Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“What punishments?” I ask in horror.
“Oh all sorts but it was never visible if I wore my day to day clothes, he was careful about that. It went on for a few years but once I got to 18 I hit back, since then he backed off and my father and I have gotten on pretty well. I didn’t allow for him to ever let my brothers suffer the same and maybe that’s why he has a thing against them at times. I thought we’d put the past behind us” he sighs.
“But why?” I ask
“It was the way his father was, then he wanted to be the same but my mother would never have agreed so yeah..he threw me into pack duties and made me help with paper work instead of going out” he explains.
“That’s harsh for a child” I say, “even an Alpha.”
“I know, but honestly he made changes in the last few years, I’m disappointed now” he says as he rubs my thighs absentmindedly.
“Let’s go” I say surging to my feet.
“To?” He asks standing up slowly.
“To speak to your father” I growl leading him from the room.
Jax POV:
Seeing Novas determined face as we march to my parents suite has Zeus puffing his chest out in pride of his mate.
“Her protectiveness of her mate is coming out, combined with the nature of Kia it’s magnificent isn’t it” he says in awe.
“It is” I agree.
Seeing her step slightly behind me as we reach their door I appreciate her knowing this is for me to handle.
Knocking 3 times I hear shuffling behind the door before it opens and my mother’s welcoming face appears.
“Oh Jax, Nova! What a pleasure” she beams, “come in come in. I’ve been meaning to find you.”
“How are you ma?” I ask gently not giving away my inner anger.
“Better for seeing you” she replies cheerfully as she embraces Nova in a hug. “I have some ideas for you, do you have time to look through?”
“Is pa around?” I ask quickly as Nova shoots me a look.
“He will be back in 15 mins love if you can wait?” Mum asks her eyes hopeful.
“Of course ma” I smile my heart softening as her face splits in a wide smile.
“Brilliant” she says with a clap, “come have a look Nova. I think you’ll like what I’ve come up with, I’ve spoken to the ladies and they all seem to agree. They’ve been most helpful!”
“Great, show me I’m excited to see” Nova says flashing her white teeth at my mum as they take a seat.
Sitting there i watch as my mum and Luna chat enthusiastically about the Luna ceremony, their excitement evident from their expressions. After a few moments of them chatting Zeus puts an idea forward for me and I sit upright as I ponder it over. Coming to a decision I lean forward with a slow smile on my face and look between the two women.
“I know that face” Ma says as she catches me watching. “What are you planning?”
“Well it would be more appropriate if we say what are you planning” I chuckle. “Life has been crazy recently and I would have liked the Luna Ceremony to take place already, she’s been my Luna for a while now in my mind. How would you feel about organising it for this weekend?”
“This weekend?” Nova gasps in shock as my mum beams at my words.
“Yes..in 3 days” I specify.
“Is that even possible?” Nova asks
“Oh goddess yes, I can get it done” my mum replies confidently. “In fact I can start right away, Flo isn’t back to full duties she will be the perfect help and Naomi and Alice are always eager if I mention the word ceremony.”
Nova stares between the two of us for a moment before she chuckles as a blush tinges her cheeks, “if you think you can do it..then let’s do it. I can’t wait to be the Luna.”
“Perfect” I smirk.
“I’ll make those adaptations you mentioned Nova and speak to Alice about the dress. The idea of naming a Beta and Gamma for Nova was brilliant Jax, I’m proud of you. It’s very fitting for Nova” my mum says patting my hand reassuringly.
Hearing footsteps approach I meet Novas eyes and stand abruptly walking over to the window in their living area as the door swings open.
“Hello everybody” my dad’s deep voice says as it resonates around the room.
“Hi dear..” my mum says standing and giving his a quick kiss.
“Hello David..” Nova says politely with an unreadable expression.
“Jax..” he says turning his piercing gaze to me.
Not saying anything I simply study him as he begins to falter in his confident gaze. “Everything ok?” He asks looking at me with furrowed brows.
“You tell me” I shrug not giving anything away as my mum steps back in shock.
“Jax hunny?” She asks questioningly.
“This isn’t about you ma, I’m sorry I didn’t want to spoil your excitement” I say gently softening my eyes as I look to her as she nods in understanding before stepping to the side closer to Nova.
“What’s this about son? Spit it out” my father says turning to pour himself a glass of whiskey.
