Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“Do you think your mum could kill you?” Laurence asks me.
“She didn’t look like my mother yesterday trust me. The look in her eyes, the lack of emotion and simply her reaction to seeing me..I think she could in this state yes” I say trying to hold back the surge of emotion I suddenly feel. “I don’t recognise her.”
“You wouldn’t though Nova” he says quietly, “you haven’t seen her since you were 2 weeks old.”
“Nova nor Kia felt the family bond with her Laurence” Jax says to him. “I think the witch has used dark magic to suppress the mate bond and prevent the family bond between Nova and her mother.”
“So we need to kill the witch” Laurence says quietly.
Hearing a knock at the door Laurence stands up to open it before Alex and Ophelia walk into the room quietly.
“Nova..” Ophelia breaths in relief before rushing over and giving me a gentle hug. “I don’t know if I need to thank you first or scald you for scaring us so much.”
“I’ll take the thanks” I laugh softly as she pulls away with eyes full of unshed tears.
“You are something else” she whispers with a small smile. “Thank you for keeping my mate safe.”
Feeling my cheeks blush I nod and offer her a smile unsure of how to react to being praised so much. Seeing Alex’s imposing figure by the bed I look up to see his eyes which are trained on me filled with concern.
“How are you feeling Nova?” He asks quietly.
“Better as time goes on” I assure him as he smiles slightly from my words.
“Yesterday was interesting” he comments as he pulls two seats over for his Luna and him to take.
“Wasn’t it just” I chuckle with a wry smile. “Seems to be a current theme at the moment.”
“Alex told me about the witch, and I have to say it sounds like the one I encountered when I was taken” Ophelia says her voice full of sadness.
“I’m sorry Luna” I say looking at her as she takes deep breaths to control herself. “We are going to get him.”
“But how?” She asks quietly.
“How..we don’t know yet. We need to kill him” Jax says. “But first we have to make sure that his curse on you is lifted.”
“Our pack witches are coming in the morning, they will be able to offer us some more advice” Alex says reassuringly to his Luna.
“Once we have spoken to them we need to plan our next move” Jax says his voice full of authority as I feel his anger towards the situation through the bond.
“We need to bring them to us” I say quietly.
“Yes and gather our allies, they want a war then they will get one” Alex says venomously.
“Wait..” Jax says looking around in a panic. “Oh fuck” he whispers. Turning to look at us his eyes wide he asks, “Charles wasn’t surprised we were at the meeting..he knew where we were going to be and when didn’t he?”
“He didn’t specifically say that but he knew we were there yes” I say slowly.
“So how did he get that information?” He asks me with a raised brow, “is there anyone you think could be a traitor?”
“No” I says furrowing my brows in thought. “No one seems suspicious to me here.” Hearing Laurence and Alex agree we sit back thoughtful.
“But..there was someone who was acting suspicious before wasn’t there?” Ophelia asks quietly.
“My dad” Jax says angrily. “Laurence go find Axel quickly” he orders.
“Why?” I whisper.
“Because one thing we do know is the hunters use electronics to their advantage, they’re good with technology and make no effort to hide it” Jax says barely containing his anger as his hands shake fighting a shift.
“So..” I whisper my eyes widening.
“I want the pack house and grounds swept for bugs that could have been planted” he snarls.
Nova POV:
Waking up to a new day I reach for Jaxs body only to feel his side of the bed cold like he hadn’t been there for a while. Wondering what time it is I roll over moaning as my stiff body stretches, seeing 8:30am on the clock I stifle a yawn and slowly sit up.
“Where are you?” I link Jax as I make my way to the bathroom.
“Morning love, in the office” he replies instantly, “I couldn’t sleep and you looked so peaceful i thought I’d come and get some work done.”
“Have you had breakfast?” I ask him.
“No not yet, just coffee” he says.
“Meet me at the landing of your floor, we can go eat together. Give me 10 minutes” I say not giving him room to budge.
“You sure you’re up for it?” He asks.
Rolling my eyes as I brush my teeth I reply, “yes. I slept most of yesterday away and then 10 hours last night. Now all I want is food.”
Hearing his laugh down the mindlink I smirk knowing he’s not going to argue with that. Throwing some training leggings, a sports bra and tank top on I find my trainers before quickly re doing my messy bun.
I wonder if they found any traces of listening devices I think to myself as I head downstairs. Reaching the landing I lean on the wall as I wait for Jax taking in my surroundings. Looking at a large photo of Jax and his family that is hung in the centre of the wall I feel my heart clench momentarily as I think of how David could possibly have betrayed them.
