Rogue King
Nova POV:
Looking in the mirror I try to rx and calm my fast beating heart, the nerves I’d tried
to ignore all morning are increasing as I know my father will be arriving soon. Nodding in approval at
how my cream dress fits my boobs and waist perfectly before
loosening into a short flowing sun dress, I nce at my shiny dark hair and admire
the loose waves.
“You look beautiful Nova” I hear Jax say huskily before hisrge hands grip my waist
as he steps behind me. Looking up at him in the mirror I offer him a small smile of
thanks. Sensing my nerves he drops his head leaving me a lingering k*ss on my neck,
“I’ll be right next to you love and Kia is with you always. Don’t worry” heforts me.
Turning round I give him a chaste k*ss before breathing in his scent deeply which immediately calms
my racing heart, looking up with resilience I walk towards the door
as I say “ok let’s do this.”
As we head downstairs I can hear murmured conversationing from the smaller
dining room we will be using for our lunch. Opening the door I immediately meet the
bright blue eyes of my father as he stands eagerly to meet me.
“Nova..” he breaths his nerves also showing, “you look gorgeous..just like your
mother.”
Hearing that I feel butterflies as it’s the first mention I’ve ever had as to what my
mother looked like. “I look like her?” I ask quietly.
He nods before gathering himself to reply, “you look exactly like her, but you have my
eyes.
“Do you have any photos?” I inquire nervously.
“I actually brought you some for you to keep if you would like them” he says offering
me a small envelope.
Taking it I look down at the envelope for a moment before opening it and pulling out
the first photo slowly. Looking at it brings fresh tears to my eyes as my fingers shake
slightly. Jax brings his hand round to cradle mine holding the picture lending me his

strength. In the photo is a man who is clearly my father, he’s younger with tanned skin and thick hair,
his eyes shining brightly looking into the camera with arge smile across his face, his dimples more
prominent than now. My eyes shift to thedy stood tucked into his side and I gasp slightly, she is the
mirror image of myself with the only difference being her hazel eyes which look almost golden with the
sun. shining on them as it is in the picture. Her hair is waist length and wavey just like. mine, she has
large eyes framed by thickshes and her mouth is open in arge smile showing her perfectly straight
teeth. In her arms is a newborn baby, wrapped in a nket as she is sleeping peacefully.

“That’s the day we brought you home, you were only a day old at that point. It was of the happiest days
of my life” my dad murmured as he came to stand in-front of me gazing down at the photo.
Holding the photo against my chest I smile through my tears, “this means a lot..thank

you.”
As we take a seat and Laurence pours us all a refreshing drink i nce at Jax seeing his eyes trained
on me already. “I’m here” he links me.
I take a deep breath and turn to look at my dad, “is there anything you would like to
ask me?” I start.
With that he lets out a deep breath I didn’t realise he’d been holding.
“So much Nova..so much so that I’m not sure where to even begin” he starts.
“I can start from the beginning if it helps” I say with some amusement. Seeing hist eyes wrinkle as he
chuckles he nods, “I think that’s a good idea.”
“Well I was left on my parents doorstep when I was 3 weeks old, there was a letter left with me telling
them my date of birth and saying that for the life I would have my parents couldn’t provide me with the
security and love that I deserved” as I said that I saw pain flit across his features as his eyes closed at
the memory. Reaching my hand. across the table I grasp his before continuing, “my parents
immediately took me in, they already had a son called Luca who was 2 years old. Due toplications
with his birth they couldn’t have anymore children so they saw me as a blessing. I was cared for and
loved by them and my brother. You met him yesterday..he is the Beta of
the White Mountain Pack, we are incredibly close. I first shifted when I was aged 8,

protecting Luca from a Rogue attack, I finished high school by the age of 15 and I went on to train with
the Elite Warriors at the training academy. During that time i resided with the Red Moon Pack, there I
met Theo and Flo- Alpha Jaxs Gam mas. I rescued them from a group of rogues as they had fled their
pack when it was attacked, they were only 12. I took them in and got them back into school when I
found out their pack had been destroyed, after a couple of years the council contacted me saying there
was an imminent threat and I had to leave immediately. I went to the White Mountain Pack where I
agreed to be Alpha Axtons chosen mate, I helped the pack regain its strength and improve its
finances, and now I’m here” I end rather vaguely.
“I sense that something happened?” My father probes.
“As you may have noticed Alpha Axton has a new Luna, he found her during a recent meeting where I
was visiting Novas pack” Jax informs him, “he unfortunately didn’t follow the mateshipws and marked
Luna Rose whilst causing Nova to suffer through the pain of his betrayal. I offered her a ce in my
pack when she had
recovered.”
Hearing that harm hade to his daughter my father growled softly as his eyes brightened showing
the presence of his wolf, after a moment he gains back control and offers a sheepish smile. “I
apologise, hearing you’ve been through pain like that is
making me feel rather protective of you”
Offering him a small smile I reply, “it’s understandable. Although I’m not happy with how Axton
conducted himself I am happy to have ended up here.”
With that Jax squeezes my shoulder whilst offering me his kilowatt smile making me blush as Laurence
smirks beside him. My father watches the small exchange as a
smile breaks out across his face, “you two are mates” he says confidently.
Hearing that my smile falters slightly, “I’m not sure..my birthday is on the weekend.
We will know for sure then.”
My father chuckled before leaning forwards, “do you have sparks when you touch?”
He asks, I nod in answer.
“Is his scent growing stronger and vice versa?” He asks again as we both nod.
“Beta what does Nova smell like to you?” My father asks Laurence.

“Like citrus fruit, orange and grapefruit. It’s refreshing and I find it almostforting” he adds on quietly
making me turn my head to him in confusion.
“And what does she smell like to you Alpha?” My dads asks a smile ying on his lips.
“Raspberry and mint..my favourite summer drink” he says confidently.
“You’re mates” my dad stated grinning at our shocked expressions.
“Seriously?” I whisper.
“Your Beta here finds your strengthforting as will anyone within this pack as you
are its rightful Luna, your scent will grow stronger to Alpha Jax as it nears your birthday as will his to
you, I’m sure you’ve noticed your sparks will have increased in intensity the more time you spend
together. You also will tend to gravitate towards each other unconsciously..I already had a feeling
yesterday but now I am certain that you two are mates. I met your mother 2 days before my 25th
birthday and I experienced the same as you” he finishes confidently.
Gasping I turn to look at Jax who is smiling widely, leaning down he presses a gentle k*ss to my mouth
before whispering “well thank f**k for that.”
Bursting outughing I shake my head at his reaction, “so polite” I giggle rolling my eyes at him. He
simply shrugs smugly before grinning at Laurence, “we have a Luna.”
“I’ve considered her my Luna since she arrived mate, I just held back my thoughts as !
didn’t want to put added pressure on you both” Laurence says just as smugly causing
Jax and I to drop our jaws in shock. “The whole pack has actually” he says innocently.
“Oh” was all I could muster making my father and Laurenceugh at my shocked
expression.
“Congrattions sweetheart, he’s a good man I can tell” my father offers me
graciously.
“Thanks dad..” I softly murmur to him.
“Can I ask if I could meet your parents? I would be most thankful if I could express my
gratitude at how you were looked after and brought up” my father then says
hesitantly causing my breath to hitch slightly.
Seeing this my fathers eyes widen, “oh..no Nova, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to say

anything wrong.”
I shake my head at him, “you didn’t don’t worry.” Taking a few controlled breaths I continue, “my
parents were unfortunately killed a year and a half ago.”
“How?” My father asked slowly.
“By hunters” I whisper as the pain from the memory hits me hard.
Hearing that my father shoots off of his chair, “hunters? Which hunters?”
“I don’t know..why?” I ask quickly.
“What if they’ve found you” he gasps holding his head in his hands.
“My grandparents?” I whisper.
“Do you have no idea who they were Nova?” My father checks.
I shake my head slowly, “no but..” I start before pausing.
“Well one of the hunters was hurt when they attacked, they were going to be killed but I had a gut
feeling that was the wrong thing to do. So i transferred her to a hospital and she has been in aa
ever since. I hoped one day she will wake and be able to give us some answers” I exin feeling my
voice shake slightly.
“I need to see her” my father says quickly.
“I can speak to Luca about arranging a visit if it would be suitable?” Jax mentions.
My father nods his agreement before Jax looks at Laurence gesturing outside, “on it Boss” Laurence
says before striding out and upstairs to the office.
My father shakily sits back down, “I’m sorry for what you’ve been through Nova. Is there anything you’d
like to ask me?”
“My mother..what happened to her?” I ask bluntly.
“I don’t know” he whispers pain making his voice thick, “I never saw or heard from her again. I assume
she was killed. I got told that when you mate to a human it is different though so until I find a new mate
my bond will still be there just weak. I’ve searched for your mother and you everywhere over thest 24
years.”
I nod my head as I had already assumed as much. “So you’re a Beta of the Rogue.
pack?” I ask.

Rague King
“Ah..about that. I’m not actually the Beta..I’m the Rogue King” he answers.
I gasp in shock as I look at him, “what..how?”
“2 years ago I had had enough of being a roaming rogue, I felt like I needed
family..friends, a sense of belonging. I knew no pack could safely take me in and as I
wasn’t sure of the dangers the hunters could still bring I knew I would have to stay a rogue. One day I
met the former Rogue King..he was a monster. He killed, raped, beat
men, women and children. I killed him when he fought me after I’d rejected bing
part of his army and became the new Rogue King by right” he informs me, “from there I made
significant changes. No more violence unless called for, no harm to others.
unless a named enemy. My pack runs just like any, there are positions and job roles and everyone
does their fair share. I told you yesterday about the oath I make
everyone utter with the pack witch, this was to bring order to them and I have to say
so far it has been highly sessful.”
“That’s incredible” Jax says admirably.
“Thank you son my father says, “I apologise for not being honest with you from the
start but many still fear the rogues and what they may cause. I wanted to show we
are different.”
The door opens and Laurence reappears, “we are travelling there this afternoon. They
are expecting us.”
“Thank you Laurence” Jax says as food is brought in behind him. “Let’s enjoy our meal and then we
can leave, is that all ok with you Sir?” He checks with my father.
“Kingsley to you is perfectly fine” my father says, “this afternoon is great thank you. Beta for organising
it.”
Over the next hour we continue talking, telling stories of ourselves over the years as Laurence asks
question after question about Guardian Wolves much to the
appreciation of my dad. Feeling full I go to stand as Jax does the same, “I’ll see you. shortly, thank you
for lunch I enjoyed it” I say as we wave goodbye slipping out the
room.
