Nova POV:
I spend the weekend exploring the pack grounds and getting my things unpacked in my suite, I introduce myself to the pack members I meet along the way and everyone seems very welcoming. I hear a lot of compliments about Kia which makes her stand tall in my head extremely pleased with herself.
It’s Sunday evening when I am walking outside after dinner to go and spend some time in the gardens when I hear my name being called behind me. Turning I see Jax striding my way looking relaxed in a loose white button top and denim trousers.
“Hey” I say as he draws closer.
“Hi” he smiles stopping in-front of me, after a minute gazing at me he continues, “I just wanted to check in and see how you’re settling in?”
Turning I look out across the gardens, “it’s lovely thank you for wondering. I’ve got things sorted in the suite and everyone I have spoken to has been very welcoming.”
“Good” he says sounds relieved, “I’m glad. Still on for a spar in the morning before they begin training sessions? We could do it instead of the gym?”
Nodding enthusiastically I spin to look at him, “definitely!”
Seeing his eyes light up I blush slightly, “shall we say 6am?”
His deep voice replies “I’ll be there. I’m just on my way to my parents for dinner I’m running late after office work so please excuse me, but I look forward to the morning. I’ll come get you” he says with a wave before he jogs off towards the lake path.
Smiling after him I look up into the darkening sky, “peaceful” Ki murmurs to me happily.
After sitting outside for a little while I wander back to my room determined to enjoy a nice bubble bath and get an early night ready for a new week. Lying in bed later on I can’t help but drift off to sleep happily recounting the time id spent with Jax.
Waking up to the noise of my alarm I roll over turning it off, remembering I have sparring in 30 mins I jump up and run for a quick rinse in the shower. Throwing my hair up into a messy bun and getting some training shorts and crop top on I fill my water waiting for Ajax. At 6am on the dot I hear a soft knock on the door and walk over opening it to a smiley Jax. “You look awake this morning” he comments as he stands there in some training shorts and vest top showing off his large muscles.
“I’m a morning person” I shrug, “plus I enjoyed an early evening, I feel well rested for once. You look pretty fresh yourself.”
“I’m the same, I’ve always struggled sleeping in normally waking before my alarm which I used to hate as a teenager” he laughs as he runs his hand through his tousled hair.
Slipping my trainers on I shut the door quietly behind me as we wander downstairs. “Fancy jogging to the training ground as a bit of a warm up?” I ask.
“I like your thinking” he answers as we break into a light jog.
“So how often did you spar at your last pack?” He asks intrigued.
“Everyday, I ran the training program there and it’s a bit of a passion of ours. Kia loves it” I let him know.
“So I should be expecting good things then” he smirks.
“Just have to wait and see won’t you” I wink at him as we reach the entrance.
We do a few stretches before heading to the sparring area, “ok we can just go pretty simple if you’d like, first I’ll attack and you defend then we can switch?” Jax suggests.
“Perfect” I reply getting myself into a defensive position.
