The Guardian Marvel Novels & Stories

“A great evil rose. A darkness older than memory itself. And five Guardians stood against it.” Gasps rippled through the crowd. All eyes turned to the group near the front—Cheyenne, Nalia, Tora, Chelsea, and Isolde. The Guardians. Their Guardians. “They won. We won. The world is safe—because of them.” The grounds erupted in cheers. Howls rang out, fists raised high, pups leapt into the air. It was a rare, raw moment of pure pride and relief. Ben let them have it—for a few beats—then raised his hand again.

He began, "In the blood moon, the Supreme Alpha's lose all of their strength and become incapable of protecting themselves. The only remedy for that is if his guardian is present but I'm not fortunate enough to have a guardian." "Why didn't you say this?" Xavier now looked concerned. "I never knew I'd experience the blood moon as Father and grandfather didn't so I thought that'll be the same for me." He replied. "What's this guardian thingy?" Hailey chimed in with a question. "All Supreme Alpha's have a guardian and they protect them from any form of danger." Carter replied. "So why don't you have any?" She questioned further and Carter darted his eyes to Xavier, seeking for help.

My breast was pointing in invitation to him while the water coated my womanhood. "That wasn't mine!" I disputed unpleasantly but he didn't care about my complaint as he grabbed my full left breast in his hand. He jerked it up and down and did the same with the other one. "I won't take advantage of you without your permission. I will try to patch the confusion in your head. I have done many bad things but I do not have a hand in the death of your parents. Our lives were sealed when your parents betrothed you to me. I am your guardian, your mate, and the most important person in your life at the moment. You are my possession and you must care about losing me " he speaks every word with a sense

“I will protect Charlotte with my life. She’s mine. An attack on her will be considered an attack on me.” Adam narrows his eyes at me. “Should I take that as a warning?”

The Good Samaritan beside her stood up and waved his arms frantically at the ambulance and fire trucks pulling into the lot. “Over here!” he cried out. “She’s hurt!” “Robert,” she croaked, looking up at the man who had helped her and noticing he was wearing a mall security uniform. “Where’s Robert?” The guard looked down at her, his expression full of concern, and Shannon squinted to try to see his lips better so she could understand the answer. “I don’t know.” I have to find him, her brain screamed. The man tried to get her to remain where she was and wait for the approaching EMTs, but she shook him off.

“Not and love you. Not and survive. We have to stay here. Together.” Malik pressed his forehead to mine. “Then we’ll build here. Together. And we will protect both worlds, because that’s what we are now. Not just lovers, not just warriors. Guardians.” The mark pulsed brighter, hotter. I closed my eyes and let it flood through me, tendrils lashing outward, fusing with the shadows, the stone, the molten rivers. My body hummed, alive with every heartbeat of the underworld, every pulse of Malik’s power. I felt invincible.

~∆~ Rain's POV ~∆~ The locker room hums with pre-game energy, but I can barely focus on Coach Tom's talk. My mind keeps drifting to everything Luna revealed last night. I can't wrap my head around my sister being a guardian, and there was Ethan, and most importantly, about Mariah being a descendant of the seven guardians. That's freaking me out. If others knew... "Cross! You listening?" Coach Tom barks, making me snap back to attention.

“My wolves would essentially be binding themselves to your pack forever?” “Not to our pack specifically,” Maren clarified. “To the guardian who maintains the ward. Who happens to be one of our own, but whose protection extends to all who accept the bonds.” “May we meet this guardian?” Brennan asked. “Understand who we would be binding ourselves to?” Rowan exchanged glances with the council members. “That is. complicated,” he said. “The guardian exists in a state difficult to explain. She is present everywhere within the warded territory but cannot manifest physically. Communication happens through the bonds themselves or through shared dreams.”

"I just want five minutes where I don't feel like I’m being watched!" "He isn't there to listen to your thoughts, Jessica," my father said firmly, his Alpha voice starting to edge in. "He’s a guard. He’s there to protect, nothing more. Kaelen, go." I turned my head and looked at Kaelen. He was standing like a statue with that same blank expression I hated. He was looking at a spot on the wall three inches to the left of my head. He wouldn't even give me the satisfaction of a glance.

It was beating fast—just as fast and just as wild as mine. “I still can’t believe this,” I whispered, still lost in awe and wonder, barely able to grasp the reality of what was happening. “It feels like a dream, something too beautiful and too painful to be real. I can’t believe that a guardian like you—someone meant to watch over from afar, someone bound by duty and rules—fell… all because of a forbidden love with a human like me.” My words made him tighten his arms around me, pulling me even closer as if he was afraid I might disappear if he let go even a little.
