The Guardian Wolf And Her Alpha Mate
The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate Chapter 66

Jax POV:

A couple of hours later and I look over at Nova to see her engrossed in an ancient looking book. Admiring her scrunched up brows as she concentrates on the information she's teaching I can't stop the small smile playing on my lips. "Stare any longer and you might as well take a picture" Nova says before looking up with a smirk.

"Ah you caught me" I chuckle, "anything interesting in there?"

"There is actually" she says thoughtfully, "have you felt any different since we've marked one another?"

"Different how?" I ask confused.

Shrugging she just looks at me with her big eyes. "Umm I don't think so, although I don't know for certain. I mean it's been a very busy few days" I point out. "I haven't had time to train or work out or anything really."

"True" she says before looking back down, "why?" I ask gently.

"It says after being marked some of my gifts may transfer over to you or come to you in moments of need" she mutters making my eyes widen.

"Seriously?" I gape.

"Yup" she says with a pop before looking at me closely. "Your senses?"

"Same as always" I say with a shrug.

"Hmm well it's something to keep an eye out for isn't it" she says softly before turning her attention back to reading. "Don't take this the wrong back but I wish Laurence was here, he would find this all interesting and he would be a lot more efficient than us." "Ha, I was thinking the same about an hour ago love. We will have to come back and read some more later love, we have to go and interrogate Anthony" I say bringing her attention back to myself.

"Are you happy to know the truth about Johnathon now?" I ask as we stand and ready ourselves to leave.

"Yeah and I feel pretty silly for not noticing how identical our eyes are, it's pretty obvious as well after seeing dad. They have the same cheekbones, eyebrows, ears..I mean now I know I can't stop noticing similarities" she chuckles.

"Well he's over the moon" I tell her as I recall the spring in his step as he dropped us off some coffee earlier.

"He'll be even happier on Friday" she smiles.

We walk down to the cells hand in hand and meet Elder Martin staring daggers at a pitiful looking Anthony who is chained to a chair.

"I'm going to hand the reigns to Nova for this one" Martin says without sparing us a glance.

My eyebrows shoot up at his words as I can't stop my surprise from showing through the bond, Novas head snaps up to look at mine as she pulls a frustrated face.

"Don't you dare doubt me Jax" she growls dropping my hand. Holding my hands up in surrender I shake my head quickly, "no I know and I most definitely don't doubt you. I'm just used to leading interrogations or have Laurence do it when necessary. I'm sorry it was a natural response but honestly I have no qualms with you leading. Quite obvious you can handle yourself" I joke at the end.

"Hmm good" she says narrowing her eyes slightly before turning to Martin.

"Limitations?" She asks quietly.

"No death" he says simply.

Nodding she turns and flings the cell door open making Anthony's eyes snap to her in fear as he attempts to shrink back into the chair.

Chuckling darkly she crouches down in front of him making sure he can't avoid her piercing gaze. "Well well Anthony..it seems you've ran out of luck."

"W..what do you want?" He stutters out pathetically.

"It's pretty obvious is it not?" She asks coldly, "but we will start with why you betrayed me? And why you went against the council by working with the hunters?"

He stares at her for a moment as he appears deep in thought before Novas arm flies out and twists 2 of his fingers back snapping them before he has time to blink. With a howl he bares his teeth at Nova as she smiles coldly in amusement, "scary" she whispers mockingly.

"Tell me" she commands making him tilt his neck in submission.

"Why not just do that to start?" I link her trying to bite back a laugh.

"This way is more fun, and what he deserves" she replies back throwing me a wink.

"My mum" Anthony starts through gritted teeth, "they killed her and have said if I don't do what the Master orders then...then they won't give my sister back to me." "His sister?" Martin asks as Nova asks a similar question.

"You have a sister? Tell me more" she orders.

"She was travelling to Red Moon Pack for my mother's funeral and her mate was away helping protect another pack. She was ambushed on the way and I found her car abandoned on the side of the road shortly after the funeral. As I was checking it out I was apprehended by 3 hunters, i was injected with something to prevent me communicating with my wolf. They showed me a photo of Bethany, my sister, and she was tied up and unconscious. If I did what they asked she would be returned" he cries. "That was years ago?" Nova asks shocked.

"They continued to ask things of me and like a fool I followed" he says quietly.

"And Bethany?" Nova asks quietly.

"I haven't seen her since a week prior to her being taken" he whispers.

"How often do they contact you?" Nova asks.

"There is no pattern" he admits.

"Have you ever contacted them?" Nova probs. After a moment of silence Nova cocks her head, "I thought you'd have learnt this by now."

Seeing his face fill with horror she lifts her hand and extends her claws before holding them up and admiring them, "amazing really isn't it? Something this deadly is hidden away in our bodies." Without giving him the chance to reply she slices a deep cut from his shoulder diagonally across his chest before repeating on the other side forming a large X as it begins to drip with blood.

"She's magnificent" Zeus purrs as I can't help but agree. Crying in pain he shakes his restraints to no avail as he growls at Nova.

"Don't you growl at me" Kia snarls to him making him shake in terror, "respect" she demands loudly making him quieten.

"I have a burner phone, hidden in my room under a floorboard of all things" he scoffs. "I used it once, when I saw you arrive today. I've never used it before as any information I had previously was not urgent enough. Elder Martin didn't tell everyone of your arrival until you were here so I had no way of informing them sooner."

"Ok" Nova says, "but I am intrigued. When I heard you talking to the witch I heard you mention a plan..tell me what it is?"

"No no" he whispers as he stares at Nova.

"Do I have to make you?" She asks taking a step towards him and grasping his chin before trailing a claw down his cheek and lightly across his neck breaking the skin.

He looks at her with horror before she huffs in annoyance and her aura pushes out once again making him submit.

"Friday morning I am supposed to ask you to just have a look at the guards training before you leave, there I would inject you with the vial I have by the phone in my room and it will make you loose your connection with your wolf for a short period of time. In that time I'd question you to find out if you had found your father as you would be susceptible to being commanded without your wolf" he admits. "I would report my findings back using the phone and they would contact me again if I'm required."

Without a word Nova turns and steps out of the cell before looking at me silently.

"You did good" I say softly, "I expected more violence actually."

"What's the point" she says with a shrug, "he was doing this because of his sister. I doubt if they didn't have her he would be working with them. Don't you think he's suffered enough."

"You handled it perfectly" I say dropping a quick kiss on her lips before she turns to look back into his cell.

"We will find his sister, he needs to know she is safe before we decide on his fate" she says to Martin seriously.

"Why?" He asks.

"Because as much as what he's done is wrong, he must love his sister and I know what it's like to loose people. I may be ruthless when necessary but I still have a heart, he's gone against his morals for years to try and get her back" she says with a sad smile. "You're too kind" Martin says as his lips curl upwards.

"No..he's just broken already" she murmurs looking at the shell of the man in the cell.
