Guardian Wolf

Next Morning Nova POV: Waking up i realise I’m tucked once again against Jaxs warm b*dy in his room. I wriggle closer to him listening to his heartbeat finding it soothing. “Mmm” he groans as he shuffles slightly waking up. “Mornin” he murmurs in my ear. “Morning” I whisper, “fancy the gym?” “Sounds great” he says sitting up and stretching before jumping up and going into the bathroom to freshen up. Getting up I quickly see some of my clothes on the desk in the corner of his room and get dressed in my workout clothes. “Ah you found some clothes” Jax says a bit sheepishly as he comes into the bedroom, “sorry after you fell asleep last night I didn’t want to wake you so I asked Alice to get you some bits to have here if you ever need them.” “That was really thoughtful thank you” I say reaching up and giving him a quick peck on his cheek. “How are you feeling today?” He asks as we head downstairs. Good, I finally have some answers about my biological parents although I have to admit I grew up in such a loving family it was only since my parents passed away I wondered about my biological ones. It was a lot of information but Kia and I are happy to know there is another Guardian wolf.” I let him know walking into the gym. I see him nod in understanding, as we start stretching he looks at me curiously, “how are you feeling about seeing your father today?” “A bit anxious but I’ll be fine, I’m ready to hear more” I say simply, “plus working out will help me release some pent up emotions, I like to keep busy.” “Well let’s get working out then” he says brightly. As we work out I realise he truly has my best interests at heart, he doesn’t push any subject and let’s me say what I feel comfortable sharing.

“How are you feeling coming up to my birthday?” I broach the subject as we finish up our last exercises. 11/5 Best Morning With that he bites his bottom lip nervously making him look gorgeous, “I’m nervous I can’t lie. Everything points to that we’re mates, the sparks have grown stronger, your scent is like my own personal drug, our connection, the way we work together, how you have settled in this pack so well, how we are able to help one another, our chemistry. I’m struggling to think of anything showing we aren’t. But I’m hesitant because there is still that possibility. What about you?” “You’ve just basically voiced my thoughts. I’m struggling because if you’re not my mate I can’t imagine feeling this naturally connected to someone else..” I trail off.

“Hey, it’s something out of our control and we will cross that bridge when and IF we get to it ok? I’m not giving up what we have unless you find your mate Nova..I hope. you understand that?” He says looking into my eyes sensing my reaction. As my b*dy fills with warmth at his comment I smile across at him, “I wouldn’t want it any other way.” “On that note though, I have kind of arranged a bit of a get together for your birthday” he mumbled quietly. I spin around in excitement, “you have?” He laughs seeing my eyes wide with anticipation, “it’s just a BBQ at the pack house and I invited your brother this morning. He said he will definitely be here.” Sk ipping over I wrap my arms around his neck and k*ss his hard, “you’re amazing..thank you” I breath. “Well I’ve left it up to Alice to finalise so you’ll have to thank her when the time comes. 5 more days love” he says with hunger in his eyes as he looks at me. Making me shiver at the thought of what could be. “Let’s get some food before training or you’re going to distract me” I giggle shaking my head to clear

any naughty thoughts away. “Probably a good idea” he laughs taking me hand and leading me upstairs. “Here I’ll get you a plate” he says passing me a coffee as I sit down. “Hey Beta how are you?” I ask as Laurence sits down opposite me. “Ah drop the title Nova, I’m just Laurence to you at all times” he says waving his hand at the mention of his title, “but I’m very well thanks, how are you after yesterday? It ||| 2/5 Next Morning was a lot to take in huh?” “Just a bit” I let out a deep breath, “but it’s answered some questions and we can find out more later. I’d like you to join us for lunch if Jax agrees.” “Really?” He checks. “Yeah definitely, you have been so helpful in my time here and we work closely. Plus with your knowledge and interest in Guardian Wolves I think it would be beneficial if you join us” I explain. “I’d like that Nova, thank you” he says squeezing my hand. “Here you go” Jax says in my ear as he bends over with a plate of food for me. “Eee that looks amazing” I squeal as i take in the food in front of me making Jax and Laurence burst into laughter. “What’s so funny?” I ask pausing with a forkful of food halfway to my mouth. “We have never met someone who loves food like you” Laurence splutters out. “Food is life” I state, “it’s my warrior side coming out” I add on before devouring my plate. “I’ve asked Laurence to join us for lunch Jax, but I did say I’d check with you if that would be alright?” I say as I finish. “Yes of course it is, you have whoever you want there. Luca said he’d be expecting a Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

call after” he lets me know. “That’s great thank you” I reply. Sitting back I wait for Theo and Flo to come meet me to head down to training whilst I run through what I want to speak to my father about. Speaking to Kia we agree we should find out more about our mother and what happened to her. From what he said yesterday and the hurt that was in his eyes wer have to assume she is no longer alive. But it would be nice to know for certain. We also want to know more about Guardian Wolves, he has lived as one and has more experiences..especially with Kia awakening when we turn 25. The council has been helpful but I can imagine hearing a first hand account would be better for us. Seeing Theo and Flo by the door I stand and excuse myself before jogging over. 111 3/5 Next Morning “Morning Nova” they say in unison. “Still not used to that” I laugh at them. “It’s a twin thing” Theo shrugs punching my arm lightly. “How are you both?” I ask. “Good, we are actually going away next week for a couple of nights with our mates. Jax has granted us leave which is amazing” Flo exclaims excitedly. “That’s awesome! You’ll love spending time with Alice, you two will get on brilliantly I just know it” I say happily. “Get ready though Theo” I say playfully. “Why?” He asks nervously. “Because if you think Alice will be there to stop Flo being her typical mischievous self then you are royally screwed. Alice will 100% make it worse” I say laughing at his panicked expression. “I never thought about that” he mumbles. “Well you and Andrew best get prepared, plus if you let Alice have any wine you will

be in for a crazy night..although maybe that’s what you want” i wink at him making him blush. “Please tell me you didn’t just make a joke about your brothers s*x life” he says burning a bright red. “Love it’s not a joke..I’m telling you it will be crazy” I laugh, “plus if you don’t want your s*x life discussed with your sisters I’d maybe mention something to Alice” I add on innocently. “She hasn’t” he exclaims mortified. I just shrug and look away laughing. “Has she?” Flo linked me curiously. “She tried but I stopped her, I figured Theo wouldn’t want me to know the details. But he doesn’t have to know that” I answer her making her giggle loudly. “Right let’s get training” i exclaim bumping their shoulders playfully leaving Theo 111 < 4/5 Next Morning looking a bit shocked. 111
