Chapter 86


    Caroline


    Nova POV:


    “Athena..its interesting really. A name representing strength, wisdom and courage, one that symbolises


    power, I wonder if it will be fitting of you in the war toe” Caroline muses continuing to stare at me.


    “I find it fitting” Iugh lightly hiding my inner caution, “it also represents justice, inspiration and skill. I’d


    say my parents made a fabulous choice when ites to my


    name. Even more interesting is the name I go by and have also known to be mine my


    entire life.”


    “And what’s that?” Caroline asks with an arched brow.


    “Nova” I say clearly as her eyes widen before she nods.


    “Ah..derived from the word “novus” if I remember correctly” she muses. “New.”


    “Yes” I say with a smile in memory of my adopted parents choice, “also a name given


    to bright stars. But after the start I had to life I find it perfect.”


    Hearing those words her eyes narrow slightly as her lips thin, “oh Caroline, you think I


    don’t know you’ve been after me since I was a baby? That the reason for me growing up without


    parents was because of some twisted logic of my grandparents wanting to kill their own daughter and


    granddaughter?”


    “We have never hid it” she says after a moments quiet.


    No..but I wonder what changed?” I ask.


    “With what?” She says.


    “How did you go from wanting to kill me to then being happy to keep track of me over the years until my


    25th?” I ask making her eyes widen again.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    “Surprised I know that?” I ask with a chuckle. “You’ve missed quite a lot since your little..sleep. I can


    see the questions in your eyes. We know of the spies you have, they’ve been dealt with.”


    “You don’t know what you’re talking about child” she says her voice suddenly higher pitched and


    slightly breathless.


    Caroline


    you fell


    “We know Frost orchestrated the attack at the White Mountain Pack where unconscious and Nova here


    took you” Jax says as hees to stand beside me radiating power. “He admitted to his involvement


    and the active role he took in killing Novas adoptive mother.”


    “And where is that treacherous old fool now?” Caroline sneers.


    “Dead” I state simply as i pick at my nails casually, “I ripped his heart out just like he did with my


    mother.”


    “You monster” Caroline hisses her face turning red in anger.


    “Maybe so” Jax says with a shrug before his eyes darken and his fangs elongate as a snarl rips from


    him. “But we would never kill innocents so let me ask you who the real


    monsters are?”


    “You anomalies are not innocents” Caroline says.


    “Anomalies? I think there are far too many of us to be called that, we are a poption just like humans”


    Jax says with a c****d head.


    “You shouldn’t exist” Caroline sneers.


    “But we do” I interrupt sharply. “I have caused no harm to one’s that don’t deserve it


    throughout my life, I have worked to better people’s lives and bring good to the world. Why do you want


    to rid me of that?”


    “You’re an animal just like the rest of them” Caroline states coldly, “Lizzie failed to


    remember that and look where it got her.”


    “She found a loving mate, had a beautiful daughter and then had her world ripped apart by her


    parents..you mean that?” Jax asks with disbelief.


    “She should never have fallen for that man, I don’t know what he did to get her to cast aside all she


    knew and believed in” Caroline says. “Your father, Kingsley, wove himself into her head and twisted her


    beliefs to make her betray us. Hes a monster Athena, one which needs eradicating from this world, just


    like you.”


    “But that’s what you think isn’t it, that my father and I are the key to the downfall of the werewolves” I


    say making her eyes flicker to me in surprise. “Have I shocked you


    again?”


    “Wolves should not exist amongst us” Caroline sneers at me, “they bring disorder to the world and


    offset the bnce of nature”


    Hearing that Jax snorts with coldughter, “how wrong you aredy. We live amongst nature, we are


    more intune with the nature of this world than you are. You say we bring disorder when I personally


    have boosted the financial state of many humans in their business world, we have never harmed


    humans unless they were hunters. We don’t howl our secrets to the world we even protect unknowing


    humans from other threats to their lives. So exin to me why we bring disorder to the world?”


    Hearing that Caroline looks at him in shock at his little speech. “I grew up as a hunter, saw the damage


    wolves can cause and it’s in wrong. You kill ruthlessly, you take pleasure in pain and you revel in


    confrontation.”


    “You saw wolves growing up who were attacking to protect themselves” I snarl. “I would die to protect


    those I love. Unlike you and others just like you, you’re selfish whilst we are selfless.”


    Hearing those words Caroline looks at me with a cold glint in her eyes, “would you?”


    “Yes” I growl.


    “Even your mother?” She says leaning forward eagerly.


    “Funny you mention my mother Caroline, we know she’s alive. We know you have her” I say calmly


    watching her reaction.


    She pauses for a moment before leaning back in her hospital bed and crossing her. arms. “If you know


    then why are you here?”


    “Because we need you to tell us where she is” Jax growls as he steps beside the bed and res down


    at her, his towering form imposing and threatening with the cold


    aura he is giving off,


    She looks up at him and chuckles quietly, “you won’t intimidate me young man.”


    “No..maybe not” Iugh as I walk up to her other side and lean over to re at her nose to nose. “But if


    you ever want to see your dear Charles again it would be in your


    best interest to tell us.”


    “Charles?” She whispers as the scent of fear suddenly begins to emit from her.


    O


    Caroline


    “He’s abandoned you Caroline, not once has hee looking for you” I chuckle standing back as I see


    hurt fill her eyes. “Your beloved clearly does not care for you.” “He wouldn’t abandon me” she whispers


    doubtcing her tone.


    “Yet here you are..20 months after your attack and Charles no where in sight, his informants are dead.


    His time ising Caroline and you won’t be by his side” I say coldly. “So you tell me what you know


    about my mother or you won’t like what’sing your way.”


    “Is that a threat?” She asks bravely.


    Sniggering I extend a w out and lightly trace it over the thin skin on her neck drawing beads of blood,


    hearing her heart rate spi ke I see her pupils dte in fear. “It’s a promise” I growl my eyes bright with


    Kia as our voices join.


    “I don’t know if you would want to see your mother again child” she finally spits out. “Whys that?” I ask


    c*****g my head as my eyes narrow.


    “Because she isn’t who you think she is, you think she is going to wee you with open arms and


    love you? She won’t” she sneers.


    “And again..we ask why?” Jax says coldly.


    “Because she thinks you’re monsters also, she’s our greatest weapon” Caroline says: with a cold


    from thedy your father left behind than you can possibly imagine.”


    “Where is she?” I growl loudly.


    “I won’t tell you where” she sneers, “but she’ll find you. They’ve known where I am this entire time and


    when she does find you..well I hope I’m around to watch it unfold.”


    Hearing those words I pause as I watch her absentmindedly rub her arm. “Tracker” Kia growls before I


    lunge forward and grasp her arm, slicing it deeply and grasping. the small device lodged in her muscle.


    “AHHHHH” she screams in pain as I twirl to Jax in shock holding the tracker as it dangles off of my


    w.


    Caroline


    “How was this missed?” I ask.


    “It never showed in any scans” he says with confusion. “But it does exin the note better.”


    “It was designed that way” Caroline pants as she desperately tries to stop the blood from falling. “We


    are always one step ahead of you, I haven’t been abandoned..I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be


    and your mother, she’s our perfect weapon.”


    “b***h” I snarl as I sh my fangs at her.


    “We can work with this Nova” I see Jax say confidently, “they won’t get away with it.” “Oh how wrong


    you are dear boy” Carolineughs coldly.


    “GUARDS” I shout loudly making her eyes sh to me in a panic. Two mene into the room, their


    pure muscle andrge forms making Caroline press herself into her bed making herself smaller.


    Ripping her IV drip out I throw it away before gesturing to her, “take her to the cells” I snarl.
