Chapter 18

Pack Night

Nova POV:

“Hey ladies, do you need help with anything?” I ask as I walk into the busy kitchen seeing everyb*dy getting things ready for the movie night.

“Could you be a doll and check that all the treats are ready in the trays for me?” A friendly older Omega called Laura asked me.

“Of course! Shall I take them through to the lounge for when people start to arrive?” | check.

“That would be wonderful, I’ve got some more in the fridge for later on but I know after weekend training some people are always very hungry” she laughs lightly.

Releasing a chuckle I head to the dining room next door and quickly start checking the trays and running them through. Walking into the lounge I see all the sofas have been organised in cinema style with a bunch of beanbags, cus hio ns and blankets have been brought into the large room with a screen pulled down at the front. Seeing the tables are set up buffet style I quickly grab a couple of vases with flowers and

string a few packs of lights up I saw in a cupboard the other day to make the room

look more cosy. Getting some glasses out of a nearby storage cupboard I polish them

and step back admiring how welcoming the room looks.

“Wow!” I hear Naomi say as she comes up behind me, “this looks lovely” she

compliments.

“Thank you, I just thought it would be a bit more welcoming” I shrug trying to ignore

the blush I feel from her compliments.

“It’s amazing Nova thank you, plus it saves everyone walking in and out to get drinks I’m not sure why someone hasn’t thought of that earlier” she laughs.

“Well I’m glad you like it” I say, “feeling better now?”

“Much! Your idea of ginger biscuits worked a treat honestly, I feel much more energised from not spending my morning over a toilet” she says pulling a face of

disgust.

Patting her arm I smile softly in comfort, “if you ever need anything just ask.”

She turns to look at me suddenly getting teary, “I know it’s the hormones making me

overly emotional but..thank you. It means a lot.”

“Honey this looks wonderfull” I hear Laura exclaim as she walks through, “you’ll have

to help me more often.”

“Anytime you need me just let me know” I say happily.

“So how long does this normally last for?” I ask Naomi.

“Oh we normally watch a couple of movies before people start to trickle off. Whoever ends up here last turns everything off. I know it’s a bit ew but as soon as the movies.

start everyone is off duty, apart from if there is an emergency of course.. so nothing gets tidied away tonight, instead everyone comes down in the morning and puts their fair share of time in to helping clean up” Naomi says as we take a seat near the front.

“It’s only a little mess, I think that’s brilliant that everyone gets the evening off” I put my thoughts forward.

Seeing her stifle a yawn I giggle, “oh love you’re going to be asleep before the end of the first movie” I joke.

“If you gave me 10 minutes I’d be asleep, I might feel energised but I still could sleep whenever” she laughs back, “I will take any rest I can at the minute.”

“Well it is twins, double the work” i muse, “are you going to replace out the gender?”

“Definitely! We can replace out in a couple of weeks, we are both far too impatient to wait

another few months” she lets me know.

“Let me go get us some water, I’ll be right back just relax” I smile as I get up heading

back to the kitchen.

After getting some glasses I walk back to the lounger and pause in the doorway as I see Jax and Laurence looking around at the lights I’ve put up. “Why haven’t we done

this before?” I hear Laurence ask Jax.

“Not a clue

but we should” Jax replies sounding impressed.

I smile inwardly as I sit back down on the sofa next to Naomi, “here you go” I say seeing her struggling to keep her eyes open I grab a blanket from nearby and pass her it just as Laurence sits down besides her wrapping her in his arms.

“Tired darling?” He whispers

“When aren’t I” she mumbles, “I blame Nova for making it so cosy in here.”

Laurence’s eyes flash to mine as it clicks, “you did this?”

Nodding slowly, “yeah I just thought it’d be cosy and relaxing for everyone.”

“It looks great Nova! Jax and I were just wondering why we haven’t done it like this before” he mentions.

“Mind if I sit here?” I hear Jaxs deep voice ask from behind me making me shiver.

Patting the spot next to me I try to calm my racing heart, “sit” I say softly.

“Hey boss Nova did all this” Laurence tells him gesturing at the lights and table set up

at the back.

Hearing a rumble of laughter from Jax I turn to look, “I had a feeling it was, it had a

Luna feel to it.”

“Ex-Luna” I correct him.

“Hmm” he replies gazing at me not giving anything away.

I

As the movie starts the lights dim and I feel Jax move closer to me so his leg is

pressed against me, “come here” he whispers wrapping his arm around my shoulder

so I can rest my head on him.

“Thanks” I whisper back as I sink in to his warmth. Looking over at Naomi I see she’s

already fallen asleep and I can’t stop a giggle from escaping me. Jax looks down at

me and I motion to Naomi, “she looks adorable.”

Hearing a few whispers from people around us as he pulled me closer I focused on the movie that was playing. When it finished Jax stood up but not before saying he’d grab us some food and a drink.

Looking over at Naomi who was now awake I saw her already looking at me, “yes?” I

asked nervously.

“You two are very close” she comments casually.

I couldn’t stop the smile from spreading across my face, “I can’t replace my mate until I’m

25, I can feel sparks with Jax and I’ve never had that before. We are waiting to know

for definite but I’m struggling to come up with a reason that we aren’t” I admit.

Seeing her eyes widen she claps her hands excitedly, “oh I hope you are! I haven’t seen him this relaxed in a long time, and Ive definitely never seen him look at a woman the way he does you.”

Noting she hasn’t enquired about why I can’t replace my mate until I’m 25 it reminds me of how accepting people are to others in this pack, “me too” I agree quietly in response to her.

After a few minutes Jax returns and sits close to me handing me a plate, “I wasn’t sure what you would want so I brought a bit of everything” he says.

“That’s perfect thank you” I reply.

“Like you” he links making me smile into my food.

“Charmer” I reply cheekily making him grin.

As the second movie starts he pulls me close and pulls a blanket around us which I

hadn’t seen him grab. He leans back so I’m snuggled in to his chest as he wraps his arms around me and lifts his legs up onto the table in-front. As I try to pay attention to the movie I feel my eyes start to get heavy half way through as I listen to the steady

rhythm of Jaxs heartbeat.

“Sleep” he links me before I succumb to the darkness,

All to soon I feel myself being lifted by a set of strong warm arms, burying in to a hard

chest I sigh happily enjoying the sparks. “Come stay with me?” I hear Jaxs deep voice

rumble in my ear.

Opening my eyes I look up into his soft green ones and place my hand on his chest, “ok then” I whisper before I drift back to sleep in the comfort of his arms.
