Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“It may help if I explain my history” Kingsley begins. Making sure everyone in attendance nods in agreement he continues, “my fated mate was a human. It is rare but it does happen, unfortunately she was the daughter of hunter. She was aware of our species and she most definitely didn’t agree with her parents lifestyle or decisions. She left her parents at the age of 14 and was adopted by a family friend, she met me aged 21 and I was 25. We had some blissful years together and I introduced her to my pack where she settled into her role well and was loved by everyone. One day we were out running in the woods and we were attacked by a group of hunters, two of which were her parents” his eyes turned downcast at the memory.
“It was a horrible fight and her parents ended up threatening her with her life if she continued to defy them and everything they stood for. My mate stood by me that day and we managed to escape with a few others. Over the next year she continuously got horrible letters sent to her in the post at work with threats from her parents, she was harassed at her work day in day out as she continued a role in finance alongside her pack duties so she had to make the decision to stay on pack lands and work at the local hospital. Then one day she came home and she was torn, she was both over the moon and terrified, once speaking to her she told me she was pregnant with my pup. I of course was overjoyed but I understood that if her parents ever found out then none of us would be safe” he continued.
“So we disappeared, we relocated away from the risk of hunters and settled into a new location. We had our pup and she was the most magnificent creation to grace our lives. For a few short days everything was perfect, but after 2 weeks her parents found us. I ended up being separated from Lizzie and my pup and I told her to do anything she could to keep themselves safe. I led the hunters away from them, or at least I thought I had. Her father followed them both, he almost caught them the night before I lost them both. She rang me at the time and was beside herself, the only option she had was to give our pup up.”
“Athena Prince is my lost daughter, her mother sacrificed herself to protect her and I gave an oath I would find her and I will never give up” he ends with conviction.
I pause slightly at his words as the sense of familiarity grows stronger, seeing Jax dart a look at me I continue to stare at Kingsley.
“You’re not a Beta” I say once I’d realised the power excluding from him as he told us his truth.
He laughs lightly before looking at me again, “no..I’m not.”
“But you’re not an Alpha” I say slowly.
He continues to look at me without saying a word for a few moments.
“Nova yes? I think it could all be explained if you saw my wolf” he murmurs quietly.
As he steps back behind some bushes to strip Jax links me quickly, “Nova that power..”
“I’ve sensed that power on one person before..”Laurence links me at the same time whilst staring at me.
As we hear the bushes rustle I lift my head to look up from where I’d been studying the ground to make eye contact with a magnificent 10ft white wolf with rippling muscles and shiny fur. His bright blue eyes bore into mine as he walked to face me before sitting and bowing slightly.
Looking down I see the birthmark showing through his fur of a moon on his right front paw, I gasp looking up at him before grasping Jaxs hand in mine as I hear him make a quick intake of air as he makes the same realisation I do.
“Nova?” I hear Jax ask as he brings me into his side, “are you ok?” I can hear the concern in his voice but all I can do is stare at the magnificent wolf in front of me.
After a few more minutes of silence as we study one another the Wolf dips his head once again before padding back behind the bushes for Kingsley to shift.
“Nova that Wolf looks like Kia..” I hear Axton say quietly in amazement from my left, glancing at Luca I see him looking at me with understanding showing in his eyes, stepping forward he gives me a quick squeeze of my shoulder as he stands behind me in support.
As Kingsley walks out I look at him through watery eyes as he holds my gaze.
“Can someone please explain?” Alpha Brent asks looking around in confusion.
Kingsley stops in front of me as he holds his hand out to me his eyes asking silent permission, with a slight nod he pulls me into his arms burying his head in my neck scenting me as the sobs finally escape my throat making me body shake.
“My daughter..Athena” he whispers stepping back and looking at me with wonder.
Jax POV:
As we arrived back at the pack house and said farewell to Alpha Brent after promising to keep him updated, I ask everyone to gather in the lounge before I lead Nova to the office silently. As we walk through the door I turn to look at her and see her eyes tinged red from crying.
“Are you ok?” I ask gently.
Pausing for a moment she looks at me before nodding, “I’m just shocked” she murmurs.
“We all are” I agree bringing her into my chest.
“My father is alive” she breathed laughing softly, “never did I expect that I would meet him.”
“He’s a Guardian Wolf Nova, you’re not alone in this you have someone who understands and can support you” I whisper into her hair.
Stepping back I see her look up at me biting her lip, “it’s all a bit overwhelming” she whispers.
“I know love, but you’re not alone. We are all here for you, your dad will be coming for a private lunch tomorrow. We can get more answers then but I think for now you need to relax” I suggest quietly, “let’s go and speak to the others but I think an afternoon spent watching movies and eating ice cream is in order.”
“Yeah I’ll do that” she agrees.
“We will do that, goddess knows I deserve an afternoon off” I say making light of the situation squeezing her hand as we walk back downstairs, I drop a quick kiss on her forehead before we walk into the lounge to meet everyone’s stares.
“Nova are you ok?” Luca asks stepping forward and grasping her hands in his.
“I’m ok Luca truly” she assures him, “I am just shocked.”
He lets out a deep sigh of relief as Axton steps forward, “are you sure?” He checks knowing what this means.
“Yes Alpha Axton, thank you for your concern” she says graciously. Seeing his eyes narrow slightly at the title before clearing he nods and steps back.
“So you’ve met your long lost dead daddy” Rose sneers at Nova earning a soft warning growl from myself. Nova simply looks at her but doesn’t respond.
“What’s so special about this anyway?” Rose continues, “pups grow up without their parents all the time. It’s not that big of a deal” she scoffs.
“Luna if you do not start showing some respect to my sister there will be a problem, you may be the daughter of an Alpha but you do not act as such” Luca growls glaring at Rose before shooting Axton an angry scowl.
“What? I’m only asking Luca. Nova here appears to win over men’s affection very easily, I’m only wondering why” she says trying to get a raise from Nova whilst smirking at me looking me up and down.
“If you’re trying to get a reaction from me Rose you will have to try a lot harder” Nova says with a slight mocking tone in her voice making me chuckle.
“Rose if you do not have anything helpful to say I suggest you do not speak again” Axton growls angrily causing Rose to send him a look of surprise.
“You’re defending her?” She screeches.
