Nova POV:
Waking up to a new day I reach for Jaxs b*dy only to feel his side of the bed cold like.
he hadn’t been there for a while. Wondering what time it is I roll over moaning as my
stiff b*dy stretches, seeing 8:30am on the clock I stifle a yawn and slowly sit up.
“Where are you?” I link Jax as I make my way to the bathroom.
“Morning love, in the office” he replies instantly, “I couldn’t sleep and you looked so
peaceful i thought I’d come and get some work done.”
“Have you had breakfast?” I ask him.
“No not yet, just coffee” he says.
“Meet me at the landing of your floor, we can go eat together. Give me 10 minutes” I say not giving him room to budge.
“You sure you’re up for it?” He asks.
Rolling my eyes as I brush my teeth I reply, “yes. I slept most of yesterday away and
then 10 hours last night. Now all I want is food.”
Hearing his laugh down the mindlink I smirk knowing he’s not going to argue with that. Throwing some training leggings, a sports bra and tank top on I find my trainers before quickly re doing my messy bun.
I wonder if they found any traces of listening devices I think to myself as I head downstairs. Reaching the landing I lean on the wall as I wait for Jax taking in my surroundings. Looking at a large photo of Jax and his family that is hung in the centre of the wall I feel my heart clench momentarily as I think of how David could possibly
have betrayed them.
“I hope he hasn’t” Kia says to me quietly, “Zeus will be heartbroken.”
“It’s bothering them a lot more than they’re letting on” I say to her. “Struggling to sleep
beside your mate shows there is a lot on your mind.”
With that I hear the office door opening and Jax steps out, his bright green eyes find.

my face.

“I’m fine love” I chuckle as he smiles sheepishly. “But it’s nice of you to worry” I say.
reaching up and k*ssing his lips softly. Feeling the mate sparks I moan as I melt into
his b*dy, his hand automatically finding the back of my head and pulling me closer
deepening our k*ss as he does so.

“Morning” he breaths pulling away as I giggle against his lips before pecking them
once again.
“Morning” I breath happy to see him. Stepping back 1 look at him carefully and see the
circles under his eyes showing the lack of sleep as well as the tightness of his
features hinting at stress. “You’re not ok.”
Raising his brow at me he chuckles deeply, “that wasn’t a question” he says.
“No it wasn’t” I confirm. “I’m worried about you” I say as I cup his cheek.
“I’m fine” he assures me but I simply narrow my eyes and bite my lip waiting for him to speak again. With a sigh he steps back to lean against the wall as he pulls me against his chest needing the comfort I bring him. “I’m just worried about everything.”
“Your dad?” I link him as I feel him shudder slightly beneath me.
“Yes” he replies quietly. “Axel found 5 bugs planted around the pack house and grounds. One on the bench we were sat on by the fountain, one outside my office, in the foyer and gym and then the last one was in the hospital reception.”
“Are you certain it was your dad?” I ask him.
“Yes” he sighs. “No one else in this pack has any reason to betray sensed deception from anyone?”
us. Have you
“Only your father” I admit quietly. “I thought it was because of everything that happened..but it could have been more.”
“I just don’t understand why he would work with the hunters, it makes no sense” he stresses through the link as an Omega walks past smiling at us both.
“Good morning” I say to her before she disappears into a nearby room to start her cleaning duties.
“Well we don’t know for certain but I think it’s best we rule it as a strong possibility

that your father is working with them. Sometimes we don’t know answers until it’s too late..that’s life Jax as much as it sucks at times” I link him as I feel him k*ss my head. But you’ve got me.”
“Thank Goddess for that” he says out loud with a hint of a smile on his lips.
“So I assume there is definitely nothing else we need to be aware of?” I ask him out loud motioning him around us.
“No..nothing” he assures me. “Axel did a thorough sweep and Evan checked also” he adds on through the link aware of pack members around us. “We just aren’t sure how much they heard.”
“Cra p” I sigh as we stroll into the dining room. Seeing Naomi and Laurence eating we head over and grab a plate of food before sitting down..
“Morning Luna” Naomi says happily as she caresses her growing bump. “You feeling.
better?”
Putting my concerns to one side for a moment I force myself to relax. “Much thank
you Naomi” I say, “do you mind?” I ask pointing to her bump.
“Go on” she says with a smile as I rest my hands feeling the pups being very active.
“Oh my” I gasp as one delivers a particularly strong kick to under my right hand. “How
do you get any sleep?” I joke.
“I don’t” she sighs dramatically, “but I love it.” Looking at her she has the warm glow
all expectant mothers get as they take on the journey of becoming a parent.
“You look amazing” I comment as she blushes at my words.
“Mmm if she looks this good pregnant we will be expecting many more pups in the
future” Laurence says with a cheeky growl making Naomi gasp.
“Laurence!” She hisses blushing furiously now. Jax and I laugh at their antics relieved to momentarily relax as we enjoy our breakfast and discuss how the pack is getting
along.
“I need to do some paperwork this morning” I tell Jax as he looks to me, “I’ll be sat down and anyway I feel much better. But I wondered if I should run both Alice and Naomi through some of the admin work I do, that way we have more pairs of hands.
