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 t
“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.”
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.”
*f*****g 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 a ss at sparring which quietened him
down rather a lot.”
“Oh s**t” 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.”
“Oh they’re growing quickly! Naomi is handling herself brilliantly and I’m ensuring she gets plenty of rest, same with Alice. Those
women would work till they fell asleep on

their feet if they could” he laughs. “Nova is coming to our next appointment, if you’d like to join us you are welcome. I’m not sure I
could handle anyone else.”
“Oh?” Lask
“I nearly took the doctors hand off when he put the gel on her for the scan, it’s my protectiveness coming out. It’s a lot harder to
handle than I thought” he admits.
“I have heard how protective men can get, but Doctors will see that all the time” I
assure him.
He sighs as he runs his hand through his hair, “to be honest I think it’s worse because of everything going on. I want Naomi and
on edge a bit more.”
Guilt fills my b*dy at his words, “I’m so sorry Laurence” I say quietly. “I didn’t mean for
all of this to mar you and your mates experience.”
“Oh no it’s not your fault, or our Lunas” he says quickly, “it’s just making me slightly more protective than I believe I would be
normally. And that’s to be expected. I think you being there could actually help, my wolf doesn’t see you as a threat and knows to
be respectful. I think it could help the doctor get on with his work easier.”
“Then of course I will be there” I exclaim. “Axel you know to not utter a word that is
said here yes?”
“Certainly” he replies, “to be honest I’m concentrating on my work. Not your guys
drama” he adds on with a smirk thrown our way.
“***” Laurence laughs appreciating my brothers teasing.
“Congratulations man” Axel says with a wide smile. “I haven’t had chance to say so far but it’s exciting news for the pack.”
“Very” Laurence beams.
“I’m ready to be an uncle whenever by the way Jax” Axel throws in there.
Turning to look at him in surprise he chuckles nervously, “what?”
“Well I’m surprised you want to be around pups that’s all” I say slightly ashamed at my
assumptions.

“I’m not a kid anymore” he says rolling his eyes. “Evan and I also hope to find our
mate and have pups you know
“Wow” I chuckle, “my brothers have grown up.
“You’ve given me this responsibility but you’re surprised I mentioned pups?” He
laughs in amusement pointing to his laptop.
“I still remember the boy who froze when he held his sister for the first time like she
was some precious china” I laugh. “You two will be great uncles though, and dads
when the time is right.”
Thanks man” he says with a wide smile as he turns to his work again.
“Wow” Laurence mouths to me as I look at him in amazement.
“Oh goddess” I groan loudly.
“What?” They both ask quickly.
“I’ve just realised you’re going to teach all my pups the horrible tricks I taught you two “I groan rubbing my forehead dramatically.
With a loud laugh Axel nods enthusiastically, “that and more.”
“Brilliant” I mutter before smiling widely to show my humour.
“Ok I’m off for some food, I’ll be back after eating and you can show me what you’ve
got. Laurence come join us, Nova will enjoy seeing you” I say as he quickly stands.
“See you soon boss, Beta” Axel says his attention back on his laptop.
