The Guardian Wolf And Her Alpha Mate
The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate Chapter 13

Nova POV:

Blearily opening my eyes I stretch my arms above my head before taking a minute to take in my surroundings. Getting up I wander over to the window and see it's still pretty dark out, glancing at the clock I see it's 5:45am. Yawning I shake my body loosening off my muscles, "I haven't slept that well in a while" I ponder to Ki who's stretching in my mind.

"Hmmm, it was what we needed" she murmurs back to me as I walk into the bathroom to freshen up. As I get dressed into my gym leggings and crop top i gather my hair up into a high ponytail and catch a glimpse of my new scar on my neck. Seeing the small silver line on my neck it fills me with sadness for a moment before I blink away my tears not letting them fall, "it's healed very quickly" Kia observes. "Hmm" I hum agreeing with her not sure as to the reason.

"Work out time" I say cheerily trying to perk myself up. Slipping on my trainers I quickly grab my keycard and fill my water bottle before leaving the room and heading downstairs.

Opening the gym door I'm immediately surrounded by Jaxs increasingly intoxicating scent, hearing grunts and a thud from him hitting a punching bag I walk over to the far room seeing him concentrating on his workout. "That man..wow" Ki exclaims to me. His brows furrow from the effort he's exerting as his sweat drops down his deliciously defined body, his arms bulge as they move fluidly. Realising I've been staring at him admiring him I shake my head and cough slightly making my presence known to him as he stood and catches the punching bag.

"Hey" he pants as he drops and picks up his water bottle gulping it down.

"Lost in your own world there?" I ask him playfully I set my things down and start stretching and rolling my muscles.

"Yeah, I just try and switch off when I'm in here. Zeus and I love this time of day when we just get to work out" he answers me.

"Sorry for interrupting you, I don't mind coming in later so you can still have some private time to work out" I let him know.

"I'm not sorry" I hear him say from behind me. Looking over my shoulder as I stretch my leg out in front of me and lean forward I see Jaxs eyes trained on my behind.

"You sure?" I check ignoring the warm feeling that spreads through me at his words.

"Im sure" he assures me as he lifts his eyes up to meet mine grinning unashamedly knowing I've caught him checking me out.

Shaking my head at him as he stands back up I laugh, "well you can get back to punching the life out of that bag, I'll be over there" I point to the weight section at the far end of the room. Quickly hopping on the treadmill I run for a few minutes warming up my muscles before I hop off and start with my weight circuits. After I'm done I sit in bewilderment for a few minutes before Jax comes over, "you ok?" He checks.

"Hmm?" I ask him making him quirk a brow at me.

"Oh yeah..I just realised I did my normal weight rounds and didn't struggle, I probably could have added another 30/40kg on and would have been fine" I note with confusion in my tone.

Seeing his eyebrows shoot up he looks around noting the weight I've already been lifting, "seriously?! What you were already lifting was impressive, I've never seen a female lift weights that heavy! Why don't we see what you can lift tomorrow morning?" "Oh so you're not sick of me training at the same time" I joke with him.

Laughing as he wipes his sweat off of him with a towel he runs his hand through his thick dark hair messying it attractively, "you're quiet, concentrate on your own workout and you're nice to look at..I can't think of any complaints" he casually says. Pulling his top of his head making his abs and v line ripple with his movement I replace myself licking my dry lips all of a sudden, "oh..good" I hear myself faintly say.

Shaking myself off I see him smiling at me knowingly, "dont" I mutter slapping his arm jokingly as I walk past him to grab my bottle.

Hearing a grumble of laughter in his chest from behind me he bends down and whispers in my ear "you're pretty good motivation" before he straightens up and walks over to hold the door open for me leaving me slightly flustered.

"I need a shower" i mutter to myself as I walk back upstairs shaking off the images Kia is sending me much to her amusement.

"I'll meet you for some food if you'd like Nova? Give me 30 mins to shower and I'll be down to join you" Jax offers hopefully. "See you there" I smile at him as I turn and walk back to my suite.

Opening my door I walk in and collapse on my couch, "what is happening to me" I groan as I feel my face blush at the memory of Jaxs body.

"He's making quite the impression on you Nova" Ki exclaims to me wagging her tail gleefully. "Quiet" I shush her as I lean my head back trying to calm my fast beating heart. Shutting her out for a minute in the hope I can calm down I try to move my mind away from Jax. After a few minutes of not succeeding I feel the familiar heat pool below as images of a half naked sweating Jax assault my mine. Groaning I lower my hand absentminded down and pull my leggings down opening my legs. Running my hands through my wet folds I gasp as I graze my c**t slightly, "damn" I whisper to myself amazed at how turned on I am just from being in his presence. Knowing I'm too far gone at this point I lightly circle my swollen nub before I slip a finger in to my warm core imagining it's Jax doing so, feeling my nipples harden I move my free hand under my bra and pinch and twist the hardened peaks eliciting a soft moan from myself. Increasing my tempo I plunge my finger in and out before moving my other hand down to rub my clit. Feeling the familiar tightness increase in my core I throw my head back further as I slip a second finger in, feeling my walls tighten around my fingers I gasp as I come undone my last coherent thought being that of Jaxs face with his darkened eyes.

A few minutes later I sigh as I think how long the next few days may be as I wait to replace out if Jax is my mate. Checking the time I see I only have 15 mins so I quickly run into the shower and wash off my sweat and any scent of arousal that lingers before throwing on a short denim skirt and white top that slightly hints at my toned stomach. Sliding into my grey vans I run a brush through my damp hair quickly then flick a layer of mascara on and some lipgloss highlighting my plump lips. Stepping back I quickly admire myself in the mirror, "you look amazing" I hear Kia tell me.

"It's nice to be able to dress a bit more relaxed" I comment to her and I head downstairs thinking of how Axton always insisted I cover myself so others couldn't admire me too much, "men" Kia scoffs at that thought.

Following the delicious smell of baked goods I wander into the dining hall seeing the others at a table I head towards them to wish them a good morning as they wave me over.
