Nova POV:
“I know we’ve had a lot going on love but tomorrow is going to be amazing” Jax says as he feeds me a delicious dessert. Moaning in pleasure his eyes darken slightly before he clears his throat, “those sounds” he mutters as I giggle.
“I’m excited for tomorrow, as soon as I’d finished work today it’s all I’ve been able to think about” I admit. “I was just speaking to Naomi about it.”
“I asked her to hold you up” Jax smirks.
“Oh” I laugh, “well I enjoyed it. Was nice to just relax and have a chat, I used to make sure I spent time with Alice and other pack members. Having a balance is important isn’t it.”
“We can make sure you do here as well” Jax assures me.
“I will don’t worry, but at the moment we have more pressing matters” I say with a small smile.
“How are you feeling after this week?” Jax asks.
“Relieved, conflicted, worried but also confident in a way” I reply with a shrug. Seeing him raise a brow I explain a bit further, “relieved because we managed to find the traitors and gain some more information. Seeing Rose be convicted was a relief, but I have to admit I’ve been worried about my old pack. I’m conflicted because I’m aware of the danger I’m bringing to those around me but I know I couldn’t do this without you and many others. But confident because I know now that I have a family to support me, an amazing mate and a pack that will motivate me to always be my best.”
“Amazing mate huh” Jax says with a wink.
“I said all that and that’s what you picked up on?” I ask chuckling.
Smirking he nods before replying slightly more serious, “I get why you’re feeling all those emotions, plus I’ve been able to feel how you’re feeling remember. But it’s all perfectly understandable. You’re handling it amazing though love.”
“I’m worried about my mum” I admit quietly seeing his eyes soften at my words.
“I know” he says softly, his deep voice soothing. “Conditioning can be reversed though, don’t give up hope.”
“It’s not just that” I explain, “even if we can reverse the conditioning and get her true self back, what’s to say she’s going to forgive us? Even now we are putting off getting her..and for what?”
“So you’d rather go hunt for your mother blind and without any clue as to where she is?” Jax says with a pointed look.
“No” I sigh in defeat.
“Gaining information is important, not just for your safety but for everybody involved. Having some insight into what waits for us is better than nothing” he says resting his large hand over mine. Nodding my head I know he’s right but I can’t ignore the guilt I’m feeling.
“Nova your mother is alive, that’s more than what you ever imagined until a few weeks ago. We will get her back and then we can address if she is ready to forgive everything that has happened” Jax says quietly. “As much as I hate to say this I doubt it will be you that your mother will struggle with.”
“Dad” I sigh feeling sorry for him.
“Yeah” Jax admits. “We know he was tricked and it was done to hurt your mother, but as his mate she will feel betrayed. I’m sure in time she will come to realise, and if we can get proof of what your grandparents did to him it will help hugely.”
“You’re right” I say lifting my lips slightly at his logical thinking.
