Novella tensed slightly as another wolf suddenly came into view. She had barely spent any time with her cousin and certainly didn?t recognise the male, instead all she could see was a member of Seracia now approaching her. She had no real reason to be here, and it was likely now that she would find herself in a spot of trouble. How on earth she would get out of this mess she wasn?t quite sure, all she could hope for was that they would hear her ridiculous story out and decide not to punish her.
?Novel.? The single word that spilt from the male?s lips didn?t suggest any hostility really, although his tone was far from warm. It was spoken with such certainty though that Novella was left feeling a little stunned, after all the name was almost her own, belonging to two other wolves within her family. Was it possible that this wolf knew her? The worry faded away, replaced a slight feeling of bemusement and strong sense of curiosity.
?No. I?m Novella.? No one had ever referred to her as simply Novel; that was her mother?s name after all. She was only ever called Novella or Nov although there had been instances in the past that others had mistaken her for her mother. Could it be that this strange male was now doing the same?
