Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“I’m positive there were only 2 before I blacked out” Flo says.
“That’s not many” I say confused.
“Im sure that’s what I could sense but I know how unlikely it sounds” Flo says sadly.
“I don’t doubt you Flo, I just think there must be more to it that you didn’t have chance to figure out before you were sedated” I reassure her.
“What happened in the van?” Jax asks.
“Not much, again it wasn’t clear at all but I do know at first they were talking about their leader being happy they had been successful and that they would be rewarded. Umm I don’t know much else as I was in and out of consciousness until the van was made to stop and the doors were literally ripped off” Flo explains. “I wasn’t sure who was there and I thought at first it was you all so I tried to kick and fight my way out but I couldn’t move my limbs. A man shouted to another that they had been compromised and to follow plan B, he then proceeded to attack me with a knife I think. Something was stabbing me I’m certain of it and then again I can’t remember anything.”
Reaching forward I kiss her forehead as I stroke her hair softly, “I’m so sorry Flo” I whisper quietly.
“Plan B” Theo says confused.
“If they couldn’t take Flo then they intended to either kill her or harm her so much she lost her wolf, I suspect the latter. If they wanted to kill her they could have shot her I assume?” Jax asks looking at Flo for confirmation.
“I think so” she agrees quietly.
“Florence I’m not going to ask for anything more until you have some rest, but if you do remember anything of importance then please contact us. I know the nurse said at first you may be disoriented and it could take a little while to feel more like yourself. You are healing as a human at the moment as your wolf gains her strength” Jax says giving her a small smile.
“I can’t feel her” she whispers sounding broken.
“She’s there Flo. She’s resting, I asked the nurse to get some blood samples so we can figure out what you were given. Hearing that you can’t feel her makes me think you were given something that stops the connection between your wolf and yourself but she will be back. The nurse thinks it could be another 24 hours before your wolf is able to start healing you” I say stroking her hair comfortingly.
Seeing a tear roll down her face I hold back a sob, “Flo I am so sorry” I whisper again as her eyes flick to mine.
“Don’t ever apologise to me Nova, you saved Theo and me years ago and I will never forget that, what you’ve done for us far outweighs this ordeal. Besides I would do the same all over again for family” she links me sharply.
I nod slowly before looking away trying to stop my emotions for becoming overwhelming.
“How can I mindlink?” She asks confused.
“What?” I ask.
“If I can’t feel my wolf, how can I mindlink?” She asks again.
“Well your wolf is there you just can’t sense her, but Nova can and as can I now and most likely Theo can now as you’re family” Jax points out. “But even if that wasn’t the case you are part of our pack and would maintain that link plus you are mated to a wolf” Jax explains.
Hearing that Flos eyes flit to mine again with tears filling them quickly, “Andrew? Have you heard any more? Theo has filled me in so far.”
“It was the first thing she asked me” Theo chuckles softly.
“Nova and I are going to head back to the pack shortly. We wish we could stay but I’m sure you both understand we need to get back and organise things for the coming days. I’m not comfortable with our plans so we need to figure out a way forward and we need to reassure pack members. I’m sure everyone will be relieved to hear you are doing better. I will call Laurence before we leave and ask about the latest update with Andrew but I’ll also make sure you are updated every few hours” Jax promises looking at Flo clearly.
“We also think as soon as you’re stable we should move you home, you and Andrew will heal quicker closer together with the help of the mate bond” I explain quietly making relief flood Flos features.
Seeing her lids flutter as she fights sleep I rest my head against hers, “sleep Flo. Theo will be right here” I comfort her.
As we wait a few moments for Flos breathing to even out I continue to stroke her hair as my mind races whilst I gaze at the injuries she has sustained because of me.
“2 humans doesn’t sound right” Theo murmurs once we are sure Flo is sound asleep.
“Unless they weren’t only human” Jax says darkly.
“What are you thinking?” I ask him in confusion.
With a sigh he looks at me with a pained expression, “to be honest I’m not sure. Even with Flo sedated in her human form it seems unlikely two humans were able to extract her so quickly without alerting us.”
“But how did I only scent humans?” I ask confused.
“We need to speak to the tracker but we’ve heard about witches recently, do you think it’s too far fetched for them to be involved?” Jax points out.
“I have never heard of hunters teaming with anyone other than other human hunters” I say softly.
“But it doesn’t mean it’s impossible, Flo mentioned how she thought it was eerily quiet..that could be the effect of a spell” Theo says dejectedly.
“But what about during the time your uncle extracted her?” I wonder.
“They could have left by that point” Jax says with a shrug. “Your grandfather could be growing desperate, he has been unsuccessful for many years.”
“True” I sigh. “Goddess why has life become so confusing.”
Seeing Jaxs face sadden momentarily I look at him before quietly asking through the mindlink, “are you ok?”
He looks at me with an unreadable expression, “I should be asking you that.”
“But I’m asking you” I reply quickly.
“I just wish we could have had longer than one day to enjoy being mated before drama strikes. I don’t like us having so much to deal with, I want you and I to enjoy time together..in peace. I also am worried for the pack” he answers making my face soften.
“At least we are doing it together, I wish I hadn’t brought so much drama to everyone’s lives as well. But I’ve come to realise we need to put that to one side, the sooner we deal with all this the sooner we can enjoy our lives together” I say with determination.
Seeing him nod slightly at my mindlink he offers me a small smile, “I love you” he replies simply.
