Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“Witches?” He asks with surprise showing on his face for the first time.
“Yes..witches. This is a different issue we have going on as well, but Nova here has been mated before to Alpha Axton of the White Mountain Pack” I start. Hearing that my uncles eyes widen as he turns to Nova quickly.
“You’re that Nova!?” He exclaims.
“Yes Sir” she murmurs.
“Oh my dear, I know Axtons parents extremely well. The things you did for that pack are simply outstanding!” He praises her making her cheeks flush in embarrassment.
“That’s lovely to hear, thank you” Nova says as I smirk at her.
“Back to the point” I continue, “he met his fated mate at a meeting Nova had arranged, they broke mateship laws and marked one another whilst Nova was suffering betrayal pains. But since that has happened more information has come to light, Rose as she’s called has admitted to using a drug to seduce him so he couldn’t control his lust.”
“I an wondering how he managed to control it better at the meal though” Nova interjects thoughtfully.
“I have a theory” I start, “the first time you were there but he had just felt the supposed mate bond for the first time so was weakened because of that making him more susceptible to it. At the meal you were sat opposite, and as he pointed out the drug then made him lust for you..not Rose. But he controlled it because of you Nova.”
“That makes sense” she agrees quietly.
“Anyway Axton has referred the trial to the council, he wants answers as he’s doubting it is a true mate bond so I wondered if it could involve the work of witches” i muse turning to Henry.
He sits tapping his finger on the desk as he contemplates what I’ve said, “I haven’t heard of it before but that isn’t to say it’s not possible. I think it’s smart of him to have contacted the council and they will get the answers needed.”
“I thought as much” I sighed before leaning back.
“Are you staying the night?” My uncle asks changing the subject.
“I think we should head back, the pack needs our presence and it will ease our state of mind. Laurence has been in touch and has confirmed everything is in order but who knows what’s going to happen with the hunters having not got their way” I reply. “Can Theo stay?”
“Of course, he’s her brother I wouldn’t expect anything different” he replies already knowing what I was going to have said. “I’ll contact you how Florence gets on and we can make the necessary arrangements.”
“Thank you Uncle” I say reaching my hand out for him to shake.
“It’s good to see you Jax, and Luna Nova it was an absolute pleasure to have met you, I hope to see you again” he says sincerely.
“Alpha if I can have a quick word?” Axel requests before Nova has chance to reply.
“Go ahead” Henry replies.
“I’d like to return with Jax following the meeting you have next week, I want to be there to offer support and it is only a month earlier than we had agreed” Axel says firmly.
“That’s a good idea, Jax?” Henry checks.
“I’d like both him and Evan to return” I answer immediately.
“Done” Henry agrees.
Hearing that I smile in relief as Nova steps forward, “thank you for your help, I look forward to seeing you again” she says whilst shaking his hand.
He bats it aside gently before offering her a hug, “we are family, anything you need don’t hesitate to ask.”
“Thank you” she whispers into his shoulder as her lips wobbles slightly with emotion.
Nova POV:
“You’re awake” I exclaim surprised as we walk back into Flos room.
“Uhh” she mumbles as her eyes scrunch in pain.
“Don’t talk, just rest” I instruct before turning to look at Theo.
“How did it go?” He asks before I have chance to speak.
“Good, my uncle is a fair man and is understanding of what we can say about the situation” Jax answers calmly as he keeps his attention on Flo.
“Do you have the strength to mindlink?” He asks quietly.
“Jax..” I mutter knowing we have to ask but wanting my sister to rest. He turns to me with an apologetic look in his eyes but before he can say anything more Flo links us.
“I’ll say what I can about the attack but I will need to rest after, I’m exhausted and the pain medicine will kick in again soon making me sleep” she explains.
“You sure you’re up for it?” I link her quietly.
“Yes” she replies back confidently.
“Ok I have a few questions but the rest we can go over in the next few days” Jax starts. “First what happened?”
“Andrew and I were out running, we’ve been so busy with border patrol and training that we haven’t had much time together recently. I suggested we go for a run whilst we both had some time free as it was the last time we would be able to before going away with Theo and Alice” she explains. “We always shift at that clearing and as we arrived i commented how it felt too quiet, there were no sounds of wildlife around us or anything it was quite eerie. The next thing i know Andrew is falling over and blood is seeping everywhere, I call his name and before I reach him I feel a sting in my neck, I’m positive I heard someone mutter about being quick as the scent masking was wearing off but it’s a bit fuzzy. I’m afraid after that it goes black. Next thing i know I’m in the back of a van surrounded by hunters with weapons pointing at me.”
“Scent masking makes sense” I mutter quietly, “i couldn’t scent the humans until we were basically at the clearing and with Kias senses increasing I should have been able to scent them much earlier. It would also explain how they got into our territory without being traced.”
“But how did they get into our territory so easily?” Theo asks. “Our border patrols are tight so they must have had an extremely small window.”
“How many took you do you know?” Jax asks.
