Jax POV:
Nova excuses herself to take a quick shower so I head to the office and check in with how Axel is progressing. Seeing Laurence arrive at the same time I look him over which he notices.
“We ran into no problems” he says quietly before we walk into the office together.
“How are you getting on Axel?” I ask as he nods his head in quiet greeting.
“Give me another hour and I’ll be done” he says without looking away from what he’s working on.
“So the meeting place?” I ask Laurence.
“An abandoned barn, I estimate it could hold up to a thousand people but it is derelict and run down. I believe it could even have been an old factory so perhaps barn isn’t the right word to use” he answers.
“Any sign of activity?” I ask.
“None” he says with a shake of his head. “It’s also surrounded by other working factories so attacking there would not be ideal.”
“We won’t be” I tell him immediately, “that’s why they will have arranged for it to be there. Plus surrounded by other humans it won’t look as suspicious. Instead we are going to scout the meeting, we will observe and the trail those we believe are important when they leave. That way we can hopefully learn more about where they are based or spend their time.”
“I agree that’s a good plan” Laurence says sitting back in his chair. “I ran into your ma downstairs and she apologised for David’s actions whilst you were away. I have to apologise also, I had no idea he had been asking those sorts of questions.”
“Of course you didn’t” I shrug, “he knew what he was doing and other pack members wouldn’t want to willingly defy the previous Alpha I assume.”
“But still, I apologise you have had to dealt with that” Laurence say seriously.
“I think Ma dealt with it to be honest” I say with a light laugh.
“Yes..she did tell me” Laurence smiles slightly. “I have Naomi helping her, I thought the company would be nice and I know they have a lot to do before Sunday.”
“Thank you Laurence” I say gratefully. “We have the Alpha King here.”
“What?” He asks his head twisting sharply to mine from where he was looking at the bookshelf.
“He turned up whilst you were gone, he and Luna Ophelia swore their loyalty to Nova and we have filled them in on everything that has taken place” I explain. “They will be staying until we have finished with the hunters.”
“Fucking hell” Laurence says with wide eyes. “Our Luna truly is something special isn’t she.”
“She is” I agree proudly. “She also just kicked his ass at sparring which quietened him down rather a lot.”
“Oh shit” Laurence says with a bark of laughter. “He wanted to see for himself huh?”
“Oh he definitely saw” I chuckled. “Tonight for the pack run I am going to explain to the pack who Nova is exactly.”
“I think it’s time” Laurence agrees. “I can sense her power and I know a few pack members have noticed it also. I think they believe it’s because she is the Luna but clearly it is more than that.”
“I’d like you to say a few words Laurence” I say leaning forward as his eyes widen.
“Ok?” He questions.
“You know about Guardian Wolves and I know you will speak highly of Nova. I think the pack needs to hear this from someone other than her mate, even if her mate is their Alpha. Alex will also be there and say a few words but I think your knowledge will speak for itself” I explain.
“I’d love to” he replies eagerly.
“Brilliant, I’m glad that’s sorted” I say relaxing. “So how are you and Naomi? I feel bad I haven’t had chance to check in more with your pups development.”
