Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“Do it” I say shortly before she moves her hands to cup the side of Novas head gently and mutters an incantation under her breath as her eyes turn milky.
“What will this do?” I ask Esmerelda.
“It’s called a containment spell, not a physical one but one for your mind. It will essentially dull everything so that Nova can function but still be aware of the emotions that others are feeling” she explains softly as she watches Novas body relax with something like care in her eyes.
“You care for Nova” I state as I too watch her relax in front of us.
“I do” she says almost surprised at her admittance.
“She means a great deal to a lot of people” I whisper as Esmerelda simply continues to watch in silence.
Seeing colour return to Novas cheeks i breath a sigh of relief as her eyes flutter open, brighter than before as Kingsley grasps her hands tightly checking her over in a fatherly fashion.
“I feel better” she assures us all while I move forward and help her to her feet. “What happened?”
“It became too much for you, ‘ve helped you control them for now. If it becomes too much come find me” Kara says with a reassuring smile.
“Thank you” Nova whispers. “Another thing for me to think about” she jokes trying to make light of the situation.
“Could I have a word Nova?” Esmerelda asks suddenly as we all turn to look at her. Motioning with her head behind her she turns for Nova to follow as I step alongside her. ” Alone Alpha” Esmerelda says causing me to growl lowly at her order.
“It’s fine Jax, I’ll be back soon for the meeting” Nova says gently as she reaches up and kisses my lips softly.
“Love you” I murmur.
“And I love you” she smiles before following after Esmerelda’s shrinking figure.
Nova POV
“So you wanted to speak to me?” I ask Esmerelda as we reach a small clearing.
“I did, yes” Esmerelda confirms as she takes a seat on a fallen tree and motions for me to join her. “So a gift you weren’t aware of.”
“Is it a gift?” l ask drly, thinking of the over whelming tension I felt in my head before.
“I think it is” she replies laughing lightly. “Perhaps you could use it to your benefit.”
“Are you hinting at something Esmerelda? If so perhaps speak freely just this once” I say trying to stay polite despite my inner frustration.
“I apologise” she says surprising me as my eyes flit to hers.
“I’m used to talking in tongue and keeping myself in check.
I have said too much before and it cost me dearly. I am, believe it or not, trying to help.”
“I know” I say quietly with a smile, “perhaps my patience is being tested a little after recent events.”
“Understandable dear” she chuckles. “Your gift, although seemingly hard to control I believe you could learn to isolate the emotions and make it easier”
“How long would that take me though?” l ask quietly
“I will speak to Corina, I don’t think you can master the skill but you can try and control it more than you can currently” she says positively. “Corina is a more patient person to aid you than I.”
“You impatient?” I laugh, “I can’t imagine that.”
“In some ways I am trust me” she says her wise eyes clouding over in memory, “but I believe Corina can help you.
“Is this necessary, or urgent?” I ask knowing if I ask what I’m truly thinking she would not answer.
Looking at me calmly she inclines her head slightly giving me my answer. “Then I will meet with Corina” I tell her.
“Thank you” she smiles. “Remember Luna, one must fall.in time it will make sense.”
“I hope so, but I don’t think I will like it when the time comes
“I murmur before I feel her aged hand grasp mine.
“Have faith in the Moon Goddess Nova and we will all have faith in you” she assures me.
“You are just like your dad you know” she comments as we begin walking back, “determined but quiet. You don’t let anyone but your mate know your inner feelings and even then you try to hide him from the worst.”
“Iknow” I chuckle. “Jax has been helpful though, I don’t think he’s realised just how much but I’ve never told people my emotions before Well perhaps I did Luca to an extent, but I found it easier to not deal with the outcome.”
“Well continue opening up” Esmerelda says gently as we reach the pack house
“Keeping things hidden and to yourself weighs on you more than you know.”
“Thank you for your advice Esmerelda” I say graciously as I see Jax waiting slightly impatiently at the bottom of the stairs. “If you’d excuse me, I best not hold up this meeting.”
“Of course dear” she says.
Bowing my head respectfully i quickly make my way over to Jax as I see him look at me questioningly. “She believes I could perhaps learn to isolate the emotions” I link him explaining.
“Why would she believe that would help?” He links me back as we walk to the conference room.
