Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“You will tonight buddy, I think we are both intrigued to meet her” I laugh.
Hearing a knock on the door I shout come in to let Laurence know I’m expecting him. “Hey man, how are you?” I ask as he takes a seat in front of me.
Not hearing anything I look up and see him grinning at me, “what?” I ask wearily.
“Nothing” he shrugs, “I’m very good, how was your walk?” He asks knowingly.
Trying to stop the smile from spreading across my face I look away knowing I haven’t, “good..it’s nice to speak to someone who knows the pain. She’s an interesting woman, very strong” I say shrugging as I look back at him.
“Well Naomi and I are happy to see Nova and Alice join the pack, they were lovely at lunch and I think they’ll settle in perfectly” Laurence replies.
“What did it feel like when you met your mate?” I ask him bluntly.
Seeing his eyes widen questioningly he looks at me for a moment before leaning back to reply, “well her scent was intoxicating and when we touched there were sparks that flew through our bodies. It’s hard to explain but it’s intense and pretty amazing” he smiles as he reminisces. “Why are you asking?” He asks looking at me steadily.
Taking a deep breath I tilt my head up before I reply, “her scent is becoming stronger to me and I swear when we’ve touched there have been faint jolts of electricity almost between us. I know she’s noticed it to, I heard her gasp when I helped her stand earlier.”
“That’s amazing boss! But why do you sound unsure?” He probes.
“I can’t explain why, maybe Nova will in time but for certain reasons she cant sense her mate until her 25th birthday which is in 20 days now. So I don’t know if she is or not” I shrug casually trying not to show that I’m hopeful.
“It could be the bond developing” he murmurs deep in thought.
“That’s what Zeus said” I agree, “but we will just wait and see.”
“Anyway let’s talk business” I say slapping my hand down on the desk as we start discussing what has happened over the last few days. After a couple of hours I hear a soft knock on the door and a waft of Novas raspberry and mint scent. Standing up I walk over and open it smiling in welcome, “hi Nova, come in it’s just Laurence and I in here” I say gesturing towards the other chair in front of my desk.
“Thank you Alpha, sorry I didn’t mean to disturb you both” she says gently as she gracefully lowers herself into the chair and crosses her legs highlighting her toned figure. Thinking back to how shapely she looked when she was walking in front of me earlier I suppressed a slight moan and leant forward hiding my slight growing discomfort down below.
“I was just thinking about what we discussed earlier Alpha” she began.
“Jax, Nova. Remember what we agreed” I smirk at her. Seeing her suppress a large smile she continues, “Jax..I know I requested to not make the knowledge of Kia known around the pack but I do think it would be beneficial for Beta Laurence and your Gammas to know. But I wanted to get your approval beforehand?”
“It’s completely up to you Nova, I personally think it’s a good idea and may answer some questions I know this inquisitive man opposite me may have. It may also solidify people’s opinions of you within this pack who are ranked. I know you will always think of others first, I’ve seen that first hand. If you wish to say then I don’t oppose the idea, but thank you for thinking to ask first” I answer her.
With a deep breath she turns her attention to Laurence who is looking at her with raised eyebrows, “Kia isn’t a normal wolf…” she starts before Laurence holds up his hand pausing her.
Grinning he leans forward, “can I hazard a guess?”
Seeing Novas puzzled expression she shrugs looking intrigued, “go for it” she exclaims.
“You’re a Guardian Wolf” he says casually staring at her. Huffing a laugh out I shake my head when I see Nora’s amazed expression.
“What? How?!” She stutters out gazing at him.
“Just something Jax said earlier when we were talking about mates, but I’ve also noticed the power radiating from you. I have Alpha blood in me which is why I’ve noticed I think, but my wolf has a natural respect for you as do I. Plus when Jax informed me of what happened at your previous pack I knew from the way you handled yourself and your recovery time that you were something special. Mythology has always intrigued me, but to know Guardian Wolves are existing amongst us..it’s amazing!” He says growing more excited as he speaks.
Turning to me Nova giggles, “well that was a lot easier than I expected. I’m glad you know Beta” she adds on graciously to Laurence.
“I’m honoured, truly” he responds sincerely, “are there more of you?”
“No” Nova shakes her head, “the council of elders obviously are aware of me and have helped me tremendously growing up. Shifting aged 8 brought on a lot of questions but the council did agree it was due to traumatic events and we went with that. Plus when people saw my wolf they asked more questions, but because I’m adopted I said it was most likely due to my parents origins and because I don’t know them I couldn’t say anymore.”
“You’re adopted?” I repeat having not known that piece of information, “you and Luca are very close.”
“He’s an amazing brother, I was lucky to have the parents I did as well they were incredibly supportive and patient with me when I navigated a slightly different path to most. I was placed on their doorstep when I was 3 weeks old with a letter saying when I was born and that the support I would need in the future couldn’t be provided by my birth parents.” She says quietly, “my parents couldn’t have any more children because of a complication when Luca was born so they welcomed me into the family immediately and never looked back.”
“What happened to your parents?” I inquire.
A lone tear rolled down her face before she quickly wiped it away, “they were attacked a year and a half ago by hunters and killed whilst out on a scouting mission. It was brutal and inhumane and it could have broken us, luckily we had each other and because of our responsibilities we let it make us stronger.”
“You’re welcome to contact Luca whenever you would like Nova” I say softly.
“Thank you Jax, I’m going to give him a few days for everything to settle down in his pack but I will definitely contact him next week” she confirms with me.
“Right Laurence I say we’ve finished work for the day, let’s go get some dinner before the pack run tonight” I say stretching as I stand, “Nova after you” I gesture as I hold the door open.
Nova POV:
After dinner we all head down to the open training grounds where we wait for Jax to start the pack run. Seeing Flo walk towards me I hold my arms open ready for her hug.
“I’m sorry I missed dinner Nova, Andrew and I were on patrol” she explains. Gesturing to the large man behind her who is full of muscle and has a large tribal tattoo on his right bicep she smiles widely, “this is Andrew..my mate.”
Reaching my hand out to shake his politely he waves my hand away and draws me in for a warm hug, “it’s a pleasure to meet you Nova, I’ve heard all about you from Flo and Theo. If it hadn’t of been for you I don’t know when I would have been lucky enough to meet Flo, so thank you” he whispers quietly in my ear.
Stepping back I hold my hands over my heart, “that’s really kind Andrew, it’s so lovely to meet the man who’s making Flo so happy” I express. “You’re going to have to tell me all about when you first met you know” I say giving Flo a look.
“Gossip session” she smirks at me making Andrew look slightly worried, patting his arm she laughs “nothing to worry about babe” as she winks at me playfully.
Seeing Jax walking over he comes to stand beside me, “you ready Nova? I’d like to introduce you and Alice to the pack before we run” he says as Alice and Theo join us.
“Ready” we both repeat enthusiastically clasping our hands together.
Walking towards the front with Jax I see more than a few curious looks our way however absolutely everyone smiled in greeting making me realise how welcoming this pack is.
