Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
Seeing tears gather once more in her eyes she breaths deeply resting a hand over her heart before replying, “I would love that” she breathed out. Reaching her hand up to my cheek she smiles, “Reed you beautiful wolf, I’m going to miss you. How about a run before we say bye?”
With that Reeds ears perk up in my mind and he pushes to my forefront showing his eagerness. “I think that’s a yes” I chuckle in amusement, Reed has always had a soft sport for Nova, he acknowledges her position and her role to the werewolves but first and foremost she is his sister.
With that we step back and turn around to undress before shifting. We may be werewolves and nudity be a part of life but it’s still unnecessary to see our siblings naked if it can be helped. Hearing a loud crack of bones as I shift Reed turns around to be greeted by a large wet tongue on his snout. Huffing in pretend annoyance he yips at Kia as she snorts in laughter, butting his head into her side they immediately take off at a sprint, rushing through leaf piles and howling their amusement to the sky. After half an hour we make our way back to our clothes and shift back before wandering back towards the pack house.
“If you ever need me Nova you know where I am, you’re welcome here whenever and that’s a Betas order” I say puffing out my chest.
“Haha thank you Luca” she smiles, “I doubt his fated would be so willing to have me back anytime soon but I’ll be sure to visit you. Plus I will still have visitation rights if I wish to pay my respects to our parents.”
Smiling I reach over and squeeze her hand once more before we stride out of the tree line. We both pause in shock at the sight in-front of us…the crowd of people is so large it looks to be almost the entire pack that have come running to say their goodbyes to Nova.
Looking at her I see she has both her hands over her heart as tears stream down her face, “oh my Goddess Luca” she sniffled.
“They love you Nova” I whisper as we head towards them all.
Nova POV:
Seeing the pack coming to bid me farewell I can’t help the tears streaming down my face as I walk towards them. Seeing the young pups from the nursery standing in a group I head towards them first dropping down onto my knees so I’m at their height.
“Y..you’re having to leave u..us?” A young girl named Delilah sniffles at me.
“Oh love, I am. But you know what?” I whispered.
“What?” She asks.
Reaching up I put one of my hands over her heart, “I may be leaving today but I’ll never leave here. You pups make this world a brighter place and I thank the Goddess every day that I was lucky enough to spend time with you all” I say as they all rush forwards into my arms.
“Group hug!” I hear a young boy named Joe exclaim happily making me giggle.
“We love you Luna Nova” another named Freddie whispered in my ear setting off a chain of them all saying they love me.
“Aw you darlings, and I love you all. I’m sure you’ll see me again, after all my brother is the big scary wolf behind me and he’s not going anywhere” I laugh.
“He’s not big or scary, he’s fluffy!” Delilah exclaims running over to Luca to hug his legs. Seeing my brother narrow his eyes at me he playfully throws his arms up in the air, “I told you that would happen when you made me give them all a ride on Reeds back!” Causing their parents to chuckle in amusement.
Stepping forward I walk through the pack members squeezing hands reassuringly and uttering my thanks at their appearance here. Reaching the front I walk up the steps to look down at everyone before taking a deep breath to steady myself, sensing my emotions Luca walks up beside me and places a large hand on my shoulder lending me his strength.
“I just went to say thank you so much for allowing me to be your Luna for the past 3 years, I have truly loved every minute spent with you all and I am so proud of where we have gotten to. Without your hard work, dedication and most of all trust in me as your Luna we couldn’t of gotten to where we are today. I’m proud to know I’m leaving a pack as gracious and strong as you and I trust you will provide your new Luna with the same support you gave me. Thank you all for coming and wishing me farewell, it truly means the absolute world to me” I say as I pour my heart into my short speech.
Hearing a chant go up “LONG LIVE THE TRUE LUNA, LONG LIVE THE TRUE LUNA” i sob and turn into my brothers chest needing comfort as I hear the love my pack has for me.
“That was just perfect Nova, they are all sad for you to be going but I am certain they will follow your wishes and support our next Luna, she has some hard enough footsteps to follow as it is” I hear Luca mutter in my ear.
Sniffling I step back and wipe my tears away before rounding my shoulders in steely resolve.
Hearing the pack house door bang open rattling off of it hinges I step back in surprise as everyone quietens down. Luca steps aside and stands beside me grasping my shoulder once again as Axton marches over fury etched across his faces his eyes darkened with those of his wolfs.
“HOW DARE YOU TURN THE PACK AGAINST THEIR NEW LUNA” he roars at me.
“What!?” I gasped in disbelief.
Seeing his fated mate step out of the house with tears streaming down her face as her bottom lip wobbled I look at Luca in confusion.
“True Luna? The true Luna is my FATED mate here, Luna Rose! How dare you try and turn the pack against her before she has even had the chance to greet them herself!?” He spits at me in anger.
Suddenly a wave of red hot fury flashes across me as I take a step towards him. “How dare I?! HOW DARE you!? I have done nothing but support this pack and you, you would not be who you are today without me! And as for turning your pack against your new Luna I have done no such thing” I spat back at him.
Seeing him bristle in anger as he lets his aura out I refuse to lower my gaze or pretend to show my neck in submission. “You know full well that does not work on me Axton, release the pack immediately for they have done no wrong here.” I say clearly with authority.
Snarling in anger he steps forward so he is looking down at me, his chest pushed out in a sign of dominance. “What filth have you been spreading for them to be chanting that?” He growls at me.
“Alpha if I may?” A warrior steps forward shakily raising his gaze to Axtons, seeing Axton nod for him to speak he continues, “Luna Nova here was just expressing how she wishes for us to show our new Luna Rose the same support we showed her when she became our Luna three years ago.” Gulping he continues, “we were simply showing our gratitude at her dedication to her for her time here as Luna, we will all miss her, the pups are heartbroken she will be leaving us. I swear that is the truth and you can Alpha command me if you wish to verify that.” He adds on bravely at the end. Hearing a loud ripple of agreement behind me at what he said I see Axton look down at me in surprise.
Scoffing I walk back to Lucas side before looking at him, “when have I ever acted in the manner you assumed I had just then?”
Seeing him look away in embarrassment I wait for him to speak. After a minute he swings his head back to me taking a deep breath, “I apologise for my rash reaction then, it was wrong of me and I won’t be doing it again. Please accept mine and Roses apology.” He says reaching his hand out behind him to clasp that of his new Lunas. Feeling tears threaten to fall I blink a couple of times before smiling graciously, “it’s a pleasure to meet you Rose, I hope you enjoy the pleasure of being Luna to this wonderful pack.”
Rose neither smiles nor speaks in response, rather I receive a cold nod of her head in acknowledgment to my words her gaze looking me up and down.
Luca clears his throat from beside me, “Alpha I will just walk my sister to her ride and bid her farewell and then I will be back to fill you in on what you have missed.”
“Farewell? You’re leaving?!” Axton exclaims.
Nodding my head I speak, “yes I am. Alpha Jax has been gracious enough to extend a position within his pack for both myself and Alice so we will be leaving with him now our talks between the packs have seized.”
“YOU CANT LEAVE” Axton roars at me once again.
“And why is that?” I ask him softly not wanting to anger him further.
“You’re still MY LUNA” he growls, “not only that but we have it in writing that you would stay and help the future Luna prepare for her role within this pack, it was a clause you ensured was within the agreement.”
“That agreement is now null and void” I say calmly.
“Is it fuck” he growls back at me, ” you will be staying like agreed and that is final.”
