Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“Father would you mind?” I ask gesturing to the large space to the side of me.
“I’d be happy to” he snarls at David offended by the attitude the latter has shown him.
He quickly strips off his clothes and immediately his magnificent wolf is standing before us. “Hello” I whisper as I go to stroke his neck as he huffs in greeting.
“My father is a Guardian Wolf David, are you familiar with those?” I ask sharply as I turn to see his shocked face.
“Y..yes” I stutters out.
“So you must know that for my father to be a Guardian Wolf he has a good heart. Everyone around him is a priority and he would give his life to protect them” I say fiercely.
“They’re real” David murmurs in awe.
Stepping back I look at Jax who nods his head slowly. I turn and strip before shifting seamlessly into Kia, hearing David gasp in shock we pad over to him quietly before sitting directly in front of him.
“Perhaps now you will know that our love for Jax and Zeus is genuine. Guardian wolves cannot find their mates until they are 25 which I’m sure Nova would be happy to explain more on if you gave her the chance. If Jax dies..we die. We will do anything within our power to protect those around us and better this pack. Do not ever doubt us again” Kia warns him.
“You can link me?” David asks in shock.
“I can link anyone” she huffs before shifting back. I quickly dress behind Jaxs broad figure as my father does the same in the corner.
“Ki has grown” Jax tells me with pride shining in his eyes. “Let’s go for a run later, Zeus is desperate.” Grinning at him i nod in agreement.
Turning to see David staring at me in shock I step forward and sit down beside him. “I know this is a shock, however I hope that now you know..I would never harm or deceive your son or anyone here. My father is loyal, trust worthy and kind. We will fight ferociously to protect those we love and to right any wrongs.”
“Pa..Nova is my soul mate, my other half. Kingsley is her father, we are family” Jax says as he comes to stand before us.
After a moments silence David schools his features and turns to face me, “Nova I cannot apologise enough. I had no idea and I should have had more faith in Jax. I should have respected today of all days. Please accept my sincere apologies for my distrust and the attitude I have shown you and your father. I promise from now I will trust you both.”
Turning to face my dad he stands and offers his hand for a firm shake, “it’s an honour to meet a Guardian wolf. I hope you can put my initial comments to one side and we can move past this.”
“Of course” my father murmurs before turning to speak to me.
“Thank you Nova, that could have ended very differently” he says.
“I want no more fighting, after everything we have gone through I want to enjoy the rest of today” I say firmly to everyone.
“I second my Luna” Jax says before turning and offering his hand, “shall we go dance?” He asks with a smile.
“Let’s” I grin at him putting the drama behind me once again.
Nova POV:
“That was fun” I laugh as I blow the hairs away from my face whilst looking up at Jax as we leave the others that are dancing.
“You can dance that’s for sure” he murmurs huskily in my ear making my cheeks flush lightly “those hips..” he trails off with a wink.
“Are you insinuating something Alpha?” I flirt back.
With a rumble of deep laughter he shakes his head, “don’t give me any more ideas Nova” he says running his hand through his hair as I’ve noticed he does when he’s frustrated with his darkened eyes trained on mine. Flicking my eyes down I see his trousers seem tighter as he tries to contain his excitement.
“Sorry love” I whisper dropping a chaste kiss on his lips. “Shall we get a drink?”
“I’ll get you one, be back shortly” he says with a toothy smile. As I sit down on one of the benches I watch him walk gracefully away, admiring the way his clothes show off his rippling muscles. Sensing someone is walking towards me I drag my eyes away from my mate to look into those of his father.
“David..hi. You enjoying yourself?” I ask politely.
“Very much so thank you Nova, do you mind if I sit?” He asks pointing to the space next to me.
“Go ahead” I smile.
We sit together in silence for a moment before he takes a deep breath and turns to me. “I really am sorry Nova. It’s not how I wanted your first impression of me to be and I regret the way I spoke to you. My son..you, you both deserved better than that. Seeing you both dance and be carefree together was enlightening. I haven’t seen my son that happy since he was a teenager, and to know you’re the cause of his happiness i will never stand in the way of that. My unease wasn’t to you as an individual..it was the circumstances.”
“It’s alright David really. You knew very little about me but you knew I just came out of a chosen mateship less than a month ago. I understand your inquisitiveness to want to know more, it is in your blood being an Alpha after all. Fortunately for you I know what it means to want to protect those around you, hearing my father is the Rogue King must have been a big shock, I’m well aware of the stigma around rogues. But he is different I can assure you of that. Wanting to have knowledge to be able to help your family is normal” I say clearly.
“My first mate was killed by rogues” he says suddenly.
Hearing that my eyes flick to his as understanding dawns on me, “I’m sorry David I truly had no idea.”
Shrugging he looks away as I see his eyes cloud over slightly, “I met her a month before she was killed. We planned our mating ceremony, back then we marked in front of the pack now I know it’s very different. On the eve of our ceremony the rogues attacked and Minerva was killed protecting the pups. Because of her no one else died, but my distrust of rogues began there.”
“I understand” I say softly grasping his hand, “what they did was wrong. No one deserves to die in that way.”
“Your father is a very knowledgable man, I actually am looking forward to seeing him a little more” he laughs lightly at me with a shake of his head at his earlier actions.
“I’m glad to have gotten the chance to have a relationship with him again” I smile.
“Your secret Nova, and that of your fathers I promise to never tell a soul until the time is right. Your father has filled me in on what has happened..to believe his mate was killed for the last 25 years only to realise she must be alive must be heartbreaking. I will do anything I can to help” he says with conviction.
“Thank you David, for now I just want you to relax and enjoy yourself, perhaps you should tell Amelia I wouldn’t want this kept from her when you know” I say standing as Jax returns.
“Everything ok?” He checks his eyes flitting between his father and myself.
“Yes of course” I reply quickly, “I was just about to invite your parents to breakfast tomorrow actually” I say turning to look at David.
