Nova POV:
“Sit the both of you, we’ve got some stuff to sort out” Jax says motioning to the chairs in front of his desk as he takes a seat.
“Yes boss” Laurence salutes as he sits down and leans forward on his knees ready to discuss business.
“So, as we have Caroline arriving this afternoon I have spoken to the pack hospital and arranged a room to be ready for her. I have it as a private room due to the sensitivity of this situation and the fact she is human” Jax starts.
“That’s sensible” Laurence agrees as I nod in agreement.
“We also need to discuss the Luna ceremony” he grins turning to look at me.
“Well I’ve had plenty of people offer to help. I’ve got Alice, Naomi and Flo all very keen to help which is good. I was also planning on asking for your mums help and input when they come for dinner, what do you think?” I check with Jax.
“Well that’s answered my next question he chuckles. She would love to help, I’ll wait for you to ask her” he decides. “Next..the council.”
“Have you spoken with them?” Laurence asks.
“They called after breakfast, Nova and myself have been named as witnesses for Roses trial. Apparently Alpha Axton has said he cannot deal with her fairly but he has doubts that it was a true mate bond. So for them to investigate they are holding a trail intervention” Jax says.
“Trial intervention?” Laurence asks.
“Apparently it’s new” he shrugs, “basically because Axton has admitted he cannot deal with this with a level head the elders will investigate. They have a witch which will use an enchantment to gain the truth.”
“Could they not just command her?” I ask confused.
“That’s what I said. Apparently its different and we will find that out when we are there. But they have also spoken about Nova and her father. If we travel in 3 days then we can speak to them before hand about their findings on Guardian Wolves but also inform them of Kingsley. He will be accompanying us, it’s one of the reasons he has travelled back today” he explains.
“Ok two birds one stone as they say” Laurence shrugs.
“Is that ok Nova?” Jax checks.
“Yes, one question though. What about Caroline?” I lean forward.
“I’ve spoken to Dr George, he has informed me that if he is successful in waking her then it will take her 2-3 days to come around due to the length of her coma. He said he would be comfortable with us speaking to her by Friday, so we have 5 days” he informs us.
“Right that makes sense. Well it sounds like you have this all covered Alpha” I tease.
“I have a question” Laurence starts before continuing, “will your father be in any bother about not letting the council know he is a Guardian Wolf?”
I start tapping my knee as I do when I’m thinking sometimes, “I’m concerned about that, but..there is also the reason that he didn’t do it because of the moon goddess visiting his wolf. So, I guess what I’m trying to say is we won’t know until it’s time.”
“There is nothing we can do until then” Jax agrees.
“I hate waiting” Laurence mumbles.
“Don’t we all” I laugh.
“Shall we do a run of the perimeter?” Jax suggests standing up and seeing the sun shining bright outside.
“I could do with a nice stretch of my legs” Laurence agrees eagerly. “Plus I’m intrigued to see Kia.”
“Me too, she looked bigger yesterday” Jax reminded me.
“Oh we have changed in more ways than one” Kia links us all making us jump slightly.
“Ki! Sometimes we could do with some warning” I scold her aloud making the men laugh.
“Fine” she huffs to me in feigned annoyance making me roll my eyes.
As we reach the forest line we all separate and quickly shift. As Kia pads out I see Zeus pause mid step as he takes in her size.
“Fucking hell Luna, you’re huge..no offence” Laurence links us in amazement. Padding over to stand beside Zeus I internally gasp as I realise we are now the same height as him.
“Ki you look so strong, absolutely stunning” I hear Jax link us making Kia preen at the compliment. “Shall we run?”
“Yes” Kia growls eagerly to everyone before leaping off the mark and zipping between the trees of the forest. After a few minutes of getting lost in running I hear Jax link me.
“I know you’re enjoying yourself Ki but we can’t keep up” he chuckles, “fancy slowing down a little?”
Hearing that Kia skids to a stop before spinning round and gazing at where we came from, about 30 seconds later Zeus bursts through the tree line and immediately comes up to us rubbing himself against Kia as they purr happily together.
