Stars Above Lonely Nights — Michael Brown novel Chapter 41

Nova POV:

Breakfast was a bit of a tense affair on my end, I tried to relax and engage in conversation with our families but my mind kept wandering to what was to come.

“You ok Nova you seem a bit distracted this morning?” Luca asks me quietly.

Pausing for a moment I look around the table seeing everyone is busy eating. “Do you fancy going for a walk?” I ask turning to look at him.

“Yeah why not, let’s go” he says before letting Sophie know he’ll be back shortly.

“I’m just going for a walk with Luca” I whisper to Jax as I stand. Seeing understanding in his eyes I smile softly at him before standing.

“Thank you for breakfast everyone it was lovely, Luca and I are just going for a walk we will be back soon” I say before we walk out the hall quietly.

As we head towards the forest I lead the way towards the lake where I know it will be quiet and I can calm my busy mind. “So Caroline is coming to the pack this afternoon, Axton called and he has arranged the transfer. They will be attempting to wake her up in the morning I believe” I say to Luca as we take a seat by the lake.

“Ah..” he says as takes in what I’ve said. “How do you feel?”

“I’m not too sure if I’m honest. I know this has to be done and I’m happy that we are starting the process of finding out more but I’m also apprehensive” I sigh as I watch two butterflies dance together in the morning sun.

“I think you need to go in there with your boss like attitude, you’re a badass Nova but you’re also understanding, kind and patient they all level out perfectly. What you need to remember is that there is a very strong possibility your mum may still be alive, I don’t want to say she is for definite as until we speak to the council we don’t know for sure that it affects a human wolf mateship the same. But if there is a chance she is and that waking Caroline may help..then it needs to be done” he says with conviction.

“I know it needs to be done, doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll enjoy the outcome” I mumble quietly.

Grasping my hand in his I see pain reflected in his eyes, “losing our parents was the most difficult day in my entire life” he starts, “but you have the chance of finding your mum..I would do anything to have our mum back. I would travel the entire world to help her if necessary. You have to do this Nova.”

“I know” I smile gently at him, “I’m going to go through with it, there is no way I wouldn’t. I’m just trying to keep control of my emotions. The amount of possible outcomes it could lead to it increasing and it makes me nervous not knowing what is coming” I tell him honestly.

“Don’t over think it, what did dad use to say..one step at a time. So..first we get Caroline here, secondly we try to wake her, thirdly..we find out what she knows” Luca tells me.

“Yes..you’re right” I whisper before going quiet for a moment.

“So..care to tell me about Sophie?” I ask chuckling as I see the love struck smile plastered on his face.

“She’s amazing, she’s intelligent, witty and absolutely stunning” he grins.

“She’s my sister, I mean surely some of those things run in the family” I joke.

“Oh goddess I’m going to have to make sure I now highlight that you’re my adopted sister and we share no blood relation. Can you image the looks id get if I introduced you as my sister and I’m mated to yours” he groans.

Snorting out a laugh I shake my head at him, “that is a very good point. I for one believe it’s all part of the moon Goddesses plan..surely you being mates with my sister means something.”

“And for this I think it’s your turn to be right. Either way I’m so glad I’ve finally met her..I was beginning to lose hope” he admits quietly.

“I know” I murmur making him look at me in shock.

Shrugging I look out at the lake again before speaking, “I’m your sister, I grew up with you and can tell every emotion you have going on in those eyes of yours. Id see your face when there would be new matings, you were happy of course you were, but you couldn’t hide the pain from me.”

Laughing lightly he nodded, “I should have told you from the start.”
