Stars Above Lonely Nights — Michael Brown novel Chapter 72

Nova POV:

“How have the hunters got themselves intertwined with wolves?” Kia growls to me in anger. “They’re known enemies, hunters literally kill wolves”

“Guards bring Alpha Jacob down here” I order without taking my gaze off of Frost as he looks up at me in fear. Hearing him be seized and dragged over I finally move my eyes to him and see him shaking in terror.

“Was the other man accompanying the witch a hunter?” I command making his body shake further.

“I don’t know” he forces out, “he was definitely human but I had limited interaction with him. We took the offer and that was that, any conversations after that point were with the witch.”

“If they were also wanting me then why did you agree to try and get me for yourself?” I ask bewildered.

“I thought we could trick them, I’ve seen your wolf Nova and although I may not know what wolf you are exactly I do know that you’re blessed” he says making everyone around us gasp.

“I want everyone out bar the council members, my mate, Alpha Axton and Luca, plus the ones restrained” I growl loudly. “No one speak a word of what has transpired so far” I command as I look around at those who begin to file out.

“You knew I was blessed but you thought I was a “small weak woman” did you not?” I ask.

“I thought you may be a healer” he whispers.

“I’m not, but I will say healers are far from weak” I point out.

“I was wrong Luna Nova please forgive me” he says as he looks up at me pitifully.

“I don’t forgive traitors” I say simply as Kia howls in agreement.

I look to Jax as he had come to stand beside me showing his support whilst glaring at Jacob on the floor. “You endangered my mate” he snarls as his eyes flash with those of Zeus causing the broken Alpha to whimper.

“Did you not for one moment think it was highly suspicious that a witch and a human wanted to help you acquire me as a mate so badly?” I ask.

“My brother said it would be better this way” he mutters as he avoids looking at Frost.

“How long have you worked with the hunters Frost?” I command.

“20months” he admits.

“Jacob and Rose, when did they approach you?” I command.

“6months ago” Rose answers.

“Did you agree to work with them further?” I command again.

“No, breaking the matebond between Alpha Axton and yourself was our only point of discussion” Jacob replies.

Hearing that I laugh coldly, “you were used” I hiss. “Most likely your brother is the one that planned it.”

Seeing the look that crosses Frosts face at my words I know I’ve hit the nail on the head with my assumption. “You are a member of the council, one who people are meant to respect and be able to communicate with to solve problems and celebrate success. How could you do this?” I ask him.

“I was sick of helping the weak. I was promised power, success and followers” he growls. “I finally had people who saw my worth.”

“Your worth?” I ask with a dark chuckle. “You, Frost, are nothing but a weak excuse of a man who has no morals.”

“You bitch” he snarls.

“Get up” I say calmly letting go of him and stepping back. “I’m going to show you exactly what you’re worth. Fight me” I say with narrowed eyes as he stands to his full height.

Seeing his eyes widen momentarily at my words he makes no movement, “come on Frost. Fight me, it’s not a trick. I’ll even promise to not shift even though Kia is itching for blood.”
