Briefing

Nova POV:

“Thank you for this” Ophelia says quietly as I take a seat next to her.

“You have no need to thank me Luna, it’s the right thing to do” I say with a smile.

“What are you going to do?” She asks me.

“Kia says all we need to do is hold your hands and we can both get into a calmer

state, concentrate on your breathing a bit like with meditation and Kia will do the rest” I say to her comfortingly. “It’s not going to hurt you.”

With those words I see her posture visibly relax as I ease some of her worry. “Johnathon has assured me Kia would not have suggested this if she wasn’t 100%

certain. I never doubted her I just am wary when I don’t understand something

completely, but I can’t understand everything can I” I chuckle slightly.

“Kia is brilliant, I have no doubt you can do this” Ophelia says with an encouraging

smile. Holding her delicate hands out to mine I take them gently and we sit facing

one another before closing our eyes and breathing calmly in time with each other.

Feeling Kia push forward as she reaches to connect with Ophelia’s wolf I hear her gasp slightly in reaction and grasp my hands tighter. Rubbing soothing circles on her

hands she relaxes once again as she gets used to the intrusion in her mind and

allows Kia to reach her wolf. Feeling my strength flow through my b*dy I control my

breathing as it my b*dy begins to hum with energy.

After a few moments Kia pulls back in my mind saying she is done so I open my eyes

to see Ophelia gazing at me in wonder.

“She spoke to me, she doesn’t feel as far away now” she whispers. “I’ve missed her

voice” she cries as so bs rack her b*dy.

“Oh Luna” I breath as my eyes sting with unreleased tears, hugging her tightly I murmur in her ear, “please ensure you rest and don’t do anything stressful.”

“Being around pups will help” Kia links us both, “they will bring joy and your wolf will

feel a natural instinct to interact with them. Another reason to live as such.”

“Thank you Kia” Ophelia so bs before Alex pulls her into his arms whispering soothing

words in her ear.

“I’ll give you both sometime” I say before bowing and taking my leave.

“So did you know your dad can heal others?” Jax asks as he drops into the seat beside me whilst we wait for everyone else to ready themselves.

“What?” I ask sharply throwing him a confused look.

“He told us today, Andrew has no scar because he snuck in and healed him” he says with an impressed smile. “I saw him at the training grounds just now and you can’t

even tell he was attacked.”

“Why didn’t he tell me?” I ask quietly hurt.

With a sigh Jax looks at me, “we need to remember his life hasn’t been easy. In the last 25 years he has constantly had to look over his shoulder wondering if he would

get caught, wondering if you were safe, his mate was safe, then he has Sophie to

protect. He’s had a lot to be wary of, and healing is a pretty big gift to have. If the

wrong person found that out then he would have even more people after him, not just

hunters.”

“You’re right” I agree quietly, “I can understand that.”

“He only learnt of it after becoming the new Rogue King” Jax tells me.

“He said Drake grew in size quite recently as well” I muse with pursed l*ps.

“It confirms gifts come in times of need” Jax says, “he healed Sophie after an attack, that’s the first time he used the gift and clearly she is one of the most important people in his life.”

“I wonder what mine will be” I ponder.

“I’m sure we will find out in time” Jax says before standing up.

“Alright everyone, briefing time!” He shouts gaining their attention, “as you know it’s

important that we are not detected during this mission. We are observing NOT

attacking” he says looking around clearly at the others with us. “Axel, Evan and Kingsley you will take the east viewing point as agreed, Nova, Alex and myself will

take the west, we also will have two pairs of warriors at north and south to confirm

their entry routes via the road. Theo you know to join us after, you can wait 2 miles

back and keep your phone on incase I can’t link you.”

Suddenly I feel Kia surge forwards in my head making me bend over with a gasp, “it’ll

only hurt for a second” she tells me as I feel her power flow through me. The feeling

leaves as quick as it comes leaving my b*dy tingling slightly.

“What was that?” I gasp to her as I steady my breathing.

“Nova?!” Jax exclaims rushing to me concern evident across his face.

“I’m fine” I say straightening up as he grasps me to help me.

“You’re not” he says narrowing his eyes as he looks me over.

“I am, it was Kia” I say as his brows furrow in confusion.

“What was?” He asks as I see my dad look at me curiously.

“I don’t know” I admit before asking her.

“Ki?” I ask quietly.

“Get Laurence to scent everyone going” she says quietly.

“Laurence scent is all please” I ask him as he looks at me strangely but does as I ask.

Turning to me in amazement he opens and closes his mouth momentarily before speaking. I can’t..um your scent is masked.”

“That’s new” I laugh as Kia stands proud in my head. “Since when?” I ask her.

“About a minute ago, I just knew to try it…again instinctual” she says slightly sheepishly. “We don’t know what we are going in to, we know humans can’t scent us but what if they have anything else with them. It’s unknown territory, it’s safer this

way” she explains.

“Ki says

because we don’t know for certain it is just human hunters that will be attending it is safer this way” I tell Jax and the group.

“Perhaps this way we can get closer?” Jax asks looking at Axel and Evan as they quickly discuss something between themselves.

Clearing his throat Axel steps forward to speak, “there is a large car park to the west side of the building which is also where the entrance is located. If they are simply

going to park and use the normal entrance which I suppose would look less

suspicious then there is a garage to the right hand side which I believe two of us

could get into without being spotted.”

“Jax and I will go there” I say immediately as Jax nods in agreement.

“Are you sure it’s a good idea you that close?” Alex says to me.

“Our hearing is better, this way we might even be able to hear something thats talked

about. If it gives us the chance to gain more information then yes, I think it’s best” I explain as he quickly debates what I’ve said. “You’re all there for back up as well if it

goes wrong” I point out.

“True” he muses. “Ok I can’t think of anything better so why not.

“Thanks for the vote of confidence” I comment dryly rolling my eyes at him as he

simply smirks and flashes us a thumbs up.

“Alright, everyb*dy knows what they’re doing. Let’s roll” Jax shouts as he jogs for the

vehicles with us all following.
