Ladies

Nova POV.

As Alice drags us away from breakfast I smile my thanks at everyone who wishes me their

congratulations as they pass.

“Our new Luna” Naomi smiles happily, “I have a good feeling about this Nova.”

“Do you think the pack will accept me after Genevieve?I know about what she did to

Jax but when it comes to the pack I have no idea what kind of Luna I am following” I admit voicing my

thoughts nervously.

“Hmm, she came across as a lady who put the pack first and in some ways she did.

When she first met Jax everyone was happy with her as Luna but after the first

couple of months her faults became obvious” Naomi admits. “To be fair I didn’t

dislike her but she wasn’t someone people were able to approach with their

concerns. I’m not sure you’re aware but Flo deals with all new mothers and accompanies Jax on their

first visit. This wasn’t implemented once Genevieve had

left, it began 2 months into her being Luna. She showed no interest in offering her support towards

pups, new mothers, struggling mothers, the nursery etc. I’m not saying she wasn’t helpful because she

did help with the kitchen rotas and

–

implementing a good work ethic within them – but again that was to make her dinner parties run

smoothly. I guess what I’m trying to say is she was happy to put the hard work in if she herself was

going to benefit from it.”

Taking her words in I nod as I grasp what she’s trying to tell me, “I get it. She wasn’t necessarily the

people’s Luna.”

“Yeah..exactly. She could fight but I wouldn’t class her as a warrior. She could do the paperwork but I

wouldn’t class her as the most able. She could offer support but sometimes the words weren’t

meaningful because there was a lack of emotion and actual relations with the pack members. Before

she betrayed Jax I believed she was trying, but maybe because she knew herself she didn’t properly

belong with Jax she held back” Naomi explained. “I think she saw herself as a temporary guest in the

Luna role.”

“That’s sad in a way” I say quietly understanding her situation.

“Yes, it is. But it’s in the past now, Jax has really dedicated himself to this pack during

his time as Alpha and trust me when I say the pack is grateful for that. Everyone can see how you two

belong together and your impact here already” she says with

emotion in her voice.

“Don’t cry it will set me off” Alice warns from my side making Naomi chuckle.

*I can’t believe you’re both pregnant, I am so excited for you both” i exclaim happily clapping my hands.

“You’ll be my midwife won’t you Nova? I know the pack hospital here is amazing but I

would feel more confident with you leading by my side during the birth” Alice admits

quietly.

Hearing that Naomi’s eyes flit to mine, “you’re a midwife?”

Blushing I look down slightly, “I’m a trained doctor and midwife yes. I helped at the

pack hospital back in our old pack and with the Luna assisting with childbirth it seemed to improve the

success rates and also the recovery time for the new mums” I

explain quietly.

Hearing nothing I look up to see Naomi staring at me in amazement. “What?” I ask

chuckling nervously.

“When did you find the time?” She asks amazed.

“Oh well I actually trained in midwifery when I was younger, I started helping when I

was 15 as I had a certain nack for it. Ki has a very strong sense of hearing and we can detect

pregnancies very early on, we can also detect how many babies. Kia is extremely caring and wants to

help, as am I. Midwifery is a natural interest” I admit.

“That’s how you could tell we were both pregnant” she realises.

“Yes” I smile.

“That’s amazing Nova, I’d love for you to be present with Laurence and I also if you

think it could be beneficial” she asks.

“If you want me there I’ll be there, but I can offer any support you might need on the way” I say as I give

her little bump a soft rub.

“Do you want to be a mother?” She asks.

“I’d love to be” I admit, “but not yet.”

“You’d make an amazing mum Nova, I’ve always said so” Alice puts in.

“Thank you” I whisper as I give her a side hug. “So what’s First Ladies?” I ask as we

reach the high street.

“First we are going to have our hair and nails done” Alice exclaims happily, “Flo is meeting us there. I

was in no way letting your sister miss this for some silly border patrol.”

Laughing I shake my head, “silly border patrol? Necessary border patrol you mean. She’s not much of

a girly girl I would have understood.”

“Nope, you’ve missed her like crazy I know you have. This is about spending time with your friends and

family” Alice retorts back quickly making me know she has been waiting for me to give her the

opportunity to say so

“Well I’m excited” I tell them as we walk into a gorgeous little salon.

“Hey ladies how are you all?” I hear Flos cheerful voice exclaim as we have all taken a

seat.

“Good morning birthday lady, you look as stunning as ever” she exclaims drawing me

in for a big hug.

“Kind as ever” I tease her, “but it’s been lovely so far thank you,”

“Good. Now call me intrigued but Theo said you have something for me and I’m a

suc ker for presents. I was going to wait but the suspense is killing me” she laughs

turning to face Alice.

Seeing Alice trying to hide a grin as she blushes slightly I squeeze her arm

encouragingly. “Well not necessarily a present I can give you Flo but..well..you’re

going to be an Aunty” she softly says as one of her hands rests on his flat stomach.

Hearing those words Flo freezes before her eyes flit down to focus on where Alice’s

hand is resting. After a few seconds her face breaks into a large smile showing her

pearly whites as she steps forward and engulfs Alice’s small frame in her arms. “Oh

my goddess, you’re going to be a mum. I’m going to be an Aunty! You have made me

an incredibly happy lady” she squeals excitedly.

Ladies

Laughing Alice returns her hug with the same enthusiasm before they separate as

Flo rests a hand on her stomach. “Theo is going to be a dad” she whispers in

amazement.

“He will be a brilliant dad” I whisper approvingly.

“How cute are your babies going to be. I mean Theo is HOT” Naomi says making us all burst out

laughing.

“I’m going to say its a family trait” Flo replies cheekily.

“Oh of course” Naomi chuckles.

As the ladies start working on our hair I sit back and relax taking some time to go

through the last couple of days. “Someone’s happy” I hear Flo whisper to me as I

realise I’m smiling recalling memories.

Opening my eyes I wink at her giggling softly. Suddenly Flo sits bolt upright much to

the dismay of her hair dresser, “what’s that on your neck?” She asks shocked.

Realising my hair has been moved so my fresh mark is proudly on display I blush as I

realise Flo hasn’t heard the news yet. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“Oh that, say hello to our new Luna” Naomi smirks from my side.

“WHAT?!” Flo exclaims, “and I’m only just hearing this because?!”

“I’m sorry Flo” I say softly reaching out to grasp her hand, “Jax did make an announcement at

breakfast, I know you were patrolling but I thought maybe you

might have been told. He’s my mate.”

With that her eyes filled with tears as she clutched my hand, “I knew it! I couldn’t think of anyone more

perfect to be our Luna. I’m so proud of you you know Nova.”

“Thank you Flo” I whisper trying not to cry myself.

“Oh my goddess does that mean I can help with the Luna ceremony?” She squealed. Seeing my eyes

widen in shock at that question she pauses, “you are having one

right?” She checks sharply.

“Well yes..I assume so. I just was surprised you’d want to help to be honest. I thought you’d be more

interested in organising security on the day” I laugh.

“Well Theo and I will organise that, but for my sister I can definitely be excited to help

plan a Luna ceremony” she smirks.

“Then yes, I will take all the help I can get” I admit.

For the next couple hours we all sit and chat amongst ourselves throwing ideas forward for the Luna

ceremony and chatting about future baby plans. For a little while I’m able to forget about the drama that

is going on in my life and embrace the happiness of those around me and that of mine and Kia.

“Right ladies, we all look beautiful” Alice grins, “time to head back and make sure those men have kept

to schedule.”

“Goddess I hope they have, I wouldn’t want you on my case I know that for sure” I tease her making

her blush.

“I just want it to be perfect for you, you’ve had a lot going on and finding your mate is a big thing” Alice

murmurs in embarrassment.

“I’m grateful Alice, I’m looking forward to tonight” I smile as we all thank the ladies at the salon and

head back to the pack house.
