Guardian Wolf

Chapter 116

What You Deserved

Jax POV:

Watching the bike peel away I grasp Nova into my chest before k*ssing her hard and

pulling her out of shocked state. “We need to act” I say. “I have Axel going to check

on Charles and his companion as well as Alexa and hers, they didn’t notify us of the bike approaching

despite being ordered.”

“They’re not dead but something’s happened, their pack tether is there but faint.”

Nova mumbles her eyes dazed as she speaks absentmindedly whilst staring after her

disappearing mum. “We need to get them home asap” she whispers brokenly.

“My brothers will manage that, we are going to trail your grandfather” I order as we

begin to run back to the cars. “I know it’s shocking seeing your mum..like that. But we

can’t miss this opportunity” I grimace.

Hearing that Novas face sets in determination and pride swells inside me. “I know. I’ll

link Alex and we can follow him and Kingsley.”

“That’s my Luna” I say as we leap over the nearby fence and spring to the tree line.

Reaching the car we were using Nova jumps in the drivers seat making me hesitate

for a moment before shrugging it off and jumping in.

“Keys” she demands holding her hand out as I pass them over to her. “Alex can link

me it makes sense for me to drive.”

“I get it” I reassure her. “Just concentrate and be safe, can vurd

not link us all?”

Hearing that she c***s a brow at me and smirks, “I can drive. And no I don’t think so, it seems to just be

something Kia can do. Wait..you linked Alex and my dad?”

“I did..I’ve never been able to mindlink anyone outside the pack before so that’s new, I

also didn’t think about it. I’ve also never seen you drive” I laugh slightly nervously as the engine roars to

life and she peels off from where we were parked with a powerful

wheel spin.

“Well you’re about to” she replies back sassily as she throws the car round a corner

and floors it.

“It’s a good thing I trust you so much” I say as I clutch the handle, my knuckles turning

white. Handling the car with ease she simply smirks at me as she concentrates on

following Alex’s instructions. After a few moments she slows down to a less noticeable speed and up

ahead I spot the car Alex and Kingsley are in.

“So your dad couldn’t sense your mum?” I check.

“No, and to be honest neither could I. I didn’t have that family tether with her as I do

with others” Nova admits. “But dad should have been able to detect his mates scent

easily especially after so long apart and the fact that he couldn’t means she has definitely been

conditioned and exposed to all sorts of magic. Drake can’t have

sensed her.”

“I wonder how she knew we were there” I wonder.

“I don’t think anyone else did” Nova says watching Alex’s car carefully. “No one else. showed any sign

of having an elevated heart rate or paid too much attention to the Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

garage.”

“Maybe she feels the family bond with you still” I suggest.

“I thought that” she admits, “but why didn’t she tell her father.”

“She is still bonded to your dad, you’re her daughter. Maybe despite being conditioned

a small part of her still wants to keep you safe” I say quietly.

“Maybe” she murmurs. “But she looked cold, there was no love in her eyes, no

emotion.”

“No there wasn’t” I agree sadly.

Seeing Alex’s car start to slow down ahead of us after driving down a country lane for

a few minutes he pulls to a stop. We quickly park behind him before he jumps out. running to the car.

“I have no idea where they went” he says frantically looking around.

“How?” I ask in anger.

“They literally disappeared” he says looking around lost. “f**k” he shouts slamming a fist on our bonnet

and denting it in the process.

“I can’t scent anything” Nova says looking around also. Jumping out I take a deep. breath and growl as

neither can I.

“Where have they gone?” I growl.

“Not far” a voice calls out before Charles steps out of the shadows of the looming.

forest.

“Charles” Nova growls loudly.

“Athena” he says with a sardonic smile. “It’s about time I met my granddaughter.”

Nova stays silent before taking a menacing step forward then abruptly halting.

“What the f**k” she whispers as she hears the same as me.

“Who is with you?” She calls as I c**k my head listening to the hundreds of heartbeats.

growing in volume.

Charles simply looks at her for a moment as the heartbeats continue to grow closer before slowly

raising his hand and hundreds of pairs of red eyes snap open as rogues slowly slink forward from the

forest behind him.

“The witch has masked their scent” I growl in fury. “It’s a set up.”

“Oh that it is dear Alpha® Charles chuckles slowly. “You think I didn’t

“How?” I shout.

“I’m sure you know I have more than just human supporters now” Charles says.

casually stepping forward. Hearing Theo pull up behind us before leaping from the

car I grin.

“You might, but we have something you want” I smirk. “Or rather someone..”

“Caroline” he says calmly.

“Theo get her” I order as Kingsley finally eases himself out of the car.

“Ah..a family reunion” Charles calls spreading his arms wide. “It’s about time.”

Kingsley comes to stand beside us staying silent as his eyes focus on Charles’s every move. Hearing

Theo drag Caroline to us I grin as Charles’s face momentarily slips into

one of concern.

“Give her to me and just this once I’ll let you go” Charles says quietly as we all listen to

his every word.

“Send the rogues away then I say just as calmly.

“You know I can’t do that until I have Caroline Alpha” he says raising a brow at me.

*Charles you really went to risk it all for her?” Kingsley says with a cold chuckle. “You’ve not cared for

where she has been for the last 19 months…why now?”

“Oh she stayed there because I wanted her to be, she always knew that would be the case’ Charles

laughs throwing his head back. “But now Athena and you have been brought together I think it’s time

Caroline came home.”

“He knew only my dad could have identified Caroline, he must have known with the tracker as soon as

we moved her that something was up” Nova links me without taking her eyes off of Charles.

“And if we say no?” I ask Charles without moving an inch.

“Then these rogues will attack you, and I can assure you that even with two Guardian Wolves you

won’t stand a chance” he says coldly gesturing as the rogues continue to advance to alongside him.

“There’s hundreds of them” Alex says aghast. “There is 10 of us..”

“I know” I say silently cursing.

“Don’t let him take Caroline” Nova links me before speaking up and stepping forward

once more.

“No” she says simply as Charles’s face hardens and his eyes narrow.

“No?” He repeats.

“No” she confirms, “you will not get Caroline.”

“And why is that?” He asks amused.

“How about because of the damage and torment you have caused my biological

parents, the fact you hurt someone I consider a sister, you wanted me dead when I

was only a baby” Nova snarls fury clear in her eyes. “I could list so many reasons

why.”

“You would hurt your own mother by stopping her from seeing her mother after

almost 2 years apart?’ Charles asks baiting Nova.

O

What You Deserved

Laughing lifelessly Nova shakes her head. “What a hypocrite you are Charles.

Because of you my mother was killed, her heart ripped from her chest before I could. even say

goodbye. So your attempt at making me feel guilty will not work.”

With that Charles’s eyes brighten, “oh Athena, your mother is very much alive. It thought you’d realise.”

“I saw her..but at this point she is no more than someone I share blood with, I have spent no more than

2 weeks with her because of you. 2 weeks I don’t remember” she growls. “The lady I saw today was no

mother of mine, but the one that for 23 years. cared for me, loved me and eventually died for me.. that

lady I do consider my mother, and I will never get her back” she says in a broken whisper as I feel her

loss seep through the bond.

“So you aren’t thankful for what my daughter did for you?” Charles asks.

“Of course I am, she saved my life. But I am certain that lady who I saw today is nothing like who she

used to be, she isn’t someone I can call my mother” Nova says. calmly despite the strong waves of

anguish and heartbreak I feel from her at those

words. “So your attempt to guilt me like I said, will not work.”

Shooting her dad a look I see the unspoken communication between then before

Charles roars “ATTACKKK!” And the rogues spring into action.

No sooner than they start Nova stands proud and releases her full aura, “STOP” she

commands freezing all the rogues as they physically can not move. Gaping we all

stand astounded at Novas show of power.

“She won’t hold that for long” Zeus says worriedly.

“How..?” Charles asks in shock.

“Jax take Caroline, Alex, Theo and the warriors ready the cars. Dad..you know what to

do” she links us all and we quickly do as she orders.

“Because Charles, you have greatly underestimated me” she snarls looking him clearly in the eye.

Seeing her b*dy start to shake from the power of her command as

her strength begins to fade I pass Caroline to a waiting Kingsley and step forward to

provide Nova my strength. Grasping her shoulders with my hands I hold her up and

k*ss her head softly.

“I’m here” I whisper in her ear as I feel my strength pulse down the bond.

“You have made me experience loss like no other, I lost the only parents who were there for me

growing up because you ripped my biological ones away from me..so now it’s your turn to suffer” she

managed to shout just loud enough for Charles to hear as his face contorts to panic.

“CAROLINE” he screams as we turn to a waiting Kingsley and he slits her throat with one extended

claw.

“You got what you deserved you b***h he whispers into her ear as blood spurts from her, the life quickly

fading from her eyes. Seeing Alex, Theo and a warrior fling the doors open Kingsley drops Caroline’s

b*dy and with a cold accomplished smirk he jumps into my car.

With a final push Nova holds her head high and calls “ROGUES. RETREAT!” With that they step back

and begin to disappear from view before her eyes roll back and she slumps to the grounds.

“Nova..NOVA” I cry as I lift her to the car and slam the door behind me. Hearing her

breathing steady but faint I sense Kia sleeping and turn as the cars pull away leaving

a lone stranded Charles in the middle of the forest line.

“Floor it” I instruct as I see the witch step out beside him. “We need to go..NOW” I roar as we speed

away leaving them in the dust.

“Theo call Laurence, have the pack hospital ready for Nova. She’s used too much

strength” I link quietly as I hold her close to me.

“Yes Alpha” he replies instantly.

Seeing Kingsleys eyes on Nova in the mirror I shake my head at him, “I don’t know

how she did that but because of her we lived.”

“She’s incredible” he whispers.
