Nova POV:
I must have dozed off on the drive home as next thing I know I have Jax gently shaking me to let me know we have arrived.
“Feel better for some more sleep?” He asks gently.
“Yeah I do” I say stifling a yawn. “Sorry it’s been an eventful few days I think it’s just catching up with me.”
Casting his caring gaze on me he smiles softly, “I know love you don’t have to apologise” he assures me.
“So what next?” I sigh as I turn my gaze to our packhouse.
“Talk to Laurence” he says simply as he leads me inside clasping my hand tightly in his own. On the way to the office we stop and talk to pack members and ensure they are feeling ok after recent events.
“I think we should hold that pack meeting this evening” I say to Jax as we reach the top of the stairs.
“Already organised it” he says with a playful nudge.
“Good thinking” I wink as I walk through the door he holds open. As I take in the scene in front of me I can’t help but snort with laughter, sitting with his feet on Jaxs desk crossed legged and snoring is Laurence.
Still giggling I see Jax walk around and grab the glass of water off of the desk, “this will teach him” he mutters to himself before standing next to Laurence and pouring the water over his face.
“W..what?” Laurence splutters jumping up from the chair in shock before freezing as he sees us both.
“Sleeping on the job?” Jax growls.
With a gulp Laurence shakes his head slowly.
“You were” Jax says bluntly.
“Sorry Alpha, I’ve had barely any sleep since the attack and I thought I’d just calm my mind for a few moments, I didn’t mean to fall asleep” Laurence says apologetically casting his eyes down.
They pause for a moment with Jax studying him before he lets out a deep chuckle, “as long as you’ve done the work I don’t give a shit to be honest. I know you’ve been working hard I was just pulling your leg.”
“Fucking Alpha” Laurence mutters narrowing his eyes at his friend.
“Although if I ever catch you with you feet on my desk again we will have a problem” Jax smirks before taking a seat and grabbing the paperwork in front of him.
“Fill me in then” he instructs Laurence as he’s back to his business self, shaking my head at the two of them and sit myself down.
“Your parents have been staying in a family suite upstairs, they are happy to help whilst you’re away. I’ve also managed to track the caddy that escaped when Alpha Henry recused Flo” he starts.
“I didn’t realise the caddy had gotten away” I interject.
“It was left there, but since then it has been taken away” Laurence explains. “It was actually a plan of mine, I thought if we left it then it may be taken and may lead us to the hunters.”
“You know where it is?” I ask.
With a nod of his head he smiles knowingly, “warrior Elliot put a tracker on it before leaving, I’ve been tracking it since. Nothing of note so far but I’m hoping in time we will gain something from it.”
“Smart thinking I like it” I praise him.
“I try” he smirks before continuing, “Andrew is recovering well. He’s been awake since this morning and his wolf is healing him well, his shoulder is taking a little more time due to the exposure to silver but it will heal he will just have a scar left.”
