Nova POV:
“You did well not to rip or stretch this” Alice comments as she helps me back into my
dress she has retrieved.
“Yes not quite sure how I managed that” I reply absentmindedly. I see her turn to look at Jax out the corner of my eye before
leaving the room quietly. He comes to stand in
front of me and holds my chin lightly guiding me to look at him.
“Are you ok?” He asks quietly.
“So many questions I say with a little laugh.
“Such as?” He asks.
“Why attack with 30 rogues to try and get Caroline?” I start.
“My best guess is they knew we were distracted with the Luna ceremony..how I’m not quite sure. But they knew the pack was
gathered all together” he says furrowing his
brows as he thinks.
“Exactly.. it was a st upid time to attack, we had the added support of Alex, multiple other alphas and betas who would all have
fought rogues and the pack warriors were all there apart from those on patrol which they somehow managed to slip through” I
point out.
“I thought that” he admits. “Perhaps it was to show they won’t back down. Our patrols should have been tighter even with a
celebration going on. Whatever their reasons it’s clear now that they are somehow working with rogues or wanderers as your
dad refers to them as. So they must be giving them an incentive. For rogues to be working
with hunters makes no sense, unless..”
“Unless they’re being controlled by witches” I finish as he nods in agreement. “Why would witches be willing to help the hunters?”
“Every species wants to be the strongest” Jax starts, “and with you and your father both being Guardian Wolves it would bring
strength and unity to the entire werewolf species in general. Of course I imagine there would still be some disputes nothing is
ever easy but vampires, witches, goddess knows what else..they would all feel more

threatened as a result.
“So it’s not just the hunters that are after me?” I say with sadness.
“I think there will be opposition coming from all directions for a while. But remember what your dad said, he was looked after and
protected by a witch. I think it’s those that are power hungry that will be against you, not all species as a whole love” Jax
says gently caressing my arm.

“But that gives us an idea of where to look” I say after a moment as Jax looks at me. with interest. “Those who are desperate for
power, it narrows down the options
doesn’t it.”
“It does” he agrees. “Look I know we can’t catch a break at the moment, or it certainly feels that way. But let’s enjoy the rest of
tonight as tomorrow it’s the hunters meeting. We can see if Evan and the others found out anything from the scouting missions in
the morning and go from there. I think it may be wise asking Elder Martin for a visit.”
“You’re right” I agree as I stand to go touch up my lipstick. “Let’s go back down.”
“Ready to be bombarded with questions?” He chuckles amusedly.
“I don’t like all the attention” I admit quietly.
“It will pass, but you need to understand a Guardian Wolf not just being a myth is a
ga very big deal. They don’t know about your dad yet, the information we know isn’t out there for everyone. So let’s just be

patient” Jax says with a comforting smile as he takes my hand. “Plus I will happily remind anyone I need to that tonight is our
Luna ceremony and we are there to enjoy ourselves.”
“Thank you babe” I say k*ssing his shoulder softly. As I walk down the stairs I feel many people’s eyes turn on me and watch my
every movement. Seeing Alex leaning. casually on the wall waiting for us I look at him with a grimace.
“I’ve really dropped you in it now haven’t I”
he says with a confident smirk.
Growling at him lightly I nod, “just a tad Alpha King.”
“Oh she’s used my title..I’m in real trouble” he murmurs to Jax.
“It’s not you Alex” he says quietly.
“Kia loves the attention and showing off her skills but of course it’s me who then
2/5
deals with the conversations and stares” I mumble looking at him slightly apologetically. “It’s just taking some getting used to, I’m
sorry for snapping at you.”

“Don’t apologise” he says seriously. “I know what it feels like but I’d be more open to the idea of getting used to it if I were you”
Alex says quietly. “You both will be getting. looked at like this for a long time.”
“What?” I ask him sharply.
“You’ll know in time” is all he says before waltzing off to find Ophelia.
“Infuriating” I hiss to Jax as we watch him walk away.
He barks a laugh as his eyes dance with amusement, he is. Come on, let’s go mingle.” Taking my hand we continue to the
gardens where we are met with
Laurence. Luca and Axton.
“There’s our Luna” Laurence smirks proudly.
“Oh goddess” I groan as he chuckles.
“You were awesome Nova, let me go get your a drink. I think we could all do with
relaxing” he says with an understanding smile my way.
“Kia is a machine Nova” Luca says proudly, and you just as much may I add.”
“Yeah I say with a little shrug, “we might be impressive but it’s causing us some
issues.”
“Nova” Axton starts before looking to Jax.
“I don’t mind you speaking to her Axton, I understand you have seen her grow over
the years and been there for her, and you’re mated to Mila now after all. f*****g hell
you’re going to be part of the family” he says with a laugh rubbing his forehead.
“Yeah that was unexpected” Axton chuckles as his eyes find Mia dancing with her
ma. Turning back to me his face turns serious, “look I know how concerned you were
about everyone knowing who you are exactly, I’ve seen you struggle for years about the fact that one day everyone would know.
But you need to just accept it, you are literally a wolf of legend..it’s massive news to everyone. You are strong in all aspects and
you should be proud of that. The attention might not be what you want but instead of allowing it to pis s you off to put it bluntly,

why don’t you embrace it. People.

will move on in time Nova, but trust me. When you fight like you just did, it’s worth talking about.”
“You’re sure?” I ask them all as the men nod confidently.
“I want to shout from the rooftops that you’re my sister” Luca says with a shrug. “You
kick as s but not only that, you are just as powerful with your words and influence.”
“It’s going to take some getting used to love, but you’ve been blessed by the Moon

Goddess and that can’t be ignored. Embrace it as Axton said and together we can
navigate the attention, you’re not alone in any of this” Jax says wrapping his arm
round my shoulder protectively.
“Here’s your drink Nova, Jax” Laurence says handing us both a glass. “I’ve made sure everyone knows to let you both enjoy your
evening, people have questions and that’s understandable but they can wait until morning.”
“Thank you Laurence” I say gratefully.
“Pleasure” he says as I gulp my drink down eagerly. “Now may I have a dance with my
Luna?” He asks raising a brow at Jax.
“One dance” Jax says smirking.
“So generous” Laurence mocks as the others laugh. Taking my hand he leads me to the dance floor where he starts to lead me
with natural confidence.
“You had dance lessons too huh?” I ask with a giggle.
“Yup” he smirks, “Jax only agreed to Amelia’s nagging if I also attended.”
“Smart man” I comment with a laugh.
“Nova I know this is quite overwhelming but I just wanted to make sure you knew that
I I am here for you whenever. You’re my Luna and it’s in my blood to protect you, if your need me you shout” he says into my ear
quietly.
“Thank you Laurence” I say biting my lip. “It’s all just became very real, I’ve known my responsibility for a long time, but now
others do to I feel like they may have.
expectations of me.”
“But you are also
just a person” Laurence says understandingly, “there is no doubt you are an incredible woman Nova but that does not mean life
should take away from

your joy. That’s why Jax and myself want you to enjoy this evening especially.
“I know” I murmur as he spins me gently before pulling me close again.
“I’d die for you Nova” Laurence says suddenly making me look at him in shock. “You are my Luna and as Beta I am naturally
protective of you and want to be there for you,
when I became Beta I swore it.”
“I don’t want you to die for me” I say in horror.
He chuckles at that before he replies, “I’m not planning on dying Nova. But what I’m
trying to say is Guardian Wolf or not, first and foremost you are my Luna. I know you
don’t need people’s protection, you are stronger than many of us combined. But that
doesn’t change how people will view you, that’s what I’m trying to show you. If
anything they may respect you more and that’s always a good thing. Ignore people’s
expectations, you make smart decisions on your own and that’s what’s important.”
“You’re a wise man” I say after a moment making him puff his chest proudly.
“I am” he agrees coc kily.
“And a good friend” I add on softly making him smile.
“Exactly, you would do anything for us and we would do anything for you” he says comfortingly. As the music stops we step apart
and I feel lighter for our conversation.
“Thank you Laurence, that meant more than you know” I say as we walk back to
where Jax is watching.
“Anytime Nova” he smiles before squeezing my hand and saluting at Jax. “Mission accomplished” he smirks.
“Mission?” Jax asks raising a brow.
“Be there for my Luna” Laurence says proudly making Jax grin at his Beta and friend.
