Stars Above Lonely Nights — Michael Brown novel Chapter 49

Nova POV:

“Wait Jax..” I say quickly as he opens the car door for me. Hearing me speak he looks at me questioningly, “I know we have to go see the council this week and we have to spend time away from the pack. After the attack on Flo and Andrew I’m just as concerned about you leaving it, but I have an idea.”

“What is it?” He asks quickly intrigued.

“Obviously I think it would be beneficial if Laurence stays with the pack, having your Alpha, Luna and two Gammas off of pack land it’s a given he needs to stay. But what if your brothers come back earlier and with the help of your parents the pack would feel like we are making sure they have the support needed?” I suggest.

Hearing that he pauses whilst his eyes brighten, “that’s a good suggestion. A very good suggestion” he says with wonder.

“We need to speak to Alpha Henry again before we leave” I insist, “get your brothers there as well.”

“My logical Luna” he says dropping a chaste kiss on my lips before shutting the door and turning to walk towards the pack house again. “How did I not think of that?” He mumbles to himself.

Reaching a hand out to caress his shoulder I smile slightly, “I think it’s safe to say a lot has happened, I should have thought about it earlier myself but I have a lot running through my mind” I admit.

Seeing Axel in the entrance Jax waves him over, “where’s Alpha?” He asks quickly.

“In his office, why?” Axel asks curiously.

“Get Evan and head up there as soon as possible” Jax instructs before leading me upstairs. Knocking loudly three times we hear his uncles voice shout for us to enter.

“Ah I thought you both were leaving” he says in surprise as he stands up from his desk.

“We were but Nova had a suggestion” Jax replies.

“You did?” Henry says turning to me with interest.

“Yes Sir. As we mentioned we have to go to the council this week and will be spending a few days away from the pack, after the attack I assume you can understand our unease with being away. Not only that but it would mean both the pack Gammas and the Alpha and Luna would be off of the territory” I points out.

“It’s not ideal” Henry agrees.

“We would have Beta Laurence there to run the pack and we don’t doubt him for a second, but for added strength and support i thought it could be beneficial for both Axel and Evan to be there. They could work alongside Jaxs parents who have also offered to help in our absence” I explain as understanding dawns on Henrys face. “We also have the Beta Female and Gamma Female who are pregnant, they are more than able to help the pack but Goddess forbid if there is an attack they can’t fight.”

“That is a very valid explanation, I know we agreed for them to come next week however I think they should travel to you this evening. If they could return when you are back from your visit to the council I’d appreciate it, I need them to finish a few things up for me before they go to your pack permanently” he says.

Hearing a sigh of relief from Jax Henry turns to him with a playful smirk, “did you doubt I’d allow it?”

Swing a grimace cross Jaxs face I pause, “no, not you. I don’t know how my father will react.”

“You’re the Alpha Jax, not David. He needs to remember that” Henry says bluntly.

“Is there something I need to know here Jax?” I ask quietly sensing the tension.

“With which bit? That you can mindljnk me despite not being in my pack, that your wolf can mindlink? Or that she can command an Alpha?” He asks in amusement.

“All of it” I chuckle quietly.

“I don’t understand but what i do know is you’re strong. You have this aura about you, it’s pure and powerful. Plus my wolf knows to respect yours, for an Alpha wolf to be happy to bow down to another you must be something special” he points out logically.

Nodding my head without saying more he smiles with a soft shrug, “all in good time Luna Nova” he assures me, “no rush I’ll be here when you can talk.”

“Thank you Alpha” I say quietly.

“Thanks Uncle” Jax says whilst coming and wrapping his arm around my shoulder, “we appreciate everything.”

“I will let Axel and Evan know once you leave, they are outside the office. They will be at your pack by 8pm” he says whilst standing. “We will speak in due course.”

“Thank you Alpha Henry” I say with a gracious smile.

“It’s my honour, travel safe” he says as we open the door.

“We will be seeing you soon” Jax says clapping both his brothers on their shoulders as we pass making their eyes widen curiously.

“Let’s go my Luna” he says as we reach the car where he opens my door like a gentleman.
