The Guardian Wolf And Her Alpha Mate
The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate Chapter 33

Nova POV:

Waking up I stretch and moan in content as I feel sparks erupt around me.

"Morning birthday lady" Jaxs deep voice grumbles from behind me. Rolling over I smile up at him as I take in his sleepy state. "I like your morning hair" I comment making him chuckle.

"I think you've roughed it up a bit more than usual" he says making me blush lightly from his words.

"Let's go for breakfast" he suddenly says as he stops rubbing circles on my back and jumps out of bed. I pout making him laugh, "I want to make an announcement" he laughs wriggling his eyebrows as he points to his neck.

At that my eyes widen in excitement as I stand and rush over to look at his mark. "It's beautiful" I breath taking in the white and black wolves wound together with the letters J & N underneath them. Seeing a small crown in the corner of the mark I frown slightly. "What is it?" He asks feeling my confusion through the bond.

Walking us over to the mirror I see my mark is the same, pointing at the crown I see him take it in with awe before also feeling his confusion filter through the bond.

"I'll have to speak to Laurence, he's a bit of an expert in these things. But I assume it's because of you being a Guardian Wolf. Either way..it's gorgeous" he smiles before dropping a soft kiss over my mark.

"If you do that we won't be leaving this room" I warn teasingly as his eyes darken at the thought. Chuckling he pulls away before saying "well as much as I love you I'd really rather keep my balls and if I risk upsetting Alice over your tight schedule today she will definitely ruin them for me" he shudders at the thought as I burst out laughing.

"Did she threaten the Alpha?" I mock.

"She is one feisty she Wolf" he comments as he pulls some clothes out of the wardrobe.

"Don't you want to shower?" I ask, seeing him look up confused I elaborate, "we stink of s*x."

Hearing that he smirks proudly, pulling his top over his head and putting some casual jeans on he shrugs, "nope. I'd rather let everyone know, call it Alpha pride if you will."

"Of course" I reply drying rolling my eyes before pulling a light summer dress over my head and braiding my hair quickly. "Ready" I comment as I walk out the closet to see him taming his hair slightly.

"You look perfect" he compliments me as we leave the room smiling. "You ready to be introduced as the Luna?" He asks.

"I am" I reply confidently, "I like knowing my place, and unlike last time I know what I'm doing. I just hope the pack has faith in me."

"They already do trust me" he says.

Walking into the dining hall hand in hand I see many pack members glance at ours hands hiding small smiles. "I think they've caught on already" Jax links me making me giggle lightly at the thought. "Happy birthday Nova" Naomi squeals jumping up from the table and pulling me into a crushing hug.

"Thank you Naomi" I say graciously as I take a seat opposite her.

"Happy birthday Luna" Laurence comments smiling knowingly, blushing I shake my head laughing.

"Thank you Beta" I say back making him chuckle.

"Here's some food love" Jax says as he places a plate in front of me. Before he sits he claps his hands getting everybody's attention before his voice booms out "Morning everyone! I just have a quick announcement to make, as you know today is Novas birthday. I hope you're all looking forward to the party later on. Before I let you go about your day.." with this he clasps my hand pulling me up beside him giving me a dazzling smile as he does so, "I want to let you all know I have found my fated mate..please can you all welcome your new Luna..Luna Nova!" With that he pulls my braid aside proudly showing our new marks as the dining hall erupts in thunderous applause and cheers at the news. Hearing a barrage of congratulations through the mindlink I blush at the compliments. "Thank you so much for all your kind words. I can't wait to help Jax with the pack and continue getting to know you all. I look forward to seeing you all later" I say softly.

"Enjoy your breakfast" Jax calls before sitting down as I do the same.

"Don't think I've ever seen you so happy" Laurence muses to Jax playfully.

"Probably" Jax agrees through a mouthful of food.

"Oh I'm so happy" Naomi squeals before clasping at her stomach, "damn they must agree" she laughs softly as the babies make their presence known.

"There you are, I've been looking for you everywhere" I hear Alice exclaim as she comes rushing to the table. "You've made her late" she says shooting Jax as accusatory glare.

He chuckles nervously holding his hands up in surrender, "sorry Alice, as soon as she's eaten shes all yours."

"And you" she exclaims twirling to look at me, "we have a lot to do today, could have some a little more enthusiasm."

"I can't wait to spend the day with you Alice" I say seriously, "I had a late night that's all, I wanted to make sure I was rested so I didn't have those dark circles under my eyes that you hate" I slyly add on knowing I've got her there.

Her eyes soften as she nods reluctantly, "you're right you're right." Sitting down she grabs an apple and starts eating before her eyes flash to mine. "What we're you doing last night?"

Laughing I just look at her for a moment watching her frustration grow, hearing a small growl escape from her as I don't reply I burst out laughing. Her hands fly to cover her mouth as she looks shocked by her reaction, "oh my goddess Nova I'm sorry, I have no idea where that came from."

"It's ok" I shrug still smiling.

Seeing everyone's surprised faces I chuckle as Theo sits down looking tired, "what's going on?" He asks, "happy birthday Nova, sorry I've been out on border patrol otherwise I would have wished you it sooner."

"No worries Theo, thank you" I smile at him.

Everyone else is still looking at Alice questioningly which doesn't escape Theo's notice, "ok seriously..what's going on?"

"She growled at me" i remarks casually.

"WHAT" he exclaims, "Alice we've spoken about this, what is going on?"

"I don't know" she mutters embarrassed as I see tears gather.

Reaching a hand out I grasp hers comfortingly, "I know."

"Huh?" Theo says looking at me.

"Smell her" I link him pointedly.

Seeing him inhale deeply I break out in a grin, "now listen to her closely." Seeing him concentrating I wait for the bell to drop, instead I see confusion cross his face.

"What the hell is wrong with your heart?" He asks panicked. Bursting out into laughter everyone turns to look at me in shock.

"Sorry" I giggle waving my hands at them, "Alice..you can snap at me all you want. I think you have a good enough excuse..you're pregnant."

Hearing that her eyes snap to mine in shock as Theo grins widely, "damn I'm good" he says proudly.

"I'm pregnant?" She gasps, "that quick?"

"Well you did mate and mark pretty much immediately Alice" I point out softly.

"Oh my goddess I'm going to be a mum" she squeals happily. Knowing it's what she has always wanted I stand and walk over giving her a large hug, "I'm so happy for you" I whisper tearfully. "Theo congratulations" I smile bringing him in as well.

"You're going to be an Aunty" he comments making me smile, "I can't wait to tell Flo" he exclaims.

Seeing them kiss softly I smile as a wave of happiness flows through me seeing them together. As I continue eating Theo suddenly looks up at me, "you smell different."

Smirking I look at him, "do I?" I ask innocently.

He continues to look at me trying to decipher before I absentmindedly move my hair exposing my mark. "You found your mate?" He gasps.

"What?" Alice exclaims from beside him.

"Say hello to your new Luna" Jax says smugly as he wraps his arm around my shoulder.

Hearing those words Theo immediately grins as Alice begins to cry, "oh goddess I'm sorry Nova, it must be the hormones. These are happy tears I promise, I'm just so happy for you both" she sniffles as I can see the truth in her eyes. "Thank you Alice, so would you take the honour of being my personal assistant again?" I ask softly

"You know I would love to" she cries as she holds my hand tightly.

"Brilliant" I hear Jax say, "I couldn't think of anyone better. Congratulations on your pregnancy, it will be exciting having some new pups running around in the next few months."
