Nova POV:

Collapsing on the floor of the gym panting as sweat pours off of me I feel Jaxs gaze burning into my back.

“Feel better?” He chuckles when I look up to where he’s stood leaning against the wall with his arms and legs crossed.

“Mmhmm” I hum as I gaze openly at his tempting muscles in his fitted tee, showing his broad chest and powerful shoulders leading to his bulging arm muscles, which he casually flex’s knowing what’s got my attention.

“Good” he smirks. “As much as your eye f*****g me and I’d love to make you feel even better, we’re needed.”

“What’s up?” I ask immediately reverting to serious mode as I stand up and towel off my sweat.

“I am going to call and check in on the travelling pack members. Naomi informed us they arrived over an hour ago and I said I would see how they’re settling” he says as he pushes himself off the wall and holds the door open for me. “While you have to meet Corina” he reminds me.

“Oh yeah” i say before gulping down some water as I step out the gym. “Sorry for disappearing like that, I could feel my anger rising and knew it was becoming too much. I had to get it out.”

“I know” is all he says but his eyes are full of understanding and care for me.

“How has everyone been during dinner?” I ask quietly.

“Much better, everyone has been relaxed and talking between one another. Your dad’s pack look more comfortable now” he tells me with a smile as I breath a sigh of relief.

Walking upstairs I tentatively dip in to the emotions I am experiencing and feel relieved that the majority are ones of determination and confidence. Earlier I felt like I was drowning in a wave of anger and anxiousness, it made my body feel on edge and my temper quick to ignite, never mind the h orrendous migraine I had been suffering. But for now at least my body felt relaxed and rejuvenated, the anxiousness still there

but controllable.

“I can tell everybody is more comfortable around one another now” I say to Jax

quietly as I look around at the warriors still dining. “I feel more in control and like I can breathe again, my chest doesn’t feel tight.”

“I think your little show did the trick” he smirks as he wraps an arm around my shoulders and plays with a loose lock of my hair.

“I didn’t mean to snap at them” I sigh.
