Prologue
**This book is a prequel to the Guardians Trilogy. However, while it starts before the first book in the Trilogy and can be read as a stand alone, it will span the timeframe of both Books 1 and 2. This book will contain spoilers and references discussed in the other books. It is recommended that you first read Book 1, The Broken Warrior’s Daughter, and Book 2, Alpha’s Guardian Angel before reading this book.
I don’t know when I fell in love with Clint Nelson. For years, I thought of him as an egotistical man who believed he was the Goddess’s gift to women. He isn’t completely wrong. He is a gorgeous man, with wavy, dark brown hair and emerald green eyes that stand out like jewels on his tanned, chiseled face. His body looks more like it was carved from stone than muscle, and I would know, just like every other she-wolf in our pack, I’ve had a good look at what he's packing. He isn’t exactly shy and is definitely not self-conscious about the way he looks.
If being the best friend of our future Alpha wasn’t enough, he is also a Guardian. For as long as werewolves can remember, there have only ever been two Guardians at one time. They are strong, powerful wolves and are coveted by packs and their Alphas. It worked out that Clint and his wolf, Donovan, were born as a male and were already friends with our future Alpha. It meant that he would be the Guardian for Anders, our Alpha heir, when he takes over as the Alpha of our pack. Because of their friendship and Clint’s strength, it was already planned that he’d become Alpha Anders' Beta. But now, he will be his Guardian, protecting him as if he’s Anders' own personal bodyguard.
Female Guardians are not always as lucky as Clint. Rumors have spread that female Guardians have been forced into mate bonds with their pack’s Alphas. Because of the strength they bring to the pack, Alphas are unwilling to let the Guardians leave if their fated mates are in other packs. Forcing a Guardian into a mate bond ensures that the Guardian will protect their Alpha with their life while increasing the overall strength and power of the pack.
But none of that mattered to me. I have wanted to be a warrior since I got my wolf, Andra, at age 10. My parents are not ranked wolves but I can be the strongest she-wolf possible. I can ensure that I make myself into the strongest wolf possible, so when I find my mate, I know he will not only be proud to have me as his mate, but I’ll also strengthen his pack if he is from another pack. I have earned the respect of the warriors in our pack, The Canyon Ridge Pack, and even some other nearby packs have taken notice of my strength.
All of that changes when I wake up one day in the middle of my 17th year and my eyes glow gold. A Guardian had died and now, Andra and I have the reincarnated Guardian spirit.
My life is about to change forever, but I'm not sure it's for the better.

For the Love of a Guardian Author's Note
Hello everyone, Thank you for taking this journey with me. As many of you may have read, Lily was adamant that I tell her story. And while it took longer in the beginning than I expected, I hope you got to see what a great person she is. Many of you have asked for a continuation of the series and your wish is granted! My first book about the Guardian's children, Shattered Bonds, is out now. This is Richie and Emlyn's story but will touch on many of the Guardian children as they have all grown up together. You will also get glimpses of Lily's story, which is scheduled to be the second book in the series and Alexander's, or Xander as he's called by his friends and family. Xander's book is scheduled to be third and Leana's book is scheduled to be fourth. I'm trying not to get far ahead of myself, my brain starts writing books long before I'm ready to put them on paper. But, I do have a tentative story line for Xander and Leana and Lily's book has already start writing itself in my head.

We watch as Angel and Cara explain the best that they can what Grace did to save the packs. She probably could have done it on her own, but I was concerned for her child. Having whatever strength she pulled from everyone was great, but she wasn’t reserving any for herself. She would have given everything to save them. That is something I understand very well. I would have done the same in her position. But Clint and I had the ability to save her, to make sure that she had enough reserves to survive. “You were never meant to be this strong.” Selene says, coming up behind us as we watch everyone wakes up, or, come back to life, because that's really what they are doing. They were dead and now they are alive. “What do you mean?” I ask her. “I created the Guardians to strengthen the packs. You were always meant to find your fated mates and birth a new generation of stronger wolves. I guess I should have known that the Alphas would not want to part with the strength and power that the Gu

At first, when the vampire sank his teeth into my neck, I fought. I probably could have defeated him, even in my disadvantaged state. But then, I realized if I died, I’d be with my Lily bud. I feel my tether to everyone in my life break and I tell Lily I’m coming as everything goes dark. When I open my eyes, I’m back in the meadow that I found myself in right after Lily died. I sit up and look around. All I care about is finding my Lily bud. I’m going to hold her and kiss her and remind her of what being my mate means. I’m happy when I realize I can stand. It takes me a moment to readjust to being able to walk again. “Look at this Donovan!” I say, wanting to share my excitement with my wolf. I’m met with silence. “Donovan?” I say, looking around like I’m going to find him in the meadow. What I find instead is my heart, my soul, the love of my life. “Mate.” She says and it makes my heart sing again. It’s just like it was that day beside the lake and I have to let her know that I st

I’ve continued to watch the life of my family. I’ve watched my daughter grow into a beautiful woman. She is not only beautiful on the outside, but she’s also beautiful on the inside. Clint has done such a great job raising her, as I knew he would. And I love that he still talks to me at night, as if I’m right beside him, which, of course, I am. I’ve watched as Cara developed a sweet romantic interest in Liam, watched while Rik finally realized who my daughter is and began laying his claim to her and I never left her side when Eli kidnapped her. Andra had snarled and snapped at him every time he came in to try and mark our daughter. Not that it made a difference, but we were there, trying to protect her. So, I was there when they went to Araphyra. Donovan wasn’t the only one that seemed to remember King Ailduin’s name. Andra sat up when they mentioned him. “Do you remember him, Andra?” She looks at me and chuffs. Her memory seems to be stronger than Donovan’s. When they arrive, Andr

For the next few years, I get into a pattern of training Cara. We train early in the morning, then while she is at school, I work on my upper body strength by building and testing the training facilities I’m building for her. It’s a work in progress, but I feel closer to Lily while I build this for our daughter. In the afternoons, I train Cara again, sometimes joining her, and then it’s dinner, homework and bed before we turn around and do it again. Cara is the absolute best daughter a parent could ever want. I don’t know if it’s because we had those years after Lily’s death where I struggled to be present, but she never tests me. She is smart, and we talk about her schoolwork, her studies, and I give her extra Guardian studies during the weekends when she’s training her endurance in the pool. The older Cara gets, the more she looks like Lily. She’s gorgeous and I’m thankful that she has listened to everything I’ve told her about the mate bond and that she’s waiting for her mate. I t

My Lily bud is always here, watching over me and Cara. It changes things for me. It makes the days easier. I have no intention of letting my mate down, so I begin to plan what needs to happen to train my daughter and make her the strongest Guardian alive. That does give me a moment of pause. Guardians are reborn, so where is Andra's Guardian spirit? I would look after her too, make sure she is safe. I need to talk to Anders about that, see if she’s popped up somewhere and I’ve just been so lost in my grief that I didn’t pay attention. The next couple of days, I make a plan to build a training ground for Cara. I make a list of all the materials I'll need and what I can do in the interim while I’m building. When I go to the store for my dinner with Anders, I grab some steaks, potatoes and green beans. I pick Cara up from school and send her to the table to do her homework while I start dinner. It’s Thursday and I have a lot to prepare before Anders arrives. “Dad, what’s going on?” Car
