Stars Above Lonely Nights — Michael Brown novel Chapter 57

Jax POV:

“Well” I drawl out looking around the room, “that answers some questions.”

“Was not something I was expecting” Kingsley frowns as he looks at the door his daughter just left through. “Although I’m feeling very proud of her right now” he admits smiling slightly.

“Good on her” Laurence shrugs, “shows she is a Beta female.”

“True” Nova agrees with pride in her eyes. “They must know she is your daughter though. I mean why did Hannah go through the farce of befriending her if that wasn’t the case? Her wolf has been bound so she’s not a risk in that sense and she didn’t know me at that point. They must know, we will have to talk about it again with Sophie in the morning, she might have more information from Hannah. It’s also worth looking through her phone before we leave, Axel could you make sure it’s not possible for the hunters to trace the phone?”

“I’ll sort that tonight ready for you in the morning” he assures us.

“So it’s actually you Kingsley they’ve been trying to find” I muse thoughtfully. “But why not Nova?”

“Because they have been moulding me” she points out, “I’ve never opposed them so that’s why. Perhaps if I had it would be a different story, I’m starting to think more and more that they were keeping me around for their benefit.”

“Do you think it’s wise to go to the council?” I ask wearily.

“We don’t take dad” Nova says sharply, “not a chance. If they were using me to try find him then we need to prevent that from happening and not tell them we have found him. We go and ask for the information Elder Johnathon has on Guardian Wolves and we will look in to it, I am genuinely intrigued to know more this isn’t only for my father’s benefit after all.”

“I think only Nova and I go to the council, along with Luca. I don’t think it’s wise for Sophie to be travelling to the council because they will ask questions” I say sitting up and clasping my hands together as I think through things.

“What do you say when they see Luca is mated?” Laurence asks.

With a sigh I look up before speaking, “I think we push the truth slightly. As she mentioned being nervous around packs when she first got here we should just say she isn’t yet confident enough for a visit to the council and Luca is slowly acclimatising her to the role as Beta female.”

“And if they ask why?” Laurence probes.

“We can’t say she was a rogue and we can’t mention her nervousness was around packs, we just make it a general statement of gaining confidence” I say, “but we could imply that she was of a lower rank and it’s a big step up. They don’t need to know more.”

“I think that should work” Nova agrees. “I doubt they will fixate on Luca being mated much with everything else we are there for.”

“If they do seem like they’re asking too many questions we simply steer them away from the conversation” I suggest.

“What about the way they are going to gain the truth?” Laurence asks reminding me.

“Only Rose is being questioned, none of us are there for that reason we are simply there to verify information and give our versions” I say thinking aloud, “Rose won’t know Luca is mated so she won’t give it away whatever their method and we are perfectly within our right to refuse if they do ask as it wasn’t requested of us.”

Looking around the room I see everyone nod as they agree.

“We are clear then?” I ask sternly.

“Yes Alpha” the room choruses.

“Ok Nova I’ve linked the doctors. It’s been a long day and even Alphas need rest, they are going to wake Caroline in the morning we need to be there at 6:30am” I say stifling a yawn.

“Thank you Jax” she says with relief in her voice.

“Hmmm” she hums before biting gently on my mark making me groan from her touch, feeling the sparks fly I immediately harden in my trousers as she smirks at me all my tiredness suddenly forgotten.

“But I want to make you feel good first” she murmurs before sliding off of me and dropping to her knees. Running her hands up the inside of my thighs I hiss in anticipation as her delicate hands release me from my confines. Grasping the base of my shaft she leans forward and flicks her tongue out tasting the precum. “Delicious” she whispers looking in my eyes before she licks her way up my shaft and swallows me whole eliciting a guttural groan from myself. “Fuck Nova” I moan as I watch her bob her head sucking me deep into her throat, reaching up she grasps my hand and guides it to her head making my eyes widen in excitement. Wrapping her hair around my fist I hold her head steady as I raise my hips to thrust into her mouth.

“Goddess that’s hot” I say huskily as I admire her taking my whole length without gagging whilst maintaining eye contact through her lashes, she reaches a hand down to gently tease my balls making my thrusts increase.

“Go for it Jax, I won’t break” she links me making me gasp in pleasure.

Standing up I hold her steady by her hair as I plunge into her mouth making her hum against my shaft increasing my pleasure.

“Mine” I growl possessively as I feel my balls tighten from her touch and I thrust deep into her throat as my body convulses in pleasure.

Releasing me with a pop I pull her to my feet whilst I hastily attempt to get my still hardened shaft back into my briefs.

“Bedroom” I growl before lifting her into my arms.

“Why not here?” She asks cheekily eyeing the office.

“Because my Luna, by the time I’m done with you you won’t have the energy to walk, you’ll be thankful later” I promise as our lust filled gazes collide. Hearing her breath hitch I smirk before giving her a passionate kiss.

“Ok..bedroom. Now.” She orders as the scent of her arousal grows stronger.

“Your wish is my command” I grin.
