The Alpha’s Dark Revenge

Liyah’s POV

“Okay, that should be enough for today. Well done, Liyah, I really didn’t expect you to grasp all of this so quickly,” Nikolai grinned as we rounded up today’s lesson, pulling me forward to plant a kiss to my forehead. As expected, I melted into a puddle.

“Thank you,” I muttered, looking down at my feet. Sometimes I suddenly became an idiot around him and I forgot how to form words. He had that effect on me. Every single time.

“You’re doing great,” He grinned, pulling me forward for a kiss which ended way too soon. He had a meeting he had to run off to. But I didn’t mind. The fact that he was this impressed with my progress was enough to take me through the day.

I could hear and smell basically everything within a thirty metre radius from where I was standing. At first it was frustrating as I could smell so many different things at a time it was distracting, but Nikolai had taught me how to channel it to a particular source at a time and now I had totally mastered my senses.

He had also trained me on how to use my speed and strength to my advantage, and he was very pleased with the progress I was making. I was still in awe of everything that I hadn’t had time to be impressed with myself. Walking felt like running now. It was so strange how I could easily glide from one place to the other. It was amazing. I felt healthier, happier, stronger, faster and more confident. I felt like I could do anything… achieve anything. And that I no longer had to be scared of anything. I had never felt that way before. And honestly, I was loving it.

But the best part was transformation. We started lessons last week and we just wrapped up right now. At first it was all so foreign; shifting back and forth. The most frustrating part was the clothes ripping. Although that was Nikolai’s favorite part of training. And mine too, admittedly.

I blushed as I remembered all the lessons turned lovemaking that had gone on in the past week. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to ruining my clothes myself but it was all part of the process.

After training, I decided to freshen up before joining Nikolai for lunch. He would take a while because he still had to round up his meeting first. A cold bath would do me a world of good right now. I quickly stripped and got into the shower.

‘I think it’s about time we met.’ I suddenly heard a female voice say. Surprised, I stopped the running water and listened.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Nothing.

Nikolai was in his study and apart from him I was sure there was no one else in the room. Waiting for a few more seconds and not hearing anything, I reached out to turn the tap back on when I remembered something.

Was it my inner wolf? Nikolai had mentioned an inner wolf.

‘That’s about right,’ Came the same voice.

I grimaced. Nikolai had said something about my wolf speaking to me but he never said it would sound so real. It sounded like someone was standing right next to me. It felt strange talking to a voice in my head.

“Umm… This is a bit new to me, I’m Liyah. What’s your name?” I finally managed to blurt out.

‘I don’t have one. I’m supposed to be a voice only you can hear remember? You were supposed to name me when we turned eighteen, but I was muted for so long you went on without me. So here we are,’ She or It blurted.

All this was still very new to me. I wasn’t sure what to say. What she said about being muted for so long… if anyone could relate to that, it was me.

“I’m sorry you were silent for so long,” I apologized, not knowing what else to say.

‘It’s okay. I’ve been silent for so long, it feels weird talking again. I’ve always been here though, watching. Everything.’ She said with what sounded like mischief.

I smiled, having a feeling that we would get along quite well.

“Well that’s not creepy,” I laughed. “So what should I name you now?”

‘Your choice, just nothing too cliché, if you know what I mean.’

I began to wrack my brain for all the nice names that I knew. But none of them seemed suitable enough. “How about Natasha?”

‘What? No!’ She groaned. I grimaced. She was actually laughing. This wasn’t as bad as I thought. It felt like talking to a real person. The only difference was that they were in your head.

‘Just call a list of maybe four or five, I’ll pick the least embarrassing.’

I was actually laughing, alone in the bathroom, chatting with my wolf. I did not see this coming. But I wasn’t complaining.

“Ok then, Emma, Charlotte, Sophia, Olivia, Sharon, Mia..”

When she didn’t reply, I continued. She must really hate those names. “Eva, Cora, Nova, Lucy, Gia…”

‘Nova. Nova would do just fine. It’s nice and short. I like it.’

“Alright Mia, can I please have a shower now?” I begged as my stomach rumbled in hunger. I was excited to talk more with Nova and have her explain more about how this whole thing worked. But I needed to eat.

‘Don’t we all? Food is life after all.’

As I parted my lips in surprise, she laughed again. ‘Yes I can hear your thoughts too, Liyah. Well, have a nice shower. I’ll pop once in a while so you should expect me.’

Once I nodded, the voice disappeared. I bit my lip to keep from screaming. I had a wolf named Nova, and so far she seemed pretty cool. I was a she-wolf… a real one. The wolf inside of me had proved that today. Overwhelmed, I quietly sobbed in the shower, letting my tears get lost in the water as I scrubbed myself.

I had never been happier.
