Chapter 21
History Nova POV: As we reach the forest line everyone separates to strip their clothes before shifting, I wander behind a large tree with Jax following close behind. Turning to him I stare into his eyes as I slowly lift the top over my head and undo my bra leaving my breasts on show with my n*****s hardening in the fresh air. I step out my shorts leaving myself bare in front of him, hearing him growl lightly as his eyes flicker over my form, he quickly strips out of his clothes his eyes dark. I glance down and see his quickly hardening member making me bite my lip and wink at him quickly, before stepping back with a grin and shifting to Kia quickly making him huff out a laugh as Kia runs out from behind the tree. Seeing Reed she bounds forward licking his face to show she’s missed him, he rubs his face into her neck gently purring in greeting. As Kia stands proudly looking around we see Axtons wolf Rex hesitantly stepping towards us, staring down at him for a moment we then hear Zeus pad out from the tree and she turns her head away from Rex wagging her tail at Zeus. Padding to meet him they join heads softly as they nudge each other rubbing their b*dy’s closely together. Rex drops his head pawing at the ground showing slight distress at what he sees and turns away from Roses scraggly brown wolf who walks up beside him. Zeus let’s out a loud howl as the others join us and breaks into a fast run leading us towards the meeting place. After 20 minutes of running Zeus slows to a stop gesturing towards some trees indicating everyone to shift and get back into their clothes they carried in their mouths. Slipping behind the trees we all get dressed quickly as curiosity towards the imminent meeting grows. Stepping out everyone gathers together with Jaxs hand on the small of my back keeping me close to him. “He will be here any minute” Jax informs everyone as we wait patiently.
“Zeus and Kia seem closer” he links me whilst we take a seat on the ground enjoying the warm sun. “They do don’t they” I agree, “Kia adores him.” 1/6 With that he smiles before leaning over and brushing a lock of my hair away from my eyes, “better” he whispers looking at me clearly
Treach over to squeeze his hand as I tilt my head towards the sky but not before I see Axton staring at us with hurt across his features and Rose staring at me with hatred clear in her eyes. “Ready?” I hear Laurence nak as he stands looking towards the far side of the small clearing. “Always” hear Jax agree standing up, he reaches his hand down to help me stand up being the gentleman that he is. Everyb*dy follows suit and comes to stand alongside us as 5 large brown wolves and 1 tall muscular brown haired man walk out from the bushes. Gazing at him I get a sense of familiarity but taking in his appearance of a tanned b*dy littered in scars and his bright blue eyes I cannot explain it. “Good morning Beta Kingsley” Jax says clearly reaching a hand out to shake the man’s calloused one. “Good morning Alpha Jax” he replies, “thank you for organising this meeting.” “My pleasure. As you can see I have gathered Alpha Brent who you have met before” hearing that the man named Kingsley reaches his hand out to shake Brent’s outstretched one, “and I have also brought along Alpha Axton and his new Luna Rose from the White Mountain Pack for you to meet.” “Good morning Alpha Axton” Kingsley says shaking his hand also. He turns his attention back to Jax ignoring Rose as he does so. Kingsley takes in Laurence and Theo next to him and nods in greeting before his eyes settle on mine. “And who do we have here?” He asks softly looking at me. “Good afternoon Beta Kingsley” I gently say, “I am Nova.” “The Nova?” He enquired with a c****d brow. Laughing awkwardly I lift my hands in a show of acceptance, “I am the ex-Luna of the White Mountain© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Pack, I have previously reached out to you to try and discuss what you are after.” History “It’s a pleasure to finally meet you Nova” he says with sincerity clear in his voice. Smiling graciously I look back to Jax shifting the attention from myself, “I thought I would let you know Beta that the packs in attendance today have all looked into their pack history’s to see if we have had any families under the name Prince, unfortunately no packs have. The Moonbeam Pack unfortunately couldn’t make it today however they assured me they also had no history of a Prince family residing in their territory’s.” Hearing that information I see pain flicker across Kingsleys face momentarily before. he hides it behind an expressionless mask. “Thank you for enquiring Alpha Jax, I appreciate the effort in which you have gone to.” “I’m aware it may be overstepping our boundaries but after the show of aggression. on the White Mountain Pack we were wondering if you could explain why the Rogue. Beta was looking for Athena Prince?” Jax questioned. With a deep sigh Kingsley looked away before turning his bright gaze back to Jax and myself, “the aggression was not part of the agreement. Unfortunately we could not be in 4 places at once so another segment of the Rogue Pack offered to patrol the White Mountain Pack borders. I strictly ordered no aggression however they broke that order. I would like to extend my apologies to you whilst you are here Alpha Axton, I assure you I meant no harm” he informs us shifting his gaze to Axton. “Is that why they were killed?” I ask quietly. His unwavering gaze moves to meet mine as he nods slowly, “all rogues who wish to be a part of this pack take an oath to cause no unreasonable harm amongst other things. We have a pack witch who creates a binding spell, if they break their oaths they die. It is brutal but it is the only way of order within the Rogues. It also helps us realise who is turning feral and who is not.”
I nod in understanding before Jax speaks up again, “so are we to understand your pack runs like ours?” “Yes it does, I wish no harm to one’s that are undeserving and I hope that I am able to show that not all Rogues mean harm. There are some of us who are Rogues through no fault of their own” he explains. “And Athena Prince?” Jax probes. 1916 “It may help if I explain my history Kingsley begins. Making sure everyone in attendance nods in agreement he continues, “my fated mate was a human. It is rare but it does happen, unfortunately she was the daughter of hunter. She was aware of our species and she most definitely didn’t agree with her parents lifestyle or decisions. She left her parents at the age of 14 and was adopted by a family friend, she met me aged 21 and I was 25. We had some blissful years together and I introduced her to my pack where she settled into her role well and was loved by everyone. One day we were out running in the woods and we were attacked by a group of hunters, two of which were her parents” his eyes turned downcast at the memory. “It was a horrible fight and her parents ended up threatening her with her life if she continued to defy them and everything they stood for. My mate stood by me that day and we managed to escape with a few others. Over the next year she continuously got horrible letters sent to her in the post at work with threats from her parents, she was harassed at her work day in day out as she continued a role in finance alongside her pack duties so she had to make the decision to stay on pack lands and work at the local hospital. Then one day she came home and she was torn, she was both over the moon and terrified, once speaking to her she told me she was pregnant with my pup. I of course was overjoyed but I understood that if her parents ever found out then none of us would be safe” he continued. “So we disappeared, we relocated away from the risk of hunters and settled into a new location. We had our pup and she was the most magnificent creation to grace our lives. For a few short days everything was perfect, but after 2 weeks her parents. found us. I ended up being separated from Lizzie and my pup and I told her to do anything she could to keep themselves safe. I led the hunters
away from them, or at least I thought I had. Her father followed them both, he almost caught them the night before I lost them both. She rang me at the time and was beside herself, the only option she had was to give our pup up.” “Athena Prince is my lost daughter, her mother sacrificed herself to protect her and I gave an oath I would find her and I will never give up” he ends with conviction. I pause slightly at his words as the sense of familiarity grows stronger, seeing Jax dart a look at me I continue to stare at Kingsley. You’re not a Beta I say once I realised the power excluding from him as he told us his truth. He laughs lightly before looking at me again, no. I’m not.” “But you’re not an Alpha” I say slowly He continues to look at me without saying a word for a few moments. “Nova yes? I think it could all be explained if you saw my wolf he murmurs quietly. As he steps back behind some bushes to strip Jax links me quickly, “Nova that power.“ “Ive sensed that power on one person before. “Laurence links me at the same time whilst staring at me. As we hear the bushes rustle I lift my head to look up from where I’d been studying the ground to make eye contact with a magnificent 10ft white wolf with rippling muscles and shiny fur. His bright blue eyes bore into mine as he walked to face me before sitting and bowing slightly. Looking down I see the birthmark showing through his fur of a moon on his right front paw, I gasp looking up at him before grasping Jaxs hand in mine as I hear him make a quick intake of air as he makes the same realisation I do. “Nova?” I hear Jax ask as he brings me into his side, “are you ok?” I can hear the concern in his voice but all I can do is stare at the magnificent wolf in front of me. After a few more minutes of silence as we study one another the Wolf dips his head once again before padding back behind the bushes for Kingsley to shift.
“Nova that Wolf looks like Kia..” Thear Axton say quietly in amazement from my left, glancing at Luca I see him looking at me with understanding showing in his eyes, stepping forward he gives me a quick squeeze of my shoulder as he stands behind me in support. As Kingsley walks out I look at him through watery eyes as he holds my gaze “Can someone please explain?” Alpha Brent asks looking around in confusion. Kingsley stops in front of me as he holds his hand out to me his eyes asking silent permission, with a slight nod he pulls me into his arms burying his head in my neck 516 History scenting me as the so bs finally escape my throat making me b*dy shake. “My daughter..Athena” he whispers stepping back and looking at me with wonder.
