Guardian Wolf

Jax POV:
O
As we arrived back at the pack house and said farewell to Alpha Brent after
promising to keep him updated, I ask everyone to gather in the lounge before I lead Nova to the office silently. As we walk through the door I turn to look at her and see her eyes tinged red from crying.
“Are you ok?” I ask gently.
Pausing for a moment she looks at me before nodding, “I’m just shocked” she
murmurs.
“We all are” I agree bringing her into my chest.
“My father is alive” she breathed laughing softly, “never did I expect that I would meet
him.”
“He’s a Guardian Wolf Nova, you’re not alone in this you have someone who
understands and can support you” I whisper into her hair.
Stepping back I see her look up at me biting her lip, “it’s all a bit overwhelming” she
whispers.
“I know love, but you’re not alone. We are all here for you, your dad will be coming for a private lunch tomorrow. We can get more answers then but I think for now your need to relax” I suggest quietly, “let’s go and speak to the others but I think an
afternoon spent watching movies and eating ice cream is in order.”
“Yeah I’ll do that” she agrees.
“We will do that, goddess knows I deserve an afternoon off” I say making light of the
situation squeezing her hand as we walk back downstairs, I drop a quick k*ss on her
forehead before we walk into the lounge to meet everyone’s stares.
“Nova are you ok?” Luca asks stepping forward and grasping her hands in his.
“I’m ok Luca truly” she assures him, “I am just shocked.”
He lets out a deep sigh of relief as Axton steps forward, “are you sure?” He checks
knowing what this means.

“Yes Alpha Axton, thank you for your concern” she says graciously. Seeing his eyes
narrow slightly at the title before clearing he nods and steps back.
“So you’ve met your long lost dead daddy” Rose sneers at Nova earning a soft warning growl from myself. Nova simply looks at her but doesn’t respond.
“What’s so special about this anyway?” Rose continues, “pups grow up without their parents all the time. It’s not that big of a deal” she scoffs.
“Luna if you do not start showing some respect to my sister there will be a problem,
you may be the daughter of an Alpha but you do not act as such” Luca growls glaring. at Rose before shooting Axton an angry scowl.
“What? I’m only asking Luca. Nova here appears to win over men’s affection very
easily, I’m only wondering why” she says trying to get a raise from Nova whilst smirking at me looking me up and down.
“If you’re trying to get a reaction from me Rose you will have to try a lot harder” Nova
says with a slight mocking tone in her voice making me chuckle.

“Rose if you do not have anything helpful to say I suggest you do not speak again”
Axton growls angrily causing Rose to send him a look of surprise.
“You’re defending her?” She screeches.
“You do not have any understanding of this situation, I didn’t want you here but you.
insisted on coming once you realised Nova would be present. The least you can do is
be respectful and follow my instruction” he growls back with narrowed eyes.
Hearing this she gulps before muttering, “I had to see what was so special about her to make everyb*dy fawn over her.”
“How is your Luna training going Rose?” Nova suddenly asks causing Rose to grow
quiet.
Turning her attention to Axton she asks further, “I do hope elder Angela is been helpful in her advice?”
“Rose refuses to attend any Luna training organised by yourself, which is something
we do not agree on” he adds on throwing Rose a slightly dirty look.
“I am not being preened to act as your previous lover Axton, I am a Luna by right and

therefore I will act as I see fit. I am there to strengthen that pack I’ll remind you” she replied haughtily.
“Oh so what have you done to help Rose?” Nova asks.
“Luna Rose” Rose replies angrily simply making Nova raise her eyebrows for her to continue.
“I have supported pack members, organised the Luna ceremony and helped with the food preparation” she says glaring at Nova.
“Oh because from my understanding you have refused helping pack members causing them to be upset with your presence, you’ve refused the training I willingly organised to help you despite the hurt you caused me. You have delegated the Luna
ceremony organisation to my brother in which I helped point him in the right direction of what companies to contact to help organise. It sounds to me like I’ve had to help do the Luna duties even when I am not part of your pack” Nova says looking at her calmly. “And May I remind you there is much more to being a Luna than what you
have claimed you have done” she scoffs adding on at the end making Roses face
drain of colour.
Hearing that Rose opens her mouth to reply before snapping shut.
“I would suggest you continue your training Rose, you are no Luna yet” Nova says
coldly to her before turning her gaze to Axton.
“Get her sorted Axton, I did not commit 3 years of hard work to help your pack for her
to go and spend all the finances on her own self image. She needs to learn manners
and have empathy and understanding towards others. I am saying that because I do not want to see the White Mountain Pack go downhill not because I am some
scorned “lover” as she so eloquently put it but because I am the ex Luna. I hope at
some point our relationship actually meant something to you. Please do not cause
me further pain by allowing that to happen just so you can get laid at night” she says
bluntly. “I apologise for my harshness but I have been incredibly patient with what has happened but I am nearing my limit with her ignorance.”
Axtons eyes soften in understanding at hearing her words before he nods, “of course Nova. You’re right..you always are” he laughs lightly looking ashamed.
With that Rose glares at him before stomping from the room to the waiting car.

“Nova you are welcome to see me at any time, please don’t be a stranger” Luca says stepping forward and giving her a warm hug. “Ring me tomorrow if you need to speak to someone, I am always always here. Remember how proud mum and dad are of us
ok.”
“I love you Luca, you’ll always be my brother” she says emotionally to him.
“Always” he promises before he heads towards outside stopping by me on the way.
“I can see the love you have for one another in your eyes, treat her well and I hope and
pray you are mates in a few days time” he says quietly for only me to hear.
“Always” I promise just as he had a few seconds earlier, “I’d like to personally extend you an open invitation to this pack if you wish to visit Nova. Her family will always be
welcome here.”
With a shake of my hand he nods and leaves the room leaving Axton behind.
Turning my attention the Axton I see him gazing at Nova with an unreadable expression on his face, turning to me he looks at me before speaking, “could I request a few minutes alone to speak to Nova please Alpha Jax?” Looking at Nova I see her nod slightly before she links me, “I’ll be fine. Wait outside the door for me.”
“Of course Alpha Axton, I’ll be outside.”
Turning to leave I head out before leaning on the door letting a sigh escape me as I
think back through this mornings events.
Turning my attention to the quiet conversation from within the room I wait patiently
as I listen.
“Nova I know what I did was wrong but I would like to apologise for my actions in the last few days of your time within my pack” Axton says his voice breaking slightly.
“Thank you Axton, I accept your apology” I hear Nova say emotionlessly.
“Rose is..a unique individual” I hear Axton start earning a scoff from Nova.
“Well she must strengthen you in one way” Nova mutters, “I suppose that must be why you hid in our bedroom with her for days as I struggled in pain.”
Hearing a loud groan from Axton at her words I can imagine the grimace on his face, “that was wrong and I wish I could go back to change things. I wish I hadn’t marked

her I truly do, you were perfect for me Nova and I will never get over losing you. She’s
not like you, in all aspects and I miss you.”
“I’m going to stop you there Axton, that is your future Luna you are speaking about. You have marked her already, it may have been too soon but that is something you have done and are going to have to learn to deal with.” Nova interjects fiercely.
“But what if I end the mateship Nova, is there no chance for us?”Axton asks desperately making me gulp air in in panic.
