“Funny that’s exactly what I said about Nova” Kingsley comments.
Scenting Novas intoxicating scent I turn to see her approach round the packhouse, seeing her pause momentarily I link her quickly “it’s Sophie, she’s nervous.”
As she approaches I see her with a warm smile on her face with her eyes full of excitement, “hello dad” she murmurs bringing him in for a hug.
“Happy birthday Nova” he says, “and I have to say congratulations to you both officially. I see you wasted no time” he jokes to me making my cheeks flush slightly.
“Don’t embarrass him” Nova smirks winking at him before turning her attention to Sophie who has moved slightly behind her father.
“Sophie?” She asks gently causing her sister to look at her. “It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’ve been so excited since dad told me I had a sister, I hope we can spend more time together and get to know one another.”
Hearing those words I see Sophie’s shoulders relax as she steps forward, “thank you Nova. I’ve waited a long time to meet you, you’re as beautiful as father said.”
With a tinker of a laugh Nova opens her arms offering a hug which Sophie steps into gratefully, “thank you. I see we have our fathers eyes.”
As we all chuckle Nova steps back and glances at us, “what?”
“We just said that” I shrug with humour.
“Are you ready to head in?” Nova asks her sister quietly.
Seeing Sophie brace her shoulders and hold her head high I smile noting the similarities between the sisters, “yes we are” Kingsley says gesturing for me to lead the way.
As we head back round I hear the soft padding of someone’s footsteps running towards us, looking up I see Luca run around the house before lifting his head up and taking a deep sniff before his head whips to meet our gaze. Seeing Sophie freeze out of the corner of my eye I reach my hand out to grasp Nova, “wait” I murmur quietly.
As Luca makes his way over slowly I look to Nova and see her trying to hide a large smile.
“Mate” Lucas deep voice growls as he stops in-front of Sophie, seeing the nerves flash through Sophie Nova steps beside her and holds her arm softly.
“Mate” Sophie whispers. Seeing the confusion cross Lucas face at Sophie’s nerves Nova looks at him pointedly gaining his attention.
“Luca this is my sister..Sophie” she says calmly. Hearing that understanding crosses Lucas face as he smiles softly at her, “it’s a pleasure to meet you mate” he murmurs.
“Sophie this is my brother Luca, his family are those that adopted me when I was 3 weeks old” Nova says quietly introducing her brother.
“Hello Luca” Sophie says with a small smile as she looks up at him nervously.
“Please don’t be nervous around me Sophie, I’ve waited a long time for my mate and I am very happy that I’ve found you” Luca says holding his hand out for her.
She looks at it for a moment before reaching out her own to grasp it gently, feeling the shocks run through their bodies they both gasp slightly.
“Will take some getting used to” I chuckle as I see Luca looking down at their joined hands in awe.
“This is great news, congratulations” Kingsley exclaims stepping forward and patting Lucas shoulder. “Sophie hasn’t been around other packs much Luca as you most likely gathered, please be there for her.”
“Always” Luca promises looking at Sophie with soft smile. “If you need some quiet time if it becomes a bit much just let me know, I’d be more than happy to go for a walk.”
“Thank you” she whispers shyly.
“Let’s go get a drink, we have another reason to celebrate” Nova says happily, “see I told you it would be soon” she smirks elbowing her brother playfully.
“Smart arse” he retorts making Sophie giggle quietly much to his delight as we all head back to the party.
Nova POV:
As I stand to one side looking around the party I can’t help the smile that’s plastered on my face as I look at those I’ve grown to love enjoy themselves.
“You look happy” I hear Mila comment as she comes to stand beside me.
“My adopted brother found his mate in my biological sister, he’s been waiting for many years so I’m over the moon for him. Plus this is a great party, it’s lovely to relax and spend time with everyone” I grin turning to look at her.
Raising her wine glass to clink mine she winks, “the alcohol is a bonus.”
“Definitely” I laugh.
“It was nice to see you stick up against my father earlier” she says turning round to look around the party again.
“I understand where he’s coming from, it wasn’t upsetting so I’m not offended. I know what it means to look out for family and that’s what he was doing, but I’m glad he knows I’ll speak up for myself” I shrug casually.
“Oh he’s aware alright” she smirks, “he’s a great father and was a brilliant Alpha.”
“I have no doubt about that” I assure her.
“But as you’re probably aware Alphas like to be in control. Handing the reigns over to Jax was hard on him, he lost the feeling of being in charge and knowing everything going on” she continues, “Jax has always made sure to keep my parents in the loop. They have the right to know as the previous Alpha and Luna and my father knows Jax is a brilliant Alpha himself. There are just times, such as now, where he knows there is more going on and his Alpha mindset is pushing him to find out.”
“Trust me I understand Mila. I’m grateful to you all for being understanding and not pushing me to say more, please know that in time I will. But before I do Jax and I need to find out some more information” I start explaining.
Mila quickly grasps my arm making me look at her, “Nova you don’t need to explain. Even from the very short time I’ve known you I can sense the kind of woman you are, and Jax is lucky to have you. We have faith in you both and just know that when you are ready to talk..we’re here.”
“Thank you Mila” I say softly.
“So your brother has found his mate?” She asks.
“He has” I smile.
