Jax POV:
My jaw almost hits the flaw at Novas admission.
“What?” I ask in shock.
With a grimace she looks at me as she speaks, “he was old enough to be my father plus he was ridiculously S**ist and as he so eloquently put it at the time “wanted a hot young jewel of a Luna to show off.”
“That’s disgusting” I growl,
“His mate died in a rogue attack 10 years previous and everything I had heard of him
since was unappealing. He kept the information he had a daughter who was close to
my age a secret from me” she reveals.
“I wonder why” I drawl.
“I would never have said yes” she shrugs.
“You did embarrass him though” Martin points out with a chuckle.
“He embarrassed himself, I mean who proposes to someone when you’ve had a total of 2 conversations and of all the places he chose to do it at a ball surrounded by other Alphas” she says with disgust.
“True” Martin agrees. “The kick was my favourite part of the night.”
“Again..I’m lost” I admit as I struggle to keep up.
“He didn’t take my rejection well, he grasped my arm and tried to pull me against him so I kicked him where it would really hurt” Nova says with a slight smirk.
“With her full strength at the time” Martin points out proudly.
“He deserved it” she says with conviction.
“So there is a high chance Rose was sent to upset your mateship” I point out as Nova nods in agreement.
“Yes” she says with a sigh.
“Have you seen him since?” I ask quietly.
“Oh goddess no, and for that at least I’m thankful” she says quickly as she holds my hand.
“Well that’s another person I’m going to have to put in place if I ever get the displeasure of meeting him” I sigh running a hand through my hair agitatedly.
“He’s not the only one” Martin says making me growl as Nova smoothly interjects.
“I think that’s enough for now Martin, Jax has got the message” she says firmly.
“Sorry Alpha” he says and at least he has the decency to look slightly embarrassed at his confession’s.
“I’ll tell you later Jax but it’s nothing to worry about” she links me reassuringly as I try to move my mind away from others liking Nova in that manner.
Sitting myself up I shrug it off before looking at Martin. “Shall we meet this evening to interrogate Anthony?”
“Yes, Johnathon is ready when you are so you can head down. Nova knows where to go, I’ll meet you outside the cells at 6pm sharp” he says as he stands and offers me his hand.
Shaking it firmly I hold my hand for Nova to take as we utter our goodbyes.
After walking quietly for a few moments Nova looks at me and suddenly speaks, “I’ve had 4 mateship proposals since I turned 18. It’s one of the reasons I agreed to become Axtons chosen mate, but I want to assure you I never considered any others.
The only two I’ve ever been intimate with is you and Axton. I’m sorry I don’t like to mention it but it’s the truth.”
With a little grimace I nod before squeezing her close to my side, “I had Genevieve before you and a couple of women from other packs when I was a teen. But as you know you’re the only one that’s ever made me satisfied” I admit. “So I would never judge you Nova, but to think others may still want you makes me feel possessive.”
“I know” she says with a soft smile, “but you’re my last Jax, you’re my everything.”
Stopping and wrapping my arms round her waist I claim her lips in a hungry kiss as I pull her flush to my chest, “and you’re mine” I whisper as we pull away for breath.
