Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“I’m nervous to face Luca, what if he hates me” she whispers.
“Why would he hate you?” I exclaim.
“I spent time with your parents killer, she was involved in the attack Nova. It was there on her phone” she admits looking scared to tell me. “I have it with me for you to look at.”
“You didn’t know Sophie, you were used do you hear me? This is not your fault” I comfort her. “Luca will have been worried for you, yes at first he was angry when we discovered the photo but Jax spoke to him..and me. Jax didn’t believe for one moment that you could betray us.”
“Really?” She whispers surprised.
“Yes. He made some extremely valid points” I explain.
“Nova love are you ok?” Jax links me making me realise I’ve been gone a while.
“Jax has linked me, are you up for going to the office?” I ask.
Squaring her shoulders she nods her head determinedly, “yes, I need to tell them myself.”
“That a girl” I wink before going to get my coffee. “Damn” I moan as I pick up my cold cup. “Let me just make a fresh one, I need caffeine” I say making her chuckle lightly, “do you want one?”
“Please” she smiles politely.
“I’m glad we got to chat Sophie, I’m sorry we haven’t been able to spend more time together but once this has all calmed down we will. I’ll make sure of it” I promise her.
“I’d really like that” she murmurs happily.
Turning with the tray I jerk my head to the stairs, “come on then, I’ll lead the way.”
“On my way up love, I’m not alone. Don’t let anyone react badly” I warn him.
“Ok..?” He asks through the link fishing for more details.
“See you in a minute” is all I say as we head up the stairs.
Opening the door I smile reassuringly at Sophie, “look who found me” I say lightly as we walk into the room together.
“S, Sophie?!” Luca exclaims in shock as he stands from the sofa. Seeing everyone else pause as they take in my relaxed stance I smile lightly.
“Sophie has a lot to tell you, but I’m going to make it clear as I can tell that Luca is itching to check on his mate. She did not in any way betray us, she did what she did to protect us” I say clearly as relief spreads across my father’s face.
With a sigh of relief Luca rushes to her and wraps her in his arms holding her tightly to him, “I thought you’d left me” I heard him whisper.
“I’m so sorry Luca” she says into his chest whilst reaching an arm around to stroke his back comfortingly. “You’ll never lose me.”
“Sophie are you ok?” Dad asks stepping forward looking concerned.
“Yes dad, I’m ok. I promise” she says with conviction.
“Why don’t you sit down Sophie and tell them everything you told me” I say gesturing to the sofa. With a nod she turns to sit down but Luca pulls her down onto his lap in comfort.
Seeing Jaxs bewildered face I walk over and sit on his lap as well dropping a soft kiss on his lips, “just listen, you were right.”
As Sophie sits and explains everything she has done today and the decisions she had to make I see everyone’s faces go through a range of emotion. From confusion, to worry, to being impressed and finally to pride.
“You’re just like your sister” I hear Laurence chuckle as she finishes her explanation. “Logical and fiercely protective of those you love.”
With a smile stretching across her face at his words she blushes and tucks her face into Lucas chest much to everyone’s amusement.
“I’m so proud of you darling, your mother would be as well” my dad says quietly making a few tears escape her eyes.
“Thanks dad” she whispers.
“I didn’t mean to betray your trust with the tracker..” he starts before she quickly interjects.
“I’d rather have it than not dad” she says looking at him not giving him room to apologise further.
“I wish you had let me mark you Soph” I hear Luca say quietly, “I just want to protect you, I don’t mind that you can’t mark me.”
Stroking his cheek she smiles, “I know. I only said no because of today, I knew you would try to find me and I couldn’t risk you being hurt. I want you to” she tells him shyly.
As he grins widely I chuckle, “remind me not to go near your room tonight” I joke making everyone laugh.
“You can mark him Sophie” Kia links her allowing everyone to hear. “Maybe not right now but you will be able to at some point.”
“What?” Sophie asks in shock.
“You have a wolf, I can sense her. But there is something stopping her from emerging, I have a feeling it has something to do with when you were born, maybe the hunters had help then and wanted to stop another wolf being allowed free” Kia says making Sophie gasp.
“Really?” She asks excitedly.
“You smell like a wolf Sophie, if you were born without one you wouldn’t smell like one” I point out. “We will figure this out for you.”
“You can mark me” Luca grins against her lips looking excited.
“Oh go upstairs you two, you’ve agreed to stay another night haven’t you?”I chuckle, “maybe you can help her wash” I suggest to Luca wiggling my brows.
