Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“Yeah definitely, you have been so helpful in my time here and we work closely. Plus with your knowledge and interest in Guardian Wolves I think it would be beneficial if you join us” I explain.
“I’d like that Nova, thank you” he says squeezing my hand.
“Here you go” Jax says in my ear as he bends over with a plate of food for me.
“Eee that looks amazing” I squeal as i take in the food in front of me making Jax and Laurence burst into laughter.
“What’s so funny?” I ask pausing with a forkful of food halfway to my mouth.
“We have never met someone who loves food like you” Laurence splutters out.
“Food is life” I state, “it’s my warrior side coming out” I add on before devouring my plate.
“I’ve asked Laurence to join us for lunch Jax, but I did say I’d check with you if that would be alright?” I say as I finish.
“Yes of course it is, you have whoever you want there. Luca said he’d be expecting a call after” he lets me know.
“That’s great thank you” I reply. Sitting back I wait for Theo and Flo to come meet me to head down to training whilst I run through what I want to speak to my father about.
Speaking to Kia we agree we should find out more about our mother and what happened to her. From what he said yesterday and the hurt that was in his eyes we have to assume she is no longer alive. But it would be nice to know for certain. We also want to know more about Guardian Wolves, he has lived as one and has more experiences..especially with Kia awakening when we turn 25. The council has been helpful but I can imagine hearing a first hand account would be better for us.
Seeing Theo and Flo by the door I stand and excuse myself before jogging over.
“Morning Nova” they say in unison.
“Still not used to that” I laugh at them.
“It’s a twin thing” Theo shrugs punching my arm lightly.
“How are you both?” I ask.
“Good, we are actually going away next week for a couple of nights with our mates. Jax has granted us leave which is amazing” Flo exclaims excitedly.
“That’s awesome! You’ll love spending time with Alice, you two will get on brilliantly I just know it” I say happily.
“Get ready though Theo” I say playfully.
“Why?” He asks nervously.
“Because if you think Alice will be there to stop Flo being her typical mischievous self then you are royally screwed. Alice will 100% make it worse” I say laughing at his panicked expression.
“I never thought about that” he mumbles.
“Well you and Andrew best get prepared, plus if you let Alice have any wine you will be in for a crazy night..although maybe that’s what you want” i wink at him making him blush.
“Please tell me you didn’t just make a joke about your brothers sex life” he says burning a bright red.
“Love it’s not a joke..I’m telling you it will be crazy” I laugh, “plus if you don’t want your sex life discussed with your sisters I’d maybe mention something to Alice” I add on innocently.
“She hasn’t” he exclaims mortified.
I just shrug and look away laughing.
“Has she?” Flo linked me curiously.
“She tried but I stopped her, I figured Theo wouldn’t want me to know the details. But he doesn’t have to know that” I answer her making her giggle loudly.
“Right let’s get training” i exclaim bumping their shoulders playfully leaving Theo looking a bit shocked.
Nova POV:
Looking in the mirror I try to relax and calm my fast beating heart, the nerves I’d tried to ignore all morning are increasing as I know my father will be arriving soon. Nodding in approval at how my cream dress fits my boobs and waist perfectly before loosening into a short flowing sun dress, I glance at my shiny dark hair and admire the loose waves.
“You look beautiful Nova” I hear Jax say huskily before his large hands grip my waist as he steps behind me. Looking up at him in the mirror I offer him a small smile of thanks. Sensing my nerves he drops his head leaving me a lingering kiss on my neck, “I’ll be right next to you love and Kia is with you always. Don’t worry” he comforts me.
Turning round I give him a chaste kiss before breathing in his scent deeply which immediately calms my racing heart, looking up with resilience I walk towards the door as I say “ok let’s do this.”
As we head downstairs I can hear murmured conversation coming from the smaller dining room we will be using for our lunch. Opening the door I immediately meet the bright blue eyes of my father as he stands eagerly to meet me.
“Nova..” he breaths his nerves also showing, “you look gorgeous..just like your mother.”
Hearing that I feel butterflies as it’s the first mention I’ve ever had as to what my mother looked like. “I look like her?” I ask quietly.
He nods before gathering himself to reply, “you look exactly like her, but you have my eyes.”
“Do you have any photos?” I inquire nervously.
“I actually brought you some for you to keep if you would like them” he says offering me a small envelope.
Taking it I look down at the envelope for a moment before opening it and pulling out the first photo slowly. Looking at it brings fresh tears to my eyes as my fingers shake slightly. Jax brings his hand round to cradle mine holding the picture lending me his strength. In the photo is a man who is clearly my father, he’s younger with tanned skin and thick hair, his eyes shining brightly looking into the camera with a large smile across his face, his dimples more prominent than now. My eyes shift to the lady stood tucked into his side and I gasp slightly, she is the mirror image of myself with the only difference being her hazel eyes which look almost golden with the sun shining on them as it is in the picture. Her hair is waist length and wavey just like mine, she has large eyes framed by thick lashes and her mouth is open in a large smile showing her perfectly straight teeth. In her arms is a newborn baby, wrapped in a blanket as she is sleeping peacefully.
“That’s the day we brought you home, you were only a day old at that point. It was one of the happiest days of my life” my dad murmured as he came to stand in-front of me gazing down at the photo.
Holding the photo against my chest I smile through my tears, “this means a lot..thank you.”
