Stars Above Lonely Nights — Michael Brown novel Chapter 132

out loud as my smile falters slightly. Seeing his eyes widen in panic he quickly continues, “I don’t

mean I don’t have faith. Trust me, when it comes to you I have more faith than you can imagine. I

just don’t want you to get your hopes up too much, don’t put too much pressure on yourself that’s

all.”

Realising he’s right and that he’s just caring for me I relax and my lips curl upwards at his words.” You’re right” I say to him. Cupping his jaw lightly I kiss his chin before pulling back, “thank you for

concern about me.”

“I always care how you’re feeling Nova” he says with a slight smile. “Are you ready for this?” He

asks pointing to the conference room door.

“As ready as I’ll ever be” I smirk before confidently pushing the door open and walking in with my

mate by my side.

”

Seeing the Alphas and other officials all turn to us I smile at them, my gaze unwavering and steady

as I try to emanate an aura of calm and collected. “Afternoon everybody” Jax says his voice strong

as it carries across the room. “I hope you’ve all settled alright? Is everything suitable?”

“Everything is very organised Alpha Jax” a tall ginger young man says as he comes to shake his hand. “I’m Alpha Conor of the Black Star Pack, my father Alpha Brent sends his best wishes and

says he has much confidence in our efforts.”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you young Alpha Conor, it’s nice to see you with some more responsibility” Jax says smiling genuinely at the son of his ally.

“Kingsley..how have you all settled?” Jax asks looking to my dad as he sits quietly to the side.

“My pack members have finished setting up their camp, Theo came by and distributed the training rotas etc and everyone is in understanding of what we have planned” dad replies with a pleased smile. “The test will be when everyone has food this evening.”

“No one is angry with them” I say attempting to sift through the emotions I can sense, “I feel worry

and nervousness. Many don’t know what to expect from your pack dad, a peaceful rogue pack

wanting to aid others isn’t one that’s been heard of before. But the fact you’re a Guardian Wolf

carries meaning, people understand that.”

“You can sense all that?” He asks impressed.

Frowning slightly I nod, “I think so. I mean I don’t know for certain but I’m fairly confident. Whatever

Kara did has helped me understand it a bit more.”

“You know I think this is how I could sense deception so well before” I suddenly link Jax as I make

the connection in my mind. “I’ve always had a good sense of when people are deceiving me, or one

another but I have to admit In the last month it’s become a lot more accurate.”

“Makes sense” he replies as his eyes meet mine, pride prominent in them.

“Right everyone let’s sit” Jax motions.

“What is this meeting about then?” Alpha Brad asks.

+25 Points

“The fact we have 1300 rogues and 7 witches that we are aware of coming to fight us” Alex growls

as he storms into the room.

The others immediately stand and bow low respectfully as Jax and I do the same.

“Alpha King” Jax says as he comes to beside us.

“Sorry I’m late” he smirks arrogantly his Alpha King persona strong in this setting, feeding off of the

respect shown by other Alphas.

“I’m sorry did you say 1300 rogues and 7 witches?!” Alpha Brad splutters. “That’s gone up a lot

hasn’t it?”

“It has” Jax says solemnly.

“But it’s time to kill those fuckers, and I have a plan” Alex smirks.
