Questions
Jax POV:
“How has this happened?” I growl to Henry slamming my fist down on the table in
front of me once we reach the office.
“He came willingly, didn’t show any fight in him and when I spoke to him yesterday he
was quite up to working on rectifying his wrongdoings” Henry says looking at me. “My brother is not a
man I recognise anymore.”
“So he definitely left willingly?” Nova asks from where she came to stand beside me.
“Yes” Henry replies running a hand through his hair. “And attacked two of my guards.”
“We should have put him in the da mn cells” I growl my eyes blazing with Zeus
presence.
“It’s too late f
“It’s too late for that now” Henry says with anger. “Who do you think he left for? The
rogues?”
“Why would he leave with the rogues though?” Nova asks looking confused, “he told me his discomfort
around my father stemmed from rogues killing his first mate? Surely he wouldn’t change his opinion?”
“He said that?” Ma asks Nova.
“Yes,
then he mentioned hunters when we all had a discussion before we left for the
council. I assumed they were linked in some way like at the moment” Nova says slowly looking
between us all.
“What did he tell you?” I ask.
“That rogues attacked the eve of their mating ceremony and that Minerva I think she was called? That
she was killed protecting the pups’ she says quietly.
Heaving a sigh I shake my head at my father’s stu pidity, “there is more to it than that” I say. “She ran
with the pups leading them away from the pack house where the fighting was. They couldn’t make it to
the bunker because of rogues so her and a few other females ran. But they were caught by hunters
and killed on the spot.”
“So she wasn’t killed by rogues?” Nova asks.
Questions
“No, but dad did blame them for her death” I confirm. “She kept the hunters distracted until Pa could get
to the pups and no one else died, but she was dead by the time he got to her. We still don’t know to this
day if the rogues and hunters were linked.”
“That’s awful” Nova whispers. “He didn’t explain that to me at all.”
“He doesn’t like to speak about it” Ma admits.
Nodding her head in understanding Nova looks to me, “I would have understood though..so surely he
won’t be involved with rogues or the hunters?”
“I’d be extremely surprised if he was” I sigh.
“Does he have any other family? Nova asks looking between us all.
“No” I answer shaking my head. “The rest of our family are all from mums side, she
comes from a big family. I don’t know where he could have gone.
“It doesn’t make sense” Henry growls in frustration. “I have got warriors from my pack
out looking for him and tracking his path. But they said his scent disappears about 10
miles from the pack in a human town.”
“Right well we need to keep our eyes peeled, Laurence is notifying other packs that
he has disappeared so if he attempts to enter any other pack lands in the area they
can let us know” I say taking a seat. “Nova love we are going to have go to address
the other guests about you and Kia. They will have lots of questions and it’s only right
we go answer them.”
“I know” she says with a small smile. Straightening her shoulders she walks to the door, “let’s go get it
over with” she says with a little laugh.
“Nova” Henry calls out as we leave, “don’t let their over bearing opinions of themselves get to you.
Many will be feeling put out due to you being stronger than
them and I hate to admit it but a female. They aren’t used to that as wrong as it is. Stay true to yourself.
I’ll be down shortly.”
Smiling appreciatively at my Uncle I look to see Nova looking at him with a warm. expression. “Thank
you Alpha Henry, I’ll bear that in mind.”
“I could always tell you were something special” he says with a smile before turning
back to speak to ma.

Questions
“Laurence has gathered them all in the conference room” I explain as I lead her away from the dining
hall. Opening the door I hold her hand as she stands proud beside me, “good morning everyone,
apologies for our absence at breakfast we had an
emergency:
“You seem to have a lot of those at the moment’ Alpha Brent comments with
concern.
Chuckling lightly Nova looks at the older gentleman, ‘you have no idea Alpha Brent Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
just how accurate you are with that statement
“Is everything alright?” Alex asks stepping forward as Henry slips into the room
quietly.
“Yes, we will update you after’ I assure him. “For now we are sure you will have questions about Nova
and we thought it would suitable we address those before you travel back to your respective packs
today” I explain taking a seat at the head of the
table.
“I understand many of you will have questions so perhaps we could all take a seat and work our way
around the table Nova suggests. “I know with a lot of Alphas in the room that could be difficult but could
I please ask for respect and just to be patient.
It’s a lot for me’ she admits quietly.
Seeing them all nod, some rather hesitantly they all take their seats.
Looking to Alpha Brent who is sat beside Nova I motion for him to start. “How long have you know you
are a Guardian Wolf?
“I first shifted when I was 8, protecting my brother in a rogue attack. I knew then that something was
different and at first the elders believed I was a gifted wolf as Kia didn’t announce outright what she
was, Kia also have a mark that shows she is blessed by the Moon Goddess. But it became clear I was
more than that” she answers clearly looking around and maintaining eye contact as they look
impressed by her admission, before looking to Alpha Marcus of the Blue Lake Pack next to him.
Why have you kept it from us?” He asks with an unreadable expression.
“To protect myself and others she says slowly. “It was the councils idea to not explain what I was to
others because growing up I could have been used by packs for

their own personal gain. But also because there simply wasn’t much information on Guardian Wolves
and we didn’t know how people would react.”
Seeing my uncle sit forward from next to Alpha Marcus he asks “can you explain
what you do know about Guardian Wolves?”
“Of course” Nova says with a smile. “We have an emergence at the age of 25, it’s the same age we
can meet our fated mate. The emergence or awakening as it’s also known means we gain more years
to work on our ability as a Guardian. My priority has always been others, but I will personally do
everything I can to ensure their is peace amongst our kind, I will protect those that need protecting,
guide those that require it, love those who need it and offer advice whenever required. Im very rational,
a logical thinker and I can fight. I trained with the elite warriors for 3 years, I finished school aged 15
and I am a trained midwife and doctor. When I turned 25 Kia, my wolf, she gained sharper senses, she
has always been a large wolf but she has also gained. strength and size. She can also mindlink anyone
which you will have experienced
yesterday.”
“Do you have any other gifts?” Beta Alec asks from beside Henry with eyes that are
intrigued.
“I haven’t that I’m aware of yet, but it’s suggested that I won’t know until they’re
required” Nova admits, “so there is a possibility.”
“Are
you a danger to us?” Alpha Brad of the Dark Night Pack asks next whilst looking at Nova intimidatingly.
Hearing that I growl loudly before Nova rests her hand on my
forearm.
“It’s alright love, I was expecting it” Nova says quietly. “No. I’m most certainly not.”
“How are we sure of that?” He asks.
With a chuckle Nova looks around the room to see many leaning forward in wonder,
“have I caused any of you harm or given you the impression I am after anything you
value?”
Seeing them all shake their head she continues, “have I once spoken to any of you with malice, anger
or any tone that has caused you concern?” They all shake their heads once more, “trust me gentlemen,
if I wanted to cause you harm I could do so
easily but I haven’t and I have no desire to. If I can remind you my wolf is considered

as a pure wolf. She means to help people not to cause harm or anything similar. So no..I am most
certainly not a danger. Unless you get on my wrong side” she adds on
with a smirk in Alpha Brads direction which he smiles at.
“Are there any more of you?” Alpha Edward of the High Mountain Pack asks once we
reach him as Axton and Luca shake their head to show they have no questions.
Nova pauses slightly before speaking “could you excuse me for a moment, I have
someone important I’d like you all to meet.”
Hearing the door open Kingsley strides in calmly with his head high.
Standing gracefully Nova goes to stand beside him, “this is my biological father. You may recognise
him from the party last night, perhaps you could introduce yourself?”
She suggests to him.

“Good morning everyb*dy, I apologise for not doing this sooner but we have our reasons which I hope
you can respect” he starts his voice radiating power around the

admittedly not as strong as Nova it seems.” He says with a
small chuckle before looking at her with pride. “I have looked for Nova, or Athena as she was known to
me, for almost 25 years before finding her. I was a rogue, made.

With that the room erupts into snarls as the quests surge to their feet in anger at his
statement.
