Jax POV:

Jogging to my parents I can’t help smiling as I replay the few hours I’d spent with Nova. As if on cue my phone pings and I look down to see she’d sent me the photo of us from earlier making me immediately save it as my new background.

Still looking at the photo as I walk into my parents house in a daze I jump when I feel my dads hand land on my shoulder as he says hello.

“Oh..hey dad. Sorry own world there” I laugh off.

“What had you so engrossed in your phone son?” He asks sternly.

I don’t answer I simply look down at my phone before handing it over to him. He grasps it quizzically before looking at it and freezing.

“Everything alright in here?” I hear my mums soft voice ask me, “hello dear, it’s lovely to see you.”

“David?” She asks concerned as my father doesn’t move.

“Yes love?” He asks snapping his head up to look at her.

“What’s going on?” She asks slowly looking between us. Gesturing for him to show her he simply grasps her hand and pulls her to his side before shoving the phone in her eye line.

“Oh my goddess” she gasps looking at the photo. “Oh hunny she’s gorgeous” she squeals excitedly.

“It’s Nova” I explain quietly.

Hearing that my parents faces split into huge smiles, “oh you both look so happy, in that photo I can see my relaxed young boy again. The life in your eyes is bright” my mum praises.

“Thanks mum” I smile at her.

“That’s an amazing photo son, we can’t wait to meet her” my father says happily.

“So what brings you here tonight son?” My mother asks as she potters into the kitchen to fix us a drink.

I gulp as I run a hand through my hair, “I just fancied a night away from the pack” I try to shrug off.

Looking up I see both my parents looking at me knowing I’m lying but choosing not to say anything. Standing up I walk over and grab my drink uttering my thanks to mum before dropping on the sofa and relaxing.

“We should be with Nova” Zeus grumbles in my head.

“I just can’t” I snap back before taking a breath, “sorry” I mumble but he’s silent on me. After watching tv for a couple of hours I excuse myself before heading upstairs to my room here.

“Will we see you for breakfast?” My mum calls up after me.

“I don’t know” I call back down before closing the door softly behind me. Slumping on the bed I quickly strip off and climb under the covers. I toss and turn as sleep refuses to take me. Finally giving up I stand and walk over to the window to look up into the dark sky.

Feeling a sense of anxiousness wash through me I run a hand through my hair in frustration as I wonder about how Nova is doing. Glancing at the time I see it’s almost 2 in the morning.

“Why don’t we just go see her?” Zeus grumbles to me. I shut him back trying to calm my racing heart as I start to ask myself the same thing.

“FUCK” I exclaim in frustration as I give in and before I can think more I’ve opened the window and jumped down. Without thinking Zeus takes over as we race back towards the pack house, as we pass where Nova and I sat earlier we take a large inhale of her enticing scent and it spurs us on. Shifting by the pack house door I freeze as her scent surrounds me, making everything else fade. My eyes widen in realisation as I race up the stairs to my room, hearing her steady heartbeat I can sense she’s asleep so I open the door quietly. Looking at her cuddling my pillow I smile in satisfaction as I realise even when she is sleeping she searches for my scent. Walking over I sit beside her and brush a lock of her hair from over her eyes. Feeling a strong shock surge through me blood immediately rushes to my cock making it spring to life.

Hearing me gasp Novas eyes flash open as she jumps up from where she was laying, “what?” She mumbles sleepily, “Jax?”

Looking at her in amazement as she rubs her eyes I reach my hand out and grasp her face gently guiding her to look at me embracing the sparks I get from her touch, as her blue eyes connect with mine I feel the bond snap into place as her mouth opens in shock.
