The Guardian Wolf And Her Alpha Mate
The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate Chapter 138

Jax POV

Still reeling from my father showing up earlier I storm downstairs, my pack members glancing at me and knowing not to approach. I'm rarely this angry, this wound up and not in the mood to talk to people that they must know something is wrong.

"Jax" I hear my ma say softly from behind me before I pause, taking a breath and turning I attempt to appear calm to her. "Nah ah" she says wagging her finger at me. "You may be the alpha but I am your mother, there is something wrong. What's got you like this?" I stare at her for a moment unsure if I should be honest before taking a breath and thinking of how to answer. Knowing I am an Alpha who doesn't lie to my pack I wince, slightly wary of how my mum may react, before speaking.

"Pa showed up."

Hearing that her face falls as she looks to the floor, it's common of ma to do that when she doesn't want people to see the true emotions she is showing on her face. "Oh." she says, her voice small and timid.

"I'm sorry" I say quietly, "I couldn't lie to you."

Looking up at me I see the hint of pride in her eyes showing it's she understands. "What did he want?" She asks calmly as her voice gains back its strength

"He brought help in the form of more witches" I admit making her eyes widen. "He also apologised for everything, Nova was able to sense he was genuine in his apology and showed no malicious intent on his being here."

"That's. surprising" she comments furrowing her brows slightly.

"Yeah" I sigh running a hand through my hair.

"How do you feel about it?" She asks.

Laughing dryly i shrug, "I should be asking you that question."

"He's your father" she replies calmly. "If he is truly here to help then I'm grateful, and also dare I say it, it's about bloody time. Just because he and I don't see eye to eye right now doesn't mean I'll let it distract me from today. In fact I'll probably use it to spur me on" she smirks. "I have to take my frustration out somewhere don't I."

"You read my mind" I chuckle at her strong reply.

"No you're just my son, makes you easier to read" she laughs. "I'm going to make sure Brea is alright, they have managed well feeding everyone but I need to make sure the omegas here are prepared to get to the bunkers. They're tired after hosting so many over the last few days."

"They really have" I agree, "ll make sure they getlt's something to show my appreciation for their hard work.

Would you say I'm impressed please ma, if you'd excuse me I need to meet the other pack leaders."

"Of course. Go" she says with a small smile before shooing me away as only a mother can.

Walking down to the waiting Alphas and ranked members I can breath a little easier knowing ma is understanding of the situation even if she is as surprised as I am. But the unease around my father lingers, can I really trust him? Did he genuinely do this to help us? "I think so" Zeus says to me quietly.

"I hope so but right now we have bigger things to think about" I sigh shaking off all thoughts of Pa. Seeing Laurence and Alex I walk to greet them first.

"Are you ready?" I ask.

"Yes Alpha" Laurence replies seriously, "Michaela has also checked the tracks she needs to set alight and is happy and confident that she will be able to do so."

"Brilliant, the warriors seem prepared as well" | comment." I've been and checked their preparations and my Gamma Theo was and I ran through all their allocations for the attack and everyone knew where they are positioned."

"They are ready" Alex agrees. "It's 4pm now, since the warriors are all prepared. I'm going to send the archers and gun men to their vantage points."

"Send them to Nova first mate, she's going to mask their scents to deter the rogues. They can meet her in the dining hall I'll let her know" I say before linking her to update her that they will be on their way to the dining hall shortly.

"It's a shame we don't know the timings" Alpha Brad says as the others join us.

"That would be too easy" Alpha Marcus says with a slight chuckle.

"Alpha Marcus is right" Conor agrees, "it's very rare you know of an attack before hand, as it is I think we should count ourselves very lucky."

Turning his attention to me he points to the gathered men and women behind him, "I just wanted to confirm with you that we are going to head out. I'm going to go north and cut back in eastward so we can get behind them. Luna Nova has covered our scents already."

"Good man" I say before clasping a hand on his shoulder," and good luck."

"Thank you Alpha, i will keep in contact" he says before turning and briskly walking away.

"He's a clever young man that one" Alex remarks as we watch him efficiently rally the warriors and head out. "I'm tempted to offer him a training spot with my warriors if all goes well today. He's had some useful ideas and he's a very good fighter, it would help him with his future as Alpha. I see why Alpha Brent was confident in sending him."

"I think that's a good idea" I agree as we make our way to the packhouse steps. "Any sign of activity?" I link the scouts who are on look out around the territory.

"No Alpha" they reply.

This is the part I hate, waiting around knowing they are going to attack and we have a plan, but not being able to act on it.

Surveying the grounds in front of me full with gathered warriors i move my eyes around in search of my Luna. Not seeing her I open the mindlink but before I have time to reach out I feel her soft arms wrap around my waist as she rests her head on my back. Taking a breath I notice shes already hidden her scent which is how she managed to creep up on me.

"I was wondering where you'd gotten to" I chuckle. "Conor and his warriors get sorted all ok?"

"All done" she replies, her voice muffled as she is pressed into me so tightly. Lifting her hands from around me I turn to bring her in to my chest.

"How are y." I start before freezing as I get a mindlink.

"ALPHA, LUNA, warrior Enis from scout point 3 here on the southern border, we have incoming rogues" he shouts frantically.

"How many?" Nova responds quickly.

"Approximately 400 I would say, I'm running back now along with southern scouts 1 and 2. Rogues will be with us in less than 3 minutes, they're running fast" he informs us

"Kingsley and his pack, Alpha Brad and his warriors along with 50 of the Midnight Sky Pack reserves to go to the southern side, incoming of approximately 400 rogues here in under 3 minutes!!" My voice booms out, carrying across the clearing as everybody's heads snap to face me.

"It's beginning" I hear Esmerelda say as her hair becomes static and she moves to the eastern side quickly.

"Theo I want you with them" I order my Gamma as he comes running over. "You, Kingsley and Alpha Brad are running that attack, any problems mind link us."

"Yes Alpha" he says before bowing and sprinting to the far side of the packhouse.

"Nova" I say quietly to gain her attention as she watches them rush to their positions.

"Yes Jax?" She asks her beautiful eyes turning to mine.

"You need to go" I tell her as her eyes widen in understanding. "Keep me informed, tell me when you're going to make a move and finally... know you're a kick a's Luna, but look after yourself."

"I will" she promises as she rests her forehead against mine. "See you soon."

"See you soon" I repeat before kissing her lips and stepping back to allow her to move away.

"Florence to your position with Nova immediately" I instruct her through the link.

"Yes alpha, what about David?" She asks quietly.

"Theo is on the southern side ready to face the incoming rogues, take Dad there" I tell her. "Will do" she replies.

"It's time he shows us he means what he said" I growl to myself.
