The Guardian Wolf And Her Alpha Mate
The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate Chapter 37

Jax POV:

"What was that about?" I glare at my father as Nova heads to get some food with the rest of my family.

"I'm sorry son" he sighs, "you know what I'm like when I don't have information. I was just thinking of you."

"I know" I reply sharply, "but you also need to remember I am now Alpha. I understand your concerns but I can assure you now that Nova is a blessing. Do not doubt us."

Hearing the conviction in my voice my father meets my gaze before nodding his head in understanding, "of course Jax, she seems like a wonderful woman."

"She is" I hear Laurence agree as he joins us, "we are incredibly blessed to have her as our Luna."

Hearing those words from my Beta has a large grin spreading across my face, "that's kind Laurence" I smirk at him.

"Just giving credit where it's due boss" he says shrugging his shoulders. "I actually came to tell you her father has just arrived."

"I thought you said her parents were dead?" My father interjects inquisitively.

"There has been a lot going on pa" I sigh, "I should probably warn you though. Nova was adopted by Lucas family at the age of 3 weeks. We very recently found out her father is Kingsley..the Rogue King." With that my fathers eyes whip to meet mine, "what?" He growls.

"Don't you dare growl at me pa" I glare, "Kingsley has brought order to the rogues. He took over from the previous Alpha King, every rogue that joins his pack has to make an oath alongside their pack witch to cause no more violence unless justified amongst other things. If they break that oath..they die."

"Surely you are aware David that there has been much less rogue activity in the last couple of years" Laurence mentions quietly.

"Well yes but you can never trust a rogue" my father grimaces.

"I know your history with rogues pa and I'm sympathetic to your views, but I assure you this is a very different scenario. Kingsley is a rogue through no fault of his own, he did it to protect his daughters and I am positive you would have done the same if you understood the circumstances" I tell him clearly.

"Perhaps after speaking to him you will understand more, for now I ask you to be patient and understanding. Today is Novas birthday, do not ruin that" I growl lightly at him showing my conviction.

"Ok son" he says after a moments quiet.

"I'm going to meet Kingsley, if you could let Nova know I'll be back shortly" I say to Laurence as he nods and turns to let her know.

Striding round the front of the packhouse I see Kingsley leaning on his car with a young woman by his side.

"Good afternoon Alpha Jax" he says happily smiling at me.

"Jax is fine" I say waving my hand, "you're family."

Smiling at the young lady shifting nervously next to Kingsley I extend my hand for her to shake, "you must be Sophie?"

"It's a pleasure to meet you Alpha" she says timidly shaking my hand and glancing up at me through her long blonde hair.

"The pleasure is all mine, Nova will be happy you have come" I say gently trying to calm her nerves. Seeing her gulp and look at her dad with worry he grasps her hand lovingly.

"Calm down darling, Nova was more than understanding and after spending time with her I know she will welcome you with open arms" he assures her.

"Please excuse my nerves Alpha Jax" she says quietly after a moment, "I have had little time around packs before and they got the better of me."

"That's more than understandable Sophie, but please call me Jax. You are Novas sister, being called Alpha by you isn't necessary. As for meeting others, this pack is welcoming and will be happy to meet their Lunas sister. If you would like I can ask Nova to meet you beforehand?" I ask. "I'd like that" she whispers.

"Nova love could you meet me at the front? Your father is here" I link her.

"Coming" she replies quickly.

"She's on her way" I let them know. Turning to look at Sophie I note she has her fathers eyes like Nova, "you have Kingsleys eyes" I comment making her smile softly. "That's what everyone says, I look like my mother with my fathers eyes" she chuckles.

"Funny that's exactly what I said about Nova" Kingsley comments.

Scenting Novas intoxicating scent I turn to see her approach round the packhouse, seeing her pause momentarily I link her quickly "it's Sophie, she's nervous."

As she approaches I see her with a warm smile on her face with her eyes full of excitement, "hello dad" she murmurs bringing him in for a hug.

"Happy birthday Nova" he says, "and I have to say congratulations to you both officially. I see you wasted no time" he jokes to me making my cheeks flush slightly.

"Don't embarrass him" Nova smirks winking at him before turning her attention to Sophie who has moved slightly behind her father.

"Sophie?" She asks gently causing her sister to look at her. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I've been so excited since dad told me I had a sister, I hope we can spend more time together and get to know one another."

Hearing those words I see Sophie's shoulders relax as she steps forward, "thank you Nova. I've waited a long time to meet you, you're as beautiful as father said."

With a tinker of a laugh Nova opens her arms offering a hug which Sophie steps into gratefully, "thank you. I see we have our fathers eyes."

As we all chuckle Nova steps back and glances at us, "what?"

"We just said that" I shrug with humour.

"Are you ready to head in?" Nova asks her sister quietly.

Seeing Sophie brace her shoulders and hold her head high I smile noting the similarities between the sisters, "yes we are" Kingsley says gesturing for me to lead the way.

As we head back round I hear the soft padding of someone's footsteps running towards us, looking up I see Luca run around the house before lifting his head up and taking a deep sniff before his head whips to meet our gaze. Seeing Sophie freeze out of the corner of my eye I reach my hand out to grasp Nova, "wait" I murmur quietly.

As Luca makes his way over slowly I look to Nova and see her trying to hide a large smile.

"Mate" Lucas deep voice growls as he stops in-front of Sophie, seeing the nerves flash through Sophie Nova steps beside her and holds her arm softly.

"Mate" Sophie whispers. Seeing the confusion cross Lucas face at Sophie's nerves Nova looks at him pointedly gaining his attention.

"Luca this is my sister..Sophie" she says calmly. Hearing that understanding crosses Lucas face as he smiles softly at her, "it's a pleasure to meet you mate" he murmurs.

"Sophie this is my brother Luca, his family are those that adopted me when I was 3 weeks old" Nova says quietly introducing her brother.

"Hello Luca" Sophie says with a small smile as she looks up at him nervously.

"Please don't be nervous around me Sophie, I've waited a long time for my mate and I am very happy that I've found you" Luca says holding his hand out for her.

She looks at it for a moment before reaching out her own to grasp it gently, feeling the shocks run through their bodies they both gasp slightly.

"Will take some getting used to" I chuckle as I see Luca looking down at their joined hands in awe.

"This is great news, congratulations" Kingsley exclaims stepping forward and patting Lucas shoulder. "Sophie hasn't been around other packs much Luca as you most likely gathered, please be there for her."

"Always" Luca promises looking at Sophie with soft smile. "If you need some quiet time if it becomes a bit much just let me know, I'd be more than happy to go for a walk."

"Thank you" she whispers shyly.

"Let's go get a drink, we have another reason to celebrate" Nova says happily, "see I told you it would be soon" she smirks elbowing her brother playfully.

"Smart arse" he retorts making Sophie giggle quietly much to his delight as we all head back to the party.
