Jax POV:
Watching Nova put Alpha Axton and his new Luna in their place was strangely satisfying, and to see her display of strength made my wolf and I a bit too excited that we go carried away by hugging her. “She is going to be such an asset for our pack” Zeus admired to me. “Yes she is, but first and foremost let’s help her settle into the pack, it’s going to be a big adjustment I’m sure” I say back to him.
“How are you both doing?” I ask the ladies as we leave the territory behind.
“I’m strangely quite alright” Alice smiles at me in the mirror, “I couldn’t have stayed there under Axton as Alpha and he knew that, Nova will always be my Luna.” She adds on with a large smile.
“And you Miss Nova?” I ask looking at her in the passenger seat, aware of her title change.
“Just Nova now Alpha” she says with a small smile, “I could have done without the drama at the end but it’s done now, although I can’t lie, it was nice to remind Axton who the real strength was in the pack” she adds with a tinker of a laugh.
“I found it thoroughly entertaining” I can’t help but grin at her, “now I know you both have announced yourselves as rogues so your scent is beginning to change. I have already spoken to my Beta and explained the situation over the past few days, he has the initiation trinket set up in my office ready for when we arrive if that is ok with you both.”
“Thank you Alpha” they both murmur at me.
“Nova I have your pills here ready for you to take” Alice says quietly to her reaching her hand over to pass them to her friend. updated by Jobnib.com
“Thank you Alice” Nova murmurs as she takes a swig of water and swallows them quickly. Seeing my intrigued look she explains, “it’s to help with the awakening of my wolf. Obviously I can shift but I did mention to you how when I turn 25 she will truly be awakened. Over the last few months she has grown considerably and doesn’t seem to be slowing so this is to help with the shifting pains, I can shift incredibly quick and quietly however the pain is increasing each time. I’ve been reassured that it is what humans refer to as “growing pains” and we refer to them as “shifting pains” similar to those of our first shift which makes sense, once I turn 25 and Kia is her true self I’m confident they will stop.”
“Kia?” I ask quietly.
With a large smile Nova turns to me, her cheeks flushing happily, “my wolf, I call her Ki and she allows those close to her to call her that. But Kia is her true name. It actually means mountain which I always found amusing being the Luna of the White Mountain Pack, now I believe it’s down to her sheer size being a she wolf” so laughs. “It’s funny, I’m so petite and well, Ki is definitely not. I’m not quite sure how we are one.”
“Beautiful name” I hear Zeus purr in my mind as I can’t help but smile and agree. Realising I haven’t felt this comfortable around a woman in a long time has me lost in thought and before I know it we are pulling up to my pack ground gates. Seeing the guards wave in greeting I raise my hand as we roll through the entrance, pulling up at the pack house I see my Beta Laurence waiting for us. Stepping out I walk round and open the ladies doors extending a hand to both of them, “welcome to the Midnight Sky Pack house” I say with pride.
Seeing them both gazing up at the pack house in admiration they then turn to me as Alice squeals, “it’s stunning!”
“Thank you” I say graciously, “this houses the Alpha, Beta family and my two Gammas, we also have guest quarters for those visiting the pack. For now we have a suite prepared for you each here, in the future if you would like a house it can be arranged.” I add on almost reluctant in my admission of them potentially moving.
As we move to the front steps Laurence extends his hand to Nova first bowing his head respectfully, “it’s lovely to meet you Miss Nova, welcome to the Midnight Sky pack.” Turning his attention to Alice he does the same, “I have asked my mate Naomi to ready some food for us all to enjoy. If you wish I can show you to your suites to freshen up before hand?”
“That would be lovely Beta, thank you” Nova sweetly says. “But please, Nova is fine. I may have been a Luna previously but here I’m just Nova.”
