After leaving Clint, I decide to grab food and head to my room. Cali said she would join me tonight so we can talk some more. I filled her in on everything that happened this weekend and then finding Clint and Anna wrapped in each other’s arms. Cali, being the amazing friend that she is, is surrounding me in her armor and supporting me in my decision to ignore Clint. Lucas walks up behind me as I’m getting my food. “Hey Lily. So, now that I know that you are Clint aren’t together…you aren’t together, right?” I look at him over my shoulder, adding more food to my plate. “We are definitely NOT together.” “Then, I would love to take you on that date that we never got a chance to go on.” The last thing I want to do is go on a date with Lucas and I’m about to say something like that to him, when Clint walks up, acting like he still has a say in my life. His immediate dismissal of Lucas has my hackles going up. I turn and put myself between Clint and Lucas. “You don’t have a say in wh

I was still with Patrick when Lily mind linked him about going for a walk. It should be me going with her. Patrick told me I needed time to cool off, but it wasn’t working, so he took me to the indoor weight room and sparred with me until my murderous intent toward Lucas was gone, leaving me feeling empty. I went back to my room, taking a shower and trying to practice my guitar. Now, more than ever, I needed to figure out my grand gesture for Lily. One way or another, I’m going to win her back. I finally give up and decide to go look for her. I won’t get close, but I need to see her. I go out the omega’s entrance, not wanting to alert Patrick or Calvin to my plans. I catch her scent, along with Calista’s and I begin to make my way toward them. I haven’t gone far when I hear Andra’s howl for help. Donovan immediately forces the shift and we’re running toward Lily. When we get there, I recognize the scents as those lingering in the packhouse from this weekend. Alpha Mahli and his warr

His mate? Did he say I’m his mate? “How do you know?” “I’m 18. I knew the minute I saw you after my birthday. It was Monday morning, and you were straddling Lucas, defeating him in your sparring match. Donovan almost killed Lucas that day, seeing you like that.” I look at him, not sure if I believe him. “I turned 18 on a Friday. Anders and I went out all weekend looking for my mate. Little did I know that my little slip of a mate was in our pack but was underage and wouldn’t recognize me as her mate for another couple of months.” “So, the only reason you’ve been giving me attention is because I’m your mate?” “Yes and no. I was hoping I could get you to fall in love with me before you realized I was your mate. I thought I as doing a good job of it until this mess with Anna happened.” “What about me being a Guardian?” Did he fall in love with me because I’m a Guardian? He shrugs. “What about it? You hadn’t gotten your Guardian spirit when Donovan recognized you as our mate. I don

I hate it when Lily walks out of my room. A part of me worries that she wouldn’t come back. I laid all my cards on the table. I have to hope that it’s enough for her to give me a chance to prove that she’s the only woman for me. Not long after she leaves, Alpha Patrick comes in. “Clint, I was happy to hear that you awakened earlier today.” “Good afternoon, Patrick. It was good to wake up and have Lily at my side.” “She didn’t leave you. She’s the one that carried you from the battlefield to the hospital.” That’s news to me. I know she’s strong but I’m nearly a foot taller than her. “How did she manage that?” “Have you looked at your feet?” He asks, raising an eyebrow. I pull the sheets off and see that, indeed, my feet look like they’ve been drug through the mud. I chuckle before pulling the sheets back over me and shrugging. I don’t care. I’d get shot with wolfsbane every day if that’s what it takes for Lily to stop pushing me away. “Have you spoken to her yet?” I ask Patrick.

Clint is making it impossible for me not to fall for him all over again. Everything about what he’s saying seems genuine. The fact that he has me listed as his mate in his phone and my birthday is his code is….well, a bit overwhelming. I can feel my heart giving in. I close my eyes for a moment, trying to collect myself before opening them and reading Alpha Patrick’s message. “He says to meet him in his office in a half hour. Beta Calvin is bringing Anna in for an interview.” I look back up at Clint. “How do you think she got past Alpha Patrick’s command?” He’s drying himself off and as he turns, I can see that he also has bruises on his butt and legs. His are not healing as fast as mine, since Donovan is still out because of the wolfsbane. Andra pushes forward and leans down, licking the wounds on his legs and over his muscular butt. “Lily? What are you doing?” Clint’s voice is choked, and his body has gone tense. He turns and looks at me, realizing it’s Andra that has pushed fo

I am so angry at Anna that I could literally tear her apart. I was on the verge of doing just that when Lily stood in front of me. Her calming touch helped me to settle down, but it was her telling Patrick that she would let me guard her again that finally had me settling. I know that other Alphas will have heard about her by now and they will be coming for her. But I also know, if I’m with her, they won’t get to her. No one will take my mate from me. I don’t know how Lily can be so forgiving of what Anna did, but I can’t. I won’t forget that she put my mate’s life in danger. When we leave Patrick’s office, I walk her to her room. “Clint, you’re dead on your feet. Come in and lay down.” I don’t have the energy or the will to argue with her. She leaves her door cracked open and takes me to her bed, tucking me in. “What are you going to do while I sleep?” I ask. “I need to catch up on homework and then I’ll order food for us to have when you wake up.” I pat the bed beside me. “I n

I have to admit, the thought of ten Alphas being on our pack lands at the same time, all of them knowing about me, has me on edge. I know I can fight, and I know I’m strong, but having Clint beside me makes my chances for making it through next weekend without being kidnapped exponentially better. So, I agree to sharing a room. I already know that if I’m not with him at night, I won’t sleep a wink and I need to on my game and extra careful next weekend, which I can't do if I'm exhausted. “First,” Alpha Patrick begins. “Lily, you will train with me or Anders every morning. No one else. I want to make sure you are ready to fight an Alpha if that’s what it comes to.” He looks at me and I nod. I’ve already sparred with Alpha Patrick a couple of times. I’m hoping now I’ll be strong enough to defeat him. “Second, you will train with Clint every afternoon in both human and wolf form.” Clint and I nod. “We already do that every day.” Clint tells him. “Okay, let’s take a look at who will b

While I’m thrilled that I get to move in with Lily, and don’t think I won’t push to keep it that way, I’d rather things stay as-is and know that she’s safe. Since that’s not an option, the next best thing I can do is help her get stronger while protecting her. When we leave Alpha Patrick’s office, I walk her to her room. “What would your preference be, Lily bud? Do you want to move to my room, or have me move in here with you?” She opens her door, looking around. “This isn’t really my room. It’s been a sort of stopping point since leaving my home. I have no connection to it, unlike you who has lived in your room years.” I shrug. Any place will feel like home if she’s there with me. “I want you to be comfortable. I will be comfortable because you are there.” I say, pulling her into a hug. I know tonight has been nerve-wracking for her. Her fear was palpable and all of us could smell it earlier. As angry as I am about having so many Alphas in our territory coming after my mate, I had
