Chapter 36
Jaxs Family
Nova POV:
“You ready for this?” I hear Alice ask me as I finish putting on my slick of lip gloss. Stepping back I look
at myself in the mirror, I have to admit Alice knows how to dress me for any event. Wearing a flowing
sage green summer dress that ends at my knees fitting snugly around my breasts and waist I look
perfect for a pack BBQ, with my heeled wedges entuating my toned legs I smile happily to myself.
“Dressed like this I am” I wink at Alice before turning and giving her a big hug, “thank you for organising
this Alice.”
“You look gorgeous” shepliments stepping back and looking at her handy work.
“As do you” I grin back at her, Alice is dressed in a long maxi dress with some heels
giving her small frame a little extra height.
“Yes well I thought I’d make the most of this dress before my belly is too swollen to fit anything” she
chuckles.
Linking my arm through hers I rest my head on her shoulder, “I can’t believe you’re
going to be a mum. It’s amazing news.”
Seeing Alice smile softly as her hand rests gently on her belly I can’t stop the sense of
longing that pangs in my heart. “We will have pups one day Nova, we are still young”
Ki murmurs to me.
I
“I can’t wait for that day, but I also know now isn’t our time” I confide to Kia, “I’m more
than happy being an Aunty for now.”
Walking downstairs I can hear the music from the backwn and lots of excited
chatter, “will you be here soon?” Jax links me anxiously.
As we leave the back door my eyes scan over the crowd before focusing on Jaxs
muscr frame standing with Luca and some warriors chatting animatedly, the
afternoon sun glinting off of his tanned skin and adding a shine to his dark hair. “I’m
behind you” I link him giggling.
With that he stops talking and spins round, his eyes searching for mine before he
spots me and arge grin spreads across his face as he makes his way swiftly to me.

As he gets closer I see his eyes briefly nce over my figure as they darken slightly. “you look

gorgeous” he murmurs in my ear dropping a k*ss on my cheek as he says.
SO.
I
Blushing I smile up at him as I rest a hand on his firm chest, “you don’t look too bad yourself” I reply
yfully.
“I know” he smirks back confidently.
“Shhh calm down Alpha ego” Iugh at him lightly tapping his arm making his chest. rumble with a
deep chuckle.
“Come let’s go see Luca, he’s been waiting for you” he says quietly as he leads me towards my
brother.
“Nova!” Luca exims happily as I reach him, “you’re finally here” heughs giddily.
“Eh oh, has someone been drinking” I giggle at him as I take in his slightly unfocused
eyes. He simply smirks at me whilst shrugging his shoulders, “you know me Nova, I won’t get wasted
don’t worry. But I certainly n on enjoying your birthday and my
time off.”
“I wouldn’t want if any other way..where’s my drink?” I am raising an eyebrow at him.
expectantly.
“Coming right up” he smirks before turning to walk away. He pauses mid stride before
spinning back round and running to twirl me round happily, “I forgot to say
congrattions sister..you will make an amazing Luna. I’m very happy for you both.”
Setting me down he steps back to look at my new mark with a happy gleam in his
eyes.
“Thank you Luca” I whisper trying to hide the emotion in my voice. Seeing an emotion
flit across his face which I’m not used to seeing I grasp his arm and step to one side.
with him.
“You ok?” I ask quietly.
He looks down at me and nods slowly with a little smile on his face, “I am truly happy for
you Nova. But I’m not going to lie, I’ve enjoyed having my sister around thest
few years.”
H
Looking at him steadily I raise a brow knowing there is more to it. He sighs lightly

before continuing, “where’s my mate?” He asks quietly almost to himself.
Hearing those words my eyes soften, “your mate ising Luca. I know you have been waiting a long
time but I also know you are going to be perfect for her as she will be for you. It will be worth the wait.” I
say hoping tofort him.
After a moments quiet he shakes his head, “enough about me. It’s not everyday my sister turns 25 and
finds her mate bing a Luna, let’s celebrate!”
Grinning at him as he jogs over to get me a drink I step back beside Jax. “Everything ok?” He links me
whilst smiling at Naomi and Laurence who have just joined us.
“Yes, he’s been waiting 10 years for his mate. He’s happy for us, but it must be hard watching those
close to you meet their fated mates whilst you’re still waiting” I reply.
“It is hard, but it will be worth it” Jaxforts me.
“That’s what I told him” I say before continuing, “he’s ok don’t worry.”
Nodding his head slightly to show he understands he turns his attention back to the
group, ‘so how’s the birthday Luna?” Laurence asks smiling.
“Good thank you Laurence, this looks beautiful” I gesture around the garden. Seeing
all the lights twi nkling above I can imagine how gorgeous it’s going to look once the
sun has set.
Seeing the men’s chests puff out in pride Naomi and i snigger quietly, “of course it
does. We did it” Laurence beams with pride.
“Men’s ego honestly” i mutter yfully rolling my eyes at Naomi.
Sensing Jaxs attention elsewhere I look up at him inquisitively, with a smile he looks down at me as he
lowers his mouth to talk in my ear, “my family have arrived. Ready for introductions?” He murmurs
huskily sending a shiver down my spine. Stepping back I straighten myself whilst sending him a small
re as he smirks knowing the
effect he has on me.
“I’m ready” I say confidently as he holds his arm out for me to grasp. Walking towards the drinks table I
see an older couple with the air of authority surrounding them as well as two men who look simr to
Jax but are slightly smaller in their build next to
a tall leggy blonde who is openly admiring the warriors bringing in the food for the
BBQ.
Jer Family
“Hello Ma, Pa..everyone” Jax starts with a smile as we reach them. Td like you all to
meet Nova, my mate.”
“Hello, it’s a pleasure to meet you all I say graciously looking at them all clearly.
“You are stunning my dear he mum says as she steps forwards sping my hands in
hers, ‘wee to the family. I’m Amelia, Jaxs mother.”
“Its lovely to meet you, I can see where Jax gets his warmth from I note as she embraces me in a
loving hug. Stepping back I see the smile stretching across her face at my words, “thank you Nova.”
“Don’t go telling everyone I can be like that Nova, I have my Alpha image to maintain”
Jaxughs from beside me.
Looking up at him I c**k an eyebrow before replying, “well maybe it will knock your
alpha ego down a couple of notches, goddess knows it seems you men need it..do I
need to get Naomi over to back me up?”
He breaks out in loudughter as his eyes crinkle, “fair enough, you got me there.”
“I know” I wink at him before turning back to his families amused faces.
“Hello Nova, I’m David his father” his father says stepping up and grasping my hand in
his for a from handshake. As I look in his eyes I see a slight coldness emitting from
them making me furrow my brows slightly before I smooth my expression out and
maintain eye contact with him.
“It’s a pleasure Sir” i murmur quietly. He steps back for a moment looking at me with
an unreadable expression.
Hearing a throat being cleared from my right I look away from David to see his sister
practically bouncing on the spot, “hello you must be his sister” I giggle softly stepping
towards her.
“Hello” she exims before drawing me in for a tight hug, “I’m M, I am so excited to
meet you. It’s about time one of these found their mates, honestly the amount of
testosterone can be over bearing at times. I can’t wait to spend time with you.” She fires off excitedly
making Jax step forward and grasp her arm gently.
“Calm down M” he says gently.
Jays Family
“Don’t be silly Jax, it’s lovely to meet you M. I’m looking forwards to spending some time with you” I
assure her graciously. Seeing the smug look she throws Jaxs way I chuckle before looking to his
brothers.
“Hello Nova, we are Axel and Evan, his twin brothers” they announce simultaneously.
Chuckling I step forward and shake both their hands, “ah another set of twins who speak in tangent” I
grin at Jax. “It’s a pleasure to meet you both.”
“Strong shake” Axelment’s approvingly ncing down at where our hands met a
moment ago.
I simply smile at thement before stepping back into Jaxs side.
“So Nova, I hear you were mated previously?” David asks looking at me pointedly.
“Father..” Jax starts stepping forward before i sp his arm shaking my head slightly indicating I can
handle this.
“Yes Sir, I was mated with Alpha Axton of the White Mountain Pack. We entered a
chosen mate rtionship to help the pack, my brother is the Beta” I inform him not
looking away from his gaze.
“You loved him?” He asks sharply.
I pause for a moment to look into his eyes, seeing theck of trust in them l understand his Alpha Wolf I
struggling to wrap his head around what has happened. with the knowledge avable whilst he’s
wanting to be supportive of his son.
“I did, admittedly it is nothingpared to how I now feel for you son. However for 3 years I was
treated well, Axton and I worked hard to better the pack and we were sessful in leading together. He
found his true mate however and i in no way was going to stand between them. I will not deny at the
beginning of the mateship it was for the pack but we did grow to love and respect one another.
However, I can assure you that is no longer the case, I will always look back on my time there with
happiness with when I left the exception. But I am now focused on my life here, with Jax” I assure him
smiling up at Jax who is looking at me in pride.
“You met Jax previously though?” He probes looking at me with an unreadable
expression.
“Father..” Jax warns again, I once again shake my head before meeting David’s gaze.
Into Family
With a slightly colder voice I speak clearly maintaining eye contact with David, “I did meet Jax
previously a couple of times yes, I could not meet my mate until the age of 25, I’m sure in time you will
can sense the distrust in you and I want to assure you that I love your son Waking up to him being my
mate this morning was the best moment of my life, I’ve met my soul mate, my other half. I can also
assure you I will take the role of Luna very seriously, have the packs best interest in my heart and I am
excited to work alongside Jaz”
“And you can fight” he states not replying to my previously spoken words.
With that Jax and I exchange a knowing smirk, “yes I can. I trained with the elite warriors from the age
of 15 at the academy when I resided in the Red Moon Pack 1 ran the training program at the White
Mountain Pack and I have been assisting Gam ma Flo and Gam ma Theo during my time here.”
Seeing approval in his eyes !
smile internally.
“I heard you knocked Jax on his as s” Axel sniggered earning a re from Jax.
“Yes..I did” Iugh lightly, “sorry babe” I add on to Jaz.
With a loud sigh he looks away before turning to me with a yful look, “well someone had to.
Embarrassing that it was my Luna who can do it but weirdly enough
I find it strangely attractive.”
“Oh I know” I wink earning some more sniggers from his brothers before turning back
to once again look at David.
“I know you have your worries and theck of knowledge is concerning you, I
understand that. But I am asking you to please take the time to see how much your
son and this pack mean to me. They took me in when I felt broken, everyb*dy has
been weing and a pleasure to be around. I am looking forward to getting to know
you
all better” I assure him whilst showing him I will stand up for myself.
“I spoke to the council..” his father starts earning a growl from Jax.
“You did WHAT?” Jax exims.
“Shhh Jax, he’s an Alpha of course he’s tried to find more information” I shrug unbothered by his
father’s announcement.
“They had very little to say but what they did was very promising” he continues.
Jaxs Family
I look at him waiting for him to speak once more.
“I’m With a sigh he looks away for a moment before he turns his attention back to us, sorry Nova. It’s
hard to stop being an Alpha at times, especially when ites to family. After meeting you I can sense
how genuine you are and I should have trusted Jax from the start, for that I apologise son” he says
whilst looking between us. “I am looking forwards to us all spending time together and I have faith you
two will be great leaders.”
“Thank you Sir” I say graciously.
“David” he says simply to me before stepping forward and embracing me gently,”
wee to the family Nova.”
