Guardian Wolf

Chapter 71

Exposed

Jax POV:

Watching Nova command the attention of everyone in the room has my b*dy filling

with pride at her show of strength.

“She’s making everyone aware of her” I hear Luca mutter from beside me with worry.

“Why should she hide?” I ask quietly.

“She will become a target” he says.

“She told Elder Martin and myself she was done being disrespected and allowing

people to walk over her. She’s not hiding anymore” I reply softly as he looks at me

with wide eyes.

“Is she telling everyone?” He asks panicked.

“No..I don’t think so. But I don’t know, it’s up to her now. She is unbelievably annoyed I

can feel it, but I imagine she didn’t release her aura fully for a reason” I shrug before

turning my attention back to Nova.

Seeing the men dragged back to their seats I smirk towards them as they drop their gazes to the floor

ashamed.

“Nova, I think that was needed don’t you” Elder Martin says as he looks at the two

men pointedly.

“A few years over due” she mutters before taking a breath and looking at Elder Martin

as he resumes his questions.

“Returning to the events that took place can I ask why you wanted the clause included to involve

training the Luna that would take your place?” He asks.

“Because I wanted the pack to continue to thrive in my leave. I didn’t work my as s off to put it bluntly

for years alongside Axton for the pack to fall with the new Luna” she says. “I had personal reasons, for

example as people are aware my brother Luca is the Beta, but I also wanted the people there to

continue to live in happiness and security.”

“Did Rose accept the training?” Elder Martin asks.

“Well as I’m sure it can be confirmed, she didn’t. I believe she attended a couple of sessions maybe 3

but she told us directly to our face that she didn’t want to be preened to act as Axtons previous lover”

she says with a wince. “I made the point that I hoped I was considered more than that to Axton and that

she should take up my arrangements as it would only benefit her.”

After a few seconds silence she spoke up, “can I have permission to speak my mind about something?”

“Go ahead” Martin gestures.

“In the time I saw Rose she was always dressed in the newest designer clothes and preened to

perfection. You couldn’t fault her appearance apart from maybe a slight lack of class. I know the

financial situation of the pack when I left and I also know from her spending the effect it will have Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

had..that is no way a Luna behaves and it’s one of the reasons I ensured the clause was included” she

says calmly. “In my time as Luna i never got my hair done professionally, I never wasted money on

other companies unless required when our pack members could do just as good a job, I never wore the

most up to date fashion unless Axton got me a gift which he rarely did

as he knew I would scold him.”

With that Axton chuckles as he nods his head in agreement, “I put the pack before

myself continuously and I never once complained, why waste money when there was

everything we needed right there within the pack. From what I know and saw of Rose

I cannot say it was the same for her.”

“I am glad you brought that up..with the consent of Alpha Axton I am going to

disclose how much money Rose spent directly on herself and her friends. In less than

3 weeks Rose spent £1.6 million dollars on herself” Martin says as he holds a

financial document in the air.

“What?” I gasp turning to look at Luca who is gritting his teeth in anger.

“Now you know another reason for my displeasure towards her” he snarls quietly.

“That’s absolutely ludicrous of a Luna” Nova says in shock as everyb*dy within the

room begins to talk amongst themselves again.

“Luna Nova we are done for now. There may be questions later” Martin says as he

smiles at Nova.

“Thank you Elder Martin” she says graciously bowing her head in respect

As she makes her way towards us I smile at her proud “that’s my Luna” I whisper to her as she winks at

me before taking her seat

“I was fed up with those S**ist excuse of men she mutters rolling her eves and pointing to Jacob and

his Beta.

“Now if everyone can be quiet it is time we speak to Rose Brown Martin says as my eyes flicker to her

where she sits looking apprehensive

“Come and sit before me” he says gesturing for the guards to move her to the booth.

“Now Rose, first I would like to ask you if what Alpha Axton and Luna Nova have said

is true?” Martin asks.

“It is not true” she says quietly

“You deny the accusations?” He checks.

“I deny them” she says simply.

“Ok. We have a truth serum here concocted by Elder Anthony who unfortunately

cannot attend due to a private matter” Martin says throwing Nova and myself a quick

glance.

The guards quickly administer the serum as Rose doesn’t fight. “She was quite

compliant” I hear Nova observe.

“She thinks she won’t have to tell the truth” I chuckle softly.

“As this is the first trial using the serum I will also be commanding you Rose” Elder

Martin says as she nods her head slowly her eyes opening slightly in surprise.

“To begin, I will once again ask you if the accusations made by both Alpha Axton and Luna Nova are

true?” Martin commands with raised brows as his aura is released.

Submitting she immediately responds “they are true” to which the room is filled with shocked gasps as I

notice Jacob look at her in panic.

“So you lied when you denied the charges?” Martin confirms.

“Yes I lied” Rose says as horror fills her features. Seeing her gaze flicker to Frost who has shifted

forward in his chair I whisper to Nova “look at Frost.”

“He was expecting something different” she agrees before I see her eyes glaze over and then Martins

gaze shift to Frost.

“Martin knows” Nova says simply.

“Why did you want to cause harm to Nova?” Martin asks Rose.

“At the request of my father, I met Axton once before at an Alpha ball and I have. always liked him. We

found a way to break Axton and Novas matebond and we planned for Axton to be with myself and

Nova to be with my father” she says with tears streaming down her face.

“How?” Martin commands coldly.

“We had the help of a witch, with the help of an Omega we managed to have Axton

digest a serum which would give the effects of a matebond with another who had the

serum, that being myself. I visited the pack under the pretence of finding my mate” she whispers.

With a snarl Axton surges to his feet angrily before Martin gestures for him to calm

down.

“We are getting answers Alpha” Martin says quietly, “stay calm.”

Taking a breath he nods and sits back down, “apologies” he says through gritted

teeth.

“Why was your father so focused on having Nova as a mate?” Martin asks.

“After her rejection he had a spy watching Nova during her time as Luna, he saw how

successful she was but he also saw her wolf” with that Nova gasps as she looks at

Luca with worry as Jacob begins to grin. “It was then that he said one way or another

he would have her.”

“How did you get hold of the serum?” Martin follows.

As Roses b*dy shakes with the force of his command her tears splash on the surface

of the table as she replies quickly, “we had a couple of people approach us saying

they knew a way to break the bond between Axton and Nova and would be willing to

do so for a price.”

“The price being?” Martin asks.

“They got to meet Nova” Rose says making me frown with confusion.

“Only meet you?” I ask surprised.

“I have a bad feeling” she growls.

“Who approached you?” Martin asks.

“A witch and another man” she gulps.

“This has gone off of topic” Frost hastily interjects.

“I believe this is very relevant Elder Frost” Martin replies coldly. “Sit down.”

“Rose don’t say anymore” Jacob growls as he sits panicking.

Nova suddenly surges to her feet as she is glaring at Frost across the room, she swiftly makes her way

down whilst I hastily follow. “Don’t say a word Alpha Jacob” she commands making his mouth close.

“You know more than you’re letting on Frost” she growls as she comes to a halt in

front of him.

“I scent fear and deceit from you” she whispers as she c***s her head intimidatingly.

“f**k you” he spits only making her grin.

“Are you working with the hunters” she suddenly commands as the room falls silent around the release

of her aura.

He tries to fight her command only for her aura to increase, “y..yes.”

“You f*****g traitor” Nova snarls before grasping his hair and slamming him to the ground in front of her.

Placing her foot on his throat she looks to Martin, “they’re all in it together.”
