Hearing a knock on the door I sent my father and sister so I stand up and walk over opening it quietly

Looking at Sophie I see the fresh mark on her neck and bite back an excited squeal that is threatening to escape wouldn’t be very Luna like of you” Ria sniggers to me.
“Congratulations” I wink as I hold her hair to the side and look at her mark, “It’s
gorgeous” Lcompliment making her blush slightly
“Thank you Nova” she says more confidently than when she has previously spoken.
“Come in we are just running over a few things” I say an hold the door for them

As Jax looks up he smiles and says his greetings before instructing them to sit.
“Can we just run over a few things we forgot to ask yesterday Sophie?” He asks.
“Yes of course” she says immediately as she speaks clearly and shows no nerves. Ast she speaks Luca goes to sit on the arm of the sofa next to her and offers her a reassuring smile which she returns.
“Ok getting right to it we wondered if Hannah knew who you were before starting at the college. Do you know it it was a coincidence or if it was planned?” Jax asks.
“To be honest I don’t know for sure, I have a feeling it was a coincidence but then I
think she definitely pushed for us to become friends after originally meeting” she
says thoughtfully.
Confirmation
“If that’s the case then maybe it’s your birth mark Soph my dad says speaking up.
“Birth mark?” I ask.
“Oh umm..I have a birthmark on my shoulder, here I’ll show you” she says standing up. As she does she turns and Luca slightly shifts her top revealing a dark birthmark in the shape of a heart with a dot to the right of it. “It’s pretty unique huh” she says with a little embarrassed laugh.
“It is” I agree. “That makes sense, I mean I don’t know anyone else with a birth mark

like it.”
“Ok, that’s a strong possibility then” Jax says with a nod. “Next question is did they know anything about your father, anything at all?”
With a grimace she looks at my dad who offers a reassuring nod with a sad smile on his face, “they don’t know anything about him as such. I never told Hannah where he lived, what he looked like, anything like that. But I did turn to Hannah at times when I was struggling. At one point dad and I we..we fought a lot she admits. “I struggled when my wolf never showed and I lashed out, it was one of the reasons for wanting to attend a human college. I was home schooled so it was a big change but I took my wolf not showing as I didn’t belong amongst wolves.”
With that Luca offers a small growl as his eyes flash making her squeeze his hand reassuringly, “I know it’s silly, I clearly do” she says gesturing around and then at her. neck. “But being a teenager I was emotional and I lashed out. I struggled moving from place to place so yes at times I did complain about it. But I never went into any
detail that would give dad away”
“Ok, how did they never find out where you lived when you travelled home?” Jax asks
curiously.
With a chuckle she points at my dad, “dad was very cautious. I had to take different routes and swap with people who wore my clothes to bear my scent, it was a bit crazy actually the amount of precautions I took but I appreciate that now more than ever. We barely used technology, it was only the last few years that we did because
we were desperate to try and find Nova. But even then we were extremely cautious.”
“Have you looked through Hannah’s phone?” Jax asks.

Confemation
“I did briefly but not in detail. I didn’t want to waste too much time and I had to act
quickly she admits.
“It was good thinking on your part honestly, you should be proud” Jax says.
With a sigh he stands up. “I’m sorry to do this and I know people aren’t going to like it.
But do you mind me Alpha commanding you, just a few questions?”
With that growls erupt from both Luca and my dad as I look at Jax in slight surprise. I get his reasoning but I am surprised he hasn’t mentioned it before. As if reading my mind he throws me a slightly guilty look, “sorry love I didn’t want to upset you” he links
me.
“You haven’t, I know why you’re doing it I reply back quickly.
“Luca, dad..calm down’ Sophie stays standing up. “Yes Alpha Jax, I am happy to be Alpha commanded, I want to help reassure people as I know my absence was.
worrying for some” she says calmly.
“Thank you Sophie” he says in relief at her willingness before emitting his Alpha aural
to get her to bow her neck in submission.
“Sophie did you have any prior knowledge or contact with the hunters?” He asks hist deep voice vibrating around the room.
“No Alpha, I met Hannah at college and I had no knowledge of her being a hunter until yesterday. I have met hunters before with dad but we always escaped, other than those times I have never met hunters to my knowledge” she tells us. Hearing that knowledge my eyes widen as I look to my dad.
“We still have a lot to tell you about our past Nova” he says softly, “but right now it can
wait.”
“Sophie do you have any reason different to what you explained yesterday for disappearing?” Jax asks.
“No Alpha, I didn’t want to hurt Luca or anyone else and I thought that getting rid of Hannah would show my sincerity in not knowing what she was. I knew people would make an assumption and jump to conclusions, I wanted to prove them wrong when I had chance” she says clearly.
“Ok Sophie, finally, did you know the hunters were aware of Nova being alive and
曲
watching her before yesterday?” He asks calmly despite his nervousness suddenly
showing through the bond
“No” she says looking in his eyes, “I had no idea. I was desperate to meet my sister, so
the day father came home and told me he’d found her I was over the moon I knew
only when looking at Hannah’s phone yesterday that they knew of her. If you look at
her conversation with a contact called “Charles” it shows that he spoke to a council
elder only 4 days ago about Novas birthday plans and that a meeting would be called
in due course” When she says the name Charles my dad growls menacingly, “your
[***** grandfather” he says as his grip on his chair lightens whilst his eyes flash.
As lax retracts his aura he smiles at her in relief, “Thank you Sophie. I’m sorry I had to
do that”
“It’s fine Alpha Jax” she says bowing her head, “anything to help”
“Axel have you finished looking through Hannah’s phone? Jax asks suddenly turning.
