Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“To control your anger” Elder Frost says coldly.
“I haven’t struggled with my anger since I was 12 years old and that was through no fault of my own if I have to remind you, anyway..being around my fated would calm that so called anger if it was a true issue wouldn’t it” I point out.
With clenched jaws they say nothing until we reach the 3rd floor rooms, as they hold the doors open for us to walk in I pause directly in front of them both as I take a deep breath. “Strange..it’s almost as if you wanted me to be alone, to not have my mate there for me, or my brother” I murmur whilst at looking in their eyes.
” I can assure you Luna Nova that is not the case” Frost says as he struggles to maintain eye contact.
“Well Elder, if your eyes didn’t give you away then your scent does..you reek of lies” I hiss as I step forward. Seeing panic flare in his eyes I cock my head at him, “now I just need to now why” I muse.
Pausing for a moment as I study them I step back before smiling lazily. “If you’ll excuse us, we would like to freshen up, we will be done shortly.” With that I close our door on their shocked faces and breathe a sigh of relief.
“Weird” Jax comments.
“They don’t want you near me because they think you increase my strength, both physically and mentally” I explain as I head towards the bathroom.
“Does it?” He asks intrigued.
“Yes in a way” I say, “but even if you’re not near me I’m something they should worry about” I add with a grin.
“Oh I know” he smirks at me before tapping my arse and striding past.
“Have they always been this strange around you?” He asks.
“Yes” I shrug, “bar a couple. I’m a rarity, one they don’t fully understand so they are cautious around me.”
“Because you’re a threat” he says imply.
“Well I wasn’t..but I am now” I chuckle. “They’re in for a shock, I’m not the docile wolf eager to please anymore, I’m now one that is looking for answers and has been hurt and betrayed.”
“And your anger they mentioned?” He asks quietly.
Rolling my eyes I chuckle, “it was nothing. An elder thought it appropriate to insult me when I was 12, called me a young girl who had no place in our world.”
“Didn’t go down well I imagine” he chuckles.
“It’s the only time I had any sort of conflict with them before now, and well the man in question ended up 15ft away from me slumped against a tree with 3 broken ribs, a cracked eye socket and a broken leg” I shrug. “Needless to say from that moment onwards they worked well with me, or I thought they were.”
“This should be entertaining then” Jax says mischievously.
“It could be” I wink.
Jax POV:
After freshening up we hear a knock on the door and I quickly open it to see a shy maid stood waiting, “hello Alpha Jax, I have been told to inform you lunch will be held in 30 minutes if you could meet in the dining room” she says nervously.
Smiling slightly to ease her nerves I nod my head, “of course, thank you for letting us know.”
With a slight bow she turns and walks to Lucas door to inform him of the same.
“Who was it?” Nova asks as she walks out of our bathroom fastening her belt on her dress.
“A maid, we have lunch in 30 minutes” I say which she sighs loudly at.
“Ah goddess ok” she laughs before quickly heading over to the vanity in the room to make sure her appearance is in check.
“You ready?” I ask 20 minutes later as I hear Lucas door opening.
“I’m ready” Nova says turning and giving me a quick kiss.
“Who do you think will be there?” I ask.
“I imagine the council head Elder Martin and then I’m sure Frost and others will join him” she says with a slight shrug. “Do they know you well?”
“No” I answer, “I tend to avoid the council whenever possible, I never wanted their involvement with running the pack.”
“Im starting to think that was a wise choice” she says with a light laugh.
“Let’s head down then” I say with a smile as I open the door for her.
Walking out we meet Luca who is waiting on the landing along with Alpha Axton.
“Alpha Jax, Luna Nova” he says extending his hand for me to shake, “congratulations on your official mating, I’m happy for you both.”
“Thank you Alpha” Nova says politely seeing the truth in his eyes. “Are you ready for this?” She asks as we start down the stairs.
“Are you ever ready to meet the council?” He asks with a grimace.
“N..” Luca starts speaking before Nova holds her hand up effectively stopping everyone from speaking.
“Nova?” I ask through the link as we all look around in confusion.
“Wait..I can hear voices” she links, “I heard my name i’m intrigued.”
Lifting my finger to my lips to make sure Luca and Axton don’t make a sound I motion to Novas ears. They nod slightly in understanding as i try and strain my hearing.
