Chapter 10: Clint
Anders asked me earlier to find another way to get Lily home so he could have some alone time with Calista. Since I didn’t bring my car, I decided that a ‘warm up’ walk home would have to do. But in truth, I’m glad to have the time alone with Lily too. I feel her body stiffen as we walk out of the school. Yes, I’m making a statement. I don’t really care if everyone knows that I’m interested in Lily. In a couple of months, they’ll all know that she’s my mate. Until then, I could care less what they think. I decide to keep the conversation focused on our sparring session today. “So, tell me where you think your strengths and weaknesses are in your training?” I have my own ideas based on the obstacle course yesterday, but I want to know what her thoughts are. As we walk, I realize she’s very aware of her strengths and weaknesses. It’s not always something that warriors recognize or are willing to discuss about themselves. They usually can identify their strengths but not their weakness

Chapter 11: Lily
I can’t believe he was going to kiss me! Not just kiss me, but kiss me in front of every warrior in our pack? Not happening. I might have kneed him a little harder than I intended. It was a knee-jerk (ha ha) reaction and I know it hurt. At least he’ll think twice before trying to kiss me again. And he’s a Guardian. I’m sure he’ll heal and won’t have any lasting effects that might keep him and his future mate from having pups. At least, I hope so. I have nothing against his future mate. ‘Do you want to risk a run, Andra? It’s possible that Donovan may come looking for you again.’ ‘Yes. I need to train, and I don’t mind Donovan. Maybe he can catch me again and lick my muzzle while he pins me to the ground.” She purrs in my head. Thankfully Donovan seems to care more about waiting for his mate than my wolf does. ‘I didn’t say I wouldn’t wait for our mate. I just said I wouldn’t mind Donovan pinning me to the ground. There’s a difference.’ She says, huffing at me. ‘Whatever.’ I tell h

Chapter 12: Clint
If Aaron Raines thinks he’s going to keep me from my mate, he has another thing coming. He may not know she’s my mate, but every other father in this pack would be thrilled that I wanted to take their daughter out. I wait until I hear the shower running before grabbing a pair of shorts hidden in the trees for when we shift and going to her front door. I knock, waiting. When the door opens, it’s her father. “Mr. Raines.” He steps outside, closing the door. “Clint Nelson. What are you doing here?” “I wanted to speak to you about dating your daughter.” “Stay away from my daughter.” He says, turning around and slamming the door in my face. What the…? As soon as I leave, I go to find Anders. I find him in his room. I don’t bother with pleasantries. “I need your help.” He stands up, seeing that I’m irritated, pacing in his room. “Whatever you need Clint.” He says, coming to put a hand on my shoulder, trying to calm me down. “Aaron Raines doesn’t want Lily going out with me.” I can s

Chapter 13: Lily
I probably shouldn’t have laughed so much at Clint. But here he is, this Guardian of Alphas, looking like a big tomato. He did seem very sincere when he said he wanted my forgiveness. I’m finding it harder and harder to resist him. Yesterday at training, I thought we would train together again, but my father pulled me in as his training partner and Clint didn’t fight it. Then afterward, my father forbid me from letting Andra train. This morning, however, my father couldn’t find a way to keep me away from driving with Clint and Anders without making it obvious to our future Alpha that he was trying to keep me away from Clint. Something is off with my dad. I’m not sure what’s going on, but his response to me seeing Clint is excessive and not in line with other times that I’ve been asked out on dates. Even more strange, my father is going to visit another Alpha over the weekend and he’s insisting that I go. I told him I had plans Friday night, so we’re going Saturday and coming back earl

Chapter 14: Clint
I almost lost my shit when I saw Andra pinned to the ground by one wolf with another wolf coming to attack her. My Guardian’s need to protect Anders was over-ruled by my mate bond's need to protect Andra. Thankfully, I didn’t have to chose one over the other. Anders wasn’t in any danger and Lily needed my help. When we get inside, Patrick tells us that we’re going after the rogues. He has trackers hunting them now, but he wants to take them out. It was a large group that attacked, and Beta Calvin will stay behind to interrogate the rogues that were captured and find out why they decided to attack us. Patrick tells us to plan to be gone for the weekend and I’m not thrilled. Something is off with Aaron taking Lily to the Blue River Pack. I know that Alpha is looking for a mate, and Lily is more than worthy of being mated to an Alpha. But there’s got to be more to it than that. Lily is still underage and wouldn’t be able to recognize her mate. I should know, since I AM her mate. I aske

Chapter 15: Lily
When I realized I’d gotten out of my date with Lucas because he was going on the hunt for the rogues, I decided to stay in and relax. The bite mark on my leg was sore and the doctor said it would take a day or two to heal completely. I have to admit, Clint texting me and checking on me is really sweet. I had a restless night’s sleep, my leg causing me pain every time I turn over, but I smile at my text from Clint in the morning. I didn’t realize he could be this sweet, it’s nice. ‘Yes, it is.’ My sleepy wolf says, yawning and stretching in my head. I get ready, grab my overnight bag and meet my father downstairs. We grab some coffee before heading out. Since it’s a long drive, I close my eyes and sleep for the first couple of hours before waking up and watching the changing landscape. When we get to the pack borders, my father gives our names, and we are allowed entrance. He seems to know exactly where he is going and we pull up to a lavish packhouse, bustling with activity. I step

Chapter 16: Lily
We are escorted to an empty room, with a table next to the glass overlooking a lake. There are fairy lights all around the lake, giving it a romantic feel. Not the feeling I want to have with this Alpha. Without asking me, Alpha Mahli orders for both of us. When the waiter is gone, he shifts his attention to me. “What do you know about me, Lily?” “Well, I really only know what you’ve told me today.” And that you are a terrible decorator and possibly have a small dick. But I don’t say that out loud. He reaches over and takes my hands in his. “I’m looking for a mate, someone that can be by my side, helping me to manage the day-to-day operations of the packhouse. I don’t need a strong Luna, merely one that is competent and one that can give me an heir.” He pulls my hands to his lips, kissing them, then sucking on my knuckles. I have to swallow the bile in my throat. “Your father thinks that we would be a good match. I would care for you, and you would want for nothing. You are young

Chapter 17: Clint
Lily is a Guardian. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it. When I take her in my arms, she breaks down. I’m not sure what happened while I was away, but I intend to find out. I hold her for a moment while she cries before picking her up and carrying her to a chair. Sitting down, I settle her in my lap and let her cry until she cries herself out. I can tell the moment she realizes that I’m wearing nothing but a towel, and I’m holding her in my lap. Her body tenses and I relax my arms, letting her pull back. I rub my thumbs over her cheeks and wipe her tears away. “Better?” She nods. “I’ve been waiting for you to get home all day. I didn’t….” “Shhh, I’m here now. We can figure this out together.” I was so worried about her. It encompassed all my thoughts for the last day and a half. Now, I can’t help but touch her. I tuck her hair behind her ear, sliding my fingers down her cheek. She leans into my hand. “Why don’t you start from the beginning.” I say. It’s everything I

Chapter18: Lily
While I’m mortified that Alpha Anders saw me sitting in Clint’s lap, even though nothing was happening, I’m more concerned about what is going to happen next. Now, not just one but two Alphas will know I’m a Guardian. If I had any idea where to go, I’d run. As if sensing my discomfort, Clint comes up behind me, his hands rubbing up and down my arms. “You said you trusted me, right?” He asks, turning me around to face him. “Yes.” I say quietly. “Then trust me that I won’t let anything happen to you. I won’t let Anders or Patrick force you into any kind of mate bond. Not that I think either of them will, but if it helps you feel safe, then know that I would never let that happen.” He leans in, kissing my forehead. He’s entirely too close. I can feel the heat from his chest through my clothes. I don’t know if it’s because he just had a shower, but he smells like warm apple pie, fresh from the oven. He smells like home, like my own personal happy place, and it’s making my mouth water.

Chapter 19: Clint
Donovan is thrashing around in my head so loudly that I can barely hear the conversation going on around me. The only reason he hasn’t forced the shift was Alpha Patrick’s warning that he’d send us out of the room. I’m not leaving Lily, not now that I’ve heard the entire story and know that Alpha Mahli touched what is mine. I’m disappointed that she didn’t trust me enough to tell me what was happening. I only feel slightly better knowing she waited for me to get home and came to me immediately, knowing I would help her. I turn to Patrick. “So, what do we do now? Lily is in danger, not only from this Alpha Mahli, but also from every other Alpha that finds out she is a Guardian.” He turns to Lily. “Lily, do you feel that your father will keep you safe and trust that he will take your feelings into consideration around taking a mate?” I can see Lily struggle. I’m sure she wants to say that she believes that he would keep her safe, but he’s given her trust in him quite a blow over the
