Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“No” she answers shaking her head, “there is a ritual we can do but it’s risky and it could leave me with very little energy if it is successful. He was willing to try but I thought until the threat is over I can wait a little longer, I’m a good fighter in human form. But he did break the barrier slightly so l have been able to speak to her a little, but she still feels far away to an extent.”
“That’s exciting though” I exclaim smiling at her progress as I squeeze her shoulder, happiness radiating from her. ” What is she called?”*
“Anaya” she whispers softly with a proud smile on her face.
“A gorgeous name” I wink. “How have you settled?”
“I love it there” she grins, “everybody was so happy for Luca and I’ve gotten myself involved in training and helping with some Beta responsibilities. Everyone knows I’m your sister.I think it helped.”
“Probably” I smile, “but I’m sure you’re showing exactly why you’re mated to Luca.”
“She’s doing brilliantly” Luca praises her as Axton walks up behind them and agrees making Sophie blush slightly
“So your pack knows about me now huh?” I ask Axton nervously
“Yeah, the warriors are excited to see you I’ve just asked them to hang back a little for now” he says with a small smile, “I’m not going to lie l’ve dealt with a lot of pissed off pack members. They know the whole Rose situation wasn’t my fault but they’re still upset with you leaving. The only thing that has softened them in regards to you going is the fact you’ve found your true mate, you saw how happy they were for you.”
“They’ll get over it” I assure him. “They were quite protective of me.”
“Sign of being a good Luna” Jax comments as he slings an arm round my shoulder. “It’s why our pack responded how they have done.”
“Have you told them about Mila?” I ask Axton after kissing Jaxs cheek from his compliment.
“No” Axton says shaking his head. “We agreed until everything has been cleared with Alpha Bruno it was best to wait. I want Mila to be excited not thinking about the situation that is looming over her.”
“That’s a good idea, she’s just finishing up in the nursery and will be here soon by the way” I say with a smile. “We are going to have a meeting for all Alphas and officials that have travelled from different packs as we have gained more information this morning. Can you meet us at 5pm this evening in the conference room? I’ll come and see the warriors before then “
“Of course” Luca replies in Beta mode.
“We’ll leave you to get sorted, Gamma Theo is on his way over with training rotas so everyone has a share of the facilities. There is also information on times for food and where you can find any extra necessities such as bedding etc. Omega Brea is handling it all so ask for her if you can’t find one of us” Jax informs them as he shakes both their hands.
“See you later” I say softly before we turn and head back inside. “Who will be arriving next?”
“Alpha Conor, Alpha Edward and Alpha Marcus will all be coming in the next hour” Jax says. “All accommodation is ready so we just need to greet the packs on arrival.
Heading upstairs to go over more planning for the attack I hope and pray to the moon Goddess that we will be enough against the enemy.
“Do you think I should bait them?” I ask Jax suddenly.
“What??” He exclaims looking at me horrified by my idea.
“I know I know” I sigh, “I just hate how many people are here that could be harmed all because they’re after me.”
“They’re here because they want to be Nova, no one has made them” he points out. “Why would you even such a thing?”
“Because the guilt we feel is so much more intense than normal” Kia pipes up to us both, “it’s crippling and I’m the one that’s absorbing most of it to help Nova. But you have to realise in a way this completely goes against our inner morals. We are here to protect others, we are a Guardian Wolf. Yet instead we are putting everyone at risk.”
“I know” Jax whispers sadly as he staggers slightly as feeling our conflicted emotions leak through the bond. “But everybody needs help at times, and right now this is one of the biggest threats wolves have had since the vampires Alex struggled with. It’s a time to come together Nova, for the greater good.”
“For the greater good” I echo quietly as I try to focus on what we need to achieve.
“I need to lure out my grandfather and my mother” I state as we take a seat in the office. Laurence hearing what I said looks at me for a moment before speaking up.
“I think you’re right” he admits as Jax lets out a low growl showing his disapproval.
“Let him speak Jax” I reprimand him before my gaze softens, “I know you’re worried but we need to consider options.”
“I don’t like you being in danger” he admits.
“I know” I assure him as I reach for his hand across the table. “But we need to go over this”
“Do you have any ideas Laurence?” I ask turning my attention to the Beta.
“I do” he says slowly. “T imagine they will be at the rear of the attack, with the rogue numbers they have I believe they will try to over power us that way and weaken us. I think we need to try and find a way to get behind their attack.”
“So we could attack from both ends” I say slowly.
“Yes, obviously we can’t have as many that way but I think it will be something they won’t expect. Your grandfather although he’s a hunter is only human, if you can get close to him he won’t stand a chance” he points out.
“So I need the witches with me to cover the witch he has using dark magic, but not my father” I mumble voicing my thoughts.
“Why?” Laurence asks puzzled.
“In case I have to contain my mother” I say quietly. “I can’t kill he.l’d lose my dad that way, but I won’t risk him being there as I doubt he’d be able to fight aaa? normally with his mate in front of him. She needs to be contained somehow and we have to ensure no one kills her.”
“What about a sedative?” Jax suggests slowly.
Looking at him with interest we lean forward discussing ideas passing the time before the other packs arrive.
Jax POV:
Checking my watch I see it’s almost 4pm which means Kingsley will be arriving any minute with his pack members. A wash of anxiousness flows over me and it takes me a second to understand it’s Novas as well as mine that I’m feeling as her barriers falter. We had spent the majority of the day welcoming the packs and getting them all situated and filled in on what we have organised for them all. In just over an hour we have the meetings with the leaders of the visiting packs to go over everything that we know and to listen to any suggestions they may have.
“Today has been busy” Zeus comments to me as we wait for our Luna to join us from where she has been occupied helping the other Alphas organise their warriors in the dorms.
