Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“Mila” I hear Bruno say, his voice quiet but sharp as my eyes fly open to meet his. “When you get here, stay close to me. You do as I say, and you don’t ask questions…am I clear?”
When I say nothing., his eyes narrow as he slams his hand down in a fist on the seat beside him making me flinch.” Am I clear?” he repeats with a growl, his eyes showing flecks of amber shopping his wolf, Preston, is present.
“Crystal” I mutter, not wanting to risk angering him further.
Seeing his body relax lightly, he forces a smile.
“That’s good Mila, if you do as I say then you will have nothing to worry about” he tells me.
“But I do” I snap.
Smirking slightly he shrugs, his nonchalance angering me.
“Why are you so relaxed about this? Why break the bond only to force me to come with you? Why defy the council…for me?” I fire off questions, hoping to catch him off guard and to get some answers.
Instead, I met by his lips curving into a large smile, “for you?
” he repeats with a chuckle. “This isn’t for you, you’re just a nice bonus.”
“A nice bonus?” I ask in disbelief once again.
“Yes” he grins. “I still remember everything about you Mila, your sweet taste, the way you murmured my name, screamed my name even.”
“STOP” I shout as my face fills with horror. “Please tell me that’s not the case Bruno. You don’t get me like that Bruno.
Do you think I’m going to forget everything you put me through? Everything you said to me in the past isn’t forgotten, what you did up until this morning isn’t forgotten.???
With that his smug smile doesn’t even falter, you’re here now Mila, things can change.”
“I’m here now because I’m just part of a plan, a pawn in your game…of that I’m certain” I mutter.
“Ever so observant Mila” he grin, his eyes glinting with mischief, while he doesn’t deny anything of what I said.” Don’t fight it Mila, if you do then everyone will only suffer more…
Jax POV:
Driving up to the front of the church, our attention is immediately drawn to Mila’s BMW that has been parked under the oak tree near the front. “Mila’s car…shit!” Axton exclaims before flinging the door open and jumping out before Nova stops our vehicle.
Copying him, I leap after him and by the time he reaches Mila’s car I’m close enough behind to catch the door as he pulls it open with force. Inhaling deeply, I catch the lingering scent of Bruno along with my sister’s familiar scent. “Bruno was here, I can smell him” I snarl to Axton as my face contorts in fury.
“Jax search the other side” Alex orders me as he holds his phone up to his ear when he reaches us, “Nova have a look round the car park please” he adds on before stalking away to use his phone. Running to the other side, I slide into the passenger seat while Axton rifles though the drivers side. “nothing here of note” he tells me in frustration as he then moves round to look in the boot.
Seeing the glove box, I immediately open it and my eyes fall on two phones along with some paper, all tucked under the drivers log book. Picking them up, I swiftly rise from the car seat and hold one out the Axton over the roof, “is this yours?” I check knowing the others to be my sisters.
“That’s mine” he confirms as he reaches to take it from my hand. “She wanted us to be able to find her didnt she” he states as he opens the phone up for us to see it logged in to the camera of his pack still.
“Did she know it could be traced?” I ask him.
“Yes, we spoke about how clever Axel is and I mentioned hers being done so I would stay sane, kind of as a joke but also serious. She laughed me off and said something about not wanting her brothers to know where she was all the time, then I told her Luca and I both had it on ours and she said she would think about it” he explains.
“Look through them” I tell him quietly as I also hand him Milas phone. Seeing movement out the corner of my eye, I look up to see Alex and Nova in quiet conversation as they both continue searching the rest of the car park. Looking back down, I shuffle through the papers in my hand. The first is the copy of the invoice used by Mila to leave the territory.
“That gate guard is going to be spoken to” I snarl angrily when I note the date of the invoice was more than two weeks prior.
“The guard wont have doubted your sister” Axton says absentmindedly as he scrolls through his phone.
“He still should have done his job properly” I quickly retort as I move to the next piece of paper.
“I’m not sticking up for him, he let my f*****g mate go” Axton is fast to snap back as he puts his phone in his back pocket. “Nothing on mine” he tells me before opening Mila’s. As I look at the last two pieces of paper which are folded over, I notice one is addressed to Axton and the other to myself.
“Mila wot have gone withut a plan” I hear Zeus pipe up from wheres he’s been watching intently in my mind. “Our sister is clever and she knows Bruno better than any of us, she wont have gone in there not thinking of something I’m sure.”
“I hope youre right” I mutter to him. My thoughts are soon interrupted by Axton’s angry outburst.
“f*****g BRUNO’ Axton yells as he slams his fist down on the car roof. “When i get my hands on that fucker, he’s going to regret everything he’s done today and in the past” he snarls as his body begins to shake with Rex’s need to shift.
“Show me” I say to him calmly, aware that my simmering rage will do no good in this situation. Holding my hand out for the phone that he is still grasping tightly in his hand, I walk round to his side.
“The top messages” he spits out as he slams the phone onto my palm. Opening it up, I look through the short conversation with the unknown number. As I read the messages I can’t stop the growls escaping me as my anger grows once more.
“Jax? Love, are you ok?” I hear Novas soft, concerned voice ask me as she nears.
“She made a deal with him” I say through gritted teeth, “her for the pack..”
“f**k, I thought as much” Alex swears grimly.
“She gave herself up Alex” I snap, angered by his lack of frustration.
“Unfortunately, it’s what many Lunas would do” he says quietly. “Especially new ones…she will have felt a duty to protect them, whether she has had her ceremony or been marked, she is the destined mate of the Alpha of the White Mountain Pack, as a result she wants to protect them. I was hoping my assumptions would be wrong, but I knew it was unlikely.”
“Well you werent wrong” I snap at him.
“Jax..” Nova warns me. “Reel it in, you have a right to be angry, but not with Alex.”
Snarling, I spin on my heels and look up only to be met with Axtons furious gaze, “hes got MY mate, YOUR sister!? We have to find them, and quickly!”
