Come Back To Me

Chapter 11

"I'll see you in the morning Nova, we will be leaving very early as my pack is just a half day's car ride from here."

Nova nodded with her back against her door, "I'll meet you in the front of the house then. Eight in the morning okay?" Jared nodded and went to move in but Nova opened the door and slipped in.

Max looked up at her, "Come here."

She shook her head, "I'm sure to you I reek of him. We should shower."

Max raised an eyebrow, "We?"

"There is a chance I will die when I am with his pack, don't you want to see me naked if that happens?"

Max sat up, moved to the end of the bed and gestured for Nova to come over. Max wrapped his arms around her when she was close to him, "Nova, you are not going to die. I will be staying with Nolan while you are with Jared. Of course I want to see you naked but not like this, I want you to be one hundred percent ready."

Nova nodded and looked at her bag, "I should have brought more clothes with me."

"Nova listen to me, I put my credit card in your bag. Don't fight me on it, spend whatever you need on anything you need. Clothes, food. Anything," she nodded, "I also gave an extra EpiPen to Chase. Oh and I gave him the books. I don't want Jared to destroy them."

Nova climbed into Max's lap, he laid back with her and rolled over so they were side by side, "Nova one more thing. You can't call me while you are there. If Jared finds out he will freak. Nolan let me know that there are wolves in Jared's pack that Nolan sent there. Chase knows who they are."

Nova nodded and held on to him. Max ran his fingers through her hair as her eyes filled with tears, "What about my parents and the pack?"

"I called them before, nothing is going to happen. I won't let it."

Nova nodded and looked up at Max, "Can you kiss me? Just in case?"

Max shook his head, "No, once you are back in my arms I will not hesitate to kiss you. It will give you something to look forward to." Nova nodded and dropped her head into his chest. Max let her cry for a little bit, "Come on, don't be this sad. You are going to see me in what three weeks at most."

When Nova woke up when there was a banging on the door, she looked over at the clock and almost had a panic attack, "Max wake up!"

Max shot up and looked at the door, "Chase stop banging you are scaring Nova!" The banging stopped and Nova heard a sorry come through the door. Max untangled himself from Nova and walked over to the door letting Chase in who handed a piece of paper over to him.

Nova looked up at them confused, "What is that?" she pointed to the piece of paper and Max handed it to her.

"He wants her to confirm that he is torturing women. What if he attacks her!?"

Chase shook his head, "I am going to be with her the whole time. Nolan set up for us to have a suite at Jared's. She is not allowed to sleep in his room. Nolan is aware she won't sleep well. Nolan said we can use a sedative."

Max looked back to Nova who was scanning the paper then back to Chase, "A sedative? What if something happens in the middle of the night?"

Chase looked over at Nova, "Then I can give her something to wake her up."

"What even is this?" Nova held up the sheet of paper, "What does any of this mean?"

Max took it back from her, "It's a contract. It means that if you are hurt in anyway, Nolan will invade and kill Jared."
