I woke up to find that Lily was gone. The pillow in her place not providing the same sense of calm that having her body next to mine does. I was just getting dressed to go find her when her panicked scream came through the mind link. I reached out to Anders, telling him that Lily was in trouble. She must have gone off on her own, knowing that she was marked, but no one else knows that. When she tells me she’s at the lake, I open my mind link to all the warriors, Anders, Patrick and Calvin, letting them know that Lily is at the lake and in trouble. I don’t wait for them to respond, I rush out the back door, shifting into Donovan as I jump off the back step. We race to the lake, catching the scent of Aaron Raines and Alpha Mahli. That asshole will pay for this. He’s still trying to sell his daughter to pay for his debts. I hear Lily tell them she’s already marked and mated a moment before I see Aaron’s arm shoot up to hit her. I shift back, grabbing his arm, threatening his life if h

When I wake up, my lungs are still burning, but the scent of apple pie and the feeling of my mate wrapped around me in my hospital bed soothes the ache in my lungs. The doctors run a bunch of tests and are shocked at how quickly I have healed. A serious silver injury like this should have had me out for weeks. I don’t feel great, but I definitely feel better. I find out what happened in the two days I was out. My parents were banished on the evening of my birthday. Clint told me that Cali stayed with me while he went to watch. My father apparently shouted obscenities to everyone in the pack, but specifically at Clint while my mother sobbed but followed my father off the pack lands. The doctors keep me another day after I wake up, watching me as I cough up silver residue. The punctures in my lungs have healed and my collapsed lung has repaired itself. The doctors were concerned that the excessive coughing might cause it to collapse again, but as the day goes on, my coughing gets light

In the two months before Anders takes over as Alpha, he and I, as well as Charles, Calvin’s son and Anders’ intended Beta, begin a new schedule of training. Patrick is slowly passing things over to Anders and while we take the time we have to go away and spend with our mates, most of our time is spent taking over the duties of the pack. Anders had Lily and I take over morning training, letting us train together in the afternoons while he and Charles took over afternoon training.One day, as Anders and I were finishing up our training schedule, we walked toward the kitchen to find our mates for lunch. When I hear my mate’s snarling voice, I stop to hear what’s going on, pulling Anders’ arm to get him to stop too.“Ladies. Are you so desperate and petty that you have to sit around the kitchen, talking about the good old days when you had your 15 minutes of heaven with someone that is no longer available and will never be yours? I mean, if it were me, and, of course, it’s not because I’m

A couple of months after Anders and Calista take over the pack, we receive an invitation to celebrate the birth of Liam Holstin, Alpha Leander and Luna Estella’s child. Calista and I are excited to see Estella again and meet her new son, while Clint and Anders begin talking of the work they can accomplish while we are in Shadow Falls pack. I look at Cali and roll my eyes, making her giggle. We drive to Shadow Falls, leaving Charles in charge of our pack for the weekend. There are several milestones that are important in a pack, especially when it comes to ranked pack members. The birth of the future Alpha is one of them. Many packs have been invited to this momentous occasion. Alpha Leander asked us to come a day earlier than the others. When we arrive, he escorts us into his office, Luna Estella joining us. Because we are in an alliance, and have been friendly for many years, the feeling in the room is relaxed. We sit around a table together, Calista and I hugging Estella when she c

I felt Lily tense in my arms. I immediately come awake, listening to the sounds coming from the baby monitor. As Lily moves to get out of bed, I’m right behind her. Someone is in the nursery that shouldn’t be. I toss her a shirt as I put on a pair of shorts, and we quietly make our way to the door to our room. I mind link Anders but he’s asleep. I shout in the mind link, trying to wake him up before we sneak out of our room, quietly moving to Liam’s room. “You grab the baby, I’ll get the person that is trying to take him.’ I say to Lily in the mind link. She nods and we burst into the room. There is a figure in dark clothing, reaching into the crib. He snatches Liam up into his arms turning to face us. “Stand down, Guardians, or I kill the Alpha heir. This isn’t your fight.” “On the contrary, any fight against Shadow Falls is our fight. You’ve just waged war with not one, but two packs.” I say. He chuckles and as my eyes adjust to the nightlight in the room, I can see that this i

Clint and I work well together. Not only are we in tune as mates, but also having trained together for months. We trust each other and know that we’ve got each other’s back, so it frees us to be able to focus on the immediate battle in front of us. When Benjamin tells them to search for me, we realize we have an advantage. He still hasn’t realized that Clint is awake. We both know we’re about to be in the fight of our lives. There is no one else to help us. The fate of this pack and possibly our own, lies with us. “Stay together, Lily. We’re stronger together.” Clint says in our mind link. I nod. We continue to move around the packhouse, taking out warriors. We hear Benjamin roar from above us. We realize he has found the three warriors we left dead and most likely realized that we’ve barricaded the others in the Beta's room and our room. When he comes back down, he pulls his ace card. He knows I won’t stand by and let him kill someone while I hide. He grabs one of the omegas from

The next morning is chaotic. Lily and I took charge of the situation once Alpha Eric found his mate. While I understood that he just wanted to take her somewhere private and mark and mate her, he was recovering from wolfsbane, and she was needed to provide medical attention as people woke. We began pulling all of Benjamin’s dead pack members outside, away from the packhouse. More carefully, we began collecting and laying Alpha Leander’s dead inside the packhouse. We covered them with blankets that the omegas brought to us. As people woke, they began looking for their loved ones. Many felt the severed bond when they woke. While we couldn’t save everyone, Lily and I protecting Liam inadvertently helped to save many of the other pack members. If we hadn’t woken when we did, who knows how many pack members would have died. The ranked members wake up first. Anders and Leander must have realized what happened when they woke up in our bedroom, barricaded in. After checking their mates and

Several years go by. Life with Clint is everything he promised and everything I knew it would be when I fell in love with him. On the first anniversary of our mating, he took me back to Maine. This time, we were able to do a full-on white water rafting trip, just like he promised me. I didn’t know that he had planned to take me there, so I had gotten him a picture of us in Maine. I had it blown up so we could hang it on our wall. It was a picture of the two of us in front of the ocean. He was behind me with his arms wrapped around my waist. His eyes were watching me intently as I laughed. My hair was blowing in the wind and my head was turned toward him, listening to what he said in my ear. He remembered the moment, remembered that he was telling me he'd never love anyone the way he loves me, which made it that much more special. On our second anniversary, he took me to the Rocky Mountains. He made sure that where we were going still had snow. He got us a cabin removed from everyone a
