For the Love of a Guardian Chapter 22: Lily
I’m warm and comfortable when some rude person starts shaking me awake. “Lily, wake up, we have to get back to your room.” That jolts me awake and I shoot up. I’m outside, on the roof with Clint. I fell asleep. I’d been tossing and turning all night and on impulse, I texted him. When he brought me up here, I was ready to stomp right back to my room until he told me I was the only one he’d every brought up here. And then…..I fell asleep, almost immediately. Between Clint’s fingers in my hair and Donovan’s purring in my ear, I didn’t stand a chance. Clint is standing up, holding out his hand to me. “We have to get you back to your room before anyone notices.” “What time is it?” I ask, moving off the blanket and letting him fold it up and put it back where he stores it. “Early, but not early enough. We both fell asleep.” He gets to the slanted roof and carefully slides down before turning, reaching out for me with one hand and putting a finger to his lips. The universal sign to be qu

While I expected Calista to support Lily, it was nice to have it confirmed. As much as I want to be the one Lily goes to when she’s worried or upset, our relationship isn’t at that point yet. She needs the support of her lifelong friend. As we’re pulling up into the parking lot, Calista asks one more question. “So, Alpha Patrick knows what happened, but who is looking out for you? You’re not 18 yet.” “Alpha Patrick has taken over as my parental guardian. My mother could have come to stay with me, but I expected her to stay with my father, and she did.” “Well,” Calista says as we exit the car, “I guess I’ll just have to come to the packhouse to so we can do our homework together.” I watch as she wraps her arm around Lily’s shoulders, and they begin walking to the school entrance. Anders and I walk behind them, almost in a protective stance. I’m not sure what look we have on our faces, but no one approaches us as we walk inside. We split off to go to our lockers. I can see that Lily

Dinner was strange. First, I don’t usually eat in the packhouse. Since my parents have their own house, we usually eat there unless there is a pack event. But Clint insisted that I eat with him and Anders, which meant that I am sitting with all the ranked wolves. If people hadn’t noticed that I had moved to the packhouse before, they certainly notice that I am getting special treatment by eating with our ranked members. When I sit, Luna Olivia and Beta Naomi turn their attention to me. “Lily, dear, how have you settled into your room? Do you have everything you need?” Luna Olivia turned to me. “Oh, Alpha Patrick had my things brought over today. I haven’t checked but I should have everything I need. Thank you.” “If not, please let me know, or Naomi can help you. You are closer to her room if it’s something urgent.” “Thank you both, I really appreciate it. I don’t want to be a burden.” “I was thinking it was nice to have another she-wolf at this table.” Beta Naomi whispers so only

As Calista collects herself, she looks from Lily to me. “This is why. This is why you are spending so much time together.” “Yes.” Lily says to her. I move to Lily, standing beside her. “I’m going to be training Lily and making sure that she is safe. But you know what this means, Calista, especially in light of what we know about her father.” Her eyes go from me to Lily. “You must have been terrified this weekend.” Lily takes a step toward Calista, just as the door swings open. I move to block Lily from whoever is walking in as Andra is still shining in her eyes. “I thought I was clear about the door staying open." Patrick says, walking in. "I’m sorry Alpha, it’s my fault.” Lily says, not turning around. “I needed to show Calista something private.” She turns, showing Andra in her eyes. Patrick turns, closing the door. “Calista, this is a lot of information and it’s dangerous for Lily if this information gets out. I expect that what she has shown you here will stay in this room.”

He kissed me. I watch as he moves away from my window, but I’m so stunned, I can’t move for a moment. When I do, it’s to bring my fingers to my lips. The moment his lips touched mine, it sent a zing through my entire body. I can still feel my lips tingling. I shake my head, getting my thoughts in order and begin changing for our training session. I’m nervous about seeing him, but when I run into him on the stairs, it’s the same as yesterday. He acts like we didn’t just see each other a few minutes ago or sleep together on the roof. I wasn’t sure about texting him again last night, but I was glad I did. Lying in bed alone, I kept thinking about my father, my mother not reaching out to me and Alpha Mahli and what would have happened if he had realized I was a Guardian. Donovan’s purring helps me to sleep well, even on the roof, and I feel more refreshed today than I did yesterday. When we get outside, Clint tells me the plan as we head to the forest. “This morning we’re going to wor

Fuck! I hadn’t meant to scare her. I hadn’t meant to lose control and kiss her like that. But, as soon as I tasted the delicious orange and ginger flavor of her lips, I was lost. And then, when she moaned, holding on to me as if I was her lifeline, I wanted nothing more than to take her, claim her as my mate, leave my mark on her neck so everyone will know she’s mine. ‘At least she’ll smell like us for another day or two.’ Donovan says. ‘Not helpful if she won’t talk to us.’ I retort. ‘She will. She wants to train and be stronger.’ ‘I want to spend time with her doing things other than training.’ ‘Isn’t that what got us into this mess in the first place?’ My snarky wolf says. I grab my shorts and quickly put them on, picking up Lily’s clothes as well. I jog back to the packhouse, sneaking in the omega entrance, before rushing upstairs, hoping no one sees me. I get to my room, setting Lily’s clothes on a chair before taking a quick shower. I get dressed hurriedly before rushing do

Clint gave me his word as a Guardian. Again. This time it was about wanting to kiss me. I wish it didn’t make my heart flutter, but it did. I still hardened my heart and told him, basically, that I didn’t believe him, until he gave me his word. After that, all I could think about was kissing him again. So, before he left for the night, I did. Now, as I lay in bed, I want nothing more than to text him and go to the roof with him. But what if he thinks that kiss gives him an opening to push for more. I’m not ready for that, and I still don’t trust him completely. At least not in a relationship. As a Guardian and as my trainer, I trust him implicitly. I go sit by my window, opening it to smell the night air, when it occurs to me. I don’t need to text him to sleep on the roof. I can just do it. And secretly, I know I’ll be able to sleep because the blankets will smell like him. I climb out of my window, closing the window behind me before I begin to shimmy over to the where I can get
For the Love of a Guardian Chapter 29: Clint
It took me forever to fall asleep last night. My dick was so hard after kissing Lily that I couldn’t get comfortable and with her laying on my chest, her scent surrounding me, and my inability to do anything about it, it took over an hour for my hard on to go away. We had a good training session and after breakfast I’m on my way to get ready for school when Patrick mind links me to meet him in his office. I knock before walking in and sitting across from him. “Good morning, Clint.” “Good morning, Patrick.” He’s not looking at me, he’s looking at some paperwork on his desk. “Got plans for Saturday night?” Damn, he’s got a job for me, and I was hoping to get Lily to go out with me. “No, but I’m hoping to make plans. What did you need.” “I need you on guard duty.” “How long?” “Probably most of the night.” I sigh. “Anders?” “Not this time.” He says, finally looking up at me. I hear a knock and Anders comes in. “Hey, what’s up.” He says before falling into the seat beside me.
