Chapter 52


    David’s worries


    Jax POV:


    “How you doing son? My father asks In his deep voice as we enter.


    “Better now” I say throwing a look at Nova as she purposefully avoids my gaze


    making me chuckle.


    “How are you dear?” My mum asks rushing to embrace Nova. “Your mum adores her”


    Zeus informs me as if I hadn’t already figured that out.


    “Good thank you Amelia, it’s nice to be home” Nova responds politely returning her hug. “How are you


    both?”


    “Good considering the recent events” ma assures us with a warming smile.


    “It’s nice to be back in the pack house” Pa agrees.


    “I’m sorry we aren’t able to make those dinner ns I suggested but we will next week when we


    hopefully have more time” Nova says giving my parents an apologetic look.


    “We understand” ma says waving her off.


    “I did actually have something I’d like to talk to you about Amelia” Nova starts looking nervous biting


    her lip slightly as I’ve noticed she does when she’s unsure of what’s going to happen. “As you know my


    Luna ceremony needs organising, I’ve got Naomi, Flo and Alice helping. Obviously Flo will do what she


    can but it could be a nice thing to help her as she recovers. But we have a little to do over the next few


    weeks and I imagine I’m going to be very busy, I was wondering if you’d be willing to take over the


    reigns a bit organising it for me?”


    Seeing my mums eyes widen in excitement as she gasps I grin. “I would love to! Oh my goddess how


    exciting” she squeals. “Thank you Nova, you have no idea how


    much this means to me.”


    Seeing the tears in my mums eyes I turn to Nova, “Genevieve wasn’t as keen for my mothers help” I


    exin quietly.


    “What?” She asks looking confused, “but surely the previous Luna is the perfect


    David’s wories


    person to help. You had your own..I mean talk about first hand experience.”


    Chuckling I agree, “well as long as it’s not going to be like the previous ceremony I’m


    going to leave it to youdies to organise.”


    “What was it like?” Nova ask amused. Seeing my mum grimace Iugh.


    “Tacky” mum says bluntly, “yet ridiculously expensive.”


    “Ah” Nova chuckles not prying for more information, “well I would appreciate any help


    you can give.”


    “I’ll start right away, we will have to find sometime and have a chat about it” my ma


    beams.


    “Well I’d like a white and green theme, warm lights not those awful bright white ones, and with food I’m


    not fussy. But I do love cheesecake oh and I hate mango” Noval


    says with a shrug.


    “White and green?” I probe.


    “Your eyes” Nova smiles, “my favourite part of you.”


    “Not my bulging muscles and big c**k?” I link her bluntly making her throw me a sharp look.


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    “Those are just an added bonus” she replies yfully making me hide augh behind


    a cough.


    “That’s a great idea Nova, I’ll have a look and get some ideas for you” my mum says drawing her in for


    another hug as arge smile stays stered on her face.


    “So as you know we are going to the council over the next few days” I start as the


    atmosphere turns more serious, “whilst we are gone I’m leaving Laurence in charge.”


    “Laurence?” My father asks confused.


    “Yes” I say calmly. “He’s my Beta, he’s more than capable of the job and he has the


    most understanding bar me of everything that is going on. He has Alpha blood in him


    as well which makes him strong.”


    “Better than the previous Alpha?” Pa asks in disbelief.


    “Yes I believe he’s more suitable” I say calmly.


    David’s woes


    “Son have you thought this through?” Pa asks again.


    Gritting my teeth my eyes sh with that of Zeus, “yes. I have, Lam the Alpha here father don’t question


    me”


    “With all due respect David, you are retired. Laurence helps run this pack day in day out and it is his


    responsibility as Beta to step up when required” Nova interjects.


    gently.


    “David they’re right. We stepped down and Jax is the Alpha now, we as parents. should help when


    necessary and offer any support we can. Laurence is an excellent Beta, and may I point out you did the


    same at times during your time as Alpha” My ma


    points out.


    Nodding slowly he looks away with a pained expression on his face. “Ok Alpha” he says deliberately.


    “I also have Axel and Evan returning this evening, in our absence the pack needs. added strength. It


    was a concern of mine with Nova and myself being away from the grounds at the same time as my Ga


    mmas. They will be here until the weekend and then will return back to Uncle Henry’s pack to finalise a


    few things before theye back permanently the following week” I inform my parents.


    Seeing my mother’s eyes widen in shock I turn and see my father ring at me.


    “What?” He growls with his eyes zing.


    “You heard me Pa” I say pinching the bridge of my nose.


    “Do you really think that’s sensible?” He asks as my mum looks down at the ground hiding the hurt that


    crosses her face.


    “Yes..I do” I reply sharply.


    “They are..” he starts before I quickly interject.


    “They are what father? Insolent? Unruly? Unfit to bear the responsibility of our family? “I ask frustrated.


    “Yes!” My father exims angrily, “those boys need to learn responsibility and what it means to follow


    instructions. They were careless and endangered others, what’s changed?”


    |


    David’s worens


    “Father that was 7 years ago..7!” I shout angrily.


    “Jax?” I hear Nova ask quietly.


    “They were teenagers Nova, they went out with a group of friends and ended up


    spending time with 2 human girls. There was an attack and they shifted, in front of


    the girls, to save them” I exin keeping my voice calm.


    “They revealed us to humans” my father growls.


    “It was either that or those girls got killed, what would you have done father?” I ask


    heatedly stepping forward as my aura bristles. “They reacted and they bore the


    consequence of their actions at the time. I would have done the same.”


    “What happened to the girls?” Nova asks.


    With a sigh I turn to her, “one had to go to a psych ward for a month. We paid for her


    medical care and we exined everything, my brothers were not going to let the


    rogues attack them, I mean goddess knows what they would have done they were


    feral. The other girl spoke to her family and 3 monthster she became a hunter.”


    “But at the time Axel and Evan protected them?” Nova checks.


    “Yes” I answer immediately.


    “They exposed us and put a target on our pack, they should never have got involved”


    my father growls.


    “Would you stop father” I growl angrily, “they were young and they reacted as anyb*dy with Alpha blood


    should have. They protected those who were weak and stopped them from suffering further.”


    “I will not tolerate theming home” my father says striding towards me.


    “They are your son’s” I growl. “Why are you behaving like this? You saw them at Novast


    party, you enjoyed spending time with them. Why can’t you just enjoy the chance you


    have to work with your sons again?”


    “Because I don’t trust them” he snaps.


    “Is that why they went to Henry’s pack?” Nova asks quietly.


    “Yes..it was father’s decision” I say throwing him a dirty look. “I attempted to bring


    them home when I became Alpha but out of respect for our father they said they wanted to continue


    improving themselves to make him proud.”


    “David our sons areing home, you need to put the past behind you” my mother


    says grasping his arm gently.


    “And what if the hunters got you?” My father asks in a strained voice, “I couldn’t go through that again


    and it could have happened. All because of them.”


    “Oh for Goddesses sake David. They are MY sons, I have been patient with you..with This situation


    regarding hunters and your opinion on them because of what you have suffered before. BUT I will


    remind you for the final time, I am not your ex mate. I can fight, and I would fight to my death to protect


    my family and my pack, I will not shy away from the danger the hunters show us” my mother says


    fiercely. “It is time for our sons toe home, I want them home.”


    “Amelia.” my father says brokenly.


    “No. I am not discussing this with you further, get your head out of your ar se and look. at the bigger


    picture. We are stronger as a family and they areing home. If you do not ept that they have


    done everything they can to make you forgive them then. that’s your issue, I miss my sons and I am


    proud of them” my mother says again ast


    her eyes sh


    “If it hadn’t been for Axels quick work we wouldn’t have located the vans that had


    taken Flo, and if it wasn’t for Evans hard work training the warriors at Henry’s pack they wouldn’t have


    been so efficient in recovering her” I say.


    “Look father, I am the Alpha here. You either get on board or you go. I’m not arguing.


    and this isn’t a discussion, I am telling you” I say with conviction stepping forward to re at my father.


    “I will be in my office when you’re ready to apologise and start acting like the Alpha you were.”
