Guardian Wolf

Confession Nova POV.

“So your vitals are all good and your strength seems to be increasing. I’m happy for you to be discharged Luna, just please don’t over exert yourself over the next couple of days. Rest and look after yourself” Doctor Trevor says looking up from his notes. “Can I just say…thank you for your time here as our Luna” with a small bow of his head he left the room.

“Nova we have made the right decision. We cannot stay here with someone who has put us through so much pain and not once considered us since his fated arrived. This pack will suffer without us, but they have a new Luna now” said Kia Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“I know Ki, it’s just hard to accept someone who we have shared our life with for the past 3 years has so openly hurt us” I said sadly, “but we will be stronger for it. Our 25th birthday is in a month, hopefully then we will find out fated.”

“We need to talk to Alpha Jax before we leave, he needs to know just who we are with us turning 25 soon. He will understand.” Kia replies.

“How are you so sure?” I ask.

“I just have this feeling. I feel content, safe even when we are around Alpha Jax. Maybe this was meant to happen, to show us who we can trust. I like to think the Moon Goddess has a plan, it’s fate right!?” Kia says with enthusiasm. “We will hold our head up high and show them just how strong we are… together.”

With that the door opens and my brothers messy chestnut head pokes around the door. Eyes closed he asks “all decent? Can I come in?”

“Haha yes Luca, you can come in. I was just talking to Kia. We need to talk to Alpha Jax, he needs to know who we are before joining his pack. It’s only fair. Can you arrange for him to meet us outside shortly if he is awake?”

“Good idea, I was going to run that past you last night but I thought you needed your rest. Alice has gotten all your things ready and I thought we could go for a walk together before you have to go. Let me meet you out front once I’ve contacted Alpha Jax, here are a fresh set of clothes for you” putting them on the bed Luca smiles and exits the room quickly.

Quickly getting dressed I take a look round making sure I’ve got the few small items I had with me I make my way outside. After walking past a couple of nurses who bow their heads I quickly say “please do not feel the need to bow your head. I am no longer your Luna, I am simply Nova. Thank you for looking after me so well, I hope to see you all again in the future.” Met with some somber faces I gently smile and walk towards the small rose garden at the front of the hospital.

Seeing the burst of colours in the rose garden I can’t help but smile. “See, there is always happiness to be found. This is a minor bump in our path, take pleasure in the little things.” Kia wags her tail in my mind and retreats once again. As I stand there running the delicate petals through my fingers I can’t help but feel thankful for sharing my experiences with Kia and to always have someone who understands the real me.

“Good morning Nova, Luca mentioned you were up. How are you this morning?” Came a husky voice from behind me.

With a small gasp of surprise I turn around and come face to face with a deliciously hard and sculptured chest. Feeling a faint blush creep up my cheeks I slowly lift my head, taking in his strong shoulders and muscular arms. Seeing his green eyes hold a hint of amusement and his mouth lifting in a small smirk I quickly shake my head and take a step back. “Alpha Jax, you surprised me. I’m sorry I was deep in thought.”

With a throaty chuckle as if he could hear my racing heart he replied “it’s okay Nova. I saw you admiring the roses and didn’t think to make my presence known sooner. How are you?”

“I’m well thank you, after some rest i feel much more like myself. I was wondering if you had time for a quick chat with me. I have to admit I haven’t been entirely honest with you.” I say, grasping my hands to stop my nervous fidgeting I see his eyes narrow slightly at my words.

Taking his silence as a notion for me to continue I walk slowly towards the bench in front of the fountain, once I was sure he followed I began to speak. “As you have acknowledged my wolf is incredibly strong. I first shifted when I was 8 years old defending Luca from a rogue attack when we were a part of the Red Moon Pack” I saw his eyes widen slightly in surprise, with most wolfs first shifting at the age of 16 with some alphas being an exception and shifting aged 14 I can understand his surprise at my statement. “As well as strong Kia is very large, as large as most Alphas around 8ft. Although she’s strong we do not have the instincts to lead as Alphas do, we are happy to take instructions..” I trail off unsure as to how to continue.

“If you’re trying to warn me so my Alpha ego does not get damaged then I thank you..however I am Alpha for a reason and I don’t believe it is in your nature to challenge me nor want to take this position from me. I cannot sense Alpha blood within you.” Alpha Jax said with his eyebrows raised.

“Your Alpha command won’t work on me.” I quickly reply whilst holding my breath.

Sitting down on the bench with his legs stretched out in front of him Alpha Jax does not seem surprised by that statement. After a minute more of silence I continue, “It is in my nature to protect and strengthen those around me. I went to Elite training for 3 years before joining my brother at the Moonstone Pack, because of my earlier shifting the elders believed I had a gift and that would help me focus. I am a top warrior, I have been trained in proper etiquette and I would like to think of myself as someone who people can confide in and approach for help. However the elders were wrong, I have no gift. Kia is a Guardian wolf.”

With that his head spun round his eyes widened in shock, “a Guardian wolf?! I thought those were myths!” He exclaimed, “you’re a direct descendant of the Moon Goddess herself!”

“Yes, I am. Which is why Kia and myself think that this is all meant to be. Although the pain we suffered was horrendous, maybe it was to make us stronger and increase our understanding of others.” I wonder, “but I just wanted to let you the Alpha know. It is not something I tell everyone. There is also the fact that when I turn 25 my wolf will be truly awakened. I’m unsure as to what that means exactly but I turn 25 next month…it is also the age from which I can meet my fated mate.”

“But why? I mean most can sense their fated from the age of 18, why have you had to wait for so much longer?” He replied in confusion.

“The bond between myself and my wolf is like no other, we work in unity and as far as I know no one is as connected to their wolf as I am. I believe the extra years are to work on our ability to be a Guardian. My priority is others, this is one of those lessons we had to learn to put others before ourself.”

Realisation dawned on Alpha Jaxs face “which is why you became Alpha Axtons chosen mate, to help the White Mountain Pack…”

“Yes. I was approached by the packs council after I had been back from training for 3 years. They, my brother, Alice and Alpha Axton are the only ones who know what I am apart from the Elders. It’s why we had the clause in our agreement where if a fated mate came along we would let that relationship progress as it should. Acknowledging the mate bond bestowed upon us by the Moon Goddess is a blessing. Although I could laugh at being so naive to believe it would all work out well. 4 years ago the former Alpha got the pack in to some financial difficulty, it was with my help that the pack is now thriving. I don’t like to blow my own trumpet but with focusing on the packs businesses and their efficiency I managed to turn things around pretty quickly. Something I doubt Axton could have done by himself.”

Seeing my brother heading my way I quickly stand, “if you would please excuse me Alpha Jax, I would like to go for a walk with my brother before we have to depart. I hope what I’ve told you will not change you allowing me to join Midnight Sky pack..?”

“Of course Nova. No, if anything it has just confirmed my offer was the right thing to do. Is Kia on board with joining our pack?” Alpha Jax responds.

“Haha yes. She seems to feel content around you, something which is a rare feeling for us. I truly believe this is just part of our path carved out by the Moon Goddess” I reply with a smile. Rewarded with a wag of her tail to show her agreement with what I’ve said I give a slight bow of my head and walk to meet my brother.
