Chapter 36

Jaxs Family
Nova POV:
“You ready for this?” I hear Alice ask me as I finish putting on my slick of lip gloss. Stepping back I look at myself in the mirror, I have to admit Alice knows how to dress me for any event. Wearing a flowing sage green summer dress that ends at my knees fitting snugly around my breasts and waist I look perfect for a pack BBQ, with my heeled wedges accentuating my toned legs I smile happily to myself.
“Dressed like this I am” I wink at Alice before turning and giving her a big hug, “thank you for organising this Alice.”
“You look gorgeous” she compliments stepping back and looking at her handy work.
“As do you” I grin back at her, Alice is dressed in a long maxi dress with some heels
giving her small frame a little extra height.
“Yes well I thought I’d make the most of this dress before my belly is too swollen to fit anything” she chuckles.
Linking my arm through hers I rest my head on her shoulder, “I can’t believe you’re
going to be a mum. It’s amazing news.”
Seeing Alice smile softly as her hand rests gently on her belly I can’t stop the sense of
longing that pangs in my heart. “We will have pups one day Nova, we are still young”
Ki murmurs to me.
I
“I can’t wait for that day, but I also know now isn’t our time” I confide to Kia, “I’m more
than happy being an Aunty for now.”
Walking downstairs I can hear the music from the back lawn and lots of excited
chatter, “will you be here soon?” Jax links me anxiously.
As we leave the back door my eyes scan over the crowd before focusing on Jaxs
muscular frame standing with Luca and some warriors chatting animatedly, the
afternoon sun glinting off of his tanned skin and adding a shine to his dark hair. “I’m
behind you” I link him giggling.
With that he stops talking and spins round, his eyes searching for mine before he
spots me and a large grin spreads across his face as he makes his way swiftly to me.

As he gets closer I see his eyes briefly glance over my figure as they darken slightly. “you look gorgeous” he murmurs in my ear dropping a k*ss on my cheek as he says.
SO.

Blushing I smile up at him as I rest a hand on his firm chest, “you don’t look too bad yourself” I reply playfully.
“I know” he smirks back confidently.
“Shhh calm down Alpha ego” I laugh at him lightly tapping his arm making his chest. rumble with a deep chuckle.
“Come let’s go see Luca, he’s been waiting for you” he says quietly as he leads me towards my brother.
“Nova!” Luca exclaims happily as I reach him, “you’re finally here” he laughs giddily.
“Eh oh, has someone been drinking” I giggle at him as I take in his slightly unfocused
eyes. He simply smirks at me whilst shrugging his shoulders, “you know me Nova, I won’t get wasted don’t worry. But I certainly plan on enjoying your birthday and my
time off.”
“I wouldn’t want if any other way..where’s my drink?” I am raising an eyebrow at him.
expectantly.
“Coming right up” he smirks before turning to walk away. He pauses mid stride before

spinning back round and running to twirl me round happily, “I forgot to say
congratulations sister..you will make an amazing Luna. I’m very happy for you both.”
Setting me down he steps back to look at my new mark with a happy gleam in his
eyes.
“Thank you Luca” I whisper trying to hide the emotion in my voice. Seeing an emotion
flit across his face which I’m not used to seeing I grasp his arm and step to one side.
with him.
“You ok?” I ask quietly.
He looks down at me and nods slowly with a little smile on his face, “I am truly happy for
you Nova. But I’m not going to lie, I’ve enjoyed having my sister around the last
few years.”
H
Looking at him steadily I raise a brow knowing there is more to it. He sighs lightly

before continuing, “where’s my mate?” He asks quietly almost to himself.
Hearing those words my eyes soften, “your mate is coming Luca. I know you have been waiting a long time but I also know you are going to be perfect for her as she will be for you. It will be worth the wait.” I say hoping to comfort him.
After a moments quiet he shakes his head, “enough about me. It’s not everyday my sister turns 25 and finds her mate becoming a Luna, let’s celebrate!”
Grinning at him as he jogs over to get me a drink I step back beside Jax. “Everything ok?” He links me whilst smiling at Naomi and Laurence who have just joined us.
“Yes, he’s been waiting 10 years for his mate. He’s happy for us, but it must be hard watching those close to you meet their fated mates whilst you’re still waiting” I reply.
“It is hard, but it will be worth it” Jax comforts me.
“That’s what I told him” I say before continuing, “he’s ok don’t worry.”
Nodding his head slightly to show he understands he turns his attention back to the
group, ‘so how’s the birthday Luna?” Laurence asks smiling.
“Good thank you Laurence, this looks beautiful” I gesture around the garden. Seeing
all the lights twi nkling above I can imagine how gorgeous it’s going to look once the
sun has set.
Seeing the men’s chests puff out in pride Naomi and i snigger quietly, “of course it
does. We did it” Laurence beams with pride.
“Men’s ego honestly” i mutter playfully rolling my eyes at Naomi.
Sensing Jaxs attention elsewhere I look up at him inquisitively, with a smile he looks down at me as he lowers his mouth to talk in my ear, “my family have arrived. Ready for introductions?” He murmurs huskily sending a shiver down my spine. Stepping back I straighten myself whilst sending him a small glare as he smirks knowing the
effect he has on me.
“I’m ready” I say confidently as he holds his arm out for me to grasp. Walking towards the drinks table I see an older couple with the air of authority surrounding them as well as two men who look similar to Jax but are slightly smaller in their build next to
a tall leggy blonde who is openly admiring the warriors bringing in the food for the
BBQ.

“Hello Ma, Pa..everyone” Jax starts with a smile as we reach them. Td like you all to
meet Nova, my mate.”
“Hello, it’s a pleasure to meet you all I say graciously looking at them all clearly.
“You are stunning my dear he mum says as she steps forwards clasping my hands in
hers, ‘welcome to the family. I’m Amelia, Jaxs mother.”
“Its lovely to meet you, I can see where Jax gets his warmth from I note as she embraces me in a loving hug. Stepping back I see the smile stretching across her face at my words, “thank you Nova.”
“Don’t go telling everyone I can be like that Nova, I have my Alpha image to maintain”
Jax laughs from beside me.
Looking up at him I c**k an eyebrow before replying, “well maybe it will knock your
alpha ego down a couple of notches, goddess knows it seems you men need it..do I
need to get Naomi over to back me up?”
He breaks out in loud laughter as his eyes crinkle, “fair enough, you got me there.”
“I know” I wink at him before turning back to his families amused faces.
“Hello Nova, I’m David his father” his father says stepping up and grasping my hand in
his for a from handshake. As I look in his eyes I see a slight coldness emitting from
them making me furrow my brows slightly before I smooth my expression out and
maintain eye contact with him.
“It’s a pleasure Sir” i murmur quietly. He steps back for a moment looking at me with
an unreadable expression.
Hearing a throat being cleared from my right I look away from David to see his sister
practically bouncing on the spot, “hello you must be his sister” I giggle softly stepping
towards her.
“Hello” she exclaims before drawing me in for a tight hug, “I’m Mila, I am so excited to
meet you. It’s about time one of these found their mates, honestly the amount of
testosterone can be over bearing at times. I can’t wait to spend time with you.” She fires off excitedly making Jax step forward and grasp her arm gently.
“Calm down Mila” he says gently.

“Don’t be silly Jax, it’s lovely to meet you Mila. I’m looking forwards to spending some time with you” I assure her graciously. Seeing the smug look she throws Jaxs way I chuckle before looking to his brothers.
“Hello Nova, we are Axel and Evan, his twin brothers” they announce simultaneously.
Chuckling I step forward and shake both their hands, “ah another set of twins who speak in tangent” I grin at Jax. “It’s a pleasure to meet you both.”
“Strong shake” Axel comment’s approvingly glancing down at where our hands met a
moment ago.
I simply smile at the comment before stepping back into Jaxs side.
“So Nova, I hear you were mated previously?” David asks looking at me pointedly.
“Father..” Jax starts stepping forward before i clasp his arm shaking my head slightly indicating I can handle this.
