Nova POV:
After running for an hour Kia skids to a halt outside the council building and quickly shifts so I can dress in the clothes that have
been placed out for us,
“Have I messed up?” I ask turning to Luca and Jax.
“No” Jax says immediately, “it’s time you showed everyone exactly what you are capable of. You have been hurt, betrayed and
suffered through a lot which others.
have so far been oblivious to. It’s time Nova.”
Turning to look at Luca I see the inner turmoil in his eyes as he offers me a small
smile, “you should never have had to hide who you truly are in the first place, there are
others out there as you well know that will want you for power. That’s why I’ve always
baan apprehensive about your emergence, but Jax is right. It’s time.”
With a deep sigh I slump down on the step as I gaze out across the fields in front of
us, “Thave no idea what I’m doing” I admit,
“Does anyone?” Jax asks. “Everyday people have to adapt and change their paths,
their plans and their hopes. It’s part of life. When I became Alpha, although I had been trained by my father my entire life, I still
sat there in that office chair and had
absolutely no clue what to do at times. But you have to trust in yourself, in those
around you that are there to help and in our pack and most of all, Kia..she is so wise
Nova.”
Nodding I stay quiet for a moment. “I can’t believe he ripped our mother’s heart from
her b*dy” I quietly s ob as Luca wraps his arm around my shoulders, tears silently
rolling down his face.
“It explains why we could only see their faces before the burning” Luca mutters
grimacing at the memory.
“You didn’t know? Who dealt with their bodies?” Jax asks surprised. .
“Elder Frost as he was on a council visit at the time, a border patrol alerted us however Axton and I at the time were in an
important meeting and had our walls up. Luca got there before we did” I whisper as the memories come flooding by.

What Now
“So was Frost with the border patrol?” Jax asks.
“He was running solo on his way to the neighbouring pack, Elder Bernard had gone on ahead, it was thought to be a safe route” I
explain.
“Elder Bernard has come to our pack before” Jax mutters.
“He heard the attack and the nearby border patrol joined him, by the time we got there there were only a few hunters left fleeing,
didn’t want to upset us further and as an Elder of the Council we naively
trusted him.”
“Sol assume no one saw him kill your mother. Did their bodies not get looked at
before the burning?” Jax asks in confusion.
LETA PION
“I assume so. Two border patrol members were also killed though so maybe they did
see something and that’s why they were killed, or they died fighting. We won’t know
now. The bodies were examined by Frost and a council Doctor who arrived 2 hours
after the attack, due to it involving hunters they took the lead and Axton, Nova and
myself concentrated on ways to better protect the pack. Working kept us distracted and had us not focusing on the loss we were
feeling. We thought that’s what our parents would want. I felt the family bond snap at the time of the attack and knew they were
gone so I immediately got involved in the fight” Luca answers solemnly.
“So the doctor could be the third traitor” Jax says looking between us both. “How long does it take to get from the council building
to your pack Luca?”
“Roughly 3.5 hours” he says as his eyes grow wide.
“The doctor got there quickly. We need to find out if that was a coincidence or if he knew he needed to be there relatively fast”
Jax muses.
“**”Lexclaim throwing my hands up, “I didn’t even think of that.”
“You had no reason to suspect them both at the time Nova, don’t focus on that. Which doctor was it?” Jax asks.
“Dr Norton if I remember correctly: Nova you need to speak to Elder Martin” Luca says jogging his knee as he thinks.
“Either the doctor is a traitor or he was commanded not to say anything” Jax says as

he looks deep in thought.
“Nova” I hear being called behind me as I turn to see Johnathon rushing outside. “Are
you ok?”
“No” I whisper,
“My dear” he says quietly as he pulls me in for a firm hug. “The trial is paused for today, the verdict will be said in the morning as
I think we have all the information we need, but I suggest we travel back to your pack immediately after that.”
“Ok” I say simply.
“What you did in there..as brutal as it was, was the right thing to do. You have not only exposed another traitor but because of
you commanding Alpha Jacob you have exposed a lot more information than we could have possibly hoped for” Johnathon says
with pride.
“And exposing myself? I released my full aura in there Johnathon” I stress rubbing the
back of my neck absentmindedly.
“It was time Nova” he says quietly. “I think you know that, you have been hidden for too long. The evils in this world are only
growing and the threats to yourself and your loved ones are increasing by the day. You have to show how formidable you are
and do what the Moon Goddess destined you to do. You can’t do that hiding your true

waist and look in my eyes. “I am so proud of you and Kia, we all are.”

“I’m nervous” I admit.
“Good” Jax says, “it shows you’re normal.”
“So what now?” I ask looking at him for answers.
“Now, we go back in there. Speak to Elder Martin and head upstairs for the night, Johnathon could we also speak to you about
Guardian Wolves a bit more to keep
ourselves busy” Jax suggests.
“Of course” he says with a reassuring smile. “I’ll bring dinner up to your room, how
about we all eat together.”

What Now
“Thank you, I’d like you to come see Elder Martin with us also” I say softly smiling.” Luca can you join us this evening?”
“Of course Nova” he says looking shocked I’ve even had to ask.
“I think Alpha Axton should also join us” Jax says quietly.
“You do?” I ask furrowing my brows.
With a sigh he nods, “yes. He knows of Kia, he knows of the attack on your parents and may, as the Alpha, have some more
knowledge he can share. But also, as much as it pains me to admit it, he is your friend and your supporter and you had years
where you experienced life together, and I won’t ever get in between that or be able to truly understand it as I simply wasn’t a
part of it. As you couldn’t with my past. We don’t know what’s going to happen in the future against the hunters, but I have a
feeling we need allies. Plus, I know how much you love me..I can feel it.”
“Jax is right Nova” Luca pipes up after a moment of me looking at Jax in shock.
“You’re amazing you know that” I tell Jax who simply smirks at me. “Ok, well Luca you speak to Axton and we can meet for
dinner at 6:30pm. How is that?” I suggest
quietly.
“It’s a plan” he says before hugging me tightly, “see you this evening Jax, Elder Johnathon.” With a bow of his head he turns and
slowly makes his way inside
“I feel bad for him” I admit quietly.
“I know” Jax replied as he holds me close to his side, “but you also lost your parents.”
“But I also have my parents still alive” I point out.
“And Luca is Sophie’s mate, after everything his biological parents did for you do you
really think Kingsley won’t do the same for Luca?” Jax asks raising his brow.
“That’s a very good point” I say with a little smile.
Softly k*ssing my lips he steps back and takes my hand, “come on. Let’s go find Elder
Martin.”
