Guardian Wolf

Rogue King Nova POV: Looking in the mirror I try to relax and calm my fast beating heart, the nerves I’d tried to ignore all morning are increasing as I know my father will be arriving soon. Nodding in approval at how my cream dress fits my boobs and waist perfectly before loosening into a short flowing sun dress, I glance at my shiny dark hair and admire the loose waves. “You look beautiful Nova” I hear Jax say huskily before his large hands grip my waist as he steps behind me. Looking up at him in the mirror I offer him a small smile of thanks. Sensing my nerves he drops his head leaving me a lingering k*ss on my neck, “I’ll be right next to you love and Kia is with you always. Don’t worry” he comforts me. Turning round I give him a chaste k*ss before breathing in his scent deeply which immediately calms my racing heart, looking up with resilience I walk towards the door as I say “ok let’s do this.” As we head downstairs I can hear murmured conversation coming from the smaller dining room we will be using for our lunch. Opening the door I immediately meet the bright blue eyes of my father as he stands eagerly to meet me. “Nova..” he breaths his nerves also showing, “you look gorgeous..just like your mother.” Hearing that I feel butterflies as it’s the first mention I’ve ever had as to what my mother looked like. “I look like her?” I ask quietly. He nods before gathering himself to reply, “you look exactly like her, but you have my eyes. “Do you have any photos?” I inquire nervously. “I actually brought you some for you to keep if you would like them” he says offering me a small envelope.

Taking it I look down at the envelope for a moment before opening it and pulling out the first photo slowly. Looking at it brings fresh tears to my eyes as my fingers shake slightly. Jax brings his hand round to cradle mine holding the picture lending me his ||| Rogue King strength. In the photo is a man who is clearly my father, he’s younger with tanned skin and thick hair, his eyes shining brightly looking into the camera with a large smile across his face, his dimples more prominent than now. My eyes shift to the lady stood tucked into his side and I gasp slightly, she is the mirror image of myself with the only difference being her hazel eyes which look almost golden with the sun. shining on them as it is in the picture. Her hair is waist length and wavey just like. mine, she has large eyes framed by thick lashes and her mouth is open in a large smile showing her perfectly straight teeth. In her arms is a newborn baby, wrapped in a blanket as she is sleeping peacefully. с опе “That’s the day we brought you home, you were only a day old at that point. It was of the happiest days of my life” my dad murmured as he came to stand in-front of me gazing down at the photo. Holding the photo against my chest I smile through my tears, “this means a lot..thank

you.” As we take a seat and Laurence pours us all a refreshing drink i glance at Jax seeing his eyes trained on me already. “I’m here” he links me. I take a deep breath and turn to look at my dad, “is there anything you would like to ask me?” I start. With that he lets out a deep breath I didn’t realise he’d been holding. “So much Nova..so much so that I’m not sure where to even begin” he starts. “I can start from the beginning if it helps” I say with some amusement. Seeing hist eyes wrinkle as he chuckles he nods, “I think that’s a good idea.” “Well I was left on my parents doorstep when I was 3 weeks old, there was a letter left with me telling

them my date of birth and saying that for the life I would have my parents couldn’t provide me with the security and love that I deserved” as I said that I saw pain flit across his features as his eyes closed at the memory. Reaching my hand. across the table I grasp his before continuing, “my parents immediately took me in, they already had a son called Luca who was 2 years old. Due to complications with his birth they couldn’t have anymore children so they saw me as a blessing. I was cared for and loved by them and my brother. You met him yesterday..he is the Beta of the White Mountain Pack, we are incredibly close. I first shifted when I was aged 8, 2/7 Rogue King protecting Luca from a Rogue attack, I finished high school by the age of 15 and I went on to train with the Elite Warriors at the training academy. During that time i resided with the Red Moon Pack, there I met Theo and Flo- Alpha Jaxs Gam mas. I rescued them from a group of rogues as they had fled their pack when it was attacked, they were only 12. I took them in and got them back into school when I found out their pack had been destroyed, after a couple of years the council contacted me saying there was an imminent threat and I had to leave immediately. I went to the White Mountain Pack where I agreed to become Alpha Axtons chosen mate, I helped the pack regain its strength and improve its finances, and now I’m here” I end rather vaguely. “I sense that something happened?” My father probes. “As you may have noticed Alpha Axton has a new Luna, he found her during a recent meeting where I was visiting Novas pack” Jax informs him, “he unfortunately didn’t follow the mateship laws and marked Luna Rose whilst causing Nova to suffer through the pain of his betrayal. I offered her a place in my pack when she had recovered.” Hearing that harm had come to his daughter my father growled softly as his eyes brightened showing the presence of his wolf, after a moment he gains back control and offers a sheepish smile. “I apologise, hearing you’ve been through pain like that is making me feel rather protective of you”

Offering him a small smile I reply, “it’s understandable. Although I’m not happy with how Axton conducted himself I am happy to have ended up here.” With that Jax squeezes my shoulder whilst offering me his kilowatt smile making me blush as Laurence smirks beside him. My father watches the small exchange as a smile breaks out across his face, “you two are mates” he says confidently. Hearing that my smile falters slightly, “I’m not sure..my birthday is on the weekend. We will know for sure then.” My father chuckled before leaning forwards, “do you have sparks when you touch?” He asks, I nod in answer. “Is his scent growing stronger and vice versa?” He asks again as we both nod. “Beta what does Nova smell like to you?” My father asks Laurence. ||| 3/7 Ron King “Like citrus fruit, orange and grapefruit. It’s refreshing and I find it almost comforting” he adds on quietly making me turn my head to him in confusion. “And what does she smell like to you Alpha?” My dads asks a smile playing on his lips. “Raspberry and mint..my favourite summer drink” he says confidently. “You’re mates” my dad stated grinning at our shocked expressions. “Seriously?” I whisper. “Your Beta here finds your strength comforting as will anyone within this pack as you are its rightful Luna, your scent will grow stronger to Alpha Jax as it nears your birthday as will his to you, I’m sure you’ve noticed your sparks will have increased in intensity the more time you spend together. You also will tend to gravitate towards each other unconsciously..I already had a feeling yesterday but now I am certain that you two are mates. I met your mother 2 days before my 25th birthday and I experienced the same as you” he finishes confidently. Gasping I turn to look at Jax who is smiling widely, leaning down he presses a gentle k*ss to my mouth

before whispering “well thank f**k for that.” Bursting out laughing I shake my head at his reaction, “so polite” I giggle rolling my eyes at him. He simply shrugs smugly before grinning at Laurence, “we have a Luna.” “I’ve considered her my Luna since she arrived mate, I just held back my thoughts as ! didn’t want to put added pressure on you both” Laurence says just as smugly causing Jax and I to drop our jaws in shock. “The whole pack has actually” he says innocently. “Oh” was all I could muster making my father and Laurence laugh at my shocked expression. “Congratulations sweetheart, he’s a good man I can tell” my father offers me graciously. “Thanks dad..” I softly murmur to him. “Can I ask if I could meet your parents? I would be most thankful if I could express my gratitude at how you were looked after and brought up” my father then says hesitantly causing my breath to hitch slightly. Seeing this my fathers eyes widen, “oh..no Nova, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to say [1] < 4/7 Rogue King anything wrong.” I shake my head at him, “you didn’t don’t worry.” Taking a few controlled breaths I continue, “my parents were unfortunately killed a year and a half ago.” “How?” My father asked slowly. “By hunters” I whisper as the pain from the memory hits me hard. Hearing that my father shoots off of his chair, “hunters? Which hunters?” “I don’t know..why?” I ask quickly. “What if they’ve found you” he gasps holding his head in his hands.

“My grandparents?” I whisper. “Do you have no idea who they were Nova?” My father checks. I shake my head slowly, “no but..” I start before pausing. “Well one of the hunters was hurt when they attacked, they were going to be killed but I had a gut feeling that was the wrong thing to do. So i transferred her to a hospital and she has been in a coma ever since. I hoped one day she will wake and be able to give us some answers” I explain feeling my voice shake slightly. “I need to see her” my father says quickly. “I can speak to Luca about arranging a visit if it would be suitable?” Jax mentions. My father nods his agreement before Jax looks at Laurence gesturing outside, “on it Boss” Laurence says before striding out and upstairs to the office. My father shakily sits back down, “I’m sorry for what you’ve been through Nova. Is there anything you’d like to ask me?” “My mother..what happened to her?” I ask bluntly. “I don’t know” he whispers pain making his voice thick, “I never saw or heard from her again. I assume she was killed. I got told that when you mate to a human it is different though so until I find a new mate my bond will still be there just weak. I’ve searched for your mother and you everywhere over the last 24 years.” I nod my head as I had already assumed as much. “So you’re a Beta of the Rogue. pack?” I ask. 5/7 Rague King “Ah..about that. I’m not actually the Beta..I’m the Rogue King” he answers. I gasp in shock as I look at him, “what..how?” “2 years ago I had had enough of being a roaming rogue, I felt like I needed family..friends, a sense of belonging. I knew no pack could safely take me in and as I wasn’t sure of the dangers the hunters could still bring I knew I would have to stay a rogue. One day INôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

met the former Rogue King..he was a monster. He killed, raped, beat men, women and children. I killed him when he fought me after I’d rejected becoming part of his army and became the new Rogue King by right” he informs me, “from there I made significant changes. No more violence unless called for, no harm to others. unless a named enemy. My pack runs just like any, there are positions and job roles and everyone does their fair share. I told you yesterday about the oath I make everyone utter with the pack witch, this was to bring order to them and I have to say so far it has been highly successful.” “That’s incredible” Jax says admirably. “Thank you son my father says, “I apologise for not being honest with you from the start but many still fear the rogues and what they may cause. I wanted to show we are different.” The door opens and Laurence reappears, “we are travelling there this afternoon. They are expecting us.” “Thank you Laurence” Jax says as food is brought in behind him. “Let’s enjoy our meal and then we can leave, is that all ok with you Sir?” He checks with my father. “Kingsley to you is perfectly fine” my father says, “this afternoon is great thank you. Beta for organising it.” Over the next hour we continue talking, telling stories of ourselves over the years as Laurence asks question after question about Guardian Wolves much to the appreciation of my dad. Feeling full I go to stand as Jax does the same, “I’ll see you. shortly, thank you for lunch I enjoyed it” I say as we wave goodbye slipping out the room.
