Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“How are you getting on Axel?” I ask as he nods his head in quiet greeting.
“Give me another hour and I’ll be done” he says without looking away from what he’s working on.
“So the meeting place?” I ask Laurence.
“An abandoned barn, I estimate it could hold up to a thousand people but it is derelict and run down. I believe it could even have been an old factory so perhaps barn isn’t the right word to use” he answers.
“Any sign of activity?” I ask.
“None” he says with a shake of his head. “It’s also surrounded by other working factories so attacking there would not be ideal.”
“We won’t be” I tell him immediately, “that’s why they will have arranged for it to be there. Plus surrounded by other humans it won’t look as suspicious. Instead we are going to scout the meeting, we will observe and the trail those we believe are important when they leave. That way we can hopefully learn more about where they are based or spend their time.”
“I agree that’s a good plan” Laurence says sitting back in his chair. “I ran into your ma downstairs and she apologised for David’s actions whilst you were away. I have to apologise also, I had no idea he had been asking those sorts of questions.”
“Of course you didn’t” I shrug, “he knew what he was doing and other pack members wouldn’t want to willingly defy the previous Alpha I assume.”
“But still, I apologise you have had to dealt with that” Laurence say seriously.
“I think Ma dealt with it to be honest” I say with a light laugh.
“Yes..she did tell me” Laurence smiles slightly. “I have Naomi helping her, I thought the company would be nice and I know they have a lot to do before Sunday.”
“Thank you Laurence” I say gratefully. “We have the Alpha King here.”
“What?” He asks his head twisting sharply to mine from where he was looking at the bookshelf.
“He turned up whilst you were gone, he and Luna Ophelia swore their loyalty to Nova and we have filled them in on everything that has taken place” I explain. “They will be staying until we have finished with the hunters.”
“Fucking hell” Laurence says with wide eyes. “Our Luna truly is something special isn’t she.”
“She is” I agree proudly. “She also just kicked his ass at sparring which quietened him down rather a lot.”
“Oh shit” Laurence says with a bark of laughter. “He wanted to see for himself huh?”
“Oh he definitely saw” I chuckled. “Tonight for the pack run I am going to explain to the pack who Nova is exactly.”
“I think it’s time” Laurence agrees. “I can sense her power and I know a few pack members have noticed it also. I think they believe it’s because she is the Luna but clearly it is more than that.”
“I’d like you to say a few words Laurence” I say leaning forward as his eyes widen.
“Ok?” He questions.
“You know about Guardian Wolves and I know you will speak highly of Nova. I think the pack needs to hear this from someone other than her mate, even if her mate is their Alpha. Alex will also be there and say a few words but I think your knowledge will speak for itself” I explain.
“I’d love to” he replies eagerly.
“Brilliant, I’m glad that’s sorted” I say relaxing. “So how are you and Naomi? I feel bad I haven’t had chance to check in more with your pups development.”
“Oh they’re growing quickly! Naomi is handling herself brilliantly and I’m ensuring she gets plenty of rest, same with Alice. Those women would work till they fell asleep on their feet if they could” he laughs. “Nova is coming to our next appointment, if you’d like to join us you are welcome. I’m not sure I could handle anyone else.”
“Oh?” I ask.
“I nearly took the doctors hand off when he put the gel on her for the scan, it’s my protectiveness coming out. It’s a lot harder to handle than I thought” he admits.
“I have heard how protective men can get, but Doctors will see that all the time” I assure him.
He sighs as he runs his hand through his hair, “to be honest I think it’s worse because of everything going on. I want Naomi and the twins to be safe, but my wolf and I are on edge a bit more.”
Guilt fills my body at his words, “I’m so sorry Laurence” I say quietly. “I didn’t mean for all of this to mar you and your mates experience.”
“Oh no it’s not your fault, or our Lunas” he says quickly, “it’s just making me slightly more protective than I believe I would be normally. And that’s to be expected. I think you being there could actually help, my wolf doesn’t see you as a threat and knows to be respectful. I think it could help the doctor get on with his work easier.”
“Then of course I will be there” I exclaim. “Axel you know to not utter a word that is said here yes?”
“Certainly” he replies, “to be honest I’m concentrating on my work. Not your guys drama” he adds on with a smirk thrown our way.
“Idiot” Laurence laughs appreciating my brothers teasing.
“Congratulations man” Axel says with a wide smile. “I haven’t had chance to say so far but it’s exciting news for the pack.”
“Very” Laurence beams.
“I’m ready to be an uncle whenever by the way Jax” Axel throws in there.
Turning to look at him in surprise he chuckles nervously, “what?”
“Well I’m surprised you want to be around pups that’s all” I say slightly ashamed at my assumptions.
“I’m not a kid anymore” he says rolling his eyes. “Evan and I also hope to find our mate and have pups you know.”
“Wow” I chuckle, “my brothers have grown up.”
“You’ve given me this responsibility but you’re surprised I mentioned pups?” He laughs in amusement pointing to his laptop.
