[Nova and Makani]Theres no other choice

Nova was a mess since the incident with her father. He’d hurt her, hurt her in a way that she had never expected someone in her family to ever do to her. She rarely left Dae’s side now… she was terrified of running into another male. A male who wasn’t gentle… a male who would hurt her just as bad or worse than her father had. Nova was currently curled up in their den, unsure if Daemon knew she was still there or not. Sometimes she rarely wanted to leave it if he wasn’t by her side, procrastinating even getting a drink of water. Her mind was still in a bad way, and she whimpered at the slightest sound outside of it.

The female slowly eased out of the den as she heard Daemon’s howl, her body lowered to the ground, submissive, her red eyes worried. She had been so scared he’d have been mad at her for what happened… that he wouldn’t love her anymore. But he’d kept her closer than ever, and Nova grew even more clingy than before. The pale female nuzzled into him, closing her eyes as she took in his scent. That scent meant safety. Protection.

“I’m sorry…” Nova apologized a lot more too, finding disgust at her own fear and weakness. But to be fair she wasn’t sure how to process what had happened to her… and the knowledge that the same sort of fate had befallen her mother made her feel ill. Was she just a step away from snapping, like Marina had? Would she lose it all, and repeat the cycle once more, leaving behind kids that wouldn’t know the love of their mother the way they should?
