Chapter 41


    Family


    Nova POV:


    Breakfast was a bit of a tense affair on my end, I tried to rx and engage in conversation with our


    families but my mind kept wandering to what was toe.


    “You ok Nova you seem a bit distracted this morning?” Luca asks me quietly.


    Pausing for a moment I look around the table seeing everyone is busy eating. “Do you fancy going for a


    walk?” I ask turning to look at him.


    “Yeah why not, let’s go” he says before letting Sophie know he’ll be back shortly.


    “I’m just going for a walk with Luca” I whisper to Jax as I stand. Seeing understanding in his eyes I


    smile softly at him before standing.


    “Thank you for breakfast everyone it was lovely, Luca and I are just going for a walk


    we will be back soon” I say before we walk out the hall quietly.


    As we head towards the forest I lead the way towards theke where I know it will be quiet and I can


    calm my busy mind. “So Caroline ising to the pack this afternoon, Axton called and he has


    arranged the transfer. They will be attempting to wake her up


    in the morning I believe” I say to Luca as we take a seat by theke.


    “Ah..” he says as takes in what I’ve said. “How do you feel?”


    “I’m not too sure if I’m honest, I know this has to be done and I’m happy that we are


    starting the process of finding out more but I’m also apprehensive” I sigh as I watch


    two butterflies dance together in the morning sun.


    “I think you need to go in there with your boss like attitude, you’re a badas s Nova but


    you’re also understanding, kind and patient they all level out perfectly. What you need to remember is


    that there is a very strong possibility your mum may still be alive, I don’t want to say she is for definite


    as until we speak to the council we don’t know for


    sure that it affects a human wolf mateship the same. But if there is a chance she is.


    and that waking Caroline may help..then it needs to be done” he says with conviction.


    “I know it needs to be done, doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll enjoy the oue” I


    mumble quietly.


    Family


    Grasping my hand in his I see pain reflected in his eyes, “losing our parents was the


    most difficult day in my entire life” he starts, “but you have the chance of finding your mum..I would do


    anything to have our mum back. I would travel the entire world to


    help her if necessary. You have to do this Nova.”


    “I know” I smile gently at him, “I’m going to go through with it, there is no way I wouldn’t. I’m just trying


    to keep control of my emotions. The amount of possible. oues it could lead to it increasing and it


    makes me nervous not knowing what is


    “Don’t over think it, what did dad use to say..one step at a time. So..first we get Caroline here, secondly


    we try to wake her, thirdly..we find out what she knows” Luca


    tells me.


    “Yes..you’re right” I whisper before going quiet for a moment.


    “So..care to tell me about Sophie?” I ask chuckling as I see the love struck smile.


    stered on his face.


    “She’s amazing, she’s intelligent, witty and absolutely stunning” he grins.


    “She’s my sister, I mean surely some of those things run in the family” I joke.


    “Oh goddess I’m going to have to make sure I now highlight that you’re my adopted sister and we


    share no blood rtion. Can you image the looks id get if I introduced you as my sister and I’m mated


    to yours” he groans.


    Snorting out augh I shake my head at him, “that is a very good point. I for one. believe it’s all part of


    the moon Goddesses n..surely you being mates with my


    sister means something.”


    “And for this I think it’s your turn to be right. Either way I’m so d I’ve finally met


    her..I was beginning to lose hope” he admits quietly.


    “I know” I murmur making him look at me in shock.


    Shrugging I look out at theke again before speaking,


    I grew up with n your s you and can tell every emotion you have going on in those eyes of yours. Id see


    your face when there would be new matings, you were happy of course you were, but you


    couldn’t hide the pain from me.”


    Laughing lightly he nodded, “I should have told you from the start.”


    Family


    “You didn’t have to Luca. I had faith your mate woulde, and I knew deep down you did to. Just the


    longer it took the further down you buried that faith” I point out.


    “Spot on. Who needs a therapist when you have a sister as observant as you” he


    jokes.


    “What can I say, it’s just one of my talents” Iugh making him chuckle in response. Come on, I best


    say goodbye to Jaxs family before they leave” I gesture towards the path standing up.


    “You know I miss this” Luca says suddenly as we arrive back at the pack house.


    “Me too, but this is life now. Jax said you’re wee whenever” I remind him.


    “But as a Beta I don’t get many opportunities to leave the pack, and now more than ever I need to be


    there to help Axton when I get back. The council got back to me this


    morning” he admits.


    “Ah” I say not wanting to pry.


    “We’ve been called in 4 days, Rose will be on trial then as Axton has said he cannot.


    find the truth out without the risk of losing his temper” he exins.


    “Well that’s mature of him..and correct” I agree.


    “They may reach out to you, I named you as a witness and because of obvious reasons they will most


    likely want your version of events. To be honest I don’t even know if it was a true mate bond” he shakes


    his head as he says that in disbelief.


    “Well like Jax and I said, if you need us we will be there” I assure him.


    “Thanks Nova” he says as we walk into the downstairs lounge.


    “Hey..nice walk?” Jax asks as he stands to give me a quick hug.


    “It was love, I feel better” I assure him seeing the question lingering in his eyes. As relief crosses his


    face he k*sses my temple softly.


    “I apologise for missing some of breakfast, with Luca meeting Sophiest night and me busy


    celebrating we didn’t get much time to talk about..well anything really” Iugh lightly, “but I would love if


    you coulde and join Jax and I for a private dinner in a couple of days?” I ask his family.


    Family


    Seeing them all smile in understanding his mother steps forward embracing me, “of course darling. We


    are looking forward to it.” She assures me with a knowing smile.


    “Thank you” I reply softly.


    “That was a great idea” Jax whispers in my ear squeezing me softly.


    “If you could excuse us, I’d like to speak to Laurence and Nova in private. It was lovely seeing


    everyonest night” Jaxs deep voice says from behind me.


    “Dad will we be seeing you soon?” I ask as we reach him by the door.


    I’m


    “I’m going to go back to my pack now but I’ll be returning in the morning. I’m aware of what’s happening


    to cause any issues” he exins..


    “Of course, and Sophie?” I ask quietly.


    “She will be staying here, I thought I may as well offer for her to stay here whilst Luca is visiting. It gives


    you the chance to spend some time with her also” Jax announces


    from beside me as my father smiles in approval.


    “That’s wonderful” I say pulling Sophie in for a hug. “How about I meet you for some


    lunch?”


    “That would be perfect” she assures me.
