Chapter 49: Clint

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.
