Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“You did” he shrugs. “But is that necessarily a bad thing? I don’t think so. There have been council members who have taken advantage of the fact you haven’t exposed yourself earlier and look what’s happened. I don’t think you should hide your true self anymore dear, the world needs to know you’re a Guardian Wolf.”
“I can’t believe that man, did you know he was my mums first mate?” Nova asks.
“No” Martin sighs, “and I want you to know that if I had any idea of the anger he felt towards her I would have ensured it was another council member who carried out any official visits to the White Mountain Pack.”
Nova nods her head in acknowledgement before shifting her eyes to look out the window. “Elder Martin, we have reason to believe Doctor Norton could be the other traitor” I begin. “Nova and Luca informed me that it was Frost who dealt with the attack on their parents, but no one knew her mother had had her heart ripped out..that’s a very wolf like way to kill someone, not the method of a hunter. So for that to stay under wrap it must have been agreed upon by the Doctor. Now we don’t know for sure if he is the traitor or if he was commanded to hide that fact from others.”
“That makes sense” he murmurs as he looks to Nova sadly.
“Also Luca informed me the doctor arrived around 2 hours after the attack despite being based at the council building here which is a 3.5 hour journey. Was he visiting another pack at the time and it was simply a coincidence or was it because he knew he needed to get there fast?” I question.
“I’ve had someone send for him” Martin responds. “They are all questions we need answering, I will handle this one and I’ve asked someone to gather Alpha Axton and Beta Luca to be witnesses. You need to take some time to yourself Nova.
“Thank you” I reply as she smiles In agreement.
“I know we didn’t get to speak to you today at the trial Alpha Jax, to be quite honest I don’t think we need to” Martin says thoughtfully, “but I would personally like to know about this spell involving you and Rose?”
“I don’t know” I shrug, “Kia says I won’t be affected by anything, it’s a form of protection.”
“That’s impressive” Martin says with awe as he leans forward on his desk, “so you weren’t affected at all?”
“I mean I didn’t have a drink but no, I wasn’t” he reply.
“May I speak?” Johnathon asks quietly from the corner before Martin gestures for him to proceed.
“I’m not sure you’re aware Elder Martin but if a Guardian Wolfs mate dies then so do they, it’s their biggest weakness” he says throwing me an apologetic glance. “Protecting Alpha Jax from any other form of influence is to protect them both.”
“Oh my goddess” Nova says as she turns to face me looking panicked. “What if they waited for me to turn 25 because then I would have a mate. They could be targeting you to get to me..”
Offering her a small smile I squeeze her hand reassuringly, “to be honest Nova it is something I’ve been thinking of since you told me.”
“Doesn’t it worry you?” She asks quietly.
“No” I say clearly. “I would do anything for you Nova and if they come after me they have another thing coming, I’m a force to be reckoned with also you know” I add on with a playful wink.
“This could be why you gain some of my gifts in times of need” she points out.
“Exactly” I say with a smile. “But trust me Nova, I can protect myself. I’m an Alpha for a reason.”
“He’s right Nova, the Midnight Sky pack is one of the most formidable packs as I’m sure you’re aware. But the reason they’re not spoken about is because of order and peace that Alpha Jax has been able to maintain throughout the last few years, conflict doesn’t come to them for a reason” Martin says turning to address Nova. “He has formed treaties with other packs that have been successful and relations are very positive, the finances are very high and continue to grow. He is invested in many businesses in both wolf territory’s and humans. Plus he has aided the Alpha King on numerous occasions to help bring peace to the northern packs as they struggled with vampires.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?” She asks looking at me with admiration.
“Because it’s what any Alpha should do” I say, “why brag about something that you take on responsibility for when you become an Alpha.”
She stares at me lost for words for a moment before her face splits into a large grin, “seriously, amazing” she winks as she repeats her earlier words.
“Elder Martin whilst I’m here I’d like to request travelling back with my niece when they go home tomorrow” Johnathon says after a few moments of comfortable silence.
“Granted” Martin says without hesitation.
“Thank you” Johnathon says bowing his head.
“Elder Martin I think it’s relevant we inform you of some important news” Nova starts as she glances at me. Knowing what she is about to reveal I nod in silent agreement before she continues speaking, “my father..he’s alive.”
“He’s what?” He asks sharply.
“He’s alive..and he’s a Guardian Wolf” she says as his eyes grow wide in surprise.
“Hang on..your brother is alive?” he asks turning accusingly to Johnathon.
With a grimace Johnathon nods, “I swear I didn’t know where he was. I knew he was alive as I still had the family bond with him but I had to protect him. You know I mentioned the Moon Goddess visited me.”
“I know, relax I can tell you’re telling the truth” Martin says waving his hand, “I’m just surprised.”
“He had another daughter, my half sister Sophie who is 20. She is Lucas mate” Nova admits with a smile.
“3 Guardian Wolves?” He exclaims.
“No Sir, just 2” Johnathon interjects.
“How did you know?” I ask him, “we’ve never mentioned her wolf to you?”
“You only get one Guardian Wolf between siblings, and it’s not necessarily the first born as I can attest to” he explains. “It’s the one the Moon Goddess believes is more deserving of that blessing.”
“More deserving?” I hear Nova ask.
“It just means some have a better natural ability to be leaders, to be fair, to be strong and many other attributes. I myself am a good warrior but even if I trained day in day out I wouldn’t be strong enough for that of a Guardian Wolf” he shrugs.
“Sophie has never shifted, she believed she was wolfless” Nova continues, “but she smells of a wolf so I didn’t know at first. But Kia has explained that her wolf has been bound, we need to find a way to break that.”
“I can help with that” Johnathon says immediately, “I have done it before.”
“You can?” I ask in surprise.
