Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“I do” she giggles back. “So hurry back tonight.”
Growling at her my eyes flash as I reply, “I’ll be there.” Kissing me again quickly before stepping back she winks at me before turning to the packhouse and leaving.
“Bye” she calls to everyone else as they all wave to her.
“She has you by the balls” Alex comments as we walk over to where I see Laurence waiting with Alpha Marcus.
“We’re equals.. well most of the time. For what extra power she has I make it up elsewhere” I smirk.
“You think you do” he laughs. “I like to think I’m in charge as well but everyone knows my mate has me wrapped round her finger.”
“She really does” I laugh.
“Nova knows you’re Alpha and respects that while you respect her power and rightful place as a Guardian Wolf, I think that’s something to be proud of. You balance one another out” he smiles before looking at the others. “Right let’s have a walk round, I’m knackered” he says biting back* a yawn. “Cant have that for tomorrow.”
“Let’s go” I say to the gathered men before we set off.
Nova POV:
At breakfast the next morning the atmosphere is slightly more tense as everybody is aware of what will be happening later. Eating quietly I make sure my wall is up solidly in my mind so I don’t become overwhelmed before anything happens. Last night with Corina I successfully managed to make two warriors from visiting packs experience a heightened sense of joy followed by frustration and it had made me feel more confident as l went up to meet my mate last night.
Jax had commented on it, with a look of absolute satisfaction on his face he seemed to be more than happy to reap the benefits before we slept heavily. The memory alone makes me break into a smile as I catch Jaxs knowing eyes.
“Is somebody reminiscing?” He links me teasingly.
“Shush” I reply blushing as he bites back a grin.
After a moment he stands up and claps to gain everybodies attention.
“Morning all!” He shouts, “as you know today is the day. I just wanted to let you all know we” he says gesturing to the table full of alphas and official, “are incredibly proud of each and every one of you for how hard you have worked the last few days, and we have absolute confidence that you will all make your packs proud today. If you need anything, have any questions, concerns or ideas then don’t hesitate to approach us. Once again, thank you for coming to fight our cause. Your actions won’t go unnoticed and my Luna and myself will never forget.”
With that he sits down as the room fills with cheers and the other Alphas follow suit also saying their own words to inspire the warriors. As Alex goes to stand I stiffen, as does Jax beside me, when a faint yet familiar scent hits our noses.
Standing abruptly he grasps my hand and motions to Laurence and our Gammas to follow, “Alpha Axton please keep Mila and my ma occupied for now until we ask for them. We have an unexpected guest” he growls lowly to Axton opposite us who nods at his request.
Storming out the room I see the questioning look from Mila,
“just a little issue, I’ll come to you soon sit tight and listen to Axton please” I link her.
“I will” she promises as she sees my eyes go to Amelia briefly. “She will stay with me, I’ll make sure of it.”
“Thank you Mila” I link her gratefully.
Throwing the pack house doors open we see a gathered patrol team stood holding 10 people tightly to prevent them from moving near the tree line.
The person in the front lifts their eyes before Jax halts in front of him. “Dad” he growls loudly.
“Son.” he whispers his voice hoarse and broken.
“What are you doing here?” Jax snarls.
“We caught them on the western border, they weren’t hiding they were just walking through. They came willingly” one of the patrol men says uncomfortably holding his previous Alpha.
Jax nods in acknowledgement of his words never taking his eyes off of his father.
Lowering my barrier slightly I read the emotions of those before me before focusing on Davids in particular.
“Nerves, humiliation, concern, love, hope and regret” I link Jax telling him what I sense in David as his jaw twitches at what I said.
“No deception or maliciousness? Anything like that?” He asks me slowly.
“No” I reply out loud shaking my head.
“I’ll ask again dad, what are you doing here?” He growls Zeus prominent in his eyes.
“I’m sure you found my bugs.” he says with shame.
“We did, I can’t believe you would turn to the hunters though” Jax snarls.
“Turn to the hunters?!” David exclaims. “I would never!”
“No?” Jax asks in disbelief. “So why didn’t listen to us? Why did you leave Uncle Henry’s care and injure those guards?”
“I listened because I wanted to do my bit, but I left because the moons goddess visited me” he mumbles. “I needed to get help to you and that was the only way.”
“Help?” I ask in confusion.
“The people I’m with are all witches” David says looking at the others behind him.
“What?” I gasp. “Why can’t we sense them?”
“To make it easier for travelling we concealed it” an elderly lady said from behind David.
“Dad I think you need to explain..now” Jax growls as he looks at his father in confusion.
