a pic of your front hub (while NOT mounted on the bike) would help this discussion immensely
you will likely need to either get a Thru-axle hub and lace it to your rim, or get a complete thru-axle wheel assembly, with either choice selected to match the axle size/style of the thru-axle compatible with the fork you select.

I don't imagine the OP is up for an argument about whatever an "actual" 9mm axle hub is. The fact of the matter is that many modern hubs have "9mm axle end caps" that can be swapped to various thru axle end caps.
