Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“Ready?” I ask Ki.
“More than ever” she replies back. Seeing Jax close by he smirks before speaking.
“Oh I’m not missing this for the world” he says with a chuckle.
Shaking my head as I giggle I shift into Kia before bounding rather leisurely to the forest line where she howls loudly to the sky, signalling the start of her hunt.
“Let’s get him” she snarls as she bounds forward, barreling through the bushes and leaping over a fallen tree. Darting around the trees in her path she quickly spots the white hair of my grandfather as he stumbles on, his hair now streaked with mud and matted whilst his clothes are torn and covered in his blood. Snarling loudly at him he spins and falls back in horror as she leaps forward and traps him underneath her large form. Leaning down she opens her mouth wide revealing her large teeth as he screams terrified. Standing back up she shifts back as I grin at his terror.
“Oh that’s nothing yet” I say quietly watching his chest heave as he gasps for breath. Reaching for his emotions I can sense his terror overpowering anything else. Making that even greater I watch as his chest begins to heave and he grasps at his neck frantically: the terror causing him to struggle breathing as he can’t get enough air into his lungs.
Seeing his eyes begin to roll back and turn bloodshot I stop and his body sags from the relief.
As he looks back up at me I send the entirety of my pain that I felt when I saw my father torn apart in front of me, towards him. Following that I send the hurt I feel at the fact I’ve lost both my adoptive parents because of him and grew up without both my biological parents. I add in the heartbreak I feel at all the loss of pack members lives I felt throughout the fight.
As he’s hit by each I see his body convulse as he pulls at his head, tears streaming down his face from the pain that’s crippling his body.
“This is everything I felt, everything you caused me to feel” I whisper as his eyes flit to mine. “You don’t deserve to live for what you’ve done.”
“You took Caroline from me” he cries.
“And you took so much more from me” I snarl stepping towards me unforgiving as he recoils harshly.
Reigning in the emotions I see him breath a sigh of relief, which is short lived as I grasp his arm and tear is from his body,
Screaming in pain he quickly tries to cover the stump that is now what’s left of his arm while blood spurts from it. But before he can do so I grasp his other arm and rip it clean off of him.
“You’re going to die, just like my father had to” 1 say to him, my voice cold and emotionless as I lunge and repeat the motion with both his legs. As he loses blood quickly I see the life fading from him all too soon.
“I wanted it to be long and painful, but you don’t deserve another second on this earth” I whisper before fatally slicing his neck with my claws watching as his head rolls away. His eyes wide, reflecting his final seconds of pain and terror that I caused him.
Stepping back I feel my body collapse, my energy drained, before I’m caught in Jaxs strong hold.
“It’s over Nova it’s over” he whispers cradling me as I sob into his chest.
Jax POV:
Walking back slowly, cradling my sleeping Luna, I look at her peaceful face and look at her in awe. The way she handled herself in battle was nothing short of incredible, the way she navigated her grief before using it to her advantage was admirable and everyone looked at her with pride. “My Goddess” I whisper as I kiss her forehead softly.
As I look up I see Laurence waiting for us by the tree line with some clothes and a blanket.
“I had a feeling she would be exhausted” he explains as he drapes the blanket over her and I hand her to him before slipping some clothes on as quickly as possible and gathering her back in my arms.
“What’s the report?” I ask him quietly.
“Alpha Brad lost 23 warriors, Alpha Edward lost 19, Alpha King lost none, Alpha Marcus lost 32 and Alpha Henry lost 9” Laurence begins reporting.
“And us?” I ask.
“9” he replies sadly. “I’ve already discussed arranging warrior send offs and honours.”
“Thank you Laurence” I say for a moment before spinning to him in disbelief. “s**t! We forgot about Conor and his It’s men.”
“Ah” Laurence says looking a bit sheepish. “1 may have ran a bit of interference. I sent Mathew with them so we still had a pack link incase you or Nova were busy, when Kingsley left the fight around the other side, I knew Theo would be following shortly so I linked Mathew and requested their help. It’s because of them that all warriors were able to get to the eastern side of the packhouse” he explains. “He only lost 4 warriors.”
“Thank goddess for your plan B ideas Laurence” I say in relief for my Betas quick thinking
“I thought you had enough to think about” he says quietly.
“It doesn’t matter what you thought, what you decided was brilliant and the correct thing to do. I trust your instincts, hence why you’re my Beta” I point out as he smiles proudly at my words.
“My family.?” I ask hesitantly.
“Your ma and Mila are fine, they were at the back line of defenses so didn’t see too much action but they held their own all the same. Axel and Evan were under alpha Henry’s command as they had helped train his warriors, both are uninjured and are currently assisting with the injured, Henry is very impressed with their performance” Laurence replies happily.
“My Pa?” I probe.
“In the pack hospital, suffered a particularly bad bite to the shoulder and nearly had his arm ripped off, his wold is healing him but slowly. He said he’s punishing him for his previous actions” he replies expressionlessly. “But apart from that he will make a full recovery.”
Seeing Sophie in the distance with Luca holding her tightly
I excuse myself and walk up to them slowly.
“Sophie.” I say quietly. “I’m so sorry for your loss, your father was a great man and he will be remembered as such.”
“He was” she whispers as tears stream down her face. “But I knew what was going to happen.”
“You did?!” I exclaim.
“Esmerelda may be vague in what she says, but I’m quite good at reading between the lines. I didn’t know for certain but in a way I did. If that even makes sense” she mumbles.
“I’m still sorry Sophie, I know Nova wanted to speak to you but she’s absolutely exhausted” I say looking down at her still sleeping form.
“I understand” she whispers, “just please let me know when she wakes. I could do with a sisterly hug.”
