Nova grabbed her mom's journal and flipped it to the next page.
Nova,
As I write this, I'm watching you sleep. You seem so at peace and carefree. I'm so in love and completely over the moon with you.
You are my little miracle. For Phoenix it could take so many years before finally being able to conceive or sometimes not at all. You're special.
You don't know how special. You've been showing signs of your powers, which isn't suppose to happen yet. You're only a few days old.
Its so hard to hide these gifts of yours from your dad. He doesn't know and I don't know if I ever want to tell him. I don't know how he would react and it scares me that he would leave us if he knew. Would he be afraid of us?
He loves you so much, I don't think he would ever abandon you. Maybe one day we could tell him together.
Love, Mommy
Nova looked out the window. Feeling the strong urge to look, like someone was calling to her without saying anything. She could see a wolf laying by a tree. She felt light and dare she think it, happy. A smile on her face.
"That's Roman", she turned to see her grandpa leaning against the door.
A smile on his face.
"What's he doing here?", she asked.
"Asked for permission to step onto our land. The pull to your mate makes you want to stay close. I remember it well with your grandmother. The urge to want just a glimpse, a smile, to hear a laugh. Its strong.", he explained.
"Did grandma let you?", she asked.
He walked into the room and sat beside her.
"Yes. Her parents on the other hand, not so much. We were still young and they wanted her to see the world, including the human world", he said.
Nova smiled.
"Becky told me what happened, with him. I'm not going to tell you what to do Nova. Unlike your grandmother and I, you've got three to pick from.", he said.
"Grandma tried to keep me away from the other two", she said.
He nodded.
"I know. Just like I know she liked Roman. She chose him and hoped you would too.", he said.
Nova looked back out the window.
"Whether you decide to go out there or not, he'll keep coming back. It's the pull", he said, before kissing the top of her head and walking out of her room.
Stephanie, Hunter, and Randy were sitting out front yelling at each other.
"So you just let them take her?", she shouted.
"There was nothing I could do. She did something to me, I could see everything happening, but I had no control over my body till she left.", Randy explained.
"I didn't know Phoenix could do that", Hunter said.
"She's different from the rest. She's stronger somehow. I could feel it when she was here and when I tried to read her mind, it was like someone was blocking me and I couldn't", Stephanie said.
"Of course she's different. She blew up a freaking Demon, not even the Coven could do that", Randy said.
"Angels can", Hunter said.
"No, she's not an Angel. She's a Phoenix and half Banshee from her dad, but not even Banshee's could do that", Stephanie said, nodding towards whatever was left of Kane.
"What are we going to do?", Hunter asked.
"Give me the girl", they turned to see Undertaker.
"She's not here", Randy said.
Undertaker looked at all three of them.
"Tell me where she is, now", Taker growled.
"All we know is that her family took her after your brother killed her grandmother.", Hunter said.
Undertaker looked at Stephanie, grabbing her arm and reading her memories. His eyes rolled to the back of his head as flashes of her meeting with Nova showed. He let her go, she fainted in Hunter's arms.
"What did you do to her?", Hunter growled.
Undertaker rolled his eyes.
"She'll be fine", he said.
He walked over to his brother's remains and placed his hand. Again, seeing flashes of his brother and him killing the old woman. Seeing Finn with the girl and Alpha Reigns. Undertaker growled.
"Balor", he said.
Nova made her way towards Roman. His wolf sat up and his tail wagged.
"What are you doing here?", she asked.
The wolf hid behind a tree and Roman came out with shorts on.
"I needed to see you. To make sure you were okay. The way things were left, I didn't like it, my wolf didn't like it", he explained.
She looked down at her hands. He took a step towards her.
"I thought she was you, Nova. She had your face, your body. Stephanie, she", she cut him off.
"Stephanie?", Nova asked.
Roman nodded.
"She did something to make Abigail look like you. She's not a good person, Nova. I would never do anything to hurt you. I didn't mark her, I still belong to you", he said.
Nova swallowed. He looked her over, something was different.
"Did you, did you mate with Randy?", he asked.
He could smell him on her.
"No, he tried, but my Phoenix stopped him", she said.
He exhaled and smiled. He reached out and touched her cheek lightly. She felt this tingling sensation run over her body.
"You smell like him and my wolf doesn't like that", he said.
His eyes flashed red as he walked around her. His hands gripping her hips from behind and pulling her back into him. She could feel him press against her butt. He rubbed himself against her.
"I can't stand that smell.", he growled.
She closed her eyes as she felt him harden against her. He stopped and turned her. He placed his nose to her neck, smelling her skin for Randy's scent. He moved down her body, the tip of his nose brushing her skin as he moved. She shivered. Getting to where Randy's scent was strongest, he growled.
"What did he do?", he asked.
"He", she couldn't say it, it wasn't really her who let him.
It was her Phoenix.
"He touched you there. With what?", he asked.
His fingers digging into her hips.
"Tell me what he did", he demanded.
She blushed and looked away from him. He stood and cupped her face in his hands so she could meet his eyes.
"Did he use his hand?", he asked.
Nova shook her head no.
"His mouth?", he asked.
She nodded.
"Did you enjoy it?", he asked hurt.
She wasn't going to deny it.
"I've never felt anything like it", she whispered.
"You want him?", he asked softly.
Their eyes connected.
"No", she replied.
He bent down and connected their lips. His tongue swiped her bottom one.
"Let me show you what I can do", he whispered against her lips.
Moving down her body again, his fingers undid her jeans. She didn't hear any warning bells telling her to stop him. Her Phoenix was content with letting him, if not, she would have stopped this. Roman pushed her up against a tree and lifted her leg over his shoulder before working his mouth against her.
She gasped. This was different from Randy. Her fingers gripped the tree behind her as she tried to catch her breath. He growled against her. Her fingers getting lost in his hair.
Finn walked into the house. Becky stood and hugged him.
"He knows and I'm sure by now he's read their minds. I can't go back there", Finn said.
Becky swallowed.
"Do you think he'll come here?", she asked.
"No, I'm sure he'll hit Reigns pack first", Finn said.
"Reigns pack?", Becky asked.
"Roman was there", Finn said.
"Roman is here and his pack", she stopped.
"Is unprotected", Finn finished before flying out the door to find Roman.
Becky followed right behind him. They found him with Nova, kissing.
"Did you two mate?", Finn asked.
Nova blushed and Roman shook his head no.
"Just getting rid of the Viper smell", Roman said.
He saw the look on Finn's face.
"What is it?", Roman asked.
"Undertaker knows", Finn said.
Roman's heart stopped. He quickly shifted and ran home. Finn took Nova and Becky's hands.
"What's going on?", Nova asked.
"Something bad", Finn said.
Wolves were no match for a Demon, especially one as strong as Taker.
