Guardian Wolf

Chapter 26

Revelations

Jax POV:

Hearing a gasp escape Nova as her eyes fill with pain I quickly step forward and bring her back against

my chest and Luca grasps her hand.

“My grandmother?” She whispered looking at the older lady with horror.

Her father grimaces and tugs at his hair in frustration, “f**k” he growls before turning

and storming outside.

“Let’s get out of here” I whisper to Nova pulling her from the room with everyone following close behind.

“That’s your grandmother?” Axton asks gently as we meet her father who is pacing in

anger.

“Yes” Kingsley answers for her, “sh itting hell it’s been 20 years since I’ve seen her.”

“20?” Nova asks sharply.

“Can we speak privately Nova? Alpha Jax and Beta Luca can join us” he says

nervously.

Nodding the others step back and walk back towards the house to give us our

privacy.

Sighing Kingsley sits down on the grass motioning for us to join him.

“I haven’t told you everything that has happened Nova” he says with a pained expression. “Before I tell

you I ask you to please be understanding with why I didn’t.

mention it earlier.”

“Ok..” Nova say apprehensively her hand growing clammy in mine..

“I was found by your grandparents 3 years after you’d gone missing. He managed to

sedate me and he kept me caged like an animal for over a year. In that time..” he ran

his hand through his hair once again and growled at the memory, “in that time he drugged me with an

aphrodisiac basically bringing on a heat for a male wolf. He left me in a cage with a female also in heat

that he’d captured for this exact purpose..it

was inevitable. I couldn’t think straight I wasn’t in my right mind and neither was she.

Revelations

She ended up being pregnant and we had a pup. She’s called Sophie” he says quietly

at the end.

Gasping Nova covers her mouth in shock, “I have a sister?”

“Yes” he whispers, “she turned 20 three weeks ago.”

“Is her mother your mate?” She asks her hands trembling in my own.

He vehemently shakes his head at that, “no. Her mother was killed by the hunters 2

months after Sophie was born. But even before then we were two wolves going through something

together, but we weren’t together. There was no love, no romantic feelings between us just a beautiful

baby girl and a shared experience. For her I will always be glad I have Sophie though I will say that and

because of her I was able to

escape with Sophie, and I have kept her safe ever since.”

I see her take a moment to process that information before she looks at him as a tear

drops down his face, “I understand why you didn’t tell me dad. But I want to make it

clear I don’t blame you. You were drugged, I can see the love you had for my mother

was strong and I’m glad that Sophie is safe. It would be lovely to meet her.”

Hearing that his face brightens, “you’re a true Luna darling. You are rational and

understanding and I am incredibly proud to call you my daughter.”

“Does she know about Nova? I ask quietly.

“Yes. She’s known about you her entire life, she knows everything. She also misses

her mother so it is something the both of you share. But I have never lied to her, she

wanted to come to meet you but I couldn’t bring myself to tell you about her because

I didn’t want you to think I betrayed your mothers memory” Kingsley says to Nova.

With a sigh she looks to the sky, “you didn’t betray my mothers memory. Even if you

hadn’t had Sophie there is no guarantee you wouldn’t have found you second chance

mate. If you had found her I would have wanted you to be happy and to consider having a family with

her.”

“Thank you Nova” he says quietly.

We all sit for a moment enjoying the suns warmth before I see Luca stiffen.

“You ok Luca?” I aşk.

Revelations

He looks at me with an unreadable expression before straightening, “sir can I ask you a question?” He

addresses Kingsley.

“I’m just Kingsley to you son” he says, “of course you can.”

“What was the purpose of the hunters ensuring you had another pup?” Luca probes.

“Honestly I have no idea” Kingsley shrugs, “I have thought about it over the years and all I can think is

they wanted to hurt me and take her away from me to show me the

pain they perhaps suffered by their daughter choosing me over them.”

“Hmm” Luca hums.

“What’s on your mind?” Kingsley asks curiously.

“Have you seen Novas mums b*dy?” He asks nervously.

“No..” Kingsley replies hesitantly.

Was

“Please don’t take this the wrong way but the person who would suffer the most from

you having a child with another is Novas mum. I don’t want to put this theory forward

but I feel like I have to. What if she wasn’t dead at that point? What if she

captured by the hunters and kept captive, then when they caught you and drugged

you she would have suffered the mates betrayal pains even if she was a human. After being marked

she would feel it. What if they did that to make her suffer for her

betrayal to them?”

With that Kingsleys face drains of colour, “no no no..NO” he shouts standing up,”

what have I done?”

Nova quickly stands bringing him into a hug, “shushhh dad it’s ok. It was out of your

control and it is just a theory.”

After a few minutes he whispers against her head, “what if she truly was alive and I

broke her?”

Stepping back she holds his face up to look her in the eye, “don’t ever think that. We

need to find out answers about my mother before we go further, but either way If my mother was

anything like me she will have understood.”

“I’m sorry Kingsley I never meant for you to feel bad” Luca says apologetically from

beside me.

Revelations

“You have nothing to apologise for, I can’t believe i didn’t consider that before. They said they would kill

her Nova, I have felt nothing in our bond since the last time I saw you both. Nothing” he exclaims. “She

must be dead” he mumbles to himself.

“We don’t know how long they kept her alive for Kingsley. Focus on the present, you have Nova back” I

comfort him.

Kingsley looks at Luca taking him in before allowing a small smile to grace his features, “Nova is

extremely lucky to have a brother such as you. I’d like to extend my apologies for how my mateship has

affected your life and that of your parents. I can never express my thanks to them for how they brought

Nova up but I can say it to you. So thank you Beta, you are a credit to your parents, and I apologise for

what happened to them.”

Seeing Lucas face soften I can see him biting his cheek to stop emotion from

showing, “you don’t always have to be strong Luca. It’s ok to feel emotion.” I murmur

to him grasping his shoulder. He simply nods in response not trusting his voice.

After a few more moments I stand and hold my hand up to help Nova up. “Why don’t we go inside? It’s

been a long day and I’m sure everyone is hungry.”

“Yes dinner is almost ready for us all so let’s all head back” Luca adds as his eyes.

glaze over showing he’s been mind-linked.

“Can we keep this extra information between ourselves for now? I don’t trust Rose

and I don’t want to fuel her for any more unnecessary comments to anyone” Noval

says quietly.

“I think that’s a good idea” Luca replies with a closed off look on his face. “I’m struggling with her” he

admits before holding the pack house door open for everyone.

“I wonder why” I comment sarcastically making him let out a loud laugh.

“Is everyb*dy ready for dinner?” Axtons deep voice asks as he comes round the

corner in front of us.

“I’m always ready for food” Nova comments practically dragging me to the dining room. Walking in I

see a table set up similarly to when we had lunch earlier.

“Hi Boss, everything ok?” Laurence asks standing to meet us.

“Yes all good” I assure him before linking him, “Nova said she will fill you in after

Revelations

dinner.”

He nods slightly to show he understands and then steps back holding a chair out and gesturing Nova to

sit. “Thank you Laurence” she says graciously just as Rose and

Axton walk in.

I take a seat next to Nova as they sit opposite, Rose pausing to see if Axton will hold the chair for her

but he sits down without sparing her a glance making her eyes turn cold.

As the food is brought out everyone chats amongst themselves with Axton and Rose

making the odd comment here and there. As dessert with teas and coffees are

brought out I hear Nova chuckle, “did you have Millie bake for me?” She asks Luca.

“I did” Axton interjects smoothly, “I know you love her baking and she was happy to hear you’d be back

for the night.”

Seeing a look of surprise cross Novas face before she smiles slightly at him I tighten the hold on my

fork, “calm Mr, you’re the only man for me” she links me before

replying to Axton saying “thank you, that’s very kind of you.”

“Why haven’t you done that for me?” Rose asks taken aback.

“You told me you would never consider eating desserts as you don’t want to be fat”

he points out flatly as he tucks into his pudding, “why would I request them make a

dessert you wouldn’t eat. You’ve eaten the mains I requested for you.”

“Oh..yes I suppose that’s right” she says lightly trying to brush it off.

After a few minutes I see Axton put his fork down before sitting back breathing

deeply, looking up I see his eyes are fixed in Nova and they are completely dark. With

a growl he tears his attention away from Nova before looking at Rose, “what did you

do?”

If I didn’t know what she was like by now I would believe her surprised reaction and

her little gasp as she looks at him, “I haven’t done anything” she cries softly.

“Rose, tell me or I’ll command it” he threatens.

“What’s wrong man?” Luca asks confused.

Axton ignores him and continues trying to control his breathing, “she’s drugged you

Revelations

hasn’t she” Nova says quietly studying his face.

With a tight nod he growls again before leaning towards Rose with clenched teeth,” tell me what you’ve

done to me” he commands.

Seeing her shake as she tries to avoid the comment she soon gives in, “I gave you an aphrodisiac” she

whispers.

“WHAT” he roars, “why Rose?” He commands once more.

“To show you that only I can make you feel the way you do. You don’t need her” she

spits at Nova making her growl slightly in response, “I wanted to show her how good I

can make you feel. And I can make you feel good baby can’t I” she whispers

seductively running her hand down his chest before he grabs it and slings it away forcefully with a

snarl.

“You disgust me” he says breathing heavier as his eyes flicker between those of his

and his wolf. “This isn’t the first time is it” he commands finally.

“N..n..no. I do it everytime w..we fight. I m..make you a cup o..of t..tea and then we

I

end up f..f ucking for hours” she stutters out her face flaming red with

embarrassment at being outed.

“You f*****g b***h, that’s why I couldn’t sense Novas pain before I marked her. The

first time I was so upset I’d succumbed to the mating bond I promised you it would never happen again

until I had followed the correct laws to keep Nova safe. YOU forced me to continue sleeping with you,

for DAYS” he roars at her.

Nova gasps hearing that information and her cold gaze turns to Rose, “you b***h” she

snarls.

“You messed up tonight Rose, you thought this would make me want you when the person I actually

love is sat opposite. If it wasn’t for the fact her mate is right next to her and I know she is no longer

mine plus the fact that I don’t EVER want to hurt her again I would be giving her my attention right now

but Rex and I respect her far too much to be swayed by this aphrodisiac” he growls. “Luca take her

away..to the cells”

he adds on coldly.

“I did it because I love you and I couldn’t bear fighting for your attention” she cries.

“You should have trusted me” he says quietly before looking at Luca and pointing to

the door.

A smile appears on Lucas face hearing those words, “with pleasure.”

“You might want to think of Alpha Jax” Rose taunts.

“Excuse me?” I ask bewildered.

She breaks from Lucas arms and jumps on me straddling my waist before there is a loud growl and

Nova has thrown her against the far wall her eyes that of Kia’s. “You drugged my mate?” She snarls.

“His mug” Rose smirks off of the floor, “he’ll come for me later, I even had a spell performed on it where

he will only be able to imagine me.”

“Nova love I haven’t even touched my mug” I call softly.

“Good” she snarls as I stand up to join her.

“Unfortunately for you Rose, even a spell wouldn’t sway my eyes from Nova, she is my goddess..my

mate..my other half. You..are nothing” I say coldly kicking her away.

“You’re coming with me” Luca snarls yanking her up from the floor and dragging her

behind him.

Breathing hard Axton looks at Nova in pain before glancing around the table, “if you’d excuse me I

need to get the antidote.”

“Go..thank you Alpha Axton” I say making sure he heard my gratitude at his restraint

as he storms out the room.

After a few moments Nova shakes herself off before turning to me, “you said the sweetest things then NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

you know” she giggles.

“If this is the drama involved in your life Nova then how the hell do you look so good, I’d have aged 10

years in the past few days events alone” Kingsley jokes bemused by

the situation.

“Tell me about it” Nova replies chuckling, “I’m going to head to bed everyone, I’m exhausted. I’ll see

you for breakfast.”

“Good night everyone, Laurence, Theo and Alice meet us outside at 7:30am. We will fill you all in then.”

say nodding as we leave to head upstairs.
