Jax POV:
Waking up I see Nova is stirring at the same time after having dozed off on my chest, looking a
across Florence’s bed I see Theo still sat watching his sister whilst drawing
circles on the back of her hand with his thumb.
“Sorry Theo I didn’t mean to doze off” Nova whispers as she stretches slightly.
Holding her steady on my lap I stop her moving to avoid any friction in my trousers at
this inappropriate time.
With a tight smile Theo waves us off, “don’t be, I needed the time to process.
everything, plus with everything that’s gone on recently you need some rest yourself”
he assures her.
Just then a nurse comes into the room and checks Flos vitals whilst we watch her
work efficiently. After a few minutes she turns to us with relief in her eyes, “she’s making progress, I believe the drugs they administered are wearing off now and her wolf is regaining strength. I imagine it will be another 24 hours before her wolf has
the strength to help heal her wounds so for now there won’t be any change. We will
continue to sterilise them and change the dressings when necessary.”
“Thank you Nurse” Nova says politely as I echo her thanks as she bows her head and
leaves the room.
Seeing we have been here for 6 hours I turn to Theo, “would you mind if Nova and I
go to thank my uncle, we won’t be gone too long but I don’t want to be rude?” I ask quietly as Flo twitches slightly in her slumber.
“Absolutely fine Alpha, please pass on my thanks I will be sure to say it in person
when I’m comfortable leaving Flo” Theo says. “Thank you for asking” he adds on
quietly.
With a quick pat on his shoulder I open the door for Nova and I to leave. “How are you holding up?” I check with Nova as we walk towards the pack house.
“I’m relieved she’s doing better, it’s calmed my worries. But I did have a chat with Theo whilst you were asleep which has opened my eyes to some things. I’d like to

talk to you about it later” she mentions.
“Not now?” I ask.
“I need to think it through and it can wait, for now I want to thank your Uncle. What he did for us, for Flo..I am incredibly thankful for” she says with a smile.
“Ok love. Im here when you’re ready” I assure her knowing her logical mind.
As we reach the packhouse door I hear our voices being called, “Hello Axel” I say giving him a bear hug.

With a grunt he elbows me, “I know you’re my big brother but do you have to do that?” He whines like a child.
Hearing a giggle I turn to Nova, “men” she says with a roll of her eyes.
“Hello Luna, it’s lovely to see you again” Axel says giving her a quick k*ss on the cheek. earning himself a low growl for me, smirking he shrugs his shoulders. “She’s going to be my sister-in-law, chill.”
Nova tries to hide her amusement by looking up at the sky quickly before answering.” and it’s a pleasure to see you Axel, but please Nova to you is fine.”
With a grin at me he holds the door open for us and escorts us up to my uncles
office.
“He’s expecting you, go right in” Axel says as he holds the door open once again. before following us.
“Ah Jax, Luna Nova, how are you both?” My Uncles powerful voice asks as he stands.
from his desk to greet us.
“We are well considering thank you” Nova says graciously. “I’d like to personally thank you for everything you have done Alpha Henry, Flo is recovering and her Wolf is
gaining strength as we speak. Without you I dread to think what she could have
suffered.”
With a smile at Novas words Henry motions for us to sit, “we are happy to have
helped” he assures us.
“Did anyone else suffer any injuries?” I ask.

“Light scratches, nothing to worry about at all” Henry says easing my concern. He looks at me for a moment before raising a brow, “so..are you going to tell me any
more?”
Feeling Nova tense beside me I grasp her hand not missed by my uncles watchful eyes. Sighing i look at him, “I’m going to tell you something not only as an Alpha but also as family, we can tell you some..but not everything. Not yet anyway, and what wer do tell you is up to Novas discretion. What she is happy to share I am happy with and I am in no way forcing her to say more” I say sharply.
My uncle leans forward with his brows furrowed, “Jax, when have I ever pushed anything with you? You are an outstanding Alpha and Nova is your mate, I trust your judgement and also your support in her” he says firmly. Turning to face Nova he softens his gaze, “Luna, please don’t feel like I am pressurising you in anyway. I have heard rumours, the news Jax has found his mate is spreading like wildfire and of
course I’m intrigued. But, I will never force anything” he assures her making her relax.
“Thank you Alpha, I appreciate hearing that” she replies politely her voice
unwavering.
And
“Let’s just say pa wasn’t as understanding” I sigh to Henry as his eyes meet mine as silent understanding is passed between us.
“Ah” is all he says sitting back in his chair.
“Alpha Henry, we are meeting with the council this week and then we have another
issue to deal with on Friday, hopefully by the weekend we will be able to explain more
about what exactly is going on. But for now what I can say is both my father and
myself are being sought out by hunters. I was adopted when I was 3 weeks old, left
on my parents door step by my mother a human” Nova starts as she maintains
uncles gaze. “She was the daughter of hunters but was my fathers true mate, so as you can imagine her parents were not happy with what happened. They have been looking for me ever since and they are the ones who took Ga mma Flo.”
s my
“So they took your Gam ma to get your attention?” My uncles asks inquisitively having not reacted once to anything Nova had said.
“Yes” I reply, looking at Nova she nods my head for me to continue. “Her grandfather
left Nova a note on Florence’s mates b*dy after seriously injuring him. It said that if

Nova and her father went to an address they provided at the time they mentioned then Florence would be returned. An exchange as such, but the only thing would have been Nova and Kingsley would have been walking into a situation without any support, walking into something where they would have been killed.”
“This is serious Jax” my uncle acknowledges as he stands to go look out of the window. “Would it be acceptable to ask for a meeting early next week and we could discuss this further? I am more than happy to support and aid where possible, but I
would also like to know what we are walking into.”
“Of course, we can call at the end of the week and arrange it further” I reply..
“Thank you Alpha Henry” Nova chimes up from beside me gratitude clear in her
voice.
“The council, is it serious?” He asks turning his gaze back to us.
“They have helped me over the years, my life growing up was slightly different to most and i needed a little extra guidance. The last few weeks has raised some questions, some concerns and I want to delve into that a bit further before I can give you more information” Nova explains.
“I hope it goes well for you, the council are a tricky bunch” my uncle says with a
chuckle.
“Do you know much about witches uncle?” I ask quietly.
“Witches?” He asks with surprise showing on his face for the first time.
“Yes..witches. This is a different issue we have going on as well, but Nova here has e going on as well, but Nova here has been mated before to Alpha Axton of the White Mountain Pack” I start. Hearing that my uncles eyes widen as he turns to Nova quickly.
“You’re that Nova!?” He exclaims.
“Yes Sir” she murmurs.
“Oh my dear, I know Axtons parents extremely well. The things you did for that pack are simply outstanding!” He praises her making her cheeks flush in embarrassment.
“That’s lovely to hear, thank you” Nova says as I smirk at her.
“Back to the point” I continue, “he met his fated mate at a meeting Nova had
