Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“Tell me” she commands making him tilt his neck in submission.
“Why not just do that to start?” I link her trying to bite back a laugh.
“This way is more fun, and what he deserves” she replies back throwing me a wink.
“My mum” Anthony starts through gritted teeth, “they killed her and have said if I don’t do what the Master orders then…then they won’t give my sister back to me.”
“His sister?” Martin asks as Nova asks a similar question.
“You have a sister? Tell me more” she orders.
“She was travelling to Red Moon Pack for my mother’s funeral and her mate was away helping protect another pack. She was ambushed on the way and I found her car abandoned on the side of the road shortly after the funeral. As I was checking it out I was apprehended by 3 hunters, i was injected with something to prevent me communicating with my wolf. They showed me a photo of Bethany, my sister, and she was tied up and unconscious. If I did what they asked she would be returned” he cries.
“That was years ago?” Nova asks shocked.
“They continued to ask things of me and like a fool I followed” he says quietly.
“And Bethany?” Nova asks quietly.
“I haven’t seen her since a week prior to her being taken” he whispers.
“How often do they contact you?” Nova asks.
“There is no pattern” he admits.
“Have you ever contacted them?” Nova probs. After a moment of silence Nova cocks her head, “I thought you’d have learnt this by now.”
Seeing his face fill with horror she lifts her hand and extends her claws before holding them up and admiring them, “amazing really isn’t it? Something this deadly is hidden away in our bodies.” Without giving him the chance to reply she slices a deep cut from his shoulder diagonally across his chest before repeating on the other side forming a large X as it begins to drip with blood.
“She’s magnificent” Zeus purrs as I can’t help but agree. Crying in pain he shakes his restraints to no avail as he growls at Nova.
“Don’t you growl at me” Kia snarls to him making him shake in terror, “respect” she demands loudly making him quieten.
“I have a burner phone, hidden in my room under a floorboard of all things” he scoffs. “I used it once, when I saw you arrive today. I’ve never used it before as any information I had previously was not urgent enough. Elder Martin didn’t tell everyone of your arrival until you were here so I had no way of informing them sooner.”
“Ok” Nova says, “but I am intrigued. When I heard you talking to the witch I heard you mention a plan..tell me what it is?”
“No no” he whispers as he stares at Nova.
“Do I have to make you?” She asks taking a step towards him and grasping his chin before trailing a claw down his cheek and lightly across his neck breaking the skin.
He looks at her with horror before she huffs in annoyance and her aura pushes out once again making him submit.
“Friday morning I am supposed to ask you to just have a look at the guards training before you leave, there I would inject you with the vial I have by the phone in my room and it will make you loose your connection with your wolf for a short period of time. In that time I’d question you to find out if you had found your father as you would be susceptible to being commanded without your wolf” he admits. “I would report my findings back using the phone and they would contact me again if I’m required.”
Without a word Nova turns and steps out of the cell before looking at me silently.
“You did good” I say softly, “I expected more violence actually.”
“What’s the point” she says with a shrug, “he was doing this because of his sister. I doubt if they didn’t have her he would be working with them. Don’t you think he’s suffered enough.”
“You handled it perfectly” I say dropping a quick kiss on her lips before she turns to look back into his cell.
“We will find his sister, he needs to know she is safe before we decide on his fate” she says to Martin seriously.
“Why?” He asks.
“Because as much as what he’s done is wrong, he must love his sister and I know what it’s like to loose people. I may be ruthless when necessary but I still have a heart, he’s gone against his morals for years to try and get her back” she says with a sad smile.
“You’re too kind” Martin says as his lips curl upwards.
“No..he’s just broken already” she murmurs looking at the shell of the man in the cell.
Nova POV:
“So I’ve just spoken to Laurence and everything is going fine at the pack, Axel and Evan are busy compiling information on places mentioned for hunter meetings on Hannah’s phone. I’ve suggested they wait till we are back to go and scout places” Jax says as he takes a seat next to me on the bed. “But I have some good news for you..Florence is back and recovering with Andrew. They should be ok to return to their suite tomorrow and I’ve asked Naomi and Alice to lend a hand if they need anything.”
Hearing that I smile as relief fills my body, “oh thank the goddess.”
“How are you feeling?” Jax asks looking deep into my eyes.
“I feel a bit strange, I need to tell you something. I didn’t go that hard on Anthony one because he will suffer enough from the council alone and two because he did it out of desperation. But also I swear I could feel his emotion and it was quite overwhelming” I admit.
“You could feel his emotion?” Jax asks in shock.
“Yes. Not like how I feel yours through the matebond but when he admitted to what he did wrong it was like my body was doused in sadness and guilt. When he spoke about his sister I could literally feel the love he has for her pulse through my body” I try and explain. “I couldn’t feel anything from the pain I inflicted.”
“Have you felt that at any other time?” Jax asks intrigued.
“I think I felt it earlier when Johnathon admitted to being my uncle, I felt the love he had for me. I think I have been experiencing it since my birthday but this evening had me realising it and it’s become much more apparent. But it’s not all the time, I think it’s when there are strong emotions involved” I muse as I fiddle with the duvet sheet.
“We have a lot more information to read that Johnathon has found so we can look into it tomorrow, I wonder if there is a way Kia can help shield you from it so it doesn’t become overwhelming” he suggests thoughtfully. “Would you like a bath running? It will help us relax.”
Hearing that my ears perk up, “us?” I tease.
