“Yes, just over” Alex agrees.
Looking at Nova I see the understanding in her eyes. “No..” she whispers.
“No?” Ophelia asks.
“We found out we were true mates at that time” I say.
“So it could be linked” Alex says slowly as he looks between us.
“Fuck sake” I mutter. “Why does it just keep getting bigger.”
“I’m sorry” I hear Nova whisper making me turn to see her lips quivering as she fights to stop herself crying.
“No love” I whisper as I move to crouch in front of her, “none of this is your fault. You are an amazing woman and our pack and I could not wish for a better Luna. What you have accomplished in your life is absolutely amazing, you’re amazing. Please don’t ever apologise again or feel guilty for this. It’s the actions of others that are to blame, their decisions and their fault.”
“He’s right Nova” Ophelia says from behind me, “I would never blame you for this. I only met you recently and I know you are as pure as one can be. Don’t let that guilt spread.”
“Don’t” I whisper as I look into her eyes. Nodding her head she squares her shoulders and takes a deep breath.
“You’re right” she murmurs with an embarrassed smile. “I apologise I didn’t mean to get emotional.”
Pointing at the tears streaming down her own face Ophelia chuckles, “darling that was hardly emotional.”
“Ophelia cry’s at everything” Alex adds in with a wink at his mate who squeezes his arm.
“True, but do I need to tell them about Marley and me and a certain Alpha King?” She asks coyly lighting the mood slightly.
“Don’t” he gasps as she laughs lightly.
“My lips are sealed” she whispers before they kiss one another lightly.
As Ophelia returns to her chair Nova looks at her curiously, “is there a way to lift the curse?”
“Yes” Alex says slowly.
“I’m sensing a but” I wince.
Nodding he looks at me sadly, “it can only be lifted by the one who cast it. We have spoken to our packs advisors and they are certain of that.”
“Ah fuck” I curse quietly.
“I can help you” Nova says quietly.
“What?” Ophelia asks in shock.
Nova takes a deep breath before her eyes turn to that of Kia showing she has moved to speak.
“I may not be able to heal your wolf but I can certainly lend her my strength. It will slow down the effect of the curse and hopefully give us enough time to figure this out” Kia links us all as we all look at Nova in amazement. “I would like to speak to our uncle Johnathon before we try which we will do at the Luna ceremony, just to confirm it’s safe for me to do so.”
“How do you know you can?” Alex asks her curiously.
“I just know” she responds, “it’s instinctual but im certain I can. Do you trust me?”
“We do” both Alex and Ophelia say immediately.
“Thank you Kia” Ophelia adds on softly.
“You are deserving” is all Kia says before she retreats and allows Nova to have control once more.
“Amazing” I whisper as Nova smiles shyly.
“Truly amazing” Alex agrees relief in his voice.
“We will get to the bottom of this” I say comforting them.
“We know” Alex smiles, “but for now we all should concentrate on your Luna Ceremony. We need some lightness in our lives.”
“Definitely” I chuckle.
Nova POV:
Humming to myself as I walk outside after finishing everything I needed to do today I feel the excitement at the thought of tomorrow grow. Standing and looking around the pack grounds I feel warmth spread through me as I realise this time tomorrow I will officially be the packs Luna.
Smiling and waving to a few pack members as they pass and say their greetings, I stretch and enjoy the peacefulness of the evening. “Home” Kia murmurs happily to me.
“Nova!” I turn hearing my name being called loudly to see Naomi running towards me.
“Whoa slow down mama to be” I laugh, “I’m here what’s up?”
Taking a moment to gain her breath I smile at her as she blushes slightly from her eagerness. “I just wanted to run you through tomorrow before you head upstairs. I know you’ve had a ceremony before but if I don’t Alice will be all over me. You know what she’s like” she laughs.
“Let’s go sit in the garden, we can relax for a bit. I think you’ve earnt it” I smile as we link arms and stroll round the pack house.
“I love this view” she sighs as we take a seat. Nodding my head I can’t help but agree as the orange hues of the setting sun cast a glow over the colourful garden.
