For the Love of a Guardian Chapter 60: Lily
I knew as I was walking to the lake that Clint was my mate. His scent of apple pie was so much stronger than before. And when I saw him, Andra said the word he’s been waiting to hear for months. Mate. Everything that was good about Clint is now amplified, his scent, his voice, his hands roaming over my body sending tingling sensations everywhere. I can’t wait to complete our mate bond. I knew I wanted him before, but it was nothing compared to this. When he’s finally inside me, when our teeth are buried in each other’s mate marks, the feeling is like nothing I could have ever imagined, nothing you can explain to someone that hasn’t experienced it. Sex with Clint was fantastic before, and it doesn’t even come close to this. We make love for hours, exploring, touching, tasting. I want to do and have everything with my mate. I want to experience it all and every time is just as amazing as the first time. I can’t ever foresee a time when I will not want him to touch me, when I won’t res

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

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

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
For the Love of a Guardian Chapter 78: Lily
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
