NOT EDITED

I smile and got on my knees. I say, "Hello. What's your name?" He stares at me then starts talking. I notice he is missing his two front teeth. He says, "I'm Griffin and I'm 6 years old. Are you Lady Nova?" I nod and saying, "Yes, but you can just call me Nova." He smiles looking at me. I hear Cedric call Griffin. I turn seeing Griffin run into Cedric's arms. I walk over and Cedric says, "I see you have met my baby brother." I nod and say, "Yes, he was quite a delight to talk to." Griffin giggles covering his face. August is standing in the doorway, while he talks to a girl. I growl lowly. Cedric asks, "Nova, Would you like to join me for dinner tonight?" I turn and see Cedric's green eyes. I smile and nod. Cedric grins and says, "Wear what ever you please."

I say, "Of course." He smiles leaving. I see August still talking to that girl and I frown. I watch her body move and can tell she is flirting. I try to ignore them and walk off. I go to the room I was assigned to. I walk up the stairs and sigh missing Cian. I open my door and see Alistair kissing Kael. I yelp and slam the door shut. I breath hard and then I hear Alistair come out. He says, "Oh Nova I didn't want you to find out this way." I peek behind him and see Kael looking at the ground. I ask, "Wha....What is this?" Alistair sighs and rubs the back of his neck. Kael whimpers and walks over to him. Alistair mutters, "Well Kael and me are mates." I try swallowing the lump that was forming in my throat. Now I'm not homophobic, but I always find myself freaked out when I learn something not wasn't obvious. I say, "Oh well, That's great. You guys are cute." Kael smiles and Alistair stares lovingly at him. I grin and feel the warmth in my heart. Alistair says, "Please don't tell anyone. We have been hiding this for 3 years. I don't want Commander Hess thinking low of us." I nod and hug them. I giggle saying, "Just don't make out in my room again. Please." They laugh and nod. I watch the leave. I close my door and I feel kinda bad. They can't be together because they were scared. They were so scared that they had to hide it for 3 YEARS!! I wish they didn't have to, but I can''t make them tell someone. I jump on my bed and close my eyes. "Alma, why am I feeling like this?" I ask. Alma sighs and says, "Oh Nova. I'm a wolf not a therapist." I huff and growl. She snickers and says, "Fine. Your feeling this way because well I want a mate and you do to." I sigh knowing she was right. I wish I had a mate to cuddle with. To kiss to do naughty things to. I purr thinking about it till I heard a bang on my door. I yelp and feel my heart beat out of control. I recover from the scare and open my door. August stands their with anger in his eyes.

I asks, "August, what's wrong? Did something happen with the patrol?" He storms in and sits on my bed. He messes with with his hair and I feel my heart pick up again. He finally says, "Your going on a date with Cedric." I nod saying, "Yes, he invited me and I thought I would be nice since we were going to be here for awhile." August stares into my blue eyes. I purr lowly, but cover it up with a cough. August asks, "Don't you realize?" I furrow my eyebrows and say, "No. Am I suppose to?" August gets up and growls saying, "Your not 18 yet are you?" I nod and Alma whimpers when August growls lowly.
He comes up to my face and says, "When you turn 18. You'll find out. Until then don't come near me. I can't stand it." He storms out and slams my door. A picture on the walls falls and glass goes everywhere. I whimper and tears fill my eyes in seconds. Alma howls in pain. I wipe the tears off falling down my cheeks, but it was to late. They were coming down like hard rain. Why did he do that? Did I do something? Does he hate me? As the questions kept rolling in my head tears spilled harder and harder. I walked to my bed. I climb onto the bed and gripped a stuffed phoenix August had gotten for me.

~Flash back~

I groan as we break for another bathroom break. We were about 2 hours away from the pack and we had been in this darn car for 4 hours. August smirks at me and says, "Come on Nova they have a mythical creatures museum." I squeal with delight and scramble out of the car. August walks me to the place and pays for are tickets even know I told him I would pay. We walk through the museum and I smile when we get to my favorite section. The Phoenix. I have always loved learning about this bird. Warriors used to have them for scouting out enemies. Now seeing one was rare. Only the most brave and courageous could have this bird. I watch as August chuckles at my childish fantasies. I stick out my tongue and read some stories written on the wall. When we finish the museum I was so happy. We went back to the car and August sad he had to run to the restroom. When he returned and everyone was ready to go he turned to me with a smirk. I giggle saying, "What are you smirking about?" He throws me a bag and I raise an eyebrow at him. He says, "Just open it. It won't kill you princess." I roll my eyes and open it. It was a Phoenix. Not a real one sadly. It was a stuffed animal. He says, "For the bravest girl." I smile and hug the animal.
