Nova POV:

“I can’t blame you” Sophie says quietly, “I would have had the same reaction.”

“I know, but I still feel guilty” I admit as I realise she knew that would have been our first thought.

“Well don’t, please” she says with a small smile.

“So you confronted Hannah?” I ask getting back to the topic at hand.

“Yeah” she sighs, “I told her I was fighting with dad and I needed to let loose for al while. We met at a

hotel under the pretence of going out to a club for the night. But I said I fancied some food first so I

drove to a quiet diner and suggested getting some fresh air with a walk to clear my head. She

suspected nothing” she chuckles darkly. “I restrained her and told her I knew who she was. She was

terrified, she told

me..everything.”

“What do you know?” I ask interested.

“I know your grandfather knows Caroline is here, I also know he has 3 spies, all high

up and they tell him everything there is to know about you” she admits.

“Anything about dad?” I check concerned.

“No” she says shaking her head, “I lied about where i lived whenever i spoke to Hannah about home, it

was part of the agreement of dad allowing me to go to

college. But also i never told people the truth of where we were, I grew up not trusting others and it was

dad’s strict instructions to never expose our whereabouts.”

“So why didn’t grandfather do anything if he knew where I was?” I ask.

“Because he knew one day dad would find you, and he’s been waiting for that day” she says quietly.

“Anything else?” I ask calmly.

“I know how many hunters there are under his control and I know he’s planning an attack on you. But if

they find out what happened to Hannah that may change” she

admits wincing.

Explanation

“Do you think they will in the next week” I ask quietly.

“I don’t think so, I had the idea to send a text off of Hannah’s phone saying she was spending 10 days

with me and that in that time she can’t risk being found so she

wouldn’t be contacting them” Sophie says.

“Impressive idea” I praise her making her blush slightly.

“Well it was common of her to disappear for a little while and then report back her findings I realised

once I looked through her phone. I’m confident they won’t suspect. anything, she has no trackers on

her phone either I checked” she says a little

flustered from the compliment I paid her.

“Nice” I smirk. “You’ve done a good job Sophie. Admittedly would have liked to know beforehand but I

know you were protecting us and for that I’m thankful. Are you ok though? I can imagine today has

been a long day.”

“I’m nervous to face Luca, what if he hates me” she whispers.

“Why would he hate you?” I exclaim.

“I spent time with your parents killer, she was involved in the attack Nova. It was there on her phone”

she admits looking scared to tell me. “I have it with me for you to look.

at.”

“You didn’t know Sophie, you were used do you hear me? This is not your fault” I

comfort her. “Luca will have been worried for you, yes at first he was angry when we

discovered the photo but Jax spoke to him..and me. Jax didn’t believe for one

moment that you could betray us.”

“Really?” She whispers surprised.

“Yes. He made some extremely valid points” I explain.

“Nova love are you ok?” Jax links me making me realise I’ve been gone a while.

“Jax has linked me, are you up for going to the office?” I ask.

Squaring her shoulders she nods her head determinedly, “yes, I need to tell them

myself.”

“That a girl” I wink before going to get my coffee. “D amn” I moan as I pick up my cold cup. “Let me just

make a fresh one, I need caffeine” I say making her chuckle lightly,”

do you want one?”

“Please” she smiles politely.

“I’m glad we got to chat Sophie, I’m sorry we haven’t been able to spend more time.

together but once this has all calmed down we will. I’ll make sure of it” I promise her.

“I’d really like that” she murmurs happily.

Turning with the tray I jerk my head to the stairs, “come on then, I’ll lead the way.”

“On my way up love, I’m not alone. Don’t let anyone react badly” I warn him.

“Ok..?” He asks through the link fishing for more details.

“See you in a minute” is all I say as we head up the stairs.

Opening the door I smile reassuringly at Sophie, “look who found me” I say lightly ast

we walk into the room together.

“S…Sophie?!” Luca exclaims in shock as he stands from the sofa. Seeing everyone else pause as they

take in my relaxed stance I smile lightly.

“Sophie has a lot to tell you, but I’m going to make it clear as I can tell that Luca is itching to check on

his mate. She did not in any way betray us, she did what she did to protect us” I say clearly as relief

spreads across my father’s face.

With a sigh of relief Luca rushes to her and wraps her in his arms holding her tightly to him, “I thought

you’d left me” I heard him whisper.

“I’m so sorry Luca” she says into his chest whilst reaching an arm around to stroke his back

comfortingly. “You’ll never lose me.”

“Sophie are you ok?” Dad asks stepping forward looking concerned.

“Yes dad, I’m ok. I promise” she says with conviction.

“Why don’t you sit down Sophie and tell them everything you told me” I say gesturing to the sofa. With

a nod she turns to sit down but Luca pulls her down onto his lap in

comfort.

Seeing Jaxs bewildered face I walk over and sit on his lap as well dropping a soft k*ssi on his lips, “just

listen, you were right.”

fiercely

With a smile stretching nemss her face at his words she blushes and tucks her face

into Lucas chest much to everyone’s amusement

“I’m so proud of your darling, your mother would be as well” my dad says quietly making a few tears

escape her eyes

“Thanks dad” she whispers.

“I’d rather have it than not dad” she says looking at him not giving him room to

“I wish you had let me mark you Soph Their Luca say quietly, “I just want to protect you, I don’t mind

that you can’t mark me”

Stroking his check she smiles, “I know only said no because of today, I knew you would try to find me

As he grins widely I chuckle, “remind me not to go near your room tonight” joke

making everyone laugh.

“You can mark him Sophie” Kia links her allowing everyone to hear “Maybe not right

now but you will be able to at some point”

“What?” Sophie asks in shock

“You have a wolf, I can sense her. But there is something stopping her from emerging, Thave a feeling

it has something to do with when you were born, maybe the hunters had help then and wanted to stop

Sophie gasp

“Really?” she asks excitedly

“You can mark me” Luca grins against her lips looking excited.

“Oh go upstairs you two, you’ve agreed to stay another night haven’t you?”I chuckle,” maybe you can

help her wash” I suggest to Luca wiggling my brows.

“Yes Luna” he smirks before leaping up with her in his arms, “well that’s my cue, good night all” he

smirks before racing from the room.

“That’s my daughter” dad says grimly.

“Part of life dad, don’t pretend you’re innocent” I smirk making him chuckle.

“Fair point” he shrugs.
