Chapter 25
Fear to Reality Nova POV: Once we get back to the room I head straight to the bathroom to freshen myself up getting ready to journey to the White Mountain Pack. Looking in the mirror I see my eyes shining brighter than they have in a long time and my cheeks are rosey with colour, my lips plump curled in a slight smile naturally. After the initial emotional conversation we had with my father lunch had flown by, it was nice to enjoy some laughs and relax before we have to travel this afternoon. Walking out my eyes fall on Jaxs muscular figure sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes. rise to meet mine as he lifts his arms up for me to join him. “Hello…mate” he whispers huskily in my ear making heat pool below and my b*dy shiver. Pulling back I see a smirk grace his lips knowingly, “behave” I laugh swatting his shoulder, “we need to get ready.” “Yes about that, Luca has just rang and said he has rooms prepared for us to stay in as we won’t be finished until late. I wanted to check it would be ok with you before confirming anything” he says standing and heading towards the closet. “Yes that’s fine, it means we can leave early and travel back doesn’t it so it makes sense” I agree rationally as I head through to the closet behind him. Seeing he’d taken his top off and his rippling back muscles were on show as he took. clothes off their hangers ready to pack I find my breath hitching. “Seriously Jax you’re not helping a woman here” I say playfully fanning myself as I know my eyes have darkened. He pulls a tshirt down over his head ruffling his hair as he try’s to hide the smug smile that is stretching across his face. “If we had time you know you’d get to enjoy..all this” he says dramatically gesturing at his b*dy. nasl Stepping forward i trail my hand over his stomach making him hold his breath as I
reach up and whisper in his ear, “i don’t doubt i would enjoy it” before I walk past him sniggering to get some of my own clothes ready to take with us. Turning I see he hasn’t moved from his frozen position as he stares at me with lust filled eyes. ။ 1/6 ” Fear to Realty “I’m trying my hardest to restrain myself at the moment Nova but you’re making it increasingly hard” he growls. Looking down I see his noticeable bulge straining in his black jeans, “I can see” I wink at him before stepping back with my hands in mock surrender. “I’ll behave promise.” Seeing him control his breathing he walks towards me and drops a hard k*ss on my lips before taking our bags to the bathroom and putting our toiletries in. Opening the door he turns to me “come on then love” and we head downstairs. I offer to take my bag but he shakes his head in a stern no, “such a gentleman” I comment as he loads the car up making him chuckle. “This is our ride” he gestures to the fancy Aston Martin in front of us opening the door for me. “Thank you” I say looking him clearly in the eyes as I sit down. “Laurence, Alice and Theo are following behind with your dad” he informs me as he pulls the car down the driveway. Nodding I lean my head back and let my thoughts wander speaking to Kia as the journey progresses. Jax for all his due leaves me to relax for the ride aware that I need time to process everything. As we enter the territory of the White Mountain Pack I reach my hand out Jaxs as he squeezes mine reassuringly. to graso
Pulling up outside the pack house I see Luca waiting for us with a smile on his face,” someone is pleased you’re back” Jax comments with a smile as he opens the door helping me out the car. Grinning I turn my attention to Luca, “can’t escape me can you” I laugh as he twirls. me round in a hug. “Never” he grins back, turning to Alpha Jax he shakes his hand as he says “good afternoon Alpha Jax, please let me welcome you to the White Mountain Pack..again, and it’s lovely to see you. Chuckling Jax shakes his hand firmly, “thank you Beta.” “I’ll show you to your room, then Alpha Axton has said we should all meet in the III 2/6 fear to Reality downstairs lounge and we can go from there” Luca says leading us upstairs. As we pass the floor that used to hold my room I feel my heart tighten before I focus on Jaxs warmth and the feeling quickly dissipates. Luca opens a door ahead of us and gestures us both forward, “your room” he says simply. “Both of ours?” I ask sharply. “Umm..yes?” He says quietly with doubt in his tone. I look at him for a moment before giggling, “I’m just messing Luca, thank you.” “You never change” he says shaking his hand relief crossing his sharp features. “We spoke to my father at lunch, he told us some information” I start before looking at Jax and quickly linking him, “can I tell him about us?” He looks at me before answering aloud, “you don’t ever need to ask me that, I wouldn’t ask you to keep anything from your brother.” With those words Luca and I both break into huge smiles, “thank you” Luca says gratefully, “you were saying Nova?” “Well I’ll start with the worrying news. My biological mother was the daughter of hunters as you know.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Our parents being killed by hunters could be a horrible coincidence, or it could be linked to my biological grandparents finding me..” I trail off suddenly anxious that Luca will be upset with the news. He sighs in front of me before standing up to look out the window for a minute, he turns around and looks at me with a small smile on his face. “I already know you’ll be worrying I will blame you for if this is the case, but I want you to know that none of this is your fault and I would never see it that way. I had a thought yesterday when Kingsley told us about your mother that it could be linked so it’s not too surprising he is concerned about that. If it is the case then I know for certain our parents would have done anything to protect you and me..do not ever blame yourself for their fate.” Hearing those words I lean into him giving him a hug, “thank you Luca you have not idea how much I needed to hear that” I mumble into his chest. After a minute we step back and Jax snakes his hand round my waist bringing me in close, I look at him with a raised brow. “Don’t ask, I’m getting a bit territorial with you 3/6 Fear to Reality and other males. I know he’s your brother and Zeus and I understand that but..” I smile and give him a k*ss on the cheek, “I know, you don’t need to explain.” Seeing him flush slightly at his actions I giggle, “my possessive Alpha” I tease. O I turn to Luca who watched the whole exchange with an elated look on his face, “I best explain” I say to Luca. “You think” he teases. “My dad is certain we are mates. He had a feeling when we all met the other day however when we had lunch earlier we explained the sparks, the fact my scent to him is different to everyone else within the pack, the need to be around each other. Plus my father met my mother two days before his 25th birthday and it was the same” I explain. Luca studied us for a few seconds before answering, “I’ve been around plenty of
people who acted as mates before they were confirmed and I could say the same thing. From where I am standing it’s pretty f*****g obvious” he laughs. ” Congratulations sis” he adds on smirking. I simply shake my head at his honesty before thanking him. “Shall we head downstairs?” Jax asks after we’d quickly freshened up. Luca and i both nod in agreement and we all walk downstairs to the lounge. Walking in I see Axton sat on the sofa with Rose pushing herself against his rigid frame as much as possible, her breasts practically escaping her top trying to gain his attention. Seeing us walk into the room his eyes brighten before he hastily stands up. “Ouch” Rose exclaims as she is pushed slightly onto the sofa. Axtons lips simply set into a straight line as he doesn’t acknowledge her. Raising my brows at him he shakes his head slightly before turning to Jax, “good afternoon Alpha Jax, welcome to the White Mountain Pack, I hope your room is to your liking.” “Thank you Alpha, it’s lovely” he says politely. “Well I’d thank Nova to be honest, it was kind of her initiative to design the guest rooms as such” Axtons says uncomfortably rubbing his neck. “I know” Jax says winking at me making a flash of hurt cross Axtons face. 4/6 Fear to Reality “Good afternoon Luna Rose” Jax says politely turning to the lady standing from the sofa. “Alpha” she drawls seductively as she smooths her dress sashaying over to us. “If you need anything for your room please don’t hesitate to ask” she says resting a hand on his arm and looking into his eyes through her lashes. Jaxs eyes harden as he focuses on her hand resting there before his eyes flash and he shakes it off with a grimace. “I’ve got Nova with me what more could I need” he says provokingly.
With that she blanched before turning to look at Luca, “I thought I suggested Novas room be the floor below Alpha Jaxs?” She says accusingly. He simply looked at her in amusement, “I apologise Luna. I found your suggestion to be insensitive and not suitable for my sisters visit. I did run it by Alpha Axton and he agreed with me.” “Axton?” She asks feigning hurt. “I’m sorry Rose but I am with Luca on this one. Having Nova in the room pretty much across from what was the two of ours old room but is now yours and my own is insensitive. She is our guest and she will be treated as such.” Axton says firmly. “I was only offering her a room closest to what she was used to here” she claims innocently. “Why with Alpha Jax?” She probes. With a sigh Luca rubs his face looking to the ceiling, “it’s truly none of our business Luna. But if they wish to share a room I will in no way stop them.” “Even when they’re unmated after Nova has come out of a chosen relationship?” She comments raising her brow. With this i scoff, “oh please Rose. You cannot comment on two mates sharing a room. I can hazard a strong guess you were no saint before mating with Axton, if I wish to share a room with someone then I should be granted that wish. It honestly does no harm to anyone.” Stepping forward I look at her my eyes showing Kia presence, “but if I EVER catch you touching my mate like that again there will be consequences.” Hearing a whistle from behind I twirl to meet the amused gazes of Alice and my III 5/6 Fear to Reality father with Laurence smirking behind them. “That’s my Luna” Alice comments making me laugh. Hearing Axton whisper to Rose “you cannot have Nova stay opposite us in the hope you can seduce me and use it hurt her. I have held off for days now and nothing will be changing that until your attitude
improves. She and Alpha Jax are together and we are not to stop them, she never opposed us..remember that” he growls at the end. Seeing Jax smile in approval I look to Luca who is looking at Rose distastefully. “Shall we proceed with the visit?” My father asks after greeting everyone. “Yes certainly. If you’d all like to follow me we are going to head to the long term care unit” Axton says leading us outside. As we reach the room where the lady is being cared for I see my fathers eyes darkening with anger, stepping forward I rest my hand on his arm before i ask “are you ok?” He battles with his wolf for a moment before he takes any deep breath, “I know that scent” he growls before storming past Axton and slamming the door open. Walking in behind him I see the frail older lady lying peacefully on the bed with the usual tubes attached to her. Hearing a loud snarl from beside me I look at my father who is bristling with anger. “Caroline” he growls. “Caroline?” I ask fearing answer. His eyes leave her before focusing on mine, softening when he sees the worry in them. “Your grandmother..” he whispers causing Luca and I to grasp each others hand as one my fears becomes reality.
