Chapter 38
Shock
Nova POV:
As I stand to one side looking around the party I can’t help the smile that’s stered
on my face as I look at those I’ve grown to love enjoy themselves.
“You look happy” I hear Mment as shees to stand beside me.
“My adopted brother found his mate in my biological sister, he’s been waiting for
many years so I’m over the moon for him. Plus this is a great party, it’s lovely to rx. and spend time
with everyone” I grin turning to look at her.
Raising her wine ss to clink mine she winks, “the alcohol is a bonus.”
“Definitely” Iugh.
“It was nice to see you stick up against my father earlier” she says turning round to
look around the party again..
“I understand where he’sing from, it wasn’t upsetting so I’m not offended. I know what it means to
look out for family and that’s what he was doing, but I’m d he knows I’ll speak up for myself” I shrug
casually.
“Oh he’s aware alright” she smirks, “he’s a great father and was a brilliant Alpha.”
“I have no doubt about that” I assure her.
“But as you’re probably aware Alphas like to be in control. Handing the reigns over to
Jax was hard on him, he lost the feeling of being in charge and knowing everything
going on” she continues, “Jax has always made sure to keep my parents in the loop.
They have the right to know as the previous Alpha and Luna and my father knows Jax
is a brilliant Alpha himself. There are just times, such as now, where he knows there
is more going on and his Alpha mindset is pushing him to find out.”
“Trust me I understand M. I’m grateful to you all for being understanding and not
pushing me to say more, please know that in time I will. But before I do Jax and I
need to find out some more information” I start exining.
M quickly grasps my arm making me look at her, “Nova you don’t need to exin.
Even from the very short time I’ve known you I can sense the kind of woman you are,

and Jax is lucky to have you. We have faith in you both and just know that when your
are ready to talk..we’re here.”
“Thank you M” I say softly.
“So your brother has found his mate?” She asks.
“He has” I smile.
“Well I have to say congrattions, although that’s now one more hotty I can’t admire
anymore” she smirks.
“Pfft do not let Luca hear you say that, I swear all the men around here have no issues
with their huge egos” I chuckle as she joins in.
“So you have a mate M?” I ask.
“I do, he’s Alpha Bruno of the Deep Forest Pack” she says with an odd look in her eye. Seeing she has
no mark on her neck I wait to see if she has more to say. “He didn’t
want me” she murmurs.
“He rejected you?” I ask shocked.
Grimacing she gulps her wine down, “oh no. He had a chosen mate, one he had been. with for 4 years
from the end of school. Her mate died two days after they met in suspicious circumstances. He wanted
to keep us both” she growls.
“What?” I ask horrified.
“I know” she rolls her eyes, “I uttered my end of the rejection when he demanded I be a mistress
to ensure he has a strong heir but he would mark his chosen Lunal
but he has yet to ept it.”
“Da mn..” I tra
off.
“I was broken for a while but now I’m just d we were never marked although I’m
not sure he would have even considered it. I don’t think I’m strong enough to deal with the betrayal like
my brother had to” she shrugs.
“Hurts like hell” i grimace at the memories.
“Oh Nova, I’m so sorry” she says twirling to face me.
“Don’t be” I wave off, “so what are you going to do if you don’t mind me asking?”
Shock
“He has a month left, that’s what Jax gave him. If he doesn’t ept the rejection by
then we will contact the council” she says with confidence.
“I assume because you rejected him you don’t feel him with another as strongly?” I
ask intrigued
“I do, but it’s minimal. When I rejected him our bond was massively weakened, then with the distance
between us it’s only grown fainter. But I can still sense it, Alia my wolf felt sorry for his wolf as he was
against Bruno’s love for his chosen mate but he also understands why we cannot stay with him. Now
Alia takes the pain whenever we experience any as she says she wants to, to remind herself that our
fated mate does
not respect us” she exins.
“Wow..Alia is amazing then” Ipliment.
“I couldn’t ask for a better wolf” she smiles.
“I’m
sorry you had to go through that M” I say quietly.
“So am I, but what’s done is done. I hope to be granted a second choice mate, goddess knows my first
was not worth me” sheughs. “I’ve been staying at our cousins pack who is joining uster but after
next week I’ll be back here.”
“Well im here if you ever need someone to talk to” I offer.
“Thank you Nova, I’d like that” she says giving me a hug.
Hearing raised voices I see my father and David involved in a heated debate.
“Oh goddess what now” I groan, “can wedies not enjoy our wine in peace.” With a slight chuckle from
M we head over to them.
“What’s going on here?” I ask loudly interrupting the men
“David has an opinion on rogues, which I understand why. He asked what I do
differently and I exined however I don’t think I’ve filled him with confidence” my
father grimaces at me with an apologetic look in eye.
“Where’s Sophie?” I ask calmly as I see the anger in David’s eyes.
“Luca took her for a walk” Jax says as he stands beside me.
“Ok, right you two with me…now” I growl before turning on my feet and storming into

the packhouse.
Entering the lounge I gesture to the sofa “sit.”
“I do not appreciate being told what to do Nova” David warns me as he takes a seat..
I
“And I do not appreciate your attitude at a celebration. It is my birthday, the pack is celebrating having a
new Luna and my adopted brother and biological sister have found out they are mates. This negative
discussion is not necessary and I’m going to clear it up…immediately” I tell him my eyes shing with
that of Kia’s.
“I’m sorryy
I know he’s your father but until he knows more this is going to be a problem” I say turning to look at
Jax with an apologetic look in my eyes.
“Nova don’t apologise, I already warned my father but he hasn’t listened” he says throwing a dirty
nce in his fathers direction.
Turning to speak to my father and Jaxs I harden my gaze. “My father is a man who has suffered greatly
in the years we have been separated. What I am about to tell your needs to be kept between
ourselves. It is not public knowledge as of yet and until we have met with the council we don’t know
what is going to happen.” I start.
“Your father is the Rogue King” David starts in anger.
With a loud growl Kia pushes to the forefront and my aura releases causing everyone, including my
father, to bow their necks in submission.
“Our father is a strong man, a good man. I strongly advise you listen to Nova” she growls to David who
is looking up at us in shock.
“W…what?” He stutters out as he realises the power behind us.
I
“I’m sorry David, I truly am. I wish for nothing more than a nice rtionship between my mates father
and myself. But until you put your alpha pride to one side that is going to be a struggle.
Taking a deep breath and reigning my aura in I feel Jaxs handnd on my shoulder showing his
support. “Let me start again. My mother, my fathers mate was a human. Her parents were hunters who
have done nothing but cause harm to her and our family. They came after my parents very shortly after
I was born where my parents. had to separate. To protect me my mother made the heartbreaking
decision to leave. me with my brother Lucas family, I was 3 weeks old. My mother to our knowledge.

sacrificed herself to protect me, my father could not join any pack and had to live life
as a rogue to this day ever since attempting to lead the hunters away from my mother and myself. He
has be the rogue King, ensuring there is order between the rogues that are in the rogue pack,
tracking those who are turning feral and bettering those who are part of his pack. When looking for me
he approached packs peacefully and showed no violence as Jax can confirm.” Seeing David look at me
dubiously I
shake my head.
“There is something you need to know about us David, let me ask you. What is your history on myths?”
“It’s an interest of mine” he admits slowly looking at me in confusion.
“Father would you mind?” I ask gesturing to therge space to the side of me.
“I’d be happy to” he snarls at David offended by the attitude thetter has shown him.
He quickly strips off his clothes and immediately his magnificent wolf is standing
before us. “Hello” I whisper as I go to stroke his neck as he huffs in greeting.
“My father is a Guardian Wolf David, are you familiar with those?” I ask sharply as
turn to see his shocked face.
“Y..yes” I stutters out.
“So you must know that for my father to be a Guardian Wolf he has a good heart.
Everyone around him is a priority and he would give his life to protect them” I say
I
fiercely.
“They’re real” David murmurs in awe.
I
Stepping back I look at Jax who nods his head slowly. I turn and strip before shifting seamlessly into
Kia, hearing David gasp in shock we pad over to him quietly before sitting directly in front of him.
“Perhaps now you will know that our love for Jax and Zeus is genuine. Guardian wolves cannot find
their mates until they are 25 which I’m sure Nova would be happy to exin more on if you gave her
the chance. If Jax dies..we die. We will do anything within our power to protect those around us and
better this pack. Do not ever doubt us again” Kia warns him.
“You can link me?” David asks in shock.
Shock
“I can link anyone” she huffs before shifting back. I quickly dress behind Jaxs broad figure as my father
does the same in the corner,
“Ki has grown” Jax tells me with pride shining in his eyes. “Let’s go for a runter,
Zeus is desperate.” Grinning at him i nod in agreement.
Turning to see David staring at me in shock I step forward and sit down beside him. “I know this is a
shock, however I hope that now you know..I would never harm or deceive your son or anyone here. My
father is loyal, trust worthy and kind. We will fight ferociously to protect those we love and to right any
wrongs.”
“Pa.. Nova is my soul mate, my other half. Kingsley is her father, we are family” Jax
says as hees to stand before us.
After a moments silence David schools his features and turns to face me, “Nova I cannot apologise
enough. I had no idea and I should have had more faith in Jax. I should have respected today of all
days. Please ept my sincere apologies for my
distrust and the attitude I have shown you and your father. I promise from now I will
trust you both.”
Turning to face my dad he stands and offers his hand for a firm shake, “it’s an honour to meet a
Guardian wolf. I hope you can put my initialments to one side and we
can move past this.”
“Of course” my father murmurs before turning to speak to me.
“Thank you Nova, that could have ended very differently” he says.
“I want no more fighting, after everything we have gone through I want to enjoy the
rest of today” I say firmly to everyone.
“I second my Luna” Jax says before turning and offering his hand, “shall we go
dance?” He asks with a smile.
“Let’s” I grin at him putting the drama behind me once again.
