Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“He was the one that grabbed me after I’d politely declined his offer, if he hadn’t gotten physical than neither would I. I suppose it did hurt him to be shown up by a woman both through rejection and then being kicked to the floor” I say with a shrug as I watch his Beta whisper in his ear to calm him down.
As I finish the doors open and everyone stops talking as two guards bring Rose into the room. Chained and dragging her feet on the floor she looks a shell of the woman we met a few weeks ago. Her hair is lacking any shine and is hanging limply on her head, her eyes are lifeless and shallow with large dark circles for her under eye whilst her skin is pale showing the lack of exposure to the sun in recent weeks.
Seeing Axton walk in and take a seat at the side without so much as sparing a glance at Rose I wait as Elder Martin makes his way to the front and begins to address the room.
“Good morning everyone. Today we are holding trial of former Luna, Rose Brown, for the known drugging of Alpha Axton of the White Mountain Pack to cause a forced betrayal of the mateship bond between him and his chosen at the time. We are also bringing into question the authenticity of the bond between Alpha Axton and Rose Brown” he says which causes a spread of muttering to extend throughout the room.
“Brown?” Jax whispers questioningly.
Shrugging I have no answer for him, “perhaps Jacob and Frost are half brothers or it could be her mother’s name” I suggest quietly.
“To begin I would like Alpha Axton to take to the stand and tell us his version of events” Martin says clearly ending the muttering.
As Axton walks to the seat in the front booth he looks at me and Jax for a moment before turning his full attention to Martin. I see Rose out the corner of my eye look at him with a mixture of longer and anger.
“Alpha Axton if you could please speak” Martin says gesturing for him to begin.
Clearing his throat his deep voice resonates around the room as he begins talking, “last month we were holding an emergency meeting between 4 different packs regarding a Rogue matter. As we were greeting the guests my Luna at the time, Luna Nova, and I met Rose. I caught her eye and felt the effect of a mate bond snap into place, as Luna Nova headed the meeting I led Rose to the downstairs room as I wished to explain the mateship between Nova and myself. I did not wish to cause any physical pain to Nova and as I was intending to explain why to Rose. She asked if I would like some tea whilst we talked, I drank some before talking whilst I gathered my thoughts but immediately became overcome with lust for her and ended up taking her to my room and mating. We spent 3 days there where I ended up marking her, I didn’t know why I was so lustful for her and was naive believing it was the strength of the matebond. I came to 3 days later when Nova was addressing the pack issuing her goodbyes. From then on whenever I had to speak to Rose about a pressing matter we would agree to sit down and talk over tea only to end up having sex.” Taking a deep breath he narrowed his eyes before continuing.
“We had Nova and Alpha Jax return for a pack matter and Rose administered an aphrodisiac during our dessert which only I consumed. However instead of Rose being my focus of attention it was Nova who was sat opposite me. I fought the effects out of respect for Nova and commanded Rose where she told me she had drugged me and had also attempted to seduce Alpha Jax to betray Nova. My Beta Luca then took her away to the cells and the following morning I contacted the council requesting a trial and to officially break the mateship between Rose and myself.”
Silence followed his speech before Martin asks his following question, “do you know why she drugged you?”
“I don’t, but I assumed she was jealous and wanted to ensure my attention was on her and not my chosen”Axton replies.
“Can you explain why you wanted to speak to Rose about your relationship with your chosen?” Martin asks.
“Nova and I had signed a contract stating if either of us found our fated mate we would step aside and allow the relationship with the fated mate to progress. However we agreed to follow all mateship laws and not cause any physical pain to one another through betrayal. I have to mention this for people to understand, Nova did not in anyway pose a threat to Rose” he says whilst meeting my eyes. “When I first met Rose I froze, there were multiple witnesses with Alpha Jax being one of them, Nova was the one who pushed me forward to greet her. I got carried away with the bond and kissed Rose despite knowing I shouldn’t however Nova did not say anything. Instead she left us be and took charge of the meeting with the guests. I immediately regretted causing her pain simply by a kiss and that’s why I requested talking to Rose and explaining everything” Axton says his voice slightly wavering as he mentions the pain he caused me.
“Did you ever show any hint that you would perhaps reject Rose” Martin asks.
“No. Never. I believe my words were “shit that felt good but we have to stop. I can’t hurt Nova but trust me I won’t be rejecting you” I then led her to the downstairs lounge” he says with a grimace as he recalls the events.
“Ok, that is all I am asking for now but we will have some follow up questions later on” Martin says gesturing for Axton to return to his seat.
Turning to Jax he offers me a comforting smile which i return making him relax slightly as he sees I am ok.
“That was hard to hear” Luca mutters beside me as I look at him in shock.
“I didn’t ask too many questions at the time, I was upset with how much pain you were in and you were my priority after returning from patrol” he explains softly. Squeezing his hand I turn to Elder Martin as he begins speaking once more.
“Next I would like Luna Nova to come down” he says making everyone’s eyes snap to myself as I gently kiss Jaxs temple and gracefully head to the front holding my head hi.
“Time to show them our strength” Kia says with a wolfish grin.
Nova POV:
“Good morning Luna Nova, so to begin I would like you to confirm if what Alpha Axton has said is accurate and include any other relevant information you have” Elder Martin says looking at me with an expressionless face.
Nodding I sit up straight and look around the room before setting my eyes on Rose who’s face is contorted with anger.
“I can confirm that what Alpha Axton has said is true. The three days leading up to me leaving the White Mountain Pack and relinquishing my role as Luna was long and painful. I suffered betrayal pains throughout the meeting initially but as I left the pain increased in strength, I ended up passing out and the next thing I knew I was in the hospital. My mark was inflamed and angry due to Alpha Axton and Rose having marked one another. However from waking up the following day It meant I didn’t suffer any more pains from them both” I say clearly my voice strong. “I left hospital on day 3 and returned to the pack and offered my goodbye to those present. That is when Alpha Axton came down with Rose, he was angry however Rose did attempt to attack me. She wasn’t successful” I smirk looking at her as she growls at me.
“She attacked you?” Elder Martin repeats.
“Yes. The pack members were shouting “long live the true Luna” not at my request may I add. They weren’t happy with the way Alpha Axton and Rose had treated me, however I explained now the contract was null and void I was no longer required to stay and help Rose adapt to the Luna role as I had agreed when we signed the contract. I still requested Elder Angela to train with Rose to help her. Her initial attempt at attacking me was after I said I would not stay to train her. The second time was as I was walking away I reminded them of the pain they had caused me. She lept at me from behind and I turned and grabbed her brown wolf’s throat and pinned her to the floor. There I reminded her of the pain I could inflict if wanted and turned and relinquished my ties.”
“Did you warrant the attack?” Elder Martin asks.
“No. I didn’t warrant any of the events that took place those few days but I will always protect myself when someone wants to cause harm. Even to a pathetic wolf like Rose” I say with a cold smile directed at her as she snarls at me.
“How did you wake after 3 days? Marking another can cause someone to die but you recovered?” Someone interjected from the audience.
Raising my brows at Martin he shifted uncomfortably, “it’s up to you to answer that as it wasn’t an official question from myself. However people will wonder.”
“Because I’m a strong wolf” I say simply.
Hearing a few sniggers from the audience I smile softly before clicking my tongue. “Don’t test me.”
“Did anything else happen between Rose and yourself?” Elder Martin asks swiftly moving on.
“She made judgemental comments when she visited our pack alongside my brother and Alpha Axton. She also arranged for Alpha Jax and I to stay in separate rooms when we visited their pack” I say. “Mine was to be opposite Alpha Axtons and Roses room, which was my room that they decided to originally fuck in. Whilst Alpha Jax was staying on a different floor. My brother and Alpha Axton didn’t agree with her idea so I was showed to the room with Alpha Jax. She wasn’t happy with it. Then there was the meal..she jumped on Alpha Jaxs lap so I threw her across the room.”
“So you didn’t initiate anything?” Elder Martin verifies.
“Not once, she tested my patience continually but I never once initiated anything” I reply calmly.
“LIES” she snarls whilst baring her teeth at me.
“You’re not worth me lying” I coldly reply.
“Why would she be so set on causing you pain?” Elder Martin asks with a certain gleam in his eyes.
“Well I only was told yesterday that Rose is Alpha Jacob’s daughter, I do believe it was due to me turning down Jacob’s mateship proposal a few years ago” I say whilst leaning forward. “I clearly insulted the man’s ego and he couldn’t move past it.”
