Trial Morning
Nova POV:
I wake up early with a lot on my mind, staring at Jaxs relaxed face as I wonder what’s
going to transpire today.
“We just have to wait and see Nova” Ki sighs to me as she paces slowly in my mind.
“I know” I reply quietly, “there has just been a lot of unanswered questions and to find
that Rose is Alpha Jacob’s daughter was strange enough.”
“It’s too much of a coincidence I think” Ki agrees with a sad tone.
“It would explain why Elder Frost is so..well frosty with me I suppose” I murmur to her
as I burrow my head into Jaxs chest breathing in his scent to calm myself.
“He was a pig headed Alpha. I’m surprised Elder Frost is his brother actually, I mean.
how is an Elder related to that man” Kia mutters angrily.
“He may be an Elder but it doesn’t mean he is respected” I point out, “we saw the way
others looked at him throughout lunch yesterday.”
“And he disrespects us” Kia snarls indignantly.
Hearing Jax moan as he stretches slightly I look up and meet his sleepy eyes,” morning” he murmurs pulling me closer to him.
Enjoying the comfort he gives me I lie there for a few more minutes before pulling away and huffing. “Well we best get ready
hadn’t we” I sigh as Jax looks at me with concern.
“Hey” he says grasping my chin lightly stopping me from getting up, “I know today isn’t going to be pleasant and there will be a
lot of bad memories brought up but it is
for the greater good. Zeus and I are right there beside you, we always will be.”
My heart fills with warmth at his words and I can’t help but smile as I see the
affection in his eyes. “Thank you” I whisper before k*ssing his lips lightly.
Standing up I stretch causing Jax to groan behind me, spinning round I see him cover
his eyes with his arm as his other fist clenches the duvet.
“You alright there?” I ask laughing as I see the very obvious tent he’s pitching. .

“I swear you make me like a h orny teenager all over again” he mutters without looking
to me. “I’ll be a minute, I just need to think about pack finances or something.”
Snorting at his words I shake my head in amusement, “there is always a cold shower”
“Minx” he growls playfully as I walk into the bathroom and freshen up. Walking out I
see Jax is finishing getting dressed and looks smart in a black shirt and dark trousers
with polished shoes.
“Ooo my Alpha” I purr in his ear as I walk past him causing his eyes to flash before he
takes a deep breath. Throwing me a glare I hold my hands up in mock surrender
saying “ok, best behaviour today..promise.”
“Good” he sighs, “I don’t fancy having to explain my need to sit down at times in front
of the council.”
Grinning widely at him I shake with silent laughter thankful for him distracting from my thoughts. Pinning my hair into a neat bun
with a few loose waves framing my face I sit back and nod, happy with my appearance.
“Very smart” Jax says approvingly as his eyes take in my smart navy dress which goes to my knees and my white cropped
blazer.
“Thanks” I say shyly before grabbing my bag and walking to the door.
“Shall we head down?” I ask as Jax finishes combing his dark locks.
“Yes. Let’s go” he agrees as we open the door to see Luca stood with his arm
outstretched ready to knock.
“Morning Sis, Alpha Jax” he says with a small smile, “you look lovely.”
“You don’t look too bad yourself I suppose” I reply with a shrug before winking to let
him know I know he looks smart.
“Alpha has had to go down already as he is being questioned first, he seemed quite
on edge this morning” Luca mentions quietly.
“I don’t blame him” Jax says. “I may not like the guy too much after seeing the pain he
caused Nova but I respect him for taking this step and righting some of his wrongs. Not many Alphas are proud enough to do
that. Plus he has had a tough few weeks

also, I imagine seeing Nova and I marked was tough for him.”
“It was” Luca agreed, “but he bears no ill will towards you both, I mean how could he?
”
“I know” I say quietly before looking at Luca. “How are you doing?”
“I’m talking to you as family now” he says throwing me a look I understand means stay quiet, “but I am worried not for my alpha
but for my friend. He has told me of the struggles of the White Mountain Pack that I am going to return home to and I know he is
under a lot of pressure to change peoples opinion of him now. The result of this trial will help but still, he will be an unmated
alpha. I will need to be there for him to
keep him focused.”
Nodding as I understand his words I can’t help the guilt that flashes through me.
influenced but what he did was still wrong.
This is what he will have to deal with and what he deserves.”
“I don’t feel guilty for Axton, well I do to an extent and I hate that he was manipulated but it’s actually the pack members I feel
guilty for” I reply quietly.
Seeing his eyes soften in understanding he grasps my hand as we start walking again, “and that’s what makes you such a good
Luna, the care you have for others is commendable. But we have to trust Luca and Alpha Axton to build their faith and
moral up again.”
“I know, and I trust they will be able to” I reply confidently.
“Good” he says as we reach the large double doors leading to the trial room. Squaring
his shoulders he holds his head high and reaches his hand to rest on my lower back.”
We’ve got this” he reassures me before the doors are pushed open and we stride into
the room.
Feeling the many pairs of eyes turn and focus on us I look to where we are seated
and don’t acknowledge their gazes. Hearing Jax growl lightly beside me I look up at
him in surprise as I take in his clenched jaw as he scans the room.
“You are getting some very dirty looks right now” he hisses as he draws me closer to
his side.

“Do you want to know something about me Jax?” I ask quietly.
“Yes.” he says looking at me in confusion.

Smiling softly I squeeze his arm, “the more judgment, more hate, more disdain and
more anger that is thrown my way will only benefit me and do you want to know why?
“Yes.” he says with a playful smile.
Biting my lip I gesture around at the many people looking at us, “because I may be here to help others and much more but this
type of environment is where Kia and I
thrive.”
“Really?” He asks with a c****d brow.
Seeing Luca start to smile more as he takes in the gleam in my eye I grin up at Jax,“ oh yes”
Luca laughs loudly throwing his head back earning a few surprised looks his way before he looks back at Jax and myself, “you
haven’t seen Nova when she has to prove herself. Things are about to get interesting” he exclaims making Jax grin as he
looks at me with interest.
“People may regret what they’ve got themselves in for” Luca says with a knowing
smile as I smirk at his words.
