Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“Hello Alpha” Laurence greets me as he stands behind my desk, “I have Axel on a video call here and he is currently accessing cameras nearby the track Gamma Florence was taken.”
“Hello Axel” I say as I step into the camera frame.
“Jax” he greets shortly as he’s busy doing as I’ve requested. “I have managed to hack into the house CCTV cameras from the old mill 2 miles down the road. There was a large transit van and a smaller caddy pass by an hour ago going much quicker than the speed limit other than that there has been no movement since this morning when the residents of the mill house left for work. I’m just getting the number plates now and then I will be able to track their movements much easier.”
“Thank you Axel” I say grateful for my brothers quick thinking.
“Sir I need you to come to the pack hospital immediately, as we were changing Andrew to his hospital gown we noticed a note tucked in the waistband of his trousers. It was very nearly missed. We haven’t read it as it is addressed to the Luna” a nurse links me quickly.
“Ah fuck” I grunt. “They’ve found a note on Andrew addressed for you Nova. We need to go over there immediately.” Seeing her face drain of colour I immediately know the guilt is growing inside her. “Stop that immediately” I say calmly grasping her head in my hands and resting my forehead against hers.
“What?” She whispers her lips trembling.
“I can feel the guilt you are feeling Nova, and I am going to remind you..again. You are not to blame. Let’s focus on finding Florence, this is not just about you. It has been going on since before you were born and you are a pawn in their game.”
With a nod of her head she brushes the tears away that have fallen quickly before straightening her shoulders. “You’re right, let’s go. Laurence please can you contact my father and inform him of what has happened. Also be sure to reassure him Sophie is safe, she is in the downstairs lounge with warriors and is fine.”
“Will do Luna, if Luca isn’t back in the next 20 minutes I will check on her myself” Laurence says with a small smile.
“Thank you Beta” she says before spinning on her feet and storming towards the hospital. Feeling the anger brewing in her I walk by her side and allow her to process everything hoping it will calm her down.
“She may feel extreme anger but she has excellent control of it Jax, it’s not something we need to worry about. Kia assured me they use it to their strength” Zeus informs me.
“Never doubted her for a second” I tell him.
As we walk into the pack hospital there is a young nurse waiting for us who immediately runs over, “if you could follow me Alpha, Luna I will show you to Andrews room.”
“Thank you” I say taking Novas hand lending her my strength.
Walking in I see Andrew lying down half undressed but his wounds treated and wrapped. “We will finish getting him changed once you have taken the note, we didn’t want to touch it once we saw it has Lunas name on the top” the nurse explained.
“You did the right thing, I can’t smell any poison either so I believe it’s safe for me to touch” Nova says as she leans forward taking the note.
Before she opens it I reach a hand out and cover it with my own looking at her before turning to the nurse who is watching, “could you take us to a vacant room so we can open this in private?”
Understanding dawns in the nurses eyes as she immediately opens the door, “of course Alpha, there is a room down the end of the hall.”
Walking in I utter my thanks before closing the door quietly and turning to have Nova, “whatever it says we will deal with it ok love?”
“Ok” she says quietly gazing at the note clasped in her hand. “Let’s read it.”
Opening the note her hands stay steady as she controls her breathing helping stay calm, I stand behind with my arms wrapped around her waist to comfort her as I read over her shoulder.
“Nova,
The day you were born was the day we lost our daughter forever. She was unable to complete her mission and for that she had to withstand the consequences. She failed in ridding of the last Guardian Wolf, your father, something we had been working towards for 20 years previous, ever since learning of his survival. She let herself be led astray by the foolish man and continued to live in a false sense of security different to what she was destined for. The disappointment I feel for the decisions our daughter made will never fade, she is a disgrace to our family and she will continue to suffer because of that.
But you..you and your father have made the lives of those around you at a far greater risk. I will not stop until you are both gone and the Guardian Wolves are eradicated from this world.
But for now I want two things, if you return my dear Caroline to me then your she Wolf will be returned safe. But that will only be the case if your father and yourself bring Caroline to me. You have one week. At 2pm in 7 days time we will be at the address at the bottom of this note, be sure to come alone. If there is any other activity of others being nearby or with you I will know and everyone will suffer.
It’s time to embrace your fate granddaughter, the future of the werewolves depends on it.
“Shit” Nova whispers before falling back into my waiting arms.
Jax POV:
Cradling Nova in my arms I stoke her hair as silent sobs rack her body.
“What am I supposed to do?” She whispers to me her voice full of conflict.
“We will figure this out Nova. First we need to know how he knew Caroline was coming here today, a few days ago we didn’t even know she was your grandmother. We need to speak to your father” I say calmly not allowing her to sense the stress I’m experiencing.
“I’m so sorry Jax” she cries softly, “I don’t want to hurt anyone and now I’m this packs Luna all I’m causing them is worry and harm and it’s only been a day.”
“Don’t be silly Nova. Do you think Axton could have been involved in this?” I ask suddenly as I realise we only made plans this morning for Caroline to be transferred.
Hearing that she looks at me before slowly shaking her head, “I know where you’re coming from I really do. But I wasn’t lying when he said he treated me well, I was mated to him and I know that man, he is a good man. That’s why I was so upset when he slept with Rose, it made me think I didn’t really know him at all but now we know why he acted the way he did.” Taking a deep breath she looks me in the eye, “neither Kia or myself think Axton is responsible for this.”
Trying to hide the grimace on my face when I hear her praise him I clearly fail as my body stiffens making her reach a hand out to cup my face gently, “he is not my mate, you are. And I wouldn’t change that for anything, you are mine Jax and I am yours. You have shown me what true love is and it is the greatest gift of them all. I know it’s not nice to hear me speak about him like that and I know you’re protective of me after seeing what he did but I will never lie to you. I don’t believe it was him.”
Clasping my hand over hers I smile gently, “I know love you don’t have to explain.”
“We need to go back to the office and speak to Laurence” I say after another moment of holding one another, “are you ok to do that?”
She stands up and holds her head high, “let’s do it.”
“Thank you for your discretion” I say to the nurse as we leave to which she smiles and bows to us respectfully.
“We will keep you updated regarding Andrew” she says softly squeezing Novas hand.
We walk to the park house quickly thankful that there are not many around so we can progress quickly. Striding in the office I move the chair for Nova to take a seat and go to stand beside Laurence.
“Read this” I order giving him the note before turning my attention to Axel. “Any updates?”
