NOVA

The trees flew past me in flying colors of reds, oranges, brown, and some green. The sun was beginning to sink beyond the horizon of trees.. the warm orange glow of the sun sending a multitude of colors throughout the sky.

Not bothering with sunglasses, a bright beam of sunshine was blinding the side of my face as i kept my eyes trained out of my window, not wanting Maxim to see my face.

I wasnt crying but i felt like it. The nervous anxious feeling inside had my stomach knotting up.. i didnt know what would be waiting for me on the other side.. who would be upset with me. What i would do if i saw Zaryn...

Then theres the memory of Deacon. Visiting his grave.. i would have to eventually.. i never knew him as a bad wolf.. all the emotions ive bottled up inside about him would surely spill forth once i stepped foot on my pack land.

For the fourth time this year i was moving. Hauling my things from one place to another..

But this time...

I'm coming home.

"You okay over there?" Alpha Maxims deep voice jousted me from my thoughts.

I spared him a glance, turning back to watch the trees pass us by. "Yes. Im fine." My voice was a soft whisper.

A sigh from beside me. "Nova. I hope you understand why im doing this. Its time to face the music. You've avoided it so long.. you've ran away.. wolves have catered to your wishes.. but i wont. Zaryn is someone i consider a friend and with your upcoming heat... you need to be home. I know your entire story.. even things that you dont yet know.  And im telling you that this is the right thing to do. Its been half a year. Youve changed so much from what i hear... how do you know Zaryn hasnt? Youve avoided your family.. your friends.. people who love you.. Nova you need to step up to the plate and take responsibility that maybe running was never the right thing to do." His tone was deep yet soft.

My jaw clenched as anger coursed through me. I whipped my head to face him, glaring with eyes the color of summer grass. "I had to leave!" I shouted. "I would still be a weak wolf if i didnt! Ive come far! Figured out who i am! Ive accomplished things id never have been able to if i had stayed!" My eyes were trained on him, disbelief in my gaze.

Shaking his head with an exasperated sigh, "but did you have to alienate everyone you love to do it? No. You didnt. Your parents have been worried sick because you're too chicken to pick up the damn phone and Eden and your brother have needed you!" He shouted right back..his alpha tone gone. Now we were two wolves having a conversation.

Soffing, i shook my head, folding my arms as i laid back in my seat.. feeling tears prick my eyes as i stared out my window. He was right.

Eden... she had gone through something tough without me. So had Nic. My parents even.. with Blakes betrayel of the whole pack.. how was he even still the Alpha. But im proud of Grace.. for growing.. taking Eden in.. helping her cope. Shes a good wolf now. Eden was still pregnant when she befriended her.. bringing her to their pack.

Thats more female than ive ever witnessed.

And im a chicken.

Glancing down at the braided leather bracelet on my wrist.. i ran my fingers across the silver disc in the center.. Grace had helped me grow in some weird way.. but i wasnt done yet.

"Its okay to be bitter Nova. But now.. its just time to put the past behind you." Maxims voice was gentle.

Sniffling back the tears, i nodded.. not wanting to talk anymore.

The fourty five minute drive seemed to be over in an instant.. and before i knew it, we were pulling into the Crescent Pack's driveway.

The gravel drive was a little over half a mile and my palms were sweating the entire time. My stomach was rolling with anxious nausea.. to the point i wanted to puke.

Maxim glanced down at my shaking hands.. he placed his hand on my arm.. thumb rubbing circles to smooth down my fur. "Calm down. Its going to be fine."

I nodded absentmindedly as we pulled up to that all too familiar pack house... the one i left from six months ago.

Would anyone even recognize me? Ive changed to the point i dont even recognize myself.

Maxim parked, killing the ignition and i took a deep breath.. letting it out shakily as my hand gripped the door handle.

"Youll need to go see the Alpha. He doesn't know your here.. i only told him i was making a visit.. but you'll need to tell him your back for good." I peered up at Maxim, a secret smirk on his lips.

"Okay." I breathed, opening the door before climbing out.. my feet hitting the ground. My wolf was going wild inside.. yipping.. prancing.. something she hadn't done in a long time. She feels something.

I stood motionless as the sun beat down on me from behind.. still in the process of sinking in the sky. The air was cool but it was still slightly warmer than the jacket that i was wearing.  I took my jacket off.. leaving me in a fitted black t shirt and my yoga capris.. tossing the jacket in the seat before shutting the door.

I peered around the lands.. my mother.. running up to me with my dad right behind her as they made their way with smiling faces.. tears in their eyes.

"My pup is home!" Mom launched herself at me.. arms holding me tightly. Dads arms were wrapping around us both and something inside my heart swelled. I swallowed back my emotions.. resting my head on her shoulder as they held me.

"Im sorry mom..dad. im sorry i didnt keep in touch." I whispered.. my arms hugging them just as hard as the sun completely submerged behind the horizon.. the moon peeking out over head. Smiling down on us.

"Nova dont ever do that again." Dad rumbled. "You had us so worried."

As our limbs untangled, i sniffled, my mom wiping a tear from my cheek that i never knew had fallen. Laughing, slightly embarassed, i nodded.. looking dad in the eyes. "I wont dad. Im sorry. I just... i needed to find myself." I brushed a stray hair away from my face and immediately my parents eyes widened.

Dad grabbed my arm, turning it so my inner bicep faced him.. the thick black tattoo of an accomplished warrior staring back at him. His eyes widening out of their sockets as mom gasped, covering her mouth.. both their eyes staring at my symbol.. glancing back up at me in wonder.

"Y-youre a warrior? Of the north and south?" Dad whispered in awe. With a nod, i tried to take my arm away but he held it. A proud gleam in his eyes. "Nova.. only a handful of wolves in north america have this..." a smile on his lips.

I suddenly felt in the spotlight.  I didnt like the attention but my wolf did.

I felt Maxims presence behind me as he walked forward. "She fought hard for that. In six months she was able to get that tattoo. She proved herself in my pack.  She came to me with the beginner symbol and earned every canine on that symbol." He spoke proudly. "Broke every bone in her body doing it, but she did it and asked for more." I could hear the pride in his voice.

My dad let go of my arm. "And you're only almost eighteen. Thats a major accomplishment Nova. Especially for a female. Hell.. even for a male." He grinned, chuckling as he pulled me into his arms once more.

Mom was crying, grinning ear to ear. "My baby girl is a seasoned warrior. I cant believe it."

Maxim chuckled from behind. "Nova. Now is the time for you to show that tattoo off. This pack needs to know who you are now."

Dad released me once again and a breath of laughter escaped as i shook my head. "I dont need to brag."

Maxim came to stand beside me. "Oh yes you do. Here you do." He winked before turning to go back to the truck. My parents were still cooing over me.. brushing my hair back.. pressing their cheeks to mine. I wondered why the land was barren of wolves. Usually this time of day they were scattered... having bonfires. I silently thanked the moon for the privacy.

"Wheres Nic?" My features settled into sadness. I know he is hurting because Zaryn had hurt too when this happened.

Mom and dad exchanged a look before mom spoke. "Hes at the clinic. Hes fine. See him lastly because hes out cold at the moment."

Worrying my lip, i nodded.

The truck door slammed, causing me to spin around wide eyed. I was on high alert. Maxim stood staring at me with that smirk. "Go on Nova. Ill get your things.  Go on and let the Alpha know you're here." He was trying to hold back a grin. He was enjoying this.

Mom and dad shared a smirk of their own before nodding for me to go ahead to the pack house. Time to check myself in.

One more deep breath and i trudged toward the pack house. One foot in front of the other till i reached the front door. Pausing, i closed my eyes. Wiling myself to see these faces i had tried to avoid

You can do this Nova. Its just Blake.

Opening my eyes, with a new found strength, i pushed the door open and glided into the foyer. I frowned, peering around. The pack house has changed so much.. decor wise anyway. It was more modern.. gender neutral.

Making my way to the den where the stairs began, a few wolves were there watching tv looked up at me.. wide eyes bulging out of their sockets

"Luna?" One female breathed, the others looking at her and back to me. I frowned in confusion.. these wolves have lost their mind.

Cleaeing my throat, "Um. Is the Alpha in his office?" I rose a brow, my heart hammering. At least Zaryn wasnt here.

The female shook her head with wide eyes. "Hes in the Alphas suite."

"Thanks." I smiled, turning to head up the stairs.. Blake never stayed there.. i wondered to myself why he was there now.

As i reached the third floor, my wolf was going crazy.. Zaryns scent increased and i felt so nauseous. Walking slowly.. i came to the suite door, knocking lightly.

Please dont let zaryn be in here.  Please.

"Come in!" A deep voice i didnt recognize sounded.

Tugging my lip between my teeth, with sweaty palms and a racing heart, i opened the door to the spacious room, dimly lit by a single lamp.

Zaryn's scent filled my senses and my wolf was wallering all over the floor of my mind. High on it.

In front of me was Blake. he was sitting in a chair facing a desk against the window that overlooked the back yard, the night sky now taking over.. presenting a full moon and twinkling stars.

the tall leather backing of the chair facing me. All i could see was the back of Blakes head and no sign of Zaryn. I sighed, my nerves leaving me as a blank mask fell over my face, stepping into the room.

"Alpha Blake? Its me.. Nova. Alpha Maxim brought me back.. for good. We just arrived and he asked me to check in with you." I kept my voice firm.. unyeilding.

It was quiet for a moment.

Until the chair swiveled around revealing startling blue eyes that bore into me with an intensity.

It was Zaryn

my eyes popped wide open at what i was seeing.. my jaw dropped in surprise .

Complete and utter shock

He stood to his full height and my eyes followed, him seeming taller. his lips parted.. eyes bluer than i remembered.. staring at me..

his gaze roving over my body, examining every dip, curve and scar before landing on my face. the electrical hum his stare vibrated into my skin due to our bond was making me shiver.. magnetic. Wanting to be close to him. All the anxiety quickly left and was replaced by undiluted lust... both our eyes dilating.. blown out with black.

my features were being caressed by his watchful gaze, an intense burning look in those baby blues.

I just stared open mouthed. Disbelief all over my features.

It was Zaryn alright.. but this Zaryn was more like the one from my dreams.. only bigger now. His eyes harder.. as if he had been through a lot.

His face no longer held that boyish look to it.. he was manly. His hair was short all around, on top longer than the rest. He was wearing a black t shirt.. like most males i know.. his muscles bulging underneath. So huge with tattoos going up his forearm, bicep and im assuming over his shoulder.

Who was this wolf? He looks nothing like i remember.

Only his features are the same. His jaw more angular.. form broader with the mass of muscles he had apparently gained. He was no longer 21. He was 22 now.  He just had a birthday this past month.. but there was something more about him. He reeked of dominance and it had me going wild.. i swallowed hard.

Our silence and the appreciation of each others bodies was broken by his deep barritone voice. "Blake is no longer the Alpha." It was a shaky whisper. He moved away from his desk... coming towards me in slow strides..

The pleasure his stare was giving me was unlike anything i had ever felt. So much more intense than it used to be. My knees began to shake with how he looked at me.. my breathing picked up.. a tight coil inside my belly..

"W-what" i breathed shakily.

My eyes half closed with the electric currents he was sending through my body.. my wolf practically humping the ground in my mind, rolling around to taste his scent. My teeth suddenly ached.. wanting to claim him all over again. I wasnt used to this dominance. My tongue begged for just a taste.

He came closer..  eyes locked onto mine. "Is it really you?" He whispered, unsure. His lips.. they drew my atrention. So full.. i could see a hole that had grown up from a piercing perhaps?

I nodded. "What happened to you." I was all breathy.

He stepped closer once more.. now towering over me.. just inches away so that i was feeling his body heat.

"I could say the same to you.." his voice but a whisper. A deep deep whisper that had my body shaking.. he was shaking too. His eyes went to my mate mark.. a hand reaching up.. fingers brushing against it softly.

With a shaky breath, i inhaled.. closing my eyes. The bliss of his skin on mine.. sent a hot trail in it's wake as those rought fingers trailed up my neck.. across my jaw before brushing his thumb against my lips.

"Beautiful." It was whispered.

I couldn't stop it.. these feelings were like a train wreck inside my body.. forcing my mind to blank out and my body to feel.

It had been so long. I had been with only one male only one time. Zaryn.

I needed to feel him..

I needed to feel him badly.  Against my skin.

Without another moment to think, his hands shot out, wrapping around my waist, pressing my body to his and i gasped in surprise. His hand tangled in the back of my hair, forcing my head back and his soft lips met mine in a heated kiss of passion.

He felt the chemistry.. the pull. As did i.

A hand slipped from my waist to my hip and ass, squeezing it as we devoured each other like animals.. my hands ripping his tshirt off of him by the collar.. shredding the material away revealing large tattooed muscles that had me gasping.

With a ferocity.. we were going to devour each other.. being bonded yet so far away for so long..

Theres no way our wolves wouldnt let us not have this moment.

Dun dun dun
