“Can’t do that, Nova, you know that.”

“Just leave me alone,” I stammer. Wiping my hand furiously over my face, I hate that I can't control these damn tears. I never wanted to be here, I never wanted them, but instead I fell in love.

Not with one but four.

“I should go check on them?”I grumble.

“No Cass has it handled, he’ll bring her back,” King says.

“Are you sure about that?” I snap. King stands looking out the window again.

“She’s not coming back,” Jordy says. Fuck, he's right maybe she won't this time.

King moves toward the door, opening it with more force than necessary.

“What the fuck, Cass?” he growls.

Then Nova screams, “Put me down now, Cass. I swear to god.” Jordy and I stand behind King shaking our heads chuckling watching Cass struggle as Nova kicks and punches his back while he carries her across the yard.

He grunts when she lands a kick to his groin.

“Damn it, pup, stop,” he growls, sliding her down his body. Glaring up at him, he grips her wrists before she rips her hands away shoving him trying her best to move him.

Slamming her fists into his chest Nova screams, “I'm not something you can manhandle.”

“Pup,” Cass hisses.

“You?” she spits, turning toward King, shoving him hard as Cass walks inside.

“Princess,” King grunts, grabbing her arm and tugging her into him.

“Mamas,” I say, gaining her attention. Nova turns, her face stricken with grief and unbearable pain, knowing we caused that guts me.

We should have been up front with her about everything but fuck even I'm not sure she'd want to stay if she knew.

“I'm not a damn prisoner,” Nova retorts, glaring at King.

“No, princess, you're not, but let's not forget we're protecting you,” King says, gripping her chin between his fingers.

“Protecting me or controlling me?” she snaps.

“Baby, come on,” Jordy starts, but Nova pushes her way between us bolting upstairs the door slamming behind her.

Fuck, when will this girl see we’re doing what’s best for her?

“Watch her,” King says. Nodding because we all know how she escaped last time.

My feet stamp across the steps as I head up to Nova, entering the room right now may be a death sentence. But I’m not leaving her alone.

Lifting my hand, I go to knock but hearing a shuddering cry from the other side has me forcing the door open.

Nova lays in the middle of the bed cuddling her middle as she cries.

“G-go away.” she sniffs.

“Fuck, mamas,” I murmur, going to her and taking my place behind her, I pull her into me as I slide my arm under her head. Nova grips my arm. Placing soft kisses to her temple, my fingers move in circles down her arm, and ever so softly she pushes back into me. Intentional or not I don't move, I don't want Nova thinking everything between us is physical.

Fuck we did this, we made her fucking miserable.
