CooperI said I wouldn't rewrite the trilogy and I won't, but I felt this time with Cara was important to see from Clint's perspective. It's how he got to the person we saw him as in Broken Warrior's Daughter. Only one day of regular chapters left and then one epilogue before the end.

For the Love of a GuardianĀ Ā Ā Chapter 83: Lily
Iāve continued to watch the life of my family. Iāve watched my daughter grow into a beautiful woman. She is not only beautiful on the outside, but sheās 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 Iām right beside him, which, of course, I am. Iāve 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 wasnāt the only one that seemed to remember King Ailduinās name. Andra sat up when they mentioned him. āDo you remember him, Andra?ā She looks at me and chuffs. Her memory seems to be stronger than Donovanās. When they arrive, Andr

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, Iād be with my Lily bud. I feel my tether to everyone in my life break and I tell Lily Iām coming as everything goes dark. When I open my eyes, Iām 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. Iām going to hold her and kiss her and remind her of what being my mate means. Iām happy when I realize I can stand. It takes me a moment to readjust to being able to walk again. āLook at this Donovan!ā I say, wanting to share my excitement with my wolf. Iām met with silence. āDonovan?ā I say, looking around like Iām going to find him in the meadow. What I find instead is my heart, my soul, the love of my life. āMate.ā She says and it makes my heart sing again. Itās just like it was that day beside the lake and I have to let her know that I st

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 wasnāt 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. āYou were never meant to be this strong.ā 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. āWhat do you mean?ā I ask her. āI 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

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.

**This book is a prequel to the Guardians Trilogy. However, while it starts before the first book in the Trilogy and can be read as a stand alone, it will span the timeframe of both Books 1 and 2. This book will contain spoilers and references discussed in the other books. It is recommended that you first read Book 1, The Broken Warriorās Daughter, and Book 2, Alphaās Guardian Angel before reading this book.I donāt know when I fell in love with Clint Nelson. For years, I thought of him as an egotistical man who believed he was the Goddessās gift to women. He isnāt completely wrong. He is a gorgeous man, with wavy, dark brown hair and emerald green eyes that stand out like jewels on his tanned, chiseled face. His body looks more like it was carved from stone than muscle, and I would know, just like every other she-wolf in our pack, Iāve had a good look at what he's packing. He isnāt exactly shy and is definitely not self-conscious about the way he looks.If being the best friend of ou

āHey Lils.ā My bestie, Calista, says walking up to me as we meet on the road before heading to school. We're in the last half of our senior year.āMorning Cali.āCalista and I have grown up next door to each other. Weāre the same age and while we may not always be in the same classes, weāve always gone to the same schools, done our homework together and have literally been best friends our entire lives. We were born a month apart and our parents babysat for each other and put us in the same afterschool activities through our younger years. Thankfully, we liked each other right away. Otherwise, it would have been miserable.āHow was training?ā She asks me. The one thing we havenāt done together since she was able to be excluded two years ago. Where I want to be a kickass warrior, Calista is a more gentle soul. She completed the required five years of training but was able to back out after that.āI got Lucas today.ā I tell her beaming.āYou took him down?ā Her eyes widen in disbelief.

I turned 18 over the weekend. I had really hoped to meet my mate on my actual birthday, but that didnāt happen. Anders and I had gone out both Friday and Saturday nights, hoping that I would find her. Since it didnāt happen, I had settled on the idea that Anders and I would have to travel around to find her. He turns 18 in a couple of months but heās already feeling a pull to Calista Johns. He thinks she is his mate. Heās been pursuing her but sheās completely uninterested.Itās frustrating him because heās never had to pursue a love interest. Women usually fall at our feet. It doesnāt even matter how old they are, weāve both had women old enough to be our mother that have found their way into our beds.I found the entire situation hilarious until Monday morning, when I showed up at training and smelled the most delicious scent of orange blossoms and ginger. I followed the scent and found Lily Raines sparring with Lucas, Anders future Lead Warrior. Heās already decided that Lucas will

What an arrogant asshole! If he thinks because heās bigger than I am that he can intimidate me, heās got another thing coming. Did I feel badly that I basically threatened to rip his balls off, not even a little. Did I happen to feel the large bulge in his pants at the same time? Yes, and wow! Thatās all I can say, wow.I find Calista at lunch and we decide to find a private place to eat away from either of the men who have decided to pursue us relentlessly. We settle in and I listen to her vent about how Alpha Anders is doing basically the same thing as Clint, moving to sit next to her, trying to talk to her in class, constantly asking her out. Itās maddening. I tell her about Clint and what happened in Chem and Lit classes.āDo you think theyāve set up some type of competition between them?ā She asks me.āWhat do you mean?āI watch as Calista stares thoughtfully out over the track field where we decided to have our lunch. āWell, you and I are basically the only hold outs in the pack

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 Iām building for her. Itās 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 itās dinner, homework and bed before we turn around and do it again. Cara is the absolute best daughter a parent could ever want. I donāt know if itās because we had those years after Lilyās 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 sheās training her endurance in the pool. The older Cara gets, the more she looks like Lily. Sheās gorgeous and Iām thankful that she has listened to everything Iāve told her about the mate bond and that sheās 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 sheās popped up somewhere and Iāve just been so lost in my grief that I didnāt 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 Iām 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. Itās Thursday and I have a lot to prepare before Anders arrives. āDad, whatās going on?ā Car
For the Love of a GuardianĀ Ā Ā 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, Iād 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 wasnāt 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. Sheās afraid to tell her father, although he usually already knows. But she doesnāt 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. Iām 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. Itās like heās 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 āthe broken warriorā. I waited until after Lilyās funeral before approaching Anders. āIām leaving Anders.ā āWhere are you headed, Clint.ā He asks me as we navigate through the packhouse. It was never meant to house a wheelchair. Anders has made accommodations for me, but itās not how the packhouse was built. āIām taking Cara and weāre leaving. I canāt stay here.ā He stops, turning to look at me. āNo.ā āYou donāt have a say in it. Iām no good to you anymore. Iām not even capable of being your Guardian.ā "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 canāt live like this. I wonāt 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. Thereās a stream gurgling nearby and birds are singing all around me. I sit up, looking around. āAndra?ā My head is empty. Andra is gone. Is this death? Iām in a beautiful place, but Iām alone? āAndra!ā I yell, looking around. And thatās when I see her. Selene. Beside her is a beautiful brown wolf. āAndra?ā She comes bounding over to me, tackling me to the ground. āAndra. Oh Andra!ā I say, hugging her and running my fingers through her fur. I look up and stand as Selene walks up. āLily.ā She says to me before looking around. āIs this your realm?ā I ask her, following her gaze. āNo, it isnāt. It seems you Guardians continue to surprise me. Youāve put yourself in a place where it appears you can choose.ā āChoose?ā āChoose to come with me to my realm or stay and watch over your family and friends.ā She gestures in a direction, and I see what looks like a pack gathering in the distance. āWhy ca
