Jax POV:
“Looking smart Alpha” I hear Laurence say as I step out of the bathroom I was using to ready myself in. Attaching my cufflinks I have a quick check in the mirror and nod to myself. Dressed in a smart black suit with a green tie I assume matches Novas dress I admit I look good. Running a hand through my hair I style it into a perfect messy styled look I know Nova is into rather than a slicked back gelled look.
“Thanks Laurence” I say slapping his shoulder as I go to pour us a glass of whiskey. Holding them up we toast “to The Midnight Sky Pack.”
“Been a long day coming this” Laurence says as we head downstairs. “A ceremony for our true Luna” he explains when I look at him confused.
“The pack seem much more enthusiastic for this ceremony” I chuckle.
“Wonder why” Laurence scoffs. Seeing his eyes glaze over I wait before he turns to me with an excited gaze, “ladies are coming down.”
I feel a wash of nerves rush through me before I shake them off. This time is nothing like the ceremony I had to go through before I remind myself as I spin to look up the stairs waiting for my beautiful Luna to arrive. Feeling Zeus excitement increase along with mine I soon forget about my nerves as my mates enticing scent hits my nose.
My ma walks down first along with Mila and Naomi, “you look beautiful” I say to them as they reach the bottom. Seeing my mum’s bold look I smirk, “I see what you’re doing ma.”
“Is it working?” She asks innocently.
“I think it will send just the right message, you are one strong independent woman as they say” I assure her making her grin widely.
“Your Luna looks like something else” she says with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
Seeing my confused expression Mila steps forward, “I don’t think I’ve seen someone so gorgeous before as her” she says seriously. Straightening my tie she smiles at me, “proud of you Jax.”
“Thanks Mila” I murmur before I hear the sound of heels walking to the stairs. Looking up I freeze as my eyes meet Novas.
Trailing my eyes down I take in her dress that hugs her figure perfectly, her legs peaking through as she walks carefully down the stairs showing how toned and shapely they are. Looking back up I see a soft blush staining her cheeks as she sees my reaction.
“Wow” I whisper as she comes to a stop in front of me. Her long lashes flutter as she looks up at my star struck gaze. Staring for a few moments she chuckles nervously.
“Is it ok?” She asks looking down and smoothing the front.
“Nova you look amazing..like a goddess” I say softly making her bite her lip to stop herself from grinning. “I’m pretty speechless” I say with a chuckle.
“Can say that again” Alice comments quietly as she walks pasts.
“You look handsome” Nova says reaching out and playing with my jacket collar. “Although I can’t wait to take this off later” she links me making my breath hitch in anticipation.
“Don’t start now, these trousers make things very obvious” I link her back making her smirk.
Hearing Laurence clear his throat I realise everyone is watching our silent conversation and Nova blushes once again.
“You look stunning Luna” Laurence says kissing her cheeks politely making me growl lightly at him. “Oh jeez Jax, my pregnant mate is right there” he says making everyone chuckle.
“Sorry man” I say scratching my head. “Are you ready my Luna?”
“Yes” she replies confidently making me smile as she takes my arm.
“Nova” I hear Kingsley call before we step outside.
“Dad” she exclaims happily as he comes to stop before us.
“I just wanted to see you before you go up there and say how proud I am of you, and..you look just like your mother” he says with a soft smile as his eyes tear up.
“Oh dad” she whispers as she carefully hugs him. “I’m so happy you’re here.”
“Me too” he whispers. “Right go do your thing you two, I’ll see you after.”
