Stars Above Lonely Nights — Michael Brown novel Chapter 65

Nova POV:

Gasping I stumble back staring into Johnathons bright eyes as he looks pained from Jaxs words.

“Yes” he whispers after a moment of silence. “But please Nova..you have to listen to me.”

“You’re my uncle?” I ask shocked.

“Yes” he says with a slight flush standing his cheeks. “But I didn’t know until the moon Goddess visited me.”

“Maybe explain everything from the start Elder Johnathon” Jax says quietly as he holds my waist lending me his strength.

“My parents were killed after Kingsley was born, they were attacked by hunters and died protecting us, I doubt he will have any memory of them. We were placed left at an orphanage by their Beta and not long after we were separated. I tried to find him as the years went on but the Moon Goddess visited me one night and told me for his protection and that of his future family I had to concentrate on my own path. Every decision I have made till now has weighed heavily on my mind as to if I would ever meet him again” he says sadly. “When you came into my world I started to realise my purpose, I guided you whenever I could and I offered my advice and support when needed. But the Moon Goddess had made me promise to never tell you who I was until that knowledge would be presented to you..or you figured it out.”

“You’re my family” I cry as Jax rubs my arm comfortingly.

“I am, and I am so proud to be” he assures me. “I swore the oath to pledge my loyalty to you.”

“Oh my goddess” I whisper as I stare at him. With a quiet sob I throw myself towards him as he welcomes me with his strong arms.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you Nova, but it was safer this way. For both of us” he mumbles into my ear.

“Does anyone else know?” Jax asks.

“Elder Martin made the same connection you did but said it wasn’t his place to tell you” he says as I pull back and wipe my eyes quickly.

Smiling softly I chuckle as understanding hits me as to how they worked so well together to aid me. “That makes sense” I say shrugging.

“Kia did you ever feel the family bond with him?” I ask her quietly.

“No..but I think that’s to do with the Moon Goddess” she says thoughtfully, “we feel it now though. I have always trusted him.” It’s true, ever since Jax vocalised his realisation I felt the family bond snap into place as my uncle by blood was stood in front of me.

“We’ve gone from having only Luca to having a proper family” I whisper in wonder to Kia as she purrs with happiness.

“Wait..you said Kingsley” Johnathon says spinning to Jax who stands wide eyed in shock at what he’s done. “How do you know his name?”

“Crap” he mutters running a hand through his hair again.

“You’ve seen him?” Johnathan asks grasping my hands.

“He’s at our home” Kia links him making him laugh out loud.

“I thought this day may never come, my brother is home” he says in amazement. “No one will hear anything in this room by the way..you have my word.”

“How is he?” He continues.

“He’s good..considering” I say wondering what more I should say. “Just tell him” Kia tells me with a slight huff.
