Nova POV:
Waking up I stretch and moan in content as I feel sparks erupt around me.
“Morning birthday lady” Jaxs deep voice grumbles from behind me. Rolling over I smile up at him as I take in his sleepy state. “I like your morning hair” I comment making him chuckle.
“I think you’ve roughed it up a bit more than usual” he says making me blush lightly from his words.
“Let’s go for breakfast” he suddenly says as he stops rubbing circles on my back and jumps out of bed. I pout making him laugh, “I want to make an announcement” he laughs wriggling his eyebrows as he points to his neck.
At that my eyes widen in excitement as I stand and rush over to look at his mark. “It’s beautiful” I breath taking in the white and black wolves wound together with the letters J & N underneath them. Seeing a small crown in the corner of the mark I frown slightly.
“What is it?” He asks feeling my confusion through the bond.
Walking us over to the mirror I see my mark is the same, pointing at the crown I see him take it in with awe before also feeling his confusion filter through the bond.
“I’ll have to speak to Laurence, he’s a bit of an expert in these things. But I assume it’s because of you being a Guardian Wolf. Either way..it’s gorgeous” he smiles before dropping a soft kiss over my mark.
“If you do that we won’t be leaving this room” I warn teasingly as his eyes darken at the thought. Chuckling he pulls away before saying “well as much as I love you I’d really rather keep my balls and if I risk upsetting Alice over your tight schedule today she will definitely ruin them for me” he shudders at the thought as I burst out laughing.
“Did she threaten the Alpha?” I mock.
“She is one feisty she Wolf” he comments as he pulls some clothes out of the wardrobe.
“Don’t you want to shower?” I ask, seeing him look up confused I elaborate, “we stink of sex.”
Hearing that he smirks proudly, pulling his top over his head and putting some casual jeans on he shrugs, “nope. I’d rather let everyone know, call it Alpha pride if you will.”
“Of course” I reply drying rolling my eyes before pulling a light summer dress over my head and braiding my hair quickly. “Ready” I comment as I walk out the closet to see him taming his hair slightly.
“You look perfect” he compliments me as we leave the room smiling. “You ready to be introduced as the Luna?” He asks.
“I am” I reply confidently, “I like knowing my place, and unlike last time I know what I’m doing. I just hope the pack has faith in me.”
“They already do trust me” he says.
Walking into the dining hall hand in hand I see many pack members glance at ours hands hiding small smiles. “I think they’ve caught on already” Jax links me making me giggle lightly at the thought.
“Happy birthday Nova” Naomi squeals jumping up from the table and pulling me into a crushing hug.
“Thank you Naomi” I say graciously as I take a seat opposite her.
“Happy birthday Luna” Laurence comments smiling knowingly, blushing I shake my head laughing.
“Thank you Beta” I say back making him chuckle.
“Here’s some food love” Jax says as he places a plate in front of me. Before he sits he claps his hands getting everybody’s attention before his voice booms out “Morning everyone! I just have a quick announcement to make, as you know today is Novas birthday. I hope you’re all looking forward to the party later on. Before I let you go about your day..” with this he clasps my hand pulling me up beside him giving me a dazzling smile as he does so, “I want to let you all know I have found my fated mate..please can you all welcome your new Luna..Luna Nova!” With that he pulls my braid aside proudly showing our new marks as the dining hall erupts in thunderous applause and cheers at the news. Hearing a barrage of congratulations through the mindlink I blush at the compliments.
“Thank you so much for all your kind words. I can’t wait to help Jax with the pack and continue getting to know you all. I look forward to seeing you all later” I say softly.
“Enjoy your breakfast” Jax calls before sitting down as I do the same.
“Don’t think I’ve ever seen you so happy” Laurence muses to Jax playfully.
“Probably” Jax agrees through a mouthful of food.
“Oh I’m so happy” Naomi squeals before clasping at her stomach, “damn they must agree” she laughs softly as the babies make their presence known.
“There you are, I’ve been looking for you everywhere” I hear Alice exclaim as she comes rushing to the table. “You’ve made her late” she says shooting Jax as accusatory glare.
He chuckles nervously holding his hands up in surrender, “sorry Alice, as soon as she’s eaten shes all yours.”
