Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“Good morning” I chime trying to sound friendly and relaxed, despite my rising anger. Introducing myself to them, the lady smiles slightly as I drop down in front of her pups.
“And who do we have here?” I ask softly.
Seeing them glance at their mum, she speaks up, “I’m Mathilda, and these are my pups Jonas and Evie.”
Sending them a reassuring smile, I reach out and bop their noses slightly. “Well you two are absolutely adorable” I wink as Evie giggles quietly. “Are you excited for nursery today?”
With that question, their smiles falter slightly before Jonas steels his face and clears his throat, “we are Luna. I’m going to see my friend Tobias.”
“Oh that sounds wonderful, well I hope you both have a great day and you enjoy seeing Tobias. Friends are amazing aren’t they. Be good for your mum” I giggle as they smile sheepishly up at her.
Standing slowly so as to not scare them, I smile warmly at the mother who suddenly has tears in her eyes. “Are you alright?’ I ask quietly.
Her smile falters slightly before she nods and replies, “yes, I’m still getting used to leaving my pups. Mother jitters and all.”
Chucking at her, her shoulders relax slightly as she once again glances at the men with me.
“Don’t react” I link her quietly as she bends down to kiss her children, pausing slightly at my mind link, she so???n continues with her goodbyes. “Are you safe here?”
“For now..yes” she replies nervously as she avoids looking at me.
“Are the pups?” I ask next.
“Yes, they wil be fine” she replies, her answer more confident this time as the pups hang up their bags.
“Not everybody is here are they?” I ask her.
“I cant say” she replies, her voice wobbly through the link. “I physically cant say.”
“You’re under an Alpha command” I note as her mouth thins slightly.
“Well its been lovely seeing you all, you pups enjoy today” I say out loud in a soft reassuring voice.
“And you Luna, safe travels” Mathilda replies quietly.
“If you need help.I’m from the Midnight Sky Pack, you can contact me at any time” I link her as I smile and with a small wave walk back outside.
Breathing in the fresh air as I step out, my face immediately darkens now I’m no longer in the company of other pack members. “Is there anywhere else you’d like to go Luna?” Donald reluctantly asks.
“I think I’ve seen enough” I reply coldly as I storm over to my anxiously waiting mate
I take Jaxs outstretched hand and welcome his warmth as he holds me close, aware of the fact he cam feel my sadness and anger I’m experiencing because of our bond.
“What did you find?” Alex links me as we stand in silence.
“Lack of pack members is evident, I met some omegas who were quiet yet polite. They seemed nervous around me as did the lady from the kitchen, she was reluctant to speak and commented that its always busy in the kitchen, but all evidence points to the contrary. I also went to the pack nursery, there were quite a few pups there but they weren’t happy…no laughter” i tell him quietly.
“Ok” he growls as he turns to speak to Elder Martin, gesturing for them to walk away to converse quietly.
Looking round Jax, I see Wilson watching them with concern etched across his face while Axton stands looking lost in thought. After a few moments, Alex and Martin return, both of their faces looking grave as they walk up to Beta Wilson.
“As you know, we are holding an emergency Alpha meeting tomorrow, are you able to reach Alpha Bruno?” Martin asks calmly.
“He will contact me if necessary” Wilson says in a low growl.
“So that’s a no” Jax snaps at him.
“No..I cannot reach him” Wilson says as his angry glare turns to Jax.
“Well then I expect you to be there instead” Alex says, interrupting the two mens stare off. “It is a meeting that concerns all packs and therefore I am requesting you be the representative.”
“I can’t leave the pack” Wilson says, his voice sounding concerned.
“In this case, I can assure you that you can” Alex snaps, not happy with Wilson’s resistance. “It’s a direct order from your Alpha King and Council, Beta, so I suggest you be there.”
Blowing out a long breath, Wilson grinds his teeth together as he mulls over his response. “Fine” he huffs, “I will be there.”
“Good, on that note we will take our leave. Thank you for having us today” Alex says politely as he begins to walk back towards our vehicles. “Oh and Wilson…if your Alpha does contact you, I have a message for him. Tell him, his lies will catch up with him eventually…not all dreams are worth it, after all the higher you climb, the harder you can fall.”
Jax POV:
“We will stop in about 25 minutes, as soon as we are at the nearby town. Lets reconvene there before we go our separate ways. I have a vehicle of 5 warriors coming to meet Alpha Axton so he is not travelling back by himself” Alex tells us all.
“I can look after myself” Axton growls as he paces beside us.
“I know” Alex says calmly. “But I wouldn’t be doing my job as Alpha King if I didn’t consider the risks, after everything that has happened I think travelling with others is a good idea.”
“You’re right” Axton sighs as he pauses his pacing and runs a hand though his short hair. “Thank you.”
With a nod, Alex stands up and with a firm rap of his knuckles on our car bonnet, he turns while saying “follow us, stay close.”
Jumping in the vehicle, I’m once again hit by a strong wave of Novas sadness as she stares back at the eerily quiet pack grounds. “Come here love” I whisper holding my arms out as we take our seats. “That was tough huh?”
“Yes” she says with a shaky breath. “But those pups, .oh Jax it was heartbreaking” she cries as she finally succumbs to tears.
