CHAPTER 48
KODA POV
We had been following Ava all day. She had a go at Jasper about Nova accepting the mate bond and looked really pissed and disappointed that Nova didn’t stick to their plan.
I guess Nova was right. We couldn’t trust Ava. She was definitely up to something.
But it was the person that she called on the phone that we were mostly interested in. We wanted to know who the hell he was before we said or did anything to Ava.
We followed her for the rest of the day but after she made that phone call, she went home and she had a fight with Izzy.
That didn’t surprise me. Izzy wanted Nova gone and Ava was doing everything she could to keep her here. She’s the one that brought her here, but it was for a mission.
I could feel how Tyler and Dean were both feeling towards Ava at the moment.
But we knew that we had to be smart about this.
She was smarter than us when it came to stabbing people in the back. She made that very clear today.
But Jasper was also in on their little plan.
Why was it such a problem if she accepted the mate bond? They should be happy that they
have such a strong Luna.
And she’s proven that she will do whatever she can to save us.
I know that she was tasked with keeping us safe, but she’s done a lot to keep the pack safe as
well.
We were really confused by everything that was going on.
Nova sent us a few messages today to see what we were doing and I hated lying to her. But
we had to tell her that we were still doing crap for the pack.
The boring Alpha paperwork and stuff like that.
She understood and we knew that she’d just get on with what she needed to do.
She always seemed like she had something to do.
Ava finally left the house late in the afternoon and we followed her to the highway where a really expensive car pulled up beside her.

A man got out of the backseat. A large, bulky werewolf who looked like he was in his 40’s and he looked very showy as well.
A driver, a Rolls Royce, a $5000 suit. His hair slicked back and we could smell his cologne
from where we were standing.
“Hello Wesley.” Ava said.
“So, I hear my daughter is causing you a few problems.” Wesley said.
We all looked at each other and we knew that something was seriously wrong.
Nova doesn’t know who her father is. She’s never met him. Why would Ava call him and get
him to the pack?
“She’s not following the rules.” Ava said.
“What’s she done that’s so bad?” Wesley asked.
“She was meant to save this pack. Not destroy it. She’s accepted the mate bond.” Ava said. And Wesley snapped his head around to look at Ava.
“Are you f*****g kidding me? I told you that you had to find another plan once it was clear that they were mates.”
“We didn’t think that she would be so affected by the mate bond because of all the other species that she has in her.” Ava explained.
“You know that this is bad.”
“I know. That’s why I called. I don’t know what the hell to do.” Ava said.
“I think I might. It’s a long shot, but it might work.” Wesley said.
“Good. What is it?”
“I’m not telling you s**t. You obviously can’t be trusted to deal with this. So I will. Where the hell am I staying while I’m here?” He asked.
“At the hotel. It’s the nicest in town. But it’s probably not as nice as you’re used to. I’ve already reserved you a room. It’s the biggest building in town.” Ava explained.
So he got back in the car and he drove off, leaving her standing there in the middle of the road. Ava looks nervous now that she’s not a part of the plan that Wesley is putting together.
I guess that’s what she gets for being a backstabbing b***h.
Ava went back home and it looked like she was getting settled in for the night so we headed to Nova’s house.

CHAPTER 48
When we got there, we checked the whole house and she wasn’t there.
“She’s probably checking the perimeter. Like she always does.” Tyler said, sitting on the couch.
“Alright. Listen, we can’t tell Nova any of this. So, try not to think about it when she’s around. She won’t read our minds if she doesn’t have to. But if she thinks you’re lying to her then she will. We have to find out what the hell Ava is up to before we start to worry Nova.” I explained.
“We agreed to protect each other. Not keep secrets from each other.” Dean said.
“We are protecting her. Until we know what’s really going on, this is the best thing for her.”
Tyler said.
So we sat in the living room to watch TV for a bit before Nova finally got back to the house.
“Hey. I thought you guys would be at your place.” Nova said.
“No. Dad knows about us so he doesn’t care where we sleep.” I said.
“Good to know. You guys hungry?” She asked.
“How about we go out instead? The diner down the road.” Tyler said.
“Yeah. If you want.” She said.
So Nova grabbed her bag and keys and she actually locked her house up for the first time.
I guess she really is getting sick of people barging in uninvited.
We walked to the diner which was just around the corner and we sat at a booth and ordered
something to eat.
I noticed that everyone was staring at Nova and it wasn’t long before Nova noticed it as well.
I saw her concentrating so she was listening to what they were thinking and I mind linked everyone to mind their own business. So they all looked away quickly.
“Why are they all saying that I shouldn’t be here?” Nova asked.
“There’s just a few people that don’t understand you yet. They’re being ignorant and they aren’t willing to give you a chance.” I explained.
“Do you think I should talk to them?” She asked.
“I think we should just let the dust settle for now.” I said. And she nodded her head.
I think she did agree. She wasn’t going to argue with us when it came to the pack. We knew them better and she knew that they would probably not warm up to her anyway.
That was always pretty obvious with her because she didn’t like to do too many things around

the pack.
And the fact that she can hear what they’re thinking doesn’t help.
I just wanted everyone to get over it and realize that she’s not here to hurt anyone. She’s not here to kill anyone except the people that are coming here to kill us.
That’s it. She’s on our side.
I sat next to Nova and put my arm across the booth behind her and the waitress finally came
over and took our order.
So I used my hand to push Nova’s shoulder and she leaned into me a little more as we were
sitting in the booth.
Tyler and Dean were doing their best to act normal, but Dean was being a little too quiet.
A lot quieter than usual.
“Hey. Is everything alright?” Nova asked him.
“Yeah. Sorry. Just tired. It’s been a long boring day.” Dean said, looking back out the window.
“What did you do today?” Tyler asked.
“Not much. Went to see Lexie. And I’m glad to report that she doesn’t hate me. And I walked the perimeter. I did a bit of school work. Even though the school isn’t there anymore. They’re sending us assignments and school work through emails for the time being.” Nova explained.
“Crap. We better check out emails.” I said.
“Yeah. If you want to graduate at the end of this year.” Nova said, looking at me. So I leaned
over and kissed her.
“I’m definitely graduating with you.” I said.
After dinner we went back to Nova’s house and we decided to watch a movie and Nova was between Tyler and Dean on the couch.
She was lying on the couch between them and when I looked over at her again, she was asleep with her head on Tyler’s lap and her feet on Dean’s lap.
I just smiled at her and kept watching the movie.
I don’t know how anyone could want to hurt something so perfect.
