Her jeans had a rip in the knee and her cheeks were stained with tears. Her leg hurt where she fell. She wanted her mommy. Hearing a stick break behind her, she turned. She ran to hide behind a rock and hugged her knees to her chest.
Out of the darkness came a giant black wolf, his grey eyes met Nova's. He laid down and his ears flattened. He crawled ever so slowly to Nova, trying not to scare her more than she already was. Once he got closer, Nova reached out and ran her fingers through his soft dark black fur. He licked her hand. Slowly he stood and licked her face, she giggled.
He turned his head and out of the dark came a white wolf with blue eyes and a dark grey wolf with a patch of black on one ear.
Seth, being the puppy he was bounced over to Nova. She wrapped her arms around him. Dean nudged her side, brushing his head on her leg. His blue eyes met hers and a calming wave poured over Nova. Dean might be rough and tough when it came to the enemy, but when they needed someone to manipulate the bad vibes or one of the other Alpha's needed to be calmed down or driven mad, they called Dean. He used his ability on Seth once and Seth had described it as a bad acid trip, scary. He saw things that weren't really there.
Roman licked at her cut and whined. Hearing Dean in his head.
"Ro, I saw an empty cave near by. We should take her there before the temperature drops. It will be too cold for her here", Dean said to Roman.
"Lets go", Roman said.
Roman tugged on her jeans gently. She realized he wanted her to stand. Once she was up, he bit down on the edge of her shirt and pulled her to follow Dean. Once at the cave, she stopped.
"I don't know", she said.
Roman tugged harder to get her to move. Dean once again sent a calm vibe towards her, and she followed.
"Seth go and find help, bring them here", Roman said.
"Got it", Seth said, before taking off towards the woods.
Dean laid down by the cave wall. Roman nudged Nova to lay beside Dean. Even in the cave it was cold, she cuddled close to Dean's large body. Dean laid his head down and Nova used it as a pillow.
Roman laid beside her, squishing her between them to keep her warm. Roman felt her tiny arms wrap around his neck. She was shivering from the cold. Roman hated using it but he had too, she was cold. His eyes turned redish orange and his body was getting hotter. Roman was a rare wolf, a HellHound, humans called it. Which he inherited from his mother. He hated using it because that side of him was strong, it took over if he left it on for too long. He was meant to consume souls that belonged to supernatural creatures. Thankfully his mother taught him different.
"I want my mommy", she cried.
Roman and Dean whined. Her crying stopped and her breathing slowed, she had fallen asleep.
"It's ok little one, you're safe", Roman said.
"Rome, mind turning it off? It's really hot now, I think I'm cooking", Dean said.
Roman laughed and did as he asked. Roman knew Nova felt right at home in the heat, she was part Phoenix after all. It didn't bother her one bit, it actually put her to sleep.
Brie-
Brie had called Bryan, almost eight hours had passed and not a sign of their little girl. So many were searching. Finally Brie felt a power, she looked up to see a grey wolf running to her. In her head she heard over and over again.
"We found her, we found her", his voice said.
Seth jumped up and down in front of Brie and Bryan. To see a huge wolf jumping up and down in front of you was weird for Bryan. Seth tugged on Bryan's jacket and Bryan followed, along with a couple of other guys.
"Why are we following a wolf? That thing could attack us", Wade said.
"He knows something and if it leads me to my little girl that is all I care about", Bryan.
"If he, what if", Wade couldn't finish that horrible sentence.
"I still need to find her, no matter what", Bryan said.
Seth barked and jumped on Bryan. They continued to follow him. Seth stopped at a cave and Bryan held his breath. Seth moved behind Bryan and pushed his legs to go in. Bryan pet the wolf and walked in. He turned his flashlight on and it lit the cave. Eyes glowed and a huge black wolf with grey eyes looked back at him and stood. He was huge, like great dane huge, maybe a little bigger.
Seth went bouncing towards Roman.
"That's her dad", Seth said.
Roman stepped back and nudged something with his nose. Nova woke up and wiped her eyes. Dean licked her cheek and looked at Bryan, growling.
"Relax, that's her dad", Roman said.
Dean didn't stand till Nova did. Dean was the same size as Seth, big but not as big as Roman.
"Daddy", Nova went running to Bryan.
Bryan lifted his little girl in his arms and held her tight. Nova cried.
"I got you baby", Bryan said, kissing the side of Nova's head.
"I want mommy", Nova cried.
"Lets go see mommy then", he said.
Bryan looked at the three wolves who watched him. Seth was the only one wagging his tail, tongue hanging out.
"Can we keep them daddy?", Nova asked.
"Um", Bryan looked back at the three wolves.
"Please", Nova begged.
She had never asked for anything, ever. Sometimes Bryan thought she was too good to be true. His daughter was too perfect. Bryan loved her either way.
"I guess its ok, come on", Bryan said.
The three wolves followed Bryan. Finally getting to the clearing, he could see Brie. She saw them and ran to them. Bryan put Nova down and she ran to her mom. Brie held her little girl close.
"Mommy, I didn't mean to. I promise", Nova whispered.
"Its ok. You didn't mean too?", Brie whispered back.
"I got angry, that boy was gonna throw sand at me and they kept calling me a freak. I'm sorry mommy", Nova whispered.
Brie kissed Nova's forehead. Brie noticed the three large wolves, she picked up Nova.
"Bryan?", she asked.
"Nova asked and right now I couldn't say no, besides they kept her safe and warm. They protected her", Bryan said.
Brie looked at all three wolves who sat at her feet.
"I'll get them checked out, make sure they're good to go", Bryan said.
"Fine", Brie said, rushing back to the car.
Brie sat in the back seat with Nova, who was now asleep in her lap. Bryan opened the back door of the jeep to let the wolves in.
"Hey, I'm gonna thank everyone again", Bryan said.
Brie nodded and once Bryan was far enough away, she looked at all three wolves.
"You can't have her", Brie said.
Her eyes turned a dark red. Dean looked at her and she saw his eyes glow a light blue.
"Stop doing that", she said, calmer than she intended too.
"Would you rather Randy have her or The Wyatt family and yes they do know of her", Roman said.
"Do they know she's here?", Brie asked.
"Only we do but she used her powers, it won't be long before they do", Seth said.
"I have to call Paige", Brie said.
"Does your human know of our kind?", Roman asked.
"No and I want to keep it that way", Brie said.
"And Nova?", Dean asked.
Brie looked down at her sleeping daughter.
"Only when I bring down the wall", Brie said.
"We wouldn't hurt her and our rules still apply in the human world. Not till she is of age can I mate with her and of course with her permission. I also need your approval to be with her", Roman said.
"I know", Brie mumbled.
"So we can stay?", Seth asked.
Brie sighed.
"Yes", she replied.
"I'm Seth", the grey wolf said, jumping into the seat and laying on Nova's legs.
"Dean", the white wolf said yawning.
"And I'm", she cut him off.
"I know, Roman. I was almost married off to your brother Matt. You've grown, the last time I saw you you were what five", Brie chuckled.
"Right", Roman said.
"Promise to keep her safe?", Brie asked.
"She's our future Alpha's mate. Seth and I were placed as her guards and Roman well, you know what his duties are", Dean said.
"We were personally choosen by Roman's father, not only because we are his friends but because we are the strongest in our pack", Seth said.
"For Nova, I will even protect your human", Roman said.
"Thank you", Brie whispered.
Bryan came back and handed Brie his jacket.
"How's my princess?", he asked.
"Sleeping", Brie said, brushing Nova's hair.
Bryan looked at the wolves.
"They kept her warm. She could have died in the cold", Bryan said.
Brie smiled and rubbed Seth's head.
"They love her", Brie whispered.
Bryan smiled.
"Looks like it. I'm still a little worried because they're wolves, huge wolves. Especially that black one", he said, starting the car.
"I don't think they'll hurt her", Brie smiled.
Once home, Bryan carried Nova to her room. The three wolves looked at Bryan and sat down.
"Your home, your rules. May we follow her?", Roman asked.
"I think they are asking for permission to follow", Brie said, reading Roman's mind.
"What do you think?", he asked Brie.
All three wolves turned their heads to look at her.
"I say its fine", she said.
Bryan nodded and called to them, they followed.
"Coming babe?", Bryan asked her.
"I'll be right there", she said.
Once Bryan was out of sight, Roman had stayed behind. He watched as she waved her hand in front of the tv screen. A red glow from her hands, her eyes a dark red. Then Paige appeared.
"I know what you're about to say and ask", she said.
"And?", Brie asked.
"They know you're in California. They just don't know exactly where", Paige said.
"And?", Brie asked.
"I can be at yours tomorrow to cloak her again, but Brie, she is getting stronger", Paige said.
"I know", Brie said softly.
"She needs to go to our world, at least till she can control herself", Paige said.
"You know damn well why I can't take her there", Brie said, raising her voice a little.
"I know but it's the safest place for her", she said.
"I married a human. I won't be welcomed back with open arms and they will take Nova from me. They will dangle her in front of every single male, no matter what kind of creature he is and they will marry her off to him whether he is good or not and you said it yourself, in the wrong hands she will be our end. I need her to end up in good hands, in safe hands", Brie said.
"Looks like she already is", Paige said smiling.
Brie looked down at Roman, then back at Paige.
"I'll see you tomorrow", Paige said.
Brie nodded and waved her hand again. She looked down at Roman.
"I'm trusting you Reigns", Brie said.
He bowed. Walking upstairs and to Nova's room. Bryan was tucking her in, he kissed her forehead.
"I love you so much my little super Nova", he whispered.
Seth jumped onto her bed and laid at her feet. His head resting on one of her legs. Dean stretched out beside her, belly up. Roman made himself comfortable by the window in the dark corner. He could see the whole room from here. He could protect her.
"Looks like who ever tries to break in is screwed", Bryan said.
Brie laughed and wrapped her arms around Bryan's neck.
"I love you Mr. Danielson and you are the best daddy in the whole world", Brie said.
"Tell my wife that", he said.
Brie laughed and went to their room. Bryan took one last look at his little girl.
"Take care of my baby boys", he said.
Seth sneezed and Bryan chuckled.
"I'll take that as an ok", Bryan said.
Once he was gone, Dean glanced at Roman.
"I like him", Dean said.
"Me too", Seth second.
"He's a good man", Roman said.
