Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“He has” I agree monotonously.
“Sorry man” he says squeezing my shoulder.
Shrugging I stand up, “what he’s done is done, I just hope we can find him and find out what the hell he’s up to. I suggest we all take some time as in 2 hours we need to reconvene outside the pack house to prepare for heading out.”
With muttered agreement everyone files out of the room leaving Laurence and myself.
“How are you holding up Alpha?” He asks taking a seat.
“I just need some answers” I admit with frustration.
“I have a good feeling about tonight” Laurence says looking at me.
“Goddess I hope you’re right” I groan.
“Why don’t we go spar? Work out some frustration and pass the time?” Laurence suggests as I stare blankly at the paperwork in front of me.
“That’s the best idea I’ve heard all day” I laugh standing up eagerly. “I hope you’re ready to get your ass handed to you.”
“I know, what have I got myself in for” he laughs, “Nova said you were stronger.”
“I am” I smirk.
“Ah fuck” he sighs dramatically. “Well it’ll help me too I suppose won’t it.”
“Positive..I like it” I praise my Beta who simply rolls his eyes at me. “Ah ah..Attitude” I smirk at him as he flips me off.
“I can get away with it” he smirks.
“Touch??” I laugh, “at least you know when and where.”
“Exactly” he exclaims with a cocky grin on his face, making me relieved my Beta and friend knows exactly how to react to my changing moods.
Nova POV:
“Thank you for this” Ophelia says quietly as I take a seat next to her.
“You have no need to thank me Luna, it’s the right thing to do” I say with a smile.
“What are you going to do?” She asks me.
“Kia says all we need to do is hold your hands and we can both get into a calmer state, concentrate on your breathing a bit like with meditation and Kia will do the rest” I say to her comfortingly. “It’s not going to hurt you.”
With those words I see her posture visibly relax as I ease some of her worry. “Johnathon has assured me Kia would not have suggested this if she wasn’t 100% certain. I never doubted her I just am wary when I don’t understand something completely, but I can’t understand everything can I” I chuckle slightly.
“Kia is brilliant, I have no doubt you can do this” Ophelia says with an encouraging smile. Holding her delicate hands out to mine I take them gently and we sit facing one another before closing our eyes and breathing calmly in time with each other. Feeling Kia push forward as she reaches to connect with Ophelia’s wolf I hear her gasp slightly in reaction and grasp my hands tighter. Rubbing soothing circles on her hands she relaxes once again as she gets used to the intrusion in her mind and allows Kia to reach her wolf. Feeling my strength flow through my body I control my breathing as it my body begins to hum with energy.
After a few moments Kia pulls back in my mind saying she is done so I open my eyes to see Ophelia gazing at me in wonder.
“She spoke to me, she doesn’t feel as far away now” she whispers. “I’ve missed her voice” she cries as sobs rack her body.
“Oh Luna” I breath as my eyes sting with unreleased tears, hugging her tightly I murmur in her ear, “please ensure you rest and don’t do anything stressful.”
“Being around pups will help” Kia links us both, “they will bring joy and your wolf will feel a natural instinct to interact with them. Another reason to live as such.”
“Thank you Kia” Ophelia sobs before Alex pulls her into his arms whispering soothing words in her ear.
“I’ll give you both sometime” I say before bowing and taking my leave.

“So did you know your dad can heal others?” Jax asks as he drops into the seat beside me whilst we wait for everyone else to ready themselves.
“What?” I ask sharply throwing him a confused look.
“He told us today, Andrew has no scar because he snuck in and healed him” he says with an impressed smile. ” I saw him at the training grounds just now and you can’t even tell he was attacked.”
“Why didn’t he tell me?” I ask quietly hurt.
With a sigh Jax looks at me, “we need to remember his life hasn’t been easy. In the last 25 years he has constantly had to look over his shoulder wondering if he would get caught, wondering if you were safe, his mate was safe, then he has Sophie to protect. He’s had a lot to be wary of, and healing is a pretty big gift to have. If the wrong person found that out then he would have even more people after him, not just hunters.”
“You’re right” I agree quietly, “I can understand that.”
“He only learnt of it after becoming the new Rogue King” Jax tells me.
“He said Drake grew in size quite recently as well” I muse with pursed lips.
“It confirms gifts come in times of need” Jax says, “he healed Sophie after an attack, that’s the first time he used the gift and clearly she is one of the most important people in his life.”
“I wonder what mine will be” I ponder.
“I’m sure we will find out in time” Jax says before standing up.
“Alright everyone, briefing time!” He shouts gaining their attention, “as you know it’s important that we are not detected during this mission. We are observing NOT attacking” he says looking around clearly at the others with us. “Axel, Evan and Kingsley you will take the east viewing point as agreed, Nova, Alex and myself will take the west, we also will have two pairs of warriors at north and south to confirm their entry routes via the road. Theo you know to join us after, you can wait 2 miles back and keep your phone on incase I can’t link you.”
