Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“We can shift” Ki tells both Laurence and myself quietly as we both look at each other in surprise.
“We can?” I ask her in confusion.
“Yes” she chuckles. “Have you seen the size of me? Any pups of ours will be safest in my form, the transition will not harm any pup we carry I assure you of that. It may tire us but we can deal with it. We are strong Nova.”
“Has hiding our true scent been tiring?” I ask her quietly.
“A little” she admits. “But nothing I can’t deal with, it was more the weight of hiding it from you, I just didn’t want to drop the news because I wasn’t sure of how the past few days would go. So I stayed quiet.”
“You need to tell Jax” Laurence says after a moment of silence.
“Of course,” I reply immediately. ” I also need an appointment with the doctor.”
“You do” he smiles. “I can arrange one for you if you would like?”
“Please Laurence, quietly” I remind him as the wide smile stays plastered on his face.
“I have an idea.” he says with an excitement in his voice, ” one that may bring some happiness to our pack.”
“Go on…” I say slightly dubiously.
“Tell them tonight, after the burning. Surprise them all, Jax included” he says with a little smile. “This news it exactly what this pack needs after a time of mourning. It brings hope and a the sign of the promising future with the packs heir being created.”
“Will Jax appreciate the surprise?” I ask him with worry.
“I believe so, would you like me to arrange a doctors appointment now?” He asks.
“No,” I reply quickly. “I mean, I think it’s something Jax would like to be there for. But I will do a test. that we can then show to everyone tonight. But I would like an appointment tomorrow before we leave, I have some questions. One being I have no idea how far along I am, clearly early but. I need to know more.”
Looking down, I caress my toned stomach as the knowledge of new life growing inside me makes a smile spread slowly across my face.
“That’s more like it” Laurence beams as he stands up. “Ok, I will go and finish talking to Jax, I need to hear more of Mila and what we are going to go.”
“Keep that big ass smile off of your face” I warn him as I stand up, still shaking slightly from the news.
Holding his arms wide, I step forward as he gives me a large hug. “Congratulations Luna, I vow to protect you and our heir with my life.”
“Just be there for us all Laurence, like you always are” I whisper as a happy tear rolls down my face.
Jax POV:
Walking back from finishing the personal visits to the families that lost loved ones, the mood is somber as the feeling of grief lingers in my heart. Ma walks beside me, silent in her feelings also, but with her head held high as the sense of comfort is emitted from her presence.
“How are you doing ma?” I ask her as I gesture for her to take a seat by the entrance of the garden.
Offering me a sad smile, I see a glimpse of her worry she feels for her lost pup, the sadness she holds for our pack members and the concern she has for me.
“I’m ok Jax” she sighs. “I feel a bit useless, I want to find Mila…I want her home, where she’s safe and loved. The thought of her suffering because of Bruno is eating at me.”
“Have you spoken to Pa?” I ask her as she nods her head slowly.
“I did” she whispers. “He was furious. Not with me, obviously. But with Bruno..he threatened to go to find him, to bring Mila home.”
“Please tell me Henry stopped him” I say with worry.
“Oh yes, he did. I told him you were handling it and I was particularly strong in my words when I told him to let you continue to head this, it’s you I trust to get her back Jax. I know he loves her, of course he does, but I don’t believe he would handle this in the correct manner” she tells me, her voice strained as she speaks about her ex mate. “I do have to admit something though.”
“What?” I ask her, my voice sharper than I intended as she grimaces slightly making me feel guilty. “Sorry ma, what is it?” I ask again, my voice softer this time.
“They are returning to the pack, him and your uncle Henry” she says quietly. “Axel and Evan have been attempting to track Bruno’s vehicles that he used, they have looked over every bit of CCTV they could between Bruno’s pack and Axtons.”
“Was there anything?” I ask hopefully.
“No” she whispers. “Whoever Bruno has working for him knows just as much as Axel and Evan unfortunately. They found absolutely nothing.”
“Damn” I whisper. “I understand why Pa wants to come back, as long as you’re comfortable with it then I am also. I know Henry will do everything he can to help.”
“David will stay here while you are gone, Laurence informed me of the Alpha meeting you have to go to tomorrow. He has assured me he will be here to help and if David so much as puts one toe out of line I believe he threatened to put him in the dungeon” ma chuckles.
“Why didn’t Laurence say anything to me? I spoke to him earlier once Nova went for a nap about everything that’s happened, in detail, but this is failed to mention” I ponder.
“Because I asked to inform you myself, it was my idea” she admits. “I knew I should have checked with you but I just suggested it when speaking to Henry and David.”
“Ah,” I say quietly. “I understand.”
“You’re not upset?” Ma asks surprised.
“No” I shrug. “To be quite honest, I haven’t thought of Pa much since he left. We have a lot to do to work on our relationship and right now he’s not a priority, but he is our father and your ex mate of many years. It’s your daughter that is missing and the both of you can share in your concern for her. I know if Laurence was worried he would have told me, he doesn’t always agree to personal requests to keep things from me does he. I mean can you remember the time Mila had to get him to pick her up because of how drunk she was? She begged him not to say anything to me but he knew that her getting in that state was not safe for her and was concerned, so he told me. He’s a good judge of situations and of what my reaction will be.”
“Very true” ma chuckles quietly. “My daughter does love a drink.”
“I wonder why” I say rolling my eyes at ma as she chuckles once more. “Like mother like daughter after all.”
“Have you got any closer to finding her?” Ma asks, her eyes hopeful as she glances at me.
