The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate Novel - Chapter 143

Recognition Nova POV: I shift back instantly feeling the cool metal of the gun on my skin. "Lower the guns" I say softly without tearing my eyes from her. Cocking her head she smiles but it doesn't reach her eyes, "why on earth would I do that?" She asks in amusement. "Because if you really wanted me dead you would have shot that by now" I say raising a brow as I see her smile falter slightly at my words. Reaching out I sift through her emotions and what stands out the strongest is confusion.

"You want to kill me but you don't know why" I state softly as I see Jax frozen beside me, his eyes shifting with that of Zeus as he holds back on his natural instinct to attack. Seeing her shake her head slightly I c**k my head, "why do you want to kill me?" "Because you are the cause of all this, the reason it all began" she scowls at me. "Not true" Jax growls in defense of me as I reach my hand out to grasp his arm showing it's alright. "He's right mum, that's not true" I say as she looks at me with hate filled eyes.

"They were after you and dad before I was even born..how can you say I am the cause of all this?" "Not you, but who you are" she snaps back, the gun still pressed firmly against my forehead as the fight goes on around us. "That was completely out of my control and you know it" I say growling softly as my eyes narrow at her comment. "I am your daughter, the one you are meant to protect and love, yet here you are willing to kill me? Tell me mum, do you really think that's the right thing to do?

You gave me up once to protect me..where has that protection gone now?" Hearing that her eyes soften slightly, her brows furrowing as if she's trying to recollect something that's just out of reach. "What..?" She asks in confusion. "You don't remember" I whisper. "It doesn't matter" she snaps at me as her defensiveness rises once again. "Then pull the trigger" I say calmly. "Pull it and this will be over with." "NO NOVA" Jax snarls loudly as he looks at me with panic. "Don't do it please" he begs. "Shut it" my mum shouts her eyes flashing to him momentarily.

Taking advantage of the TUE 20 8 1/4 ||| O r Recognition +25 Points distraction my arm comes up quicker than she can register and before she knows it I've knocked the gun out of her hand leaving her with only one trained on Jax. "I'll shoot him" she warns me as I hear Jax huff out a laugh. "No..you won't" he says before she's knocked to the ground easily by Laurence who then proceeds to grasp the gun and pass it Jax carefully. "Stop struggling" he growls, "it's not worth it." He straddles her and locks her arms in place as she glares up at him, her small body trapped under his large frame.
