The doctor comes over to me. He begins checking my vitals, flashing his light in my eyes, looking over the machines as he talks. “Cara, I’m Dr. Harris. How are you feeling?” “Terrible.” I reply. He nods. “Can you be more specific. Do you feel burning? Aching? Sharp pains?” “Burning, yes. Aching,
When Mr. Nelson kicked Liam and I out of Cara’s hospital room, I was furious. I had made promises to her. She may not have heard them, but that didn’t mean I didn’t want to keep them. I head back to the packhouse and up to my room. I’m pacing around, trying to figure out how to get back to her when
True to their word, Lacey and Jason provided hourly updates. Several hours later, I get my first bit of good news. Cara woke up for a short amount of time and the doctor said he’s impressed with her healing ability. I can’t help the smile that spreads on my face as I head to dinner in the pack hous
The next time I wake up, not only do I feel stronger, but I have a minute where Artemis is forward. She let’s me know that she’s countering the venom but it will be another week before she’s back to full strength, but she has effectively eliminated his mark from our neck. The bruises will take lon
“I need to take some more blood and I need you to eat a full meal.” “Deal. What are you looking for in my blood?” “We’re checking to see how Artemis is doing getting rid of the venom.” “She told me it’s working and that the marks are gone.” Yeah,” Lacey interrupts, “Look at her neck, doc. It’s s
My dad gives me a side-eye glance. “If it were up to me, I’d make it last longer, but it’s up to you, now that you are back on your feet.” I smile at my dad and as we pull up to the house, he turns to face me. “And…you may be willing to forgive them much faster than I am.” “Why is that?” “Liam le
Thank you to everyone who is reading my book. A fan let me know that chapter 44 loaded twice and the Rik perspective did not load as I meant for it to. I apologize for the inconvenience and I'm working with my editor to get it fixed. Once it is fixed, I will upload a bonus chapter. Thank you for yo
After Mr. Nelson leaves, I grab breakfast and head upstairs to get ready for school. I’ve missed a week, so I know that I will have a lot to catch up on. But that gives me an idea. When I get to school, I head straight to the office. One of the benefits of being an Alpha at an all-werewolf school i
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
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 every
I find Angel and I know that Selene was correct. She has no problem following me and I help her find her way back to Liam. Watching him on the hospital bed, begging for her to return to him, I’m thankful that I could help him and Angel reunite. I know the pain of losing my mate, and I would never wi
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 ope
“That was a really good idea, Lily bud. I’ve thought of that last night away so many times over the years. I should have known. It wasn’t like you to suddenly be so stressed out. But hindsight is always 20/20, isn’t it?” Clint begins training Angel and Alessia and it’s like he has a renewed purpose
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
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
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. Guardi
Cyran runs with Artemis for hours. Andra had gone to follow and watch over them and I joined her, watching as Cyran nipped at Artemis’s heels and played with her. He’s really good with her. When they finally returned, Clint and Liam helped her shift back before Liam headed home. She was so excited
