely used legs.. down the hall and into the lobby. I noticed Gerald and Benny, Alpha Blake's Gamma's sitting around reading but paid them no mind as i scurried to the front door of the clinic, hoping I wasn't too late.

Before i could reach the door, both men appeared in front of me with a quickness I didn't even sense, my six senses dumbed down to a human level as my wolf slept off the cocktail.

I frowed at them, tilting my head to the side in question as they blocked my exit.

Benny smiled apologetically. He was friends with my dad as well as was Gerald. The same age too.. They knew what i had gone through these past months which made me curious as to why these two were standing here preventing me from leaving.

"Nova we have been under direct orders not to let you leave until the Doc clears you. Alpha Blake's orders." Benny winced slightly, his large hands being stuffed into large pockets. Benny was the size of a linebacker.

My frown deepened as i placed my hands on my hips, feeling pissed. "Alpha Blake would want to know if I was feeling fine. Which i am." I responded to the men with attitude.

Gerald shrugged. "Sorry Nova. He wants you here."

I narrowed my eyes at the both of them as I stepped backwards.. something was happening at the pack house and Alpha was afraid i would ruin it...

i nodded, faking a smile.  "Okay then.. I'll just wait for the Doc." Turning on my heel, i walked back to the room slowly.  Once inside, I broke out in a frenzy and flew past Eden who watched on with amusement.

Quietly unlatching the window and throwing it open, I swung my leg out of the window, tucking the other one up and jumping out with ease from the single level building.

"Nova what on earth are you doing!?" Eden whisper yelled.

I popped my head back up, smirking at her from outside where the clouds were rolling in, deep dark and angry. "Escaping. Alpha has guard detail on me. That only means one thing! Theres something going on and he doesn't want me around." I winked at her, her musical laugh cutting through the air.

Not saying another word, I took off, running away through the woods behind Doc's  in my hospital gown as I could still hear Eden's laughter but faintly.

I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, wanting to know what was happening at the pack house that was so important. It had to be big for Blake to go to this length to keep me away..

Before i knew it, i had entered a territory all too familiar to me, not knowing or rather, not remembering where I had been last night..

The place i was almost forcibly mated by Deacon.

My body came to a hault as I stared down to the ground. My eyes fixed next to where I stood.... my clothes lying in shreds.. bloodied on the ground. My blood.

Bile rose in my throat as i recalled the memories again... feeling helpless in my tormentors grasp.. his claws digging into my hips.. hands roaming over my scantily clad form..

Why deacon??.

"There's no time for this Nova.. push it down. Come on wolf.. i need you now. Please come back to me. Wake up." I whispered to myself, forcing my mind to shut off. I wanted to continue feeling this numb feeling until all.of this was over. I was going to ride this emotional block until it came crashing down around me and swallowed me up. Numbness was my only hope.

Breathing deep, I forced my body to move... forced my legs to work as i took off again and ran. Ran like my life depended on it, barefoot and all.

Running the entire way, I never once stopped as i barged through my front door, flying up the stairs, coming in like a wrecking ball. Out of breath with no time to spare, remembering Eden's warning, I stripped off the gown along with my dirty undergarments and put on a new set.

There was no time to shower but I didn't want to be smelled.

Grabbing the first thing I saw on my bed, I pulled on a pair of jeans and a fitted black tshirt Eden had left that read "bad ass" in bold white letters.

I rolled my eyes at the wording but it was too late to find another shirt because it was laundry day. Stuffing my feet into socks and a pair of black Nikes, i tied my hair up on top of my head before running back down the stairs and out the door..

who needs deodorant and a toothbrush when theres something big going on that the pack Alpha doesnt want you to be apart of?

Sprinting as fast as i could, the cool breeze picking up as it whipped through my hair, i swear i could be an olympic runner with the way i was gettin it right now. The pack house came into view and I squinted my eyes once I noticed a Black Yukon Denali sitting in the front drive.

Were we expecting company? It was an unfamiliar vehicle and no one had told me of any expected visitors...

Wasting no time, I burst through the front door of the pack house at lightning speed, coming to a hault as I saw my peers all look at me with wide eyes, necks slightly angled as i glanced around to all of the wolves close to my age. Their show of submission had me puffing up with pride.. if only my wolf were awake to see this.

But there was no time to gloat..

"Whats going on here?" I was breathless as my voice rasped aloud to the watching wolves, hands going to my knees to take in long ragged breaths.

Jaz came towards me slowly, eyes large with concern. "Alpha Conrad is here.. there's a meeting upstairs in the Alpha's office." She spoke slowly as if she wasn't sure she should tell me.

Alpha Blake you little..

I forgot completely about Alpha Conrad coming.. i had been through so much in such a short amount of time.

"Thanks!" I kissed her cheek leaving her stunned as i raced up the stairs two at a time until I reached the top, bursting through the office door.. all eyes on me as i entered, huffing as I leaned into the wall in attempt to catch my breath. low growls coming from Alphas at a possible threat.

"Nova! I thought i told them to make sure you didnt leave the hospital!?!?" Alpha Blake rose out of his seat, a scowl on his already perturbed features. I arched a brow, my jaw clenched as I regarded him with distaste.

Cheating alpha...

"Yeah and miss this? Nah. Shoulda remembered we have windows Alpha.. much easier to sneak out of than blacking out Gerald and Benny which i almost thought of doing but i remembered my wold was taking a nap.. shame on you for putting them in danger." I winked, grinning at him without teeth.

His blue eyes narrowed slightly at my disrespect but he sat slowly back down in his chair.

I noticed Mom and Dad sitting in the corner..my mom's eyes wide in uncertainty , her hand gripping my dads. I paused a beat as i watched her.. she should be panicking.

Nic and Zaryn sat side by side.. both eyes on me in.. guilt? Luna Penelope stood stoic beside an aggravated Alpha Blake.. like always, her expression stayed the same during business.

then there was Grace who seemed nervous once her eyes found mine, as she should be. I couldn't help the satisfying smirk on my lips as i watched her. She turned away from me and huddled into her chair closer to her aunt who sat next to her in a protective manner.

Anita.. her coal dark eyes glaring at me with hatred. I gave her a wink, grinning ear to ear and did show my teeth this time..

"Well. Healer, Ya tried to kill me. Twice. Unfortunately for you im a," and i pointed to my shirt. If looks could kill right now..

"And who is this spit fire?" A deep voice sounded from the other side of the room. I turned, glancing at the end of the other side of the long table to see a dark haired blue eyed man.. a large man.. wolf.. Alpha.. he was handsome..in that fatherly way. Rugged.

His amused expression never wavering as his eyes scanned my shirt with a smirk before moving up to inspect me further. The man standing nervously behind him looked just like Grace, their eyes identical.. Must be her uncle .. the Beta.

Lifting my head higher, I felt a surge of pride as i spoke. "I'm Nova. Zaryn's mate." Raising a brow at him as a smile played on my lips, daring him to say something about it as I leaned casually against the door frame.

Alpha Conrad scrutinized Anita who seemed to fold into herself with anger.. "And what's this about you trying to kill the girl?" He used his alpha tone on Anita.

So... he didn't know? I was sure Grace had ran and told him everything.. isn't he behind all of this?

"She's the one who broke my arm daddy." Grace peered up at him with innocent eyes, protecting her aunt by throwing Alpha Conrad off.

Okay... i see you Grace. 👀👁

A snarl erupted from my throat as I stepped forward agressively. "Oh you little.. you baited my wolf! Three times! You're lucky you're not dead!"

Alpha Conrad stood, eyeing me with outrage.  "This is how my daughter is treated as a guest!? And what was this female's  punishment for breaking a pregnant pack members arm, Blake?"

Alpha Blake sighed, rubbing his temples as my family watched with blank faces. "This is why i didn't want you here Nova..."

I gaped at him, eyes assesing him.

"She has a right to be here." My dad's spoke up. I couldn't help the proud smile on my lips.. happy for him having my back on this.. this entire situation involved me as well. I was the only female even taking a stand while Penelope and mom stood idly aside. Weak. No standing up for their pups..

I felt the pleasureable pulsing of Zaryn's eyes on me before I turned my glare to this Conrad guy. "Technically... your daughter, if she even is your daughter... is a refugee.. you didn't want her there, so ya forced her to come here. Seeking housing and food. Doesn't give her pack rights."

I grabbed the wolf law book from the bookshelf, flipping it to the page i memorized for this occasion, sliding it toward him. "Section three. And she isnt pack. Shes your pack. She accosted my wolf by throwing my discarded underwear on a breakfast table in order to try to get me in "trouble" and proceeded to yell at me and bait me knowing she cant shift right now and also knowing that my wolf has tried to attack her twice before..that is just fucking crazy and that was when my wolf snapped on her .. my sweet wolf has had an awful insatiable blood lust since Gracie here has been around." I kept my expression blank but felt all eyes on me in shock and disbelief.

Conrad peered down at the book, his eyes going hard as they scanned the page, the vein in his neck bulging in fury. He closed the book with a slam before those cobalt blue orbs snapped up to meet mine.. darkness taking them over as his wolf came out to greet me. Low warning growls from my dad, Nic and Zaryn vibrating the walls, Conrad's beta stepping forward, watching.

There would be no fighting today.

Conrad sat slowly to match the rest  "What do you mean if she is my daughter? And Why has no one told me of this!? Grace?? Why didn't you tell me." He was angry.. his voice hard as well as his glare as those angry eyes turned on Grace who shook a little in her seat as she rubbed her belly, trying to soothe herself, as she had no male.

Grace began sniffling, her eyes watering as she whimpered. "I-i didnt want to cause any trouble daddy." She looked down in her lap. "Zaryn and Nova have completed half the bond.. i just want to make it out of here with my pup and my dignity.. but everytime.. i can feel the bond increasing .. it hurts.. I.. I dont want to do this anymore." she cried out, tears leaking down her pale face.

So she felt my mark upon him?

She really needed this pup.. she needed Zaryn. But it seemed as if she were breaking now.

I was wrong about her dad.. i figured he had been behind this but if he had no clue.... that makes this all the more sweeter. Its funny how no one tried to reel me in from this...

Anger surged through the room.. thick like a blanket. From all sides involved. There was an underlying scent of fear as well.. i know which ones were feeling that fear.

"Blake!" Conrad growled, his fists clenched so tight i thought they might break. "I thought we resolved this matter over the phone.. you were to keep Zaryn separated from this juvenile until we found out if Grace would have the pup or not! I will not tolerate my daughter being played.. him marking his mate behind Grace's back while she's carrying his pup... that will kill the pup! Then my daughter is left without honor. No alpha blood will have her and believe me I will take what is owed to me, be land and females for my unmated males!" His searing tone radiated through me and thats the moment i felt everything stop.

A whimper broke from behind my mind..  i could see my wolf yawning, stretching from her long slumber as a smile graced my lips. She was back. I had my strength back. Our strength.

I slid around the room as Zaryn stood, interrupting what Alpha Blake was about to say. Taking a seat by my dad, he took my hand in his, a proud smile on his face. Mom smiled at me too but i ignored her.. unable to cope with her betrayel in my mind. I was on my dad's side right now. He was the one who was betrayed by his own mate and best friend.. Alpha blake had no favor of mine either.. how could he do that to his beta? His best friend?

My attention was back on Zaryn.. he seemed.. bigger in this moment... more powerful.

"Dad i got this. He needs to know." Zaryn's words were bold and defiant.. Alpha Blake growled at the disrespect but let his son continue.

"Alpha Conrad, with all due respect, your daughter trapped me." My eyes widened along with Grace who looked back and forth between Zaryn and Anita

.. Anita scowled at Zaryn but he continued.

"You see.. its our theory that your daughter isn't your own. And that secret would come forth had she waited for her mate who may have or may not have been an alpha. It was awful funny i never sensed her heat until it was too late. And that's where I assumed you came in.. but now.. seeing you here.. im sure it has more to do with Grace." He smirked at Anita who sent him a death glare. Alpha Conrad stayed silent.. angry but silent. "Grace has gone out of her way to belittle and bait Nova's wolf. We are true mates. It was impossible for us to stay away from each other. She knew the consequences.. thought she would be protected but our own pack disagrees with shattering the moon by mating with a female who isn't my own. They began rallying.. ready to challenge me if i picked her. My wolf doesn't want your daughter. He wants his pup though.. but we both know the chances of the pup surviving a mate bond.. even a half mate bond. Since Grace has come... our oracle in training was poisoned.. from a tea that was meant for Nova. We have started an investigation as we believe Grace has involvement in this.. but it seems like we have all been duped. I will do the right thing by my pup if in fact it is born... but i won't be with your daughter. Im sorry but i don't like being played." Zaryn peered into Alpha Conrad's eyes without flinching.. only long enough as to not be considered a threat.

Conrad sat down in his seat with a hard sigh, glaring as he stared at his daughter then Anita. He scanned the rest of us... eyes watching. "I can see that you need reassurance.. so we will do the alpha blood test as soon as we can get a kit ... tomorrow. But when my daughter passes.. i want what is rightfully hers. Alpha Blake... if your son wont be with Grace, then i want land and females. If you refuse... then we can wage war. Your choice. As far as your oracle being poisoned... you have no proof that it was my daughters doing do you?" He rose a brow, serious as could be.

"The investigation is still taking place. But we have evidence that your daughter was working with my other son Deacon. Having him follow Zaryn and Nova to collect evidence which she used to accost Nova's wolf in order to attempt to have her locked in the cellar." Alpha Blake stood, challenging Conrad to say anything that dismissed his daughter from this.

My mouth fell open. How would they have evidence? And why weren't they putting more effort into catching Anita!? This wasnt Grace! This was Anita.. Grace had help through Anita. What were they doing!?  If they have evidence Deacon was helping Grace... then... that means he was the responsible one for all of that crap that happened at breakfast with my underwear .. Deacon said he had watched me with Zaryn and our letters.

Suddenly it all clicked.. the letters..

The letters that never sounded like Zaryn.. the fact Zaryn told me i told him to be with Grace.

It was them.

Hot malice surfaced inside my body, rising from my bones like boiling blood.. i needed to talk to Deacon.. I needed him to answer to me.. to answer my questions no matter how much it bothered me to be close to him..

But why are they not putting more blame on Anita right now?

I wanted to crush Grace in this moment.

"Very well." Conrad smirked deviously. "Until you have proof, neither I nor you can do a thing.. I will stay here until we can do the blood test. Should be able to do this by tomorrow correct? Afterwards, when you see my daughter is who i say she is, then I will take both she and Anita back with me since its obvious her health is in danger here. You will agree to lands and females but if Nova and Zaryn complete the bonding before the pup is born and she loses the pup because of it... then Blake.. there will be war, i can promise you that." Conrade seethed, getting up from the table. "But Grace won't be the only one taking that test. Nic will be taking it as well." He growled before storming out of the room, the door slamming back into the wall with the force of him opening it. His beta seemed torn as he scanned Grace's shaking form before following his alpha

My wolf resurrected, growling once we laid eyes on Grace who seemed all our of sorts. Grace's eyes went large as saucers as they landed on Anita, scowling at her as tears dripped hot down her face. "This is your fault!" She scrambled from the table, following after her dad. "Daddy wait! No! I would never do that!"

Anita moved after her, watching us all as she rose slowly... leaving just us in the room. Once the door clicked closed, all hell broke loose.

I turned to Alpha Blake, my wolf's eyes meeting his. "Alpha! Eden told me Anita is going to try to eacape after the meeting!! Its been her the entire time! What are you doing accusing Grace!?" I whispered across the table as our families looked on.

Alpha Blake smirked, amusement in his blue eyes. "I know Nova. Oracle Claire had the same vision.. she informed me through the mind link before this meeting took place. We are baiting Anita into thinking we believe its all Grace. If she loves Grace like a daughter the way Claire has said... she wont let her take the fall. Detail has been put on Anita to watch her from afar.  We just need our investigstors to find what they need and then we can lock Anita away. This blood test tomorrow will prove Grace isn't of Alpha blood then the storm will begin to unfold before our eyes." He mused.

Wow... so he knew the entire time which was why he never showed much angression toward Conrad..

Peering over at Zaryn and Nic, they both smiled triumphantly. It was good seeing them get along but how long would that last?

If Nic does turn out to be Alphas son... that means that Nic and Zaryn are half brothers... which means im mated to my half brothers half brother.. there's no blood relation at all but its too insane for me to even think about.

Mom and Luna shared a look, one of emptiness and sorrow. Its almost as if they both know..

If Luna had an inkling that Nic was her husbands son... would she allow the blood test to happen? Risking her own son's line of succession?

I have to make sure the test happens. I have to.

But I need to go talk to Deacon.. despite the terror i feel when I think about him.. i need to get his side of the story.

Luna and mom made their way out of the office in a hurry to get out of the testosterone filled atmosphere as I lingered with Alpha, dad, Zaryn and Nic.

"Alpha Blake... I need to talk to Deacon. Its important." My voice low as my eyes darted to the shocked and outraged expressions from the men in the room.

Dad growled. "Absolutely not Nova. Theres things you dont know yet." Rumbles vibrated from his chest.

My brows knitted together in confusion. "I still need to speak to him. There's something i need to know.."

"No!" Zaryn roared, eyes blazing with hatred toward his younger brother.. my once best friend.

Narrowing my gaze at him, i stalked toward him.. feeling the bond writhe and vibrate between us. Pleasureable. "If you think for a moment that just because you decide you want to be my mate suddenly... that I'm just going to concede to you... you are mistaken. You may be bonded to my wolf.. and mine yours.. but you will not tell me what to do."

"What!? Your wolves are fully bonded now!?" My dad bellowed, even angrier than before.

I forgot no one knew about this aside from my brother...

Alpha Blake and my dad stared at the both of us with outrage.. i guess when Grace mentioned the bonding they assumed she meant the one sided bond Zaryn had put on me the night of the barbecue.

Sighing heavily, i rubbed my temples. I didn't feel like explaining this right now. There was too much to worry about.. bigger things than my half of a mate bond. "Yes. It happened the other day. It was accidental."

"Accidental!? Nova this was why we had rules for you and Zaryn to stay apart." Alpha narrowed those blue eyes at me.

"Dad. Back off. It wasn't her fault it was mine." Zaryn explained, turning to me. "You can't see Deacon. He's in the cellar.. he's there for two weeks Nova. I found his journal and thats what i need to talk to you about.." he touched my arm gently as I watched Nic walk out of the room along with Alpha and my dad who seemed torn between staying or going. Finally he chose to leave with a huff, closing the door behind him.

I turned to Zaryn.. ripping my arm away from his touch... the hatred in my eyes for him showing through.

He seemed surprised. "Your wolf is back." A huge grin appeared on his beautiful mouth as he stepped toward me to hug me.

I backed away, my wolf growling low at him, her eyes meeting his. He backed away, confused. "Nova?"

"My wolf isn't happy with you or your wolf at the moment." My tone charged with annoyance. "Im not dealing with you right now." I inched away, heading toward the door.

It was true. My wolf didn't particularly like her mate right now. I didnt feel the full affect of the mate bond yet because our skin side had yet to mark each other and we hadn't had sex. That is the true completion of the mate bond.. and that wouldn't be happening. At all. He may have finally grown some balls and stood up to his dad, announcing his want for me.. his rightful mate.. but it was too little too late because all that ran through my mind was how he left me in the driveway that first night and every awful thing after that.

I wasn't that girl anymore.

The emotions had changed me and my feelings despite the pleasure from the mate bond.

"Nova wait. You need to know what Deacon's journal said! What I found! The letters-" i cut him off as he plead.

"Save it Zaryn! You can beg me later. I have business to take care of!" I left him in the office alone, stunned into silence.

Now i need to figure out a way to make it down to the cellars.. I have to face my tormentor... my old best friend.. i needed to get answers.

And I'll get them one way or another.

Dun dun dun!

What's Nova about to do??

Alot of you are wondering when Nova is going to confront her mom.. it will happen soon. She doesnt anyone to know she knows yet because she doesn't want anyone to stop the alpha test... but she will see something in the next chapter that sets her off involving her mom..

Nova is dealing with all sorts of feelings. Shes still numb but shes angry. Hell is about to break loose on everyone when her feelings hit her hard. Shes suffering from ptsd right now.. she can't feel anything besides what she feels at the moment. She wont let herself linger on any emotional feelings because shes so numb. We will adress that next chap.

Anyways!!! Shatter was #28 on the hotlist yesterday! It goes up with the more reads AND comments I get! The more comments the better.
