I’m so thankful that Calista agreed to go on a date with Anders. His voice is the worst voice I’ve ever heard in my life. For a man who is so good at so many things, he’s terrible at singing. My mate looks so fucking sexy tonight. It took all of my self-restraint not to throw her over my shoulder and take her upstairs to change. I’ve already had to snarl at several wolves who were looking at what is mine. I hate that she’s not old enough to wear my mark. At least she still smells like Donovan. It’s the only thing that’s keeping him from going off tonight. When we get inside the dance club, the music is thumping. I lean down to speak in Lily’s ear. “Do you want a drink, or do you want to dance?” “Dance!” She yells over the music. I look at Anders and it looks like Calista wants to dance as well. We follow them out to the dance floor, and I post up against the wall, watching over my mate. Anders moves to a raised stage area so he can look out over the crowd. The girls begin dancing

“Lily! Oh my goddess! What was that tonight?” As soon as the guys left my room, Cali jumped on me. “What? I’ve kissed Clint a few times. He’s a really good kisser.” “Lily, do you realize that you would kiss from through like four songs?” Okay, no, I didn’t realize that. “What happened to not giving in to them?” She asks me. “I’m not giving in to him. I’ve been very clear that I won’t have sex with him, and he doesn’t push it. He’s actually been rather sweet about it. He doesn’t push me to do more than I’m comfortable with.” I tell her. “Did you kiss Anders tonight?” I ask her. Her blush is answer enough, but I want to hear her say it. “Yes.” She turns away from me, grabbing her nightgown. “But nothing like what you and Clint did.” “Was he a good kisser?” I ask her, ignoring her comment about me and Clint. She turns and looks at me. “Yeah, he was.” She says with a smile. “When is your date?” “Tomorrow. He wants to take me out, then dinner, then a surprise.” “Are you going

Waking up to Lily moaning and rubbing herself against me was the second-best moment of my life. The first was when I watched her beautiful face come undone at my touch. Her lips parting, her eyes rolling back into her head and then her inner walls clamping down hard on my finger. Knowing I gave her her first orgasm only makes me and Donovan feel more possessive of her. I want to be her first everything. After dropping her off, I jump into the shower and relive our morning as I take care of my painful erection. The thought of one day being able to have slide inside her while I sink my teeth into her neck has me coming again. Since it’s Sunday, I want to see if I can get Lily to spend the day with me after training. Maybe since Anders is taking Calista out, I can get Lily to go out on a real date with me. When I get to the stairs, I see Lily and Calista already walking down. “Good morning, ladies.” I say as I jog down to join them. I watch the beautiful blush that creeps up Lily’s che

When the rogues attacked, I didn’t think twice about jumping in to help. Clint’s stupid command to stay behind wasn’t one I had any intention of listening to. I’m a warrior, that’s my job. What I hadn’t thought through was that once I shifted, everyone would know that Andra is a Guardian. Her golden eyes would give us away. During the fight, everyone was too busy to notice, but once it was over, the warriors noticed it quickly. I’ve sparred with Lyle. He’s a good man and a great warrior. Obviously, I know his son Lucas well too, since he wanted to take me on a date. I trust that Lyle means what he says when he tells Donovan that he will keep me safe. I’m not exactly sure about the other warriors. If anything, I’m in for a bunch of wolves suddenly showing me a lot of interest. The attention is unwanted, but I’m not sure there is anything I can do about it. As a Guardian, I would make a powerful mate. It’s why I’m thankful that Alpha Patrick gives his Alpha command to keep this inform

Something else is going on with Lily. She’s always let me comfort her, so when she says no, I know that something must have happened since I last saw her. This is more than sadness over Gideon. When I met with Patrick, I told him I wanted permanent guard duty over Lily. Now that the entire pack knows what she is, I have no intention of letting any unmated male get close to my mate. Patrick was resistant, but he finally agreed when I said I would trust Anders to watch over her as well. Seeing those males look at my mate with their covetous eyes was almost too much for me and Donovan today. The moment they realized who she was, I could see they all wanted her. Not only is she unmated, but she’s also underage so they can hope that she’s their mate. She was strong before she gained her Guardian spirit. Most of the warriors know who she is, which was confirmed when Lyle identified her through Andra. But now that they know she’s a Guardian, they’ll be all over her, trying to gain her favor

My brain is spinning. Clint’s kisses have that effect on me. It takes me a moment to come back to reality and when I do, I realize that the entire restaurant has gone quiet. I look around and see that everyone, and I mean everyone in the restaurant has stopped eating and is looking at us. My cheeks get hot with my blush. He claimed me. He claimed me in front of a restaurant full of pack members. I look back up at him and he hasn’t taken his eyes off me. He doesn’t care who is watching us. “Did you hear me, Lily? You are mine. Do you want me to shout it out to everyone here?” He starts to take a breath. “NO!” I put my fingers on his lips. “No.” I say again, more calmly and he kisses my fingers. He pulls my fingers from his lips and leans down to gently kiss my lips again. “Ready to go, then?” I just nod. He takes my hand, walking up to our waitress who is looking as shocked as everyone else and he hands her the bill with some cash before leading me outside to his car. He leans in,

Aaron has some serious balls. That or he’s desperate and stupid. I’m going with the latter. Threating your Alpha is punishable by banishment or death. Directly ignoring a demand from your Alpha is also punishable by banishment. My guess is that Aaron will be spending a night or two in the cells for that little stunt. I drop Lily off at her room and kiss her goodnight, knowing it won’t be long before I see her on the roof. Not unexpectedly, I hear the tell-tale throat clearing behind me. “I’ll see you soon Lily bud.” I tell her before turning to Calvin. I walk over to him but wait until her door is closed before speaking. “Aaron was waiting for us when we got back. He’s trying to convince Lily that she should come home, and he also basically threatened Patrick." Calvin snarls at that. “What the fuck is he thinking?” His eyes go unfocused and I’m guessing Patrick just mind linked him. He nods. “Aaron is heading for the cells. I’m going with the Patrick to get him.” At least Lily wi

My father invited Alpha Mahli to visit. It can only mean one thing. He can’t tell Alpha Mahli about me, but if he is here, there’s a strong possibility that he would see Andra or see her in my eyes. If he didn’t already want me, he would once he knew I was a Guardian. The threat of being taken by Alpha Mahli, and with my father’s help, was very real. As soon as Clint drops me off at my room, I pack for the weekend. It’s spring, but Maine is cooler than Georgia. I’ve never been, and I’m excited to see someplace new. As soon as I finish packing, I head up to the roof. I’ve become accustomed to sleeping beside Clint, but even if I wasn’t, I know I’d need him and Donovan to sleep tonight. When I get to the roof, he is waiting for me. He pulls me into his arms, holding me. “How are doing, Lily bud?” “Better now.” I told him I’d be honest as much as I could, and so I am. That means opening myself up, making myself vulnerable and I’m hoping I don’t regret it. He kisses the tip of my nose.

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.
For the Love of a Guardian Epilogue: Lily
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
For the Love of a Guardian Chapter 84: Clint
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
For the Love of a Guardian Chapter 81: Clint
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
For the Love of a Guardian Chapter 80: Lily
Time moves differently in this place. At first, it moved slowly. I spent a lot of time with Cara and Clint as they were hurting so much. Most nights, I would sleep beside Clint. But if I heard Cara crying, I’d go lay down with her. Sometimes I would spend time with Calista who holds a lot of guilt for my death. No matter how many times Anders tells her it wasn’t her fault, she still blames herself. I listen to my daughter when she calls Liam, crying on the phone, or telling him something funny that happened at school. She’s afraid to tell her father, although he usually already knows. But she doesn’t want to upset him because she is finding small moments of happiness. Liam is always a good friend to her, supporting her and validating her feelings. I’m not sure I realized how important it was for him to have me, until I watch how valuable having him is to Cara. I watch as Clint slowly begins to live again. I like sitting with him at my memorial. It’s like he’s really talking to me. An

When I returned to the packhouse after being in the hospital, Anders had moved most of my things to a room on the first floor. It was just another reminder of how far I had fallen. The name stuck and I could hear people whispering about ‘the broken warrior’. I waited until after Lily’s funeral before approaching Anders. “I’m leaving Anders.” “Where are you headed, Clint.” He asks me as we navigate through the packhouse. It was never meant to house a wheelchair. Anders has made accommodations for me, but it’s not how the packhouse was built. “I’m taking Cara and we’re leaving. I can’t stay here.” He stops, turning to look at me. “No.” “You don’t have a say in it. I’m no good to you anymore. I’m not even capable of being your Guardian.” "You're still a warrior in this pack." "But a broken warrior, right? Isn't that what everyone is calling me, the broken warrior? I can’t live like this. I won’t live like this." Anders snarls and he immediately sends out an Alpha command telling

I wake up in a beautiful meadow. It feels like spring. The air is warm, but not hot. There’s a stream gurgling nearby and birds are singing all around me. I sit up, looking around. ‘Andra?’ My head is empty. Andra is gone. Is this death? I’m in a beautiful place, but I’m alone? “Andra!” I yell, looking around. And that’s when I see her. Selene. Beside her is a beautiful brown wolf. “Andra?” She comes bounding over to me, tackling me to the ground. “Andra. Oh Andra!” I say, hugging her and running my fingers through her fur. I look up and stand as Selene walks up. “Lily.” She says to me before looking around. “Is this your realm?” I ask her, following her gaze. “No, it isn’t. It seems you Guardians continue to surprise me. You’ve put yourself in a place where it appears you can choose.” “Choose?” “Choose to come with me to my realm or stay and watch over your family and friends.” She gestures in a direction, and I see what looks like a pack gathering in the distance. “Why ca
