Nova;
“It’s a beautiful morning, isn’t it, My Princess? Your dress is here,” Marion utters in joy. Rushing toward the window, and sliding the curtain open.
She has the brightest of joy on her face. She has been this way ever since I woke up alive. Surviving death for a second time.
Today is Alpha Arthur and Elara’s wedding and I want to give them the surprise of their lives – my presence. They don’t know I’m alive. I made sure none of my family said a word to them when I woke up because I wanted to give Alpha Arthur and Elara the good news myself.
Well, it has been two weeks since the Goddess decided to give me a third chance to live. Honestly, I was truly gone but was brought back.
Let me give you a little detail of what happened.
After pleading for Father to forgive Jasmine and David, I didn’t know what next happened to me. I only saw myself in a parallel world and I was in transit just like the other unknown faces. But then a moon came up to me. The most beautiful, and I instantly knew it was the Goddess.
She stopped me from passing through a door, asking me to return. I couldn’t forget her words. ‘As long as you have a good heart and decide to forgive your enemies, granting them a chance to atone for their sins. I, the Goddess, will also grant you a third life.’ And with that, a force hit me hard. My eyelid shot opened.
It was funny when my parents and Kingsley screamed, running for their lives the moment I opened my eyes. I was so confused at first but then I burst into laughter when I understood their reason for running away. I heard my burial was even the next day.
Mother told me they had plans to bury me earlier – the next day after I had collapsed, but Elara stopped them. She told them to let my body be for a while; she felt something good would happen. Elara saved my life for a second time.
I owe her so much.
I was too excited about everything and wanted to rush down to the NightShade pack and inform Elara that I survived. But then, the good news came. The news of Alpha Arthur and Elara getting married in two weeks’ time.
So I decided I would let Elara find out about me on her wedding day, and today is the day. I’m in a hotel in the NightShade pack, and it’s time to get ready.
“Is the bathroom water cold or warm, Marion?” Pushing myself out of bed.
“Both, My Princess. You look very beautiful this morning, and I know you will get the attention of every man at the wedding when you walk in,” she flatters as always.
Waving my hand dismissively, “Oh, come on, Marion. Every lady will be gorgeous at the party. What about your dress? Do you like it?”
“I love it, My Princess.”
“Go get ready then. We don’t have much time.”
Marion bows her head and returns to her hotel room.
Dancing around the room in excitement, I make my way to the bathroom. Have a warm bath, and step out to the bedroom. I reach out for my white sheath dress and throw it on my body. It’s an all-white party.
Just then, Marion returns to the room. She is also in a sheath white dress and it looks good on her. I always love it when she looks great.
“Sit, let me fix your hair, My Princess.”
I stroll toward the front of the mirror and sit. Marion styles my hair in a classic bun. Helps me with my makeup and shoes. In a few more minutes, we are ready.
We step out and the driver takes us to the venue. My parents and Kingsley have already gone to the venue.
Arriving, I make sure to have my seat at the back. The wedding is being held in an open garden. As expected, a lot of Alphas, Betas, and Gammas are present. Both male and female.
The priest pronounces the couple, man, and wife, and declares the party open.
I stand up from my seat, snatch a glass of champagne from a tray, and make my way toward Elara and Alpha Arthur.
Pointing my glass at them as I move closer, “Congratulations to the bride and groom.”
“Nova!!” Elara’s hand flies to her mouth. Just the reaction I want. Alpha Arthur just stands, gazing at me in an unbelievable way. “You survived, Nova. Just how?” Her eyes water.
“No. No. No. Don’t do this Elara. Not on your wedding day.”
“I’m sorry, Nova,” she sniffs her nose, fighting back the tears. “I’m just happy that you’re alive.”
“And I’m also happy that you two finally ended up together. Congratulations once more and lots of blessings in your new home, Elara.” Running my gaze everywhere, “Where is Malicia?”
Elara points in a direction, “Over there with her fiance.”
“Finace?”
“Yes, Nova. She and Beta Bronson are engaged to be married soon.”
“Wahoo! She bagged herself a handsome man just like you. I will go say hi to her,” I blow Elara a kiss and make to amble toward Malicia.
But Elara holds me back, “Wait, Nova. How did you survive? I mean, we witnessed your death firsthand.” Her eyes gaze right at me. Questioning.
“The Goddess always has her way, Elara. Today is your happy day, let’s not speak about things like this right now. I will give you the full details whenever I come to visit after your honeymoon.”
“Pinky promise,” she stretches her tiny finger, and I lock mine with it. “Pinky promise.” Alpha Arthur instantly shakes his head in an unbelievable way and we all laugh. “Let me say hi to Malicia, Elara. See you soon,” and with that, I make my way toward Malicia.
She is standing with Beta Bronson, Alpha Blade, Kalus, and two Gamma wolves. I guess the Gamma wolves are that of Alpha Arthur and Alpha Blade.
“Hi, Malicia,” calling out to her. My feet halt right in front of them. Malicia and the others actually don’t know my real face. And I guess that is the reason for the confusion on her face.
“Hi,” she waves at me, her face still holding the confused look. Bending her head a little to the side, “You are?”
“Nova. The one who borrowed Elara’s body then. This is…”
“Nova!!!” She immediately wraps her arms around my body, cutting off my introduction. “You are alive, Nova. Thank Goddess. Elara told me everything,” she utters, breaking off the hug. “Oh, Goddess. You look so elegant and beautiful,” her eyes scan my body.
“And you too, Malicia. You look very beautiful. Congratulations on your engagement.”
“Elara told you, right?”
“Mmm-hmm!! Who doesn’t like good news?” Waving at the others, “Hi, Alpha Blade. Hello, Beta Bronson. And greetings to the Gammas.”
Everyone is complete aside from Loki, Alpha Arthur’s best friend, and Beta. I heard he has been stripped of his position as a Beta and now dwells like a normal werewolf. He is banned from every activity in every pack, and his freedom is limited.
This is Alpha Arthur giving him a lighter punishment because of their friendship. Other Alphas would have taken his life.
“Hi, Nova,” Alpha Blade outstretched his palm toward me. “Do you have a man to dance with? I’m a single handsome Alpha, who has just picked interest in a beautiful lady like you. I’m ready to protect this beauty and be that man for her but only if she lets me. So what do you think, Nova?” He gives me a cute stare.
With my cheeks dragging from side to side in a radiant smile, “Alright, Alpha Blade.” I fix my hand on his.
Who on this damn earth will say no to such a hot Alpha like Alpha Blade? I’m single, so he is. Not a bad idea from him. I think a new phase of my life is about to begin, and it’s gonna be with Alpha Blade.
