Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“They’re coming closer” Nova links me suddenly.
Listening I hear two voices coming up the corridor adjacent to where we are.
“She won’t know what’s hit her..”
“I need to go back and inform master that Nova has arrived, you know the plan, don’t let us down..”a deeper voice says which makes my eyes widen.
“Not a fucking chance” Nova snarls through the link as I feel a wave of her anger hit me. Seeing Luca motion for us to move forwards we stalk silently towards the open landing. Seeing only one man walk round the corner Nova immediately moves in and grasps his arm twisting it behind his back and covering his mouth stopping him from calling out.
“I heard everything you just said so don’t you dare try and say otherwise. Where is the other?” She hissed in his ear releasing her aura making him submit instantly.
“He’s gone” he gasps.
“Gone where?” Nova snarls yanking his arm more.
“I don’t know. He comes to me when he wants to, it’s not on my terms” he croaks as she moves her hand to his neck pushing him into the wall.
“A witch? Who is he?” Nova asks with her eyes flashing brightly with Kia.
“Yes. He’s who checks on my reports, he works for the master and is his second in command” he croaks as he tries to fight Novas command to no avail. “I don’t know his name, they’re very secretive.”
“You dare to endanger my mate” I snarl moving forward and slamming my fist into his side making him choke out a howl as Nova tightens her grip on his windpipe.
“You fucking traitor” I spit out landing another blow to his other side as Nova drops him to the floor.
“You’re coming with us” she growls as she grasps his arm and begins to drag him behind her.
Lifting my nose I take a deep breath, “definitely a witch as suspected with Florence’s kidnapping, no scent here of the other man either” I growl annoyed.
“Do you want me to take him?” I link Nova although Zeus is putting at her show of dominance.
“No..this is my fun” she links me back as she turns and gives me a wink, “you just enjoy the show.”
“Why is that weirdly attractive” I link her with amusement.
Turning she looks at me with a raised brow, leaning forward she bites my ear lightly, “you dirty man” she whispers before chuckling and continuing dragging the man behind him.
“Who is he?” I hear Luca ask from behind us.
“Not a clue” I say taking a good look at the man, “I haven’t been with the council for at least 2 years but he looks new to me.”
“He is new” Nova says before gesturing for me to open the dining room door. Slamming them open we gain the attention of the council elders gathered for lunch as all chattering stops and silence envelops the room.
Suddenly with a cough the council head elder Martin stands and gathers Novas attention. “Care to explain why you are dragging Elder Anthony and appear to have caused him physical pain?” He asks.
Stalking in she throws him 15ft forward to land at Elder Martins feet. “Because he’s a traitor” she snarls with venom. “One who is working with a witch to help the hunters find me.”
Hearing gasps of shock around the room I carefully study each individuals faces trying to detect the other two traitors amongst them but there is nothing suspicious that catches my attention.
“He’s what?” Martin growls in anger. “Are you sure about this Nova?”
“Come here” Nova orders him, seeing him scowl at her instruction she chuckles darkly. “I’m not in the mood to be ignored.”
“I’d listen to her Elder” I warn him as Luca and Axton nod their heads in agreement. “You can’t feel the anger running through her at the moment..but I can” I add on with a smirk seeing his face pale slightly.
Seeing him move forward while motioning for two guards to restrain Anthony who is groaning on the floor I look to Nova who is silently seething.
Raising her hands she grasps his temples and closes her eyes showing him everything that she heard and saw whilst on our way downstairs. After a moment his head snaps up and he looks at her in shock, “the hunters are working with witches?!” He exclaims.
“It seems so” she says far too calmly. Walking forward I grasp her hand and pull her to my side slowly rubbing soothing circles on her back as she relaxes slightly under my touch.
As she looks at him I see him incline his head slightly as I realise Kia must have linked him also.
“Well it appears we need to question him” Martin says with an unreadable expression on his face. “Honestly Nova all you seem to attract is bloody drama” he mutters in what I believe to be a light hearted manner.
“I know you’re probably joking Elder but I know for a fact Nova is not in the mood for that from anyone here after the last few weeks so I would keep quiet” I warn him as I see the fire flare in Novas eyes at his words.
“Drag him to the cells” Nova orders the guards.
Seeing them look to Elder Martin for confirmation she snarls and releases her aura slightly causing everyone bar me and Elder Martin to bow their heads in submission.
“I don’t need his bloody permission, take him to the cells..the most protected ones. NOW” she roars her eyes flashing dangerously.
With that the guards immediately grasp Anthony off of the floor and drag him out to take him to the cells.
“Good” she says darkly as she watches them go.
“Bit of an overkill Nova” Elder Frost says snidely as he walks up to beside us.
“Kneel” Nova commands making him drop to his knees immediately in surprise as Luca, Acton and I chuckle.
Grasping his chin in her hands she forces him to look at her, “don’t test my patience Frost. I am no longer the submissive she wolf desperate to help whoever I can. I am now one that is desperate to protect those I love and end this nonsense with the hunters, I have no time for insults, snide remarks or ridiculous room arrangements. I am a grown ass woman who could kill you with one claw..do not push me” she growls before pushing him so he’s sprawled on the floor looking at her in fear.
“Take note” I growl as I look pointedly around the room.
