Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“Are you in danger?” Alex asks suddenly causing Wilson’s eyes to widen in shock.
When he stays silent, Alex looks around with furrowed brows as he appears deep in thought. “Has Alpha Bruno been away from this pack much in recent months?”
“He has had matters to deal with off of pack grounds yes, however I cannot tell you more” Wilson replies moodily. “I will be happy to inform Alpha Bruno when he returns that you are wishing to speak to him.”
With a cold laugh, Alex steps forward as his aura is fully released, making the men of the Deep Forest Paclk submit immediately. “Your Alpha is very much aware that I wish to speak to him, he is aware that taking Mila in these circumstances will result in my anger, he has chosen to defy not only me but the council. Tell me Beta, are you aware that he will be facing consequences for his actions?”
“I am, especially after hearing what you have told me” Wilson replies through a clenched jaw, reluctant to speak but being forced to with the power of Alex’s Alpha command. “But he doesn’t care.”
“He doesn’t care” Alex replies with a sneer. “Well that doesn’t matter to me, Alpha Bruno will soon regret his actions believe me. I wish to see some pack members while we are here, check in and see how they are doing with the seemingly common occurrence of your Alpha disappearing.”
Seeing the hint of panic in the Betas eyes, I raise my brow at his reaction. “I don’t think that’s necessary” Wilson says quietly, his voice not as strong as it was earlier.
“I think its very necessary” Elder Martin interjects firmly. “I have many reasons to be concerned right now, as does your Alpha King, you dont want to refuse us do you?”
With a slight gesture of his head, Wilson has two of the warriors behind him move quickly inside.
“Nova, go with them” Alex orders me as Jax growls in reluctance. “She will be fine Jaxon, its not her you need to worry about right now.”
Seeing the men hurrying off without waiting for me, I raise my voice and order “WAIT!” With that the two warriors immediately freeze in their movements as I leisurely walk over to them with a smug smile on my face.
“H…how?” They splutter as I reach them.
“As our Alpha King said gentlemen, its not me that he needs to worry about” I whisper menacingly before pushing them forwards indicating they can move.
“Scout the place, if you need assistance then mind link us, we will be there immediately” Alex links me. “I asked you because people will underestimate you, but also because people may feel more comfortable speaking to you rather than these angry men out here.”
“I understand, keep an eye on Jax and Axton for me though” I reply as I step into the quiet pack house.
Seeing the men shift uncomfortably, their postures stiff while they watch me look around the entrance hall of the pack house, I c**k my head listening carefully for any sign of movement around me. “It certainly is awfully quiet around here gentlemen, our earlier observations were correct” I murmur as their eyes widen at my comment. “Perhaps you could give me a tour of your pack house and I’ll have a chat with people along the way.”
“Are you allowed to do that? It’s not an official visit is it?” One of the men asks nervously.
“Elder Martin and your Alpha King requested an audience with your Alpha, yet he’s not here, I suggest doing as I’ve asked as I’m only following orders myself” I tell them sharply, my tone not giving them room for argument. “Now..shall we start?”
Nova POV:
“Of course Luna” the same man replies.
“And your names men.?” I ask as they begin leading me towards the back of the pack house.
“My name is Jack, and this is Donald” he replies. “In there we have the kitchen” he gestures as he walks past.
Seeing them hurry to continue, I pause and push the door open. Seeing one older lady by a large fridge, I walk over slowly. “Good morning” I say softly making her startle suddenly.
“Sorry” I whisper. “I didn’t mean to scare you, I’m Luna Nova of the Midnight Sky Pack, we are visiting with the Alpha King. I’m just having a tour of the pack house and thought I’d introduce myself.”
Looking at her as she turns to face me, I see the tired lines on her face as well as her eyes that look haunted, her hair limp and dull as it falls down her back in a simple ponytail.
“Good morning Luna” she rasps as she slowly moves closer to me.
“You having a busy morning preparing for the pack?” I ask with a chuckle as I glance behind me to see Jack and Donald both stood in the doorway with their arms crossed intimidatingly.
With a nervous laugh she nods her head, her eyes flitting to the men before she looks back down at the floor. “Its always busy when you work In the kitchen” she whispers.
“Of course” I murmur realising her unease at speaking with me “Well I best leave you to get on, it was a pleasure meeting you. I’m sorry I didn’t catch your name?”
“Francesca” she says softly as her eyes look up at me briefly.
“Francesca” I repeat quietly. “Take care.”
With a small nod, she turns quickly and continues with the work she was busying herself with before I interrupted her.
Looking around the kitchen, I take in the spotless sides and empty sink, the hob burning with a couple of pans but that’s all. With raised brows i look at the men who avoid my gaze, “move on men” I order loudly as they both jump back into action upon hearing my sharp tone.
They proceed to show me the rest of the downstairs of the pack house, introducing me to a couple of omegas on the way who are all quiet yet polite in their passing conversations. Walking upstairs, I note the door leading to the offices is locked along with the corridor opposite.
“These are only for ones in ranked positions” Donald explains gruffly. “We don’t have clearance.”
“Of course” I murmur as I study the two men walking in front of me. “Could I see your nursery?”
Seeing the nervous look pass between them, I speak again.
“It wasn’t really a request” I snap releasing my aura slightly, not giving them any chance to argue as they submit to me.
“This way” Jack mutters, leading me back downstairs and out of a side door. Looking to my right, I see the others stood to one side in silence while the Beta stands watching them. Seeing Jax look up at me, l offer him a small smile as I link him. “Not everyone is here, only one cook in the kitchen, the place was spotless and looked like it wasn’t used much at all. A lot of upstairs is locked and these men don’t have clearance, I’m on my way too the nursery now.”
“Ok, look after yourself” he replies with quiet concern.
“I always do, perhaps ask about their warriors” I tell him as I give him a little wave.
“It’s this building here” Donald tells me as we reach a large grey block building with dark doors leading inside. Seeing a few women walking down the road along with their pups, I smile at the men as I walk past them and in to the reception. Looking through the doors leading to the different rooms, I see a few pups already here, but instead of being met with the joyous sound of their tinkling laughs, see them sat quietly. Many are playing in silence, while some are simply sat staring out the window looking into the dark forest in front of them.
Hearing the doors open, I turn and see a young woman and her two pups enter. Meeting my gaze, her eyes widen in surprise before she looks at Jack and Donald nervously.
