Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“Of who to protect” he says, “now it will be instinctual and I know it will always be the correct one. But that is because you have had the time to train and become the formidable woman you are today. With your mother if you had known earlier then your need to find her most likely would have outweighed your logical thinking of what was the best way to do so. Now you clearly know that waiting and coming up with a plan with as much information as you can gather is the smarter move, otherwise you wouldn’t be here.”
“Why do you think Novas grandfather wants her and her father to find each other even if it makes them more dangerous?” Jax asks suddenly.
“Because that will also be when they’re at their weakest, and by that I mean they will still be extremely hard to kill but they will be weakened by their love and their need to protect one another which makes them more vulnerable. Especially after everything you both have experienced in your lives” Johnathon says gravely.
“So he planned this” I gasp.
“Maybe not planned but definitely waited to see if it could happen” Johnathon agrees.
“And my mother?” I ask hestitantly.
Sighing he looks at me sadly, “I have tried to find her over the years but your grandfather is always one step ahead of me. But I think together we can.”
“Do you really?” I ask biting my lip to stop the cries from escaping.
“Yes” he says stepping forward and hugging me once again, “I will come back with you on Friday. It’s time I see my brother.”
After embracing for a moment he steps back and gestures to the pile of books behind him. “I will go get us some refreshments, why don’t you both have a look through these. I have included my notes I have made over the years and any information on your mother that i was able to find.”
“Thank you..uncle” I say with a shy smile.
His eyes fill with happiness at my words as he flashes me a toothy grin, “I have waited a long time to hear you say that.”
Jax POV:
A couple of hours later and I look over at Nova to see her engrossed in an ancient looking book. Admiring her scrunched up brows as she concentrates on the information she’s teaching I can’t stop the small smile playing on my lips.
“Stare any longer and you might as well take a picture” Nova says before looking up with a smirk.
“Ah you caught me” I chuckle, “anything interesting in there?”
“There is actually” she says thoughtfully, “have you felt any different since we’ve marked one another?”
“Different how?” I ask confused.
Shrugging she just looks at me with her big eyes. “Umm I don’t think so, although I don’t know for certain. I mean it’s been a very busy few days” I point out. “I haven’t had time to train or work out or anything really.”
“True” she says before looking back down, “why?” I ask gently.
“It says after being marked some of my gifts may transfer over to you or come to you in moments of need” she mutters making my eyes widen.
“Seriously?” I gape.
“Yup” she says with a pop before looking at me closely. “Your senses?”
“Same as always” I say with a shrug.
“Hmm well it’s something to keep an eye out for isn’t it” she says softly before turning her attention back to reading. “Don’t take this the wrong back but I wish Laurence was here, he would find this all interesting and he would be a lot more efficient than us.”
“Ha, I was thinking the same about an hour ago love. We will have to come back and read some more later love, we have to go and interrogate Anthony” I say bringing her attention back to myself.
“Are you happy to know the truth about Johnathon now?” I ask as we stand and ready ourselves to leave.
“Yeah and I feel pretty silly for not noticing how identical our eyes are, it’s pretty obvious as well after seeing dad. They have the same cheekbones, eyebrows, ears..I mean now I know I can’t stop noticing similarities” she chuckles.
“Well he’s over the moon” I tell her as I recall the spring in his step as he dropped us off some coffee earlier.
“He’ll be even happier on Friday” she smiles.
We walk down to the cells hand in hand and meet Elder Martin staring daggers at a pitiful looking Anthony who is chained to a chair.
“I’m going to hand the reigns to Nova for this one” Martin says without sparing us a glance.
My eyebrows shoot up at his words as I can’t stop my surprise from showing through the bond, Novas head snaps up to look at mine as she pulls a frustrated face.
“Don’t you dare doubt me Jax” she growls dropping my hand. Holding my hands up in surrender I shake my head quickly, “no I know and I most definitely don’t doubt you. I’m just used to leading interrogations or have Laurence do it when necessary. I’m sorry it was a natural response but honestly I have no qualms with you leading. Quite obvious you can handle yourself” I joke at the end.
“Hmm good” she says narrowing her eyes slightly before turning to Martin.
“Limitations?” She asks quietly.
“No death” he says simply.
Nodding she turns and flings the cell door open making Anthony’s eyes snap to her in fear as he attempts to shrink back into the chair.
Chuckling darkly she crouches down in front of him making sure he can’t avoid her piercing gaze. “Well well Anthony..it seems you’ve ran out of luck.”
“W..what do you want?” He stutters out pathetically.
“It’s pretty obvious is it not?” She asks coldly, “but we will start with why you betrayed me? And why you went against the council by working with the hunters?”
He stares at her for a moment as he appears deep in thought before Novas arm flies out and twists 2 of his fingers back snapping them before he has time to blink.
With a howl he bares his teeth at Nova as she smiles coldly in amusement, “scary” she whispers mockingly.
