Nova POV:

“So..you wanted to speak to me?” I ask Esmerelda as we reach a small clearing.

“I did, yes” Esmerelda confirms as she takes a seat on a fallen tree and motions for

me to join her. “So a gift you weren’t aware of..”

“Is it a gift?” I ask drly, thinking of the over whelming tension I felt in my head before.

“I think it is” she replies laughing lightly. “Perhaps you could use it to your benefit.”

“Are you hinting at something Esmerelda? If so perhaps speak freely just this once” I say trying to stay

polite despite my inner frustration.

“I apologise” she says surprising me as my eyes flit to hers. “I’m used to talking in tongue and keeping

myself in check. I have said too much before and it cost me dearly. I am, believe it or not, trying to

help.”

“I know” I say quietly with a smile, “perhaps my patience is being tested a little after

recent events.”

“Understandable dear” she chuckles. “Your gift, although seemingly hard to control I believe you could

learn to isolate the emotions and make it easier.”

“How long would that take me though?” I ask quietly.

“I will speak to Corina, I don’t think you can master the skill but you can try and control it more than you

can currently” she says positively. “Corina is a more patient person to aid you than I.”

“You..impatient?” I laugh, “I can’t imagine that.”

“In some ways I am trust me” she says her wise eyes clouding over in memory, “but I

believe Corina can help you.”

“Is this necessary, or urgent?” I ask knowing if I ask what I’m truly thinking she would

not answer.

Looking at me calmly she inclines her head slightly giving me my answer. “Then I will meet with Corina”

I tell her.

“Thank you” she smiles. “Remember Luna, one must fall..in time it will make sense.”

“I hope so, but I don’t think I will like it when the time comes” I murmur before I feel

her aged hand grasp mine.

“Have faith in the Moon Goddess Nova and we will all have faith in you” she assures

me.

”

“You are just like your dad you know” she comments as we begin walking back, determined but quiet.

You don’t let anyone but your mate know your inner feelings and even then you try to hide him from the

worst.”

“I know” I chuckle. “Jax has been helpful though, I don’t think he’s realised just how

much but I’ve never told people my emotions before. Well perhaps I did Luca to an

extent, but I found it easier to not deal with the outcome.”

“Well continue opening up” Esmerelda says gently as we reach the pack house.”

Keeping things hidden and to yourself weighs on you more than you know.”

“Thank you for your advice Esmerelda” I say graciously as I see Jax waiting slightly

impatiently at the bottom of the stairs. “If you’d excuse me, I best not hold up this

meeting.”

“Of course dear” she says.

Bowing my head respectfully i quickly make my way over to Jax as I see him look at me questioningly.

“She believes I could perhaps learn to isolate the emotions” I link

him explaining.

“Why would she believe that would help?” He links me back as we walk to the

conference room.

“She didn’t say I shrug.

“No surprises there” he links me back whilst looking down at me with a smirk.

“But I think it could help me..what if I can almost locate people if I can focus on an

emotion? Find the emotions origin?” I link him.

“Like what emotion?” He asks furrowing his brows.

“Well what emotion do you think Charles would feel upon attacking us?” I ask him

slowly.

“Probably satisfaction at finally making his big move. Anger for us killing his wife, I’d like to think

concern that it may not go his way but then he might have an overwhelming sense of confidence in his

plan” Jax muses.

“So what if I try to isolate those and I could find him?” I ask him as he looks at me in amazement. “We

all doubted he would be in the middle of the battle, whether he is towards the back of his forces or

hidden at a vantage point waiting to make his move

….this could help. Couldn’t it?”

“It could” he agrees. “Do you think you could manage it in time?”

“I’m not sure” I wince, “I’m going to speak to Corina tonight and go from there. But if I have motivation

now.. Hope that if it is something I can control and work in that way,

then maybe it can help us.”

“That’s good. Just don’t be disappointed if you can’t love, we don’t know what’s possible” he says out

loud as my smile falters slightly. Seeing his eyes widen in panic he quickly continues, “I don’t mean I

don’t have faith. Trust me, when it comes to you I have more faith than you can imagine. I just don’t

want you to get your hopes up too much, don’t put too much pressure on yourself that’s all.”

Realising he’s right and that he’s just caring for me I relax and my lips curl upwards at his words.

“You’re right” I say to him. Cupping his jaw lightly I kiss his chin before pulling back, “thank you for

concern about me.”

“I always care how you’re feeling Nova” he says with a slight smile. “Are you ready for this?” He asks

pointing to the conference room door.

“As ready as I’ll ever be” I smirk before confidently pushing the door open and walking

in with my mate by my side.

Seeing the Alphas and other officials all turn to us I smile at them, my gaze

unwavering and steady as I try to emanate an aura of calm and collected. “Afternoon everybody” Jax

says his voice strong as it carries across the room. “I hope you’ve all settled alright? Is everything

suitable?”

“Everything is very organised Alpha Jax” a tall ginger young man says as he comes to shake his hand.

“I’m Alpha Conor of the Black Star Pack, my father Alpha Brent sends his best wishes and says he has

much confidence in our efforts.”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you young Alpha Conor, it’s nice to see you with some more responsibility” Jax

says smiling genuinely at the son of his ally.

“Kingsley..how have you all settled?” Jax asks looking to my dad as he sits quietly to

the side.

“My pack members have finished setting up their camp, Theo came by and distributed the training rotas

etc and everyone is in understanding of what we have planned” dad replies with a pleased smile. “The

test will be when everyone has food this evening.”

“No one is angry with them” I say attempting to sift through the emotions I can sense, “I feel worry and

nervousness. Many don’t know what to expect from your pack dad, a peaceful rogue pack wanting to

aid others isn’t one that’s been heard of before. But the fact you’re a Guardian Wolf carries meaning,

people understand that.”

“You can sense all that?” He asks impressed.

Frowning slightly I nod, “I think so. I mean I don’t know for certain but I’m fairly confident. Whatever

Kara did has helped me understand it a bit more.”

“You know I think this is how I could sense deception so well before” I suddenly link

Jax as I make the connection in my mind. “I’ve always had a good sense of when people are deceiving

me, or one another but I have to admit In the last month it’s

become a lot more accurate.”

“Makes sense” he replies as his eyes meet mine, pride prominent in them.

“Right everyone let’s sit” Jax motions.

“What is this meeting about then?” Alpha Brad asks.

“The fact we have 1300 rogues and 7 witches that we are aware of coming to fight us

Alex growls as he storms into the room.

The others immediately stand and bow low respectfully as Jax and I do the same.

“Alpha King” Jax says as he comes to beside us.

“Sorry I’m late” he smirks arrogantly his Alpha King persona strong in this setting, feeding off of the

respect shown by other Alphas.

“I’m sorry did you say 1300 rogues and 7 witches?!” Alpha Brad splutters. “That’s

“It has” Jax says solemnly.

“But it’s time to kill those f uckers, and I have a plan” Alex smirks.
