Guardian Wolf

Chapter 38

Shock

Nova POV:

As I stand to one side looking around the party I can’t help the smile that’s plastered

on my face as I look at those I’ve grown to love enjoy themselves.

“You look happy” I hear Mila comment as she comes to stand beside me.

“My adopted brother found his mate in my biological sister, he’s been waiting for

many years so I’m over the moon for him. Plus this is a great party, it’s lovely to relax. and spend time

with everyone” I grin turning to look at her.

Raising her wine glass to clink mine she winks, “the alcohol is a bonus.”

“Definitely” I laugh.

“It was nice to see you stick up against my father earlier” she says turning round to

look around the party again..

“I understand where he’s coming from, it wasn’t upsetting so I’m not offended. I know what it means to

look out for family and that’s what he was doing, but I’m glad he knows I’ll speak up for myself” I shrug

casually.

“Oh he’s aware alright” she smirks, “he’s a great father and was a brilliant Alpha.”

“I have no doubt about that” I assure her.

“But as you’re probably aware Alphas like to be in control. Handing the reigns over to

Jax was hard on him, he lost the feeling of being in charge and knowing everything

going on” she continues, “Jax has always made sure to keep my parents in the loop.

They have the right to know as the previous Alpha and Luna and my father knows Jax

is a brilliant Alpha himself. There are just times, such as now, where he knows there

is more going on and his Alpha mindset is pushing him to find out.”

“Trust me I understand Mila. I’m grateful to you all for being understanding and not

pushing me to say more, please know that in time I will. But before I do Jax and I

need to find out some more information” I start explaining.

Mila quickly grasps my arm making me look at her, “Nova you don’t need to explain.

Even from the very short time I’ve known you I can sense the kind of woman you are,

and Jax is lucky to have you. We have faith in you both and just know that when your

are ready to talk..we’re here.”

“Thank you Mila” I say softly.

“So your brother has found his mate?” She asks.

“He has” I smile.

“Well I have to say congratulations, although that’s now one more hotty I can’t admire

anymore” she smirks.

“Pfft do not let Luca hear you say that, I swear all the men around here have no issues

with their huge egos” I chuckle as she joins in.

“So you have a mate Mila?” I ask.

“I do, he’s Alpha Bruno of the Deep Forest Pack” she says with an odd look in her eye. Seeing she has

no mark on her neck I wait to see if she has more to say. “He didn’t

want me” she murmurs.

“He rejected you?” I ask shocked.

Grimacing she gulps her wine down, “oh no. He had a chosen mate, one he had been. with for 4 years

from the end of school. Her mate died two days after they met in suspicious circumstances. He wanted

to keep us both” she growls.

“What?” I ask horrified.

“I know” she rolls her eyes, “I uttered my end of the rejection when he demanded I become a mistress

to ensure he has a strong heir but he would mark his chosen Lunal

but he has yet to accept it.”

“Da mn..” I tra

off.

“I was broken for a while but now I’m just glad we were never marked although I’m

not sure he would have even considered it. I don’t think I’m strong enough to deal with the betrayal like

my brother had to” she shrugs. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“Hurts like hell” i grimace at the memories.

“Oh Nova, I’m so sorry” she says twirling to face me.

“Don’t be” I wave off, “so what are you going to do if you don’t mind me asking?”

Shock

“He has a month left, that’s what Jax gave him. If he doesn’t accept the rejection by

then we will contact the council” she says with confidence.

“I assume because you rejected him you don’t feel him with another as strongly?” I

ask intrigued

“I do, but it’s minimal. When I rejected him our bond was massively weakened, then with the distance

between us it’s only grown fainter. But I can still sense it, Alia my wolf felt sorry for his wolf as he was

against Bruno’s love for his chosen mate but he also understands why we cannot stay with him. Now

Alia takes the pain whenever we experience any as she says she wants to, to remind herself that our

fated mate does

not respect us” she explains.

“Wow..Alia is amazing then” I compliment.

“I couldn’t ask for a better wolf” she smiles.

“I’m

sorry you had to go through that Mila” I say quietly.

“So am I, but what’s done is done. I hope to be granted a second choice mate, goddess knows my first

was not worth me” she laughs. “I’ve been staying at our cousins pack who is joining us later but after

next week I’ll be back here.”

“Well im here if you ever need someone to talk to” I offer.

“Thank you Nova, I’d like that” she says giving me a hug.

Hearing raised voices I see my father and David involved in a heated debate.

“Oh goddess what now” I groan, “can we ladies not enjoy our wine in peace.” With a slight chuckle from

Mila we head over to them.

“What’s going on here?” I ask loudly interrupting the men

“David has an opinion on rogues, which I understand why. He asked what I do

differently and I explained however I don’t think I’ve filled him with confidence” my

father grimaces at me with an apologetic look in eye.

“Where’s Sophie?” I ask calmly as I see the anger in David’s eyes.

“Luca took her for a walk” Jax says as he stands beside me.

“Ok, right you two with me…now” I growl before turning on my feet and storming into

Shock

the packhouse.

Entering the lounge I gesture to the sofa “sit.”

“I do not appreciate being told what to do Nova” David warns me as he takes a seat..

I

“And I do not appreciate your attitude at a celebration. It is my birthday, the pack is celebrating having a

new Luna and my adopted brother and biological sister have found out they are mates. This negative

discussion is not necessary and I’m going to clear it up…immediately” I tell him my eyes flashing with

that of Kia’s.

“I’m sorry lay

I know he’s your father but until he knows more this is going to be a problem” I say turning to look at

Jax with an apologetic look in my eyes.

“Nova don’t apologise, I already warned my father but he hasn’t listened” he says throwing a dirty

glance in his fathers direction.

Turning to speak to my father and Jaxs I harden my gaze. “My father is a man who has suffered greatly

in the years we have been separated. What I am about to tell your needs to be kept between

ourselves. It is not public knowledge as of yet and until we have met with the council we don’t know

what is going to happen.” I start.

“Your father is the Rogue King” David starts in anger.

With a loud growl Kia pushes to the forefront and my aura releases causing everyone, including my

father, to bow their necks in submission.

“Our father is a strong man, a good man. I strongly advise you listen to Nova” she growls to David who

is looking up at us in shock.

“W…what?” He stutters out as he realises the power behind us.

I

“I’m sorry David, I truly am. I wish for nothing more than a nice relationship between my mates father

and myself. But until you put your alpha pride to one side that is going to be a struggle.

Taking a deep breath and reigning my aura in I feel Jaxs hand land on my shoulder showing his

support. “Let me start again. My mother, my fathers mate was a human. Her parents were hunters who

have done nothing but cause harm to her and our family. They came after my parents very shortly after

I was born where my parents. had to separate. To protect me my mother made the heartbreaking

decision to leave. me with my brother Lucas family, I was 3 weeks old. My mother to our knowledge.

sacrificed herself to protect me, my father could not join any pack and had to live life

as a rogue to this day ever since attempting to lead the hunters away from my mother and myself. He

has become the rogue King, ensuring there is order between the rogues that are in the rogue pack,

tracking those who are turning feral and bettering those who are part of his pack. When looking for me

he approached packs peacefully and showed no violence as Jax can confirm.” Seeing David look at me

dubiously I

shake my head.

“There is something you need to know about us David, let me ask you. What is your history on myths?”

“It’s an interest of mine” he admits slowly looking at me in confusion.

“Father would you mind?” I ask gesturing to the large space to the side of me.

“I’d be happy to” he snarls at David offended by the attitude the latter has shown him.

He quickly strips off his clothes and immediately his magnificent wolf is standing

before us. “Hello” I whisper as I go to stroke his neck as he huffs in greeting.

“My father is a Guardian Wolf David, are you familiar with those?” I ask sharply as

turn to see his shocked face.

“Y..yes” I stutters out.

“So you must know that for my father to be a Guardian Wolf he has a good heart.

Everyone around him is a priority and he would give his life to protect them” I say

I

fiercely.

“They’re real” David murmurs in awe.

I

Stepping back I look at Jax who nods his head slowly. I turn and strip before shifting seamlessly into

Kia, hearing David gasp in shock we pad over to him quietly before sitting directly in front of him.

“Perhaps now you will know that our love for Jax and Zeus is genuine. Guardian wolves cannot find

their mates until they are 25 which I’m sure Nova would be happy to explain more on if you gave her

the chance. If Jax dies..we die. We will do anything within our power to protect those around us and

better this pack. Do not ever doubt us again” Kia warns him.

“You can link me?” David asks in shock.

Shock

“I can link anyone” she huffs before shifting back. I quickly dress behind Jaxs broad figure as my father

does the same in the corner,

“Ki has grown” Jax tells me with pride shining in his eyes. “Let’s go for a run later,

Zeus is desperate.” Grinning at him i nod in agreement.

Turning to see David staring at me in shock I step forward and sit down beside him. “I know this is a

shock, however I hope that now you know..I would never harm or deceive your son or anyone here. My

father is loyal, trust worthy and kind. We will fight ferociously to protect those we love and to right any

wrongs.”

“Pa.. Nova is my soul mate, my other half. Kingsley is her father, we are family” Jax

says as he comes to stand before us.

After a moments silence David schools his features and turns to face me, “Nova I cannot apologise

enough. I had no idea and I should have had more faith in Jax. I should have respected today of all

days. Please accept my sincere apologies for my

distrust and the attitude I have shown you and your father. I promise from now I will

trust you both.”

Turning to face my dad he stands and offers his hand for a firm shake, “it’s an honour to meet a

Guardian wolf. I hope you can put my initial comments to one side and we

can move past this.”

“Of course” my father murmurs before turning to speak to me.

“Thank you Nova, that could have ended very differently” he says.

“I want no more fighting, after everything we have gone through I want to enjoy the

rest of today” I say firmly to everyone.

“I second my Luna” Jax says before turning and offering his hand, “shall we go

dance?” He asks with a smile.

“Let’s” I grin at him putting the drama behind me once again.
