Nova POV:
As I sit for lunch I concentrate of the feeling of calm and love that Jax is sending me through the bond to help settle my anger.
“I’d like you to accompany me to my office after lunch Alpha Jax and Luna Nova, we have lots to discuss” Martin says calmly as he eats his food ignoring the subtle shocked looks the others are throwing towards me.
“We will be there” Jax says before looking at me, “we would also like to have at meeting with Elder Johnathon this afternoon if it is possible?”
“I will have to check” Martin says before looking down the table towards the man who is smiling reassuringly at me.
“I have all the time in the world for Nova as you know. Why don’t you link me when you are done with Elder Martin and you can come to my private library” he says politely.
“Thank you Johnathon” I say softly smiling slightly at the one person who is showing me some friendliness.
With a nod of his head he returns to eating his food in silence. As we all finish Axton raises from his seat and motions for Luca to join him, “if you could excuse us my Betal and I have lots to discuss. We will see you this evening” he says before smiling at Jax and myself and swiftly walking from the room.
As the other elders filter out we are left with just Martin and ourselves. “That was tense” he chuckles looking at me in amusement.
“Sorry” I apologise, “but I’m not going to stand by and let others think I am someone who can be walked over any longer.”
“And you shouldn’t have to” he says seriously, “let’s go to my office. These walls have
ears.”
“Your strength is admirable Nova” Martin comments as we walk up to his office, looking at Jax he grins, “I suppose with a mate like him you have to be something special.”

“A mate like me?” Jax asks confused.
“Your leadership is something that others should learn from. Do you have any idea. how well you do as an Alpha?” Martin asks nonchalantly.
Seeing an Alpha lost for words has me chuckling as I wink at my mate. “Well not
anyone is mated to someone like Nova Alpha Jax, I’d do well to remember that, it
takes someone with a certain strength to be a Guardian Wolfs other half.”

“Oh..thank you Elder Martin” Jax says graciously, his deep voice making me shiver as his hand touches my lower back.
“In here” Martin says opening the door and ushering us in. “Take a seat.”
Sitting ourselves down we wait for him to speak as he quickly shuffles through some
documents on his desk.
“Ok, so Anthony joined us 23 months ago. He used to reside in the Red Moon Pack”
he starts.
“The Red Moon Pack? When? Surely not whilst I was there” I say.
“No he was there for 3 years, he joined shortly after you left as his mother had fallen. ill and was residing there. His mother was the old pack doctor” he says making my eyes widen in shock.
“The lady who helped start me with my medicinal studies?” I ask in surprise.
“Valeria yes. She unfortunately passed away not long after he joined. A heart attack. of all things” he says quietly.
“I doubt that” I say furrowing my brows. “I mean a heart attack of natural causes is incredibly rare within werewolves, even ones who are ill
“I have had her information brought here as I thought you may say that after todays events, take them with you and have a look before we confront Anthony” he says. passing me a small brown folder.
“I will” I say holding it tight in my grasp.
“Why was Anthony called up to be an Elder?” Jax asks suddenly.
“He was taking after his father, his academic success was incredibly high and he had

many recommendations. I’m surprised to be honest that he has done what he has” Martin says with a frown.
“Just because he is a traitor doesn’t mean that he is one by choice” Jax points out.
“So fill me in on what’s been happening” Martin says looking at us both clearly.
With a sigh I study his eyes closely, not seeing any deception I hesitate before asking “this may seem unusual but after we have told you the information we have it will make sense. I’d like to command you to ensure I can trust you” I say sitting forward as
he looks at me shocked.
“It’s not a question is it Nova” he says with a sad smile.
“No” I say shaking my head, “I can’t risk anything right now and although I know of everything you personally have done to help me I have to make sure I’m protecting
those I love.”
“I understand” he says with a nod and a reassuring smile, “go ahead.”
Releasing my full aura has him crippling in his chair and his neck tilts submitting to me fully, “can I trust you, Elder Martin, to not betray me or those that I love? To never speak of any information I tell you? And finally have you ever betrayed me or worked alongside the hunters?”
“I have never worked with the hunters, they are my sworn enemy ever since losing my daughter to them when she was just a year old. For the past 55 years I have worked. tirelessly to bring them down. I will never betray you and I would do anything to help you succeed” he answers clearly.
“Thank you” I say retracting my aura as I release the breath I was holding.
“Help Nova succeed?” Jax asks intrigued.
“Novas life has been dedicated to others, it’s about time she does what she needs to
do for herself and for that to happen she needs my support” he says with a smile.
“So will you tell me?” He asks looking between us both. Seeing Jax nod in agreement I take a deep breath and explain everything that has happened since Axtons betrayal right up until the event before lunch which he saw through my eyes.
Blowing a large breath out through his gritted teeth his eyes flare in anger as he

stares in me in shock.
“We have 2 more traitors?” He hisses in fury as his eyes burn bright, his wolf moving
