When I woke up, I had papa pressing my hair back and repeating the movement giving me a feeling of comfort. He smiled when I opened my eyes putting a smile on my face.

"Morning baby girl, time to wake up." He said softly.

"No, I don' wanna." I whined and moved away to hide my face.

"Come on Nova. If you're not up and dressed there'll be no waffles for you." Papa said. Once again I whined because I don't want to wake up but I want waffles. The want for waffles was more than I wanted sleep, I got up had a quick shower then went downstairs with a summer dress on.

"Here you go." Papa gave a plate with a couple waffles on it and syrup on the top. A wide smile came to my face as I looked at the sweet breakfast instantly making my mouth water. Without hesitation I delve into the waffles scoffing it down.

"Slow down Nova." Dada told me.

"Sorry." I smiled with a mouthful of waffle making my speaking come out muffled.

"It's okay princess." He returned the smile then we all went back to eating. Soon enough, I was done and ran up to my room to clean my teeth like papa told me to.

While I was having trouble finding a way to hold my toothpaste and brush, I heard a voice at the door.

"Need help?"

When I turned around, Karter stood there with a small smile on his face. A squeal came from my lips as I dropped everything in my hands and threw myself at him. Karter laughed as he caught me and held me up, my legs around his waist with his arms under my bum to keep me from falling.

"I missed you." I whispered to him. "No leave me again ever."

"No baby, I won't leave you." Karter mumbled and cuddled into my neck. I closed my eyes loving how Karter just knows how to love me and hold me.

"Come on doll, you need to get ready for school."

"You not coming?" I looked at him, tears springing up in my eyes.

"No doll, I can't. I'm not allowed to be at school anymore because I was bad, very bad. So the headteacher has said I'm not allowed back." He replied.

"But why? Y-you always there." I cried.

"I know baby but I can't anymore. But I'll be there when you come out of school and I'll be here when you get ready in the morning. I'll take you to school and pick you up, it won't be long before you leave there and we can spend as much time together as you want." He said.

"But you won't be there." I sniffled.

"I don't know what to say baby doll. You'll have mika and Wyatt with you."

"But I want you."

"I know." Karter whispered and held me tighter so I cried into his neck. It's wasn't long until I stopped and he helped me brush my teeth so he could take me to school.

After a while, Karter parked the car outside of the school. "I'll be right here for when you leave and take you home. To make it up to you I'll take you for ice cream or we can go for a run."

"Ice cream." I whispered knowing if I spoke any louder I'd cry.

"Don't be upset baby doll. I was in the wrong which got be expelled. Just promise me if you have a problem that you'll go to Mika or Wyatt." Karter looked at me with worry.

"Promise." I smiled at him. With that, I got out of the car to see Mika and Wyatt getting out of another a couple parking spots down.

"Hi." I smiled widely and ran up to them. I jumped at Mika who caught me and hugged me tightly like I was doing to her.

"Hey, how you doing?" She asked when she put me down.

"Okay. Karter not gonna be here but I have you and Wyatt so I'm okay. And Karter take me for ice cream again." I smiled at her.

"That's good." Mika ruffled my hair.

"Where's my hug kiddo?" Wyatt opened his arms. I squealed and ran into his arms where he gave me a tight cuddle as well. But not as good as the ones Karter gives me, he gives the best hugs.

"Nova, I want you to meet someone." Mika got my attention. Wyatt placed me on the floor while I looked at my friend to see her arm wrapped around someone. Wavy brown hair looked so soft and silky, beautiful light chocolate skin with dark brown eyes that could make anyone jealous.

"This is my mate Nova." Mika started while they smiled at me.

"Hello." I waved excitedly. "Mika always talks about wanting you find you and now she has."

"Hi. I'm Miya." She smiled back at me.

"I'm Nova." I giggled.

"Come on, let's get you to class." Mika started walking while I walked behind with Wyatt.

"She's pretty." I whispered to my other friend.

"She is. But not as pretty as you." He winked at me playfully.

"Stop." I pushed him and rolled my eyes, my cheeks heating up.

When we entered the building, Mika and Wyatt was quick to take me to my class so they wouldn't be late for there's. Luckily Wyatt was with me in this class so I was able to sit with him while Mika and Miya went off to there classes.

At the end of the day, I ran from the school with Wyatt and Mika running after me. My eyes immediately landed on a smiling Karter to which I ran as fast as I could to him. As soon as I was within distance, I launched myself into his arms where we both laughed as he held me on his hip.

"How was school baby doll?" He asked with a smile.

"Bad. But I'm happy now I'm with you." I giggled.

"You don't run from us like that." Mika pulled me from Karter. At this he pulled me back and growled.

"Don't pull her like that." My best friend spat out.

"Nova you can't just run like that okay darling." Wyatt said more softly.

"You could have gotten seriously hurt. What were you thinking running into a road like that. Nova there are reckless drivers and anyone could have hit you and you'd be badly hurt. No more running off." Mika told me sternly.

"I'm sorry Mika." I whispered, tears pooling in my eyes.

"Just promise me you'll wait for someone so you don't get hurt. You're under my care and I don't want you getting injured." She sighed.

"Promise." I nodded and hugged her.

"No go and have some ice cream and have a good time with Karter. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Bye mika, bye Miya bye Wyatt." I waved to them all.

"Bye darling." Wyatt said at the same time as Miya said,

"Bye Nova."

"Be good." Mika smiled and walked off with Wyatt and her mate.

"Come on baby doll, you ready?" Karter got my attention.

I nodded with a wide smile and got into the car.

When I sat down in the drivers seat, I let out a sigh. "You okay?" Miya asked me.

"Yeah I'm okay. She just, has me worrying so much I don't know." I laughed a little.

"So Karter obsessed she doesn't think." Wyatt laughed from the back seat.

"Isn't she old enough to know though. I mean she's seventeen right?" Miya questioned.

"Yes, well no but yes. She has the body of a seventeen year old, but the mindset of a child. I'm not entirely sure how old but it's young. Nova, she's not all there. She was born a runt but her brain isn't fully developed which causes her to be like this. It's not a problem at all, I wouldn't change that girl for anything, but sometimes she's a challenge." I explained.

"Oh, I understand. There was a boy in my old pack like that, his mate looks after him so she doesn't get hurt or anything like that." My mate replied.

"Yeah, except Nova doesn't have a mate, just family. In school it's just me and Wyatt since Karter got kicked out." I shrugged.

"So Karter is the one Nova ran to?"

"Yep. If you ever have a problem with Nova, he's the best person to have around because only Karter can get her to calm down or whatever. Be good, calm down, go to bed, you know all that." Wyatt told her.

"Noted." Miya smiled. "She seems great and I like her already."

"Nova means well, but it can be trouble at times. But like I said, wouldn't change her for anything." I smiled.
