The Guardian Wolf And Her Alpha Mate
The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate Chapter 65

Nova POV:

Gasping I stumble back staring into Johnathons bright eyes as he looks pained from Jaxs words.

"Yes" he whispers after a moment of silence. "But please Nova..you have to listen to me."

"You're my uncle?" I ask shocked.

"Yes" he says with a slight flush standing his cheeks. "But I didn't know until the moon Goddess visited me."

"Maybe explain everything from the start Elder Johnathon" Jax says quietly as he holds my waist lending me his strength.

"My parents were killed after Kingsley was born, they were attacked by hunters and died protecting us, I doubt he will have any memory of them. We were placed left at an orphanage by their Beta and not long after we were separated. I tried to replace him as the years went on but the Moon Goddess visited me one night and told me for his protection and that of his future family I had to concentrate on my own path. Every decision I have made till now has weighed heavily on my mind as to if I would ever meet him again" he says sadly. "When you came into my world I started to realise my purpose, I guided you whenever I could and I offered my advice and support when needed. But the Moon Goddess had made me promise to never tell you who I was until that knowledge would be presented to you..or you figured it out."

"You're my family" I cry as Jax rubs my arm comfortingly.

"I am, and I am so proud to be" he assures me. "I swore the oath to pledge my loyalty to you."

"Oh my goddess" I whisper as I stare at him. With a quiet sob I throw myself towards him as he welcomes me with his strong arms.

"I'm sorry I couldn't tell you Nova, but it was safer this way. For both of us" he mumbles into my ear.

"Does anyone else know?" Jax asks.

"Elder Martin made the same connection you did but said it wasn't his place to tell you" he says as I pull back and wipe my eyes quickly. Smiling softly I chuckle as understanding hits me as to how they worked so well together to aid me. "That makes sense" I say shrugging. "Kia did you ever feel the family bond with him?" I ask her quietly.

"No..but I think that's to do with the Moon Goddess" she says thoughtfully, "we feel it now though. I have always trusted him." It's true, ever since Jax vocalised his realisation I felt the family bond snap into place as my uncle by blood was stood in front of me. "We've gone from having only Luca to having a proper family" I whisper in wonder to Kia as she purrs with happiness.

"Wait..you said Kingsley" Johnathon says spinning to Jax who stands wide eyed in shock at what he's done. "How do you know his name?"

"Crap" he mutters running a hand through his hair again.

"You've seen him?" Johnathan asks grasping my hands.

"He's at our home" Kia links him making him laugh out loud.

"I thought this day may never come, my brother is home" he says in amazement. "No one will hear anything in this room by the way..you have my word."

"How is he?" He continues.

"He's good..considering" I say wondering what more I should say. "Just tell him" Kia tells me with a slight huff.

"He has a daughter Sophie who is 20, she was a result of one of my grandfathers twisted games and unfortunately her mother died when she was a baby. She is also my brother Lucas mate" I say with a smile. "My father, and this may be a shock, is the new Rogue King."

With that he chuckles, "let me guess approximately 2 years ago he became the new Rogue King?"

"Yes?" I ask questioningly as he shows no sign of surprise at my revelation.

"Rogue activity significantly began to die down around that time and has continued to do so, there have been rumours of a new rogue king who is bringing order and reducing feral rates" he explains. "It would make sense for him..as we said Guardian Wolves are here to bring order and protect others. What better position to have to make that more successful, the changes he has made have made a noticeable difference to packs being successful. It also explains why the rogue king has refused any audiences with the council in the last two years."

"When you put it like that it's actually quite an obvious role for him to take" Jax chuckles in amusement.

"I was surprised" I said with laughter in my voice.

"Nova I need to tell you something" Johnathon says as his expression drops significantly and dread creeps into his voice.

"It's about your mother.." he starts before I hold my hand up to pause him.

"I know" I say quietly as his eyes widen in surprise, "I know she is most likely still alive. You told me about what would happen to me if my mate died, I told Jax and he made the connection. It's one of the reasons I asked to speak to you today!" "I'm sorry Nova, I couldn't tell you. I wanted to so badly but I couldn't" he says apologetically as sadness fills his features.

"Let me guess...the Moon Goddess?" I ask with frustration as I frown at how much she has kept from me.

"I'm so sorry Nova. If I told you that then you would know of your father and the Moon Goddess made me swear I would never mention him to you until you brought him up. I knew he was alive I never lost that family bond so I knew your mother must be also" he says sadly. "She did it to protect you both. I've been thinking and it makes sense now, you found your father close to Kia fully emerging, this way you are at your strongest. Defeating your dad and you would be extremely hard to achieve, if you had found one another earlier then you wouldn't be at your full potential and despite you being impressive your entire life, you may have made the wrong decision just simply because of biology and the fact your brain hadn't matured fully or you hadn't experienced enough of life to make the correct decision." "Decision?" I ask.

"Of who to protect" he says, "now it will be instinctual and I know it will always be the correct one. But that is because you have had the time to train and become the formidable woman you are today. With your mother if you had known earlier then your need to replace her most likely would have outweighed your logical thinking of what was the best way to do so. Now you clearly know that waiting and coming up with a plan with as much information as you can gather is the smarter move, otherwise you wouldn't be here." "Why do you think Novas grandfather wants her and her father to replace each other even if it makes them more dangerous?" Jax asks suddenly.

"Because that will also be when they're at their weakest, and by that I mean they will still be extremely hard to kill but they will be weakened by their love and their need to protect one another which makes them more vulnerable. Especially after everything you both have experienced in your lives" Johnathon says gravely.

"So he planned this" I gasp.

"Maybe not planned but definitely waited to see if it could happen" Johnathon agrees.

"And my mother?" I ask hestitantly.

Sighing he looks at me sadly, "I have tried to replace her over the years but your grandfather is always one step ahead of me. But I think together we can."

"Do you really?" I ask biting my lip to stop the cries from escaping.

"Yes" he says stepping forward and hugging me once again, "I will come back with you on Friday. It's time I see my brother."

After embracing for a moment he steps back and gestures to the pile of books behind him. "I will go get us some refreshments, why don't you both have a look through these. I have included my notes I have made over the years and any information on your mother that i was able to replace." "Thank you..uncle" I say with a shy smile.

His eyes fill with happiness at my words as he flashes me a toothy grin, "I have waited a long time to hear you say that."
