When I woke up Nova was gone. Worry washed over me as the bed was cold so she has been gone for a while. I got out of bed and ran around the house looking for her. Without a sight of Nova, i burst into Theo's room. It's like she got up and just, vanished.

"Novas gone." I shouted. "Please tell me you've seen her."

"What do you mean gone?" Theo sat sleepily. "She's probably in with Mika and Miya."

"Mika went to Miya's last night, Theo. Fuck." I ran a hand through my hair worry filling me.

Before I knew what I was doing, I was going full speed to Ryan and Eli's house. Once again I checked the whole house before going to my future father in laws.

"Have you seen Nova?" I looked at them, I'm sure worry evident on my face.

"No." Ryan and Eli looked at each other then back at me.

"Is she not at home?" Eli asked.

"No. We went to bed and I woke up with her gone." I panted thinking of all the bad things that could've happened. And how the hell did I not hear or feel her get up off the bed.

Knowing she wasn't here, I ran again hearing them call after me. I ran to Arlo's house. The four men sat on the sofa with each other, Arlo lounging on Tommy.

"Is nova here?" I questioned them.

"No mate. She not at home? With Ryan and Eli?" Arlo frowned.

"No." I frowned as well, a lump forming in the back of my throat. Tears welling up thinking the worst. I've failed her. She's my beloved and I've failed to protect her. She could be dead somewhere and I wouldn't even know it.

"I have to get Karter to help me." I whispered before taking off to the cabin as fast as I could. Thankfully I got there within minutes. The scent of Nova strong letting me know she was here as well as Karter.

I ran into the bedroom to see the little wolf passed out while Karter ran his hand through her hair. She had a tight grip on his waist holding him down. "Thank god." I whispered.

"Everything okay?" Karter looked at me, his hand not stopping running his hand through Nova's hair.

"I thought." I sighed. "I thought Nova was missing. She was just gone when I woke up."

"No. I found her here when I got back from shopping." Karter sighed deeply through his nose. "She hasn't let go since."

"Have you forgiven her?" I asked sitting next to him.

"No." He replied. "I couldn't bare seeing her like that. So fucking heartbroken. I couldn't take it."

"It's a start Karter. It will take time, stuff like that can't be forgiven in minutes. Rome wasn't built in a day, was it?" I smiled softly. "It'll take time and that's okay. Just know she really is sorry and I'm sure she'll do anything to get your forgiveness."

"I know. It just hurts."

"And I understand that. I'm not making excuses but this girl has been nothing but hurt as well. She feels so guilty, nightmares almost every night, hell when she naps she has nightmares that you'll leave her. She's scared, hurt and sorry. Like I said, Rome wasn't built in a day, but we'll work on it. Together."

"Okay." Karter nodded. I smiled softly and laid down letting him lay his head on my chest. His back to my chest because when he tried to move Nova growled and tightened her arms.

"She does that every time I try to move." Karter chuckled. "I've missed her so much."

"So has she. All she wanted was you and there was so many times I was going to bring her here so you could both talk it out. But you needed your time and we both respected that. I guess she got a bit impatient." I chuckled with him.

"I'm really sorry for putting you in that position." He looked up at me.

"It's okay. Just promise to not do it again. We'll talk to Nova when she wakes up." I told him.

"Okay." Karter nodded.

After a while, Nova woke up. Her eyes opened but she didn't do anything, she just laid still. Her cheek squished on Karters chest, she didn't look at either of us, she looked blankly at the wall.

"Hungry doll?" Karter asked her in a soft voice. She shook her head.

"Do you want to sit up and talk?" I asked but got the same response.

Karter looked up at me and smirked. He leaned up and kissed me knowing it gets Nova wound up. Whenever she wakes up from a nap we always kiss her, but I guess Karter wants a little payback. And I don't think I can complain with this. I smiled and kissed his back with just as much passion. All of a sudden a scent of arousal hit me making me look up. Nova stared at us with red cheeks and darkened eyes.

"Kyra." I smirked. She smirked back letting me know it was no longer Nova. Her red cheeks going back to her natural skin colour.

"Starting without me?" The wolf whispered sexily.

"Not at all." I shrugged. "Just a little payback to Nova."

"She has been bad hasn't she?" Kyra chuckled darkly. "I think she's in need of a punishment." Just as she said that, she palmed Karters hard cock getting a small groan from him.

"I'm wet and waiting for a punishment." Kyra whispered to us before retreating to the back of Nova's mind. A frown settled on Nova's face as she once again looked at the wall.

"Do you want anything doll?" Karter asked her again. "Food? A drink?" Once again getting a shake of her head. "Good."

With that, Karter sat up making me go up with him as he kneeled next to the lying girl. A dark look on his face. Novas eyes widened as she looked up at us. I moved round Karter and kneeled the other side of her so she couldn't move anywhere.

Smirks covered both our faces as we looked down at the small wolf. "What are you gonna do?" She asked.

"You don't wanna know doll." Karter told her.
