When we get outside, I begin pointing out different areas around the packhouse. The training grounds, which I’m hoping to get her on early next week, the playground for the pups, the pool for everyone with outdoor kitchen and grilling area for pack events. I point out some of the trails where pack m
I don’t understand why Liam would do so much for me. Doubling his patrols, giving me a place to stay, planning to buy me clothes, feeding me, giving me medical treatment. No one does all that just because a person needs it. It that were the case, my family and I wouldn’t have suffered for years as r
I shiver as he runs his nose across my jaw before kissing the corner of my mouth. He stands, taking my hand in one of his and shifting his jeans with the other before turning and guiding me down the stairs to the front door. His pack members flock to him again and I notice that he moves so that I’m
I wasn’t sure how I felt about being so open with Angel, but she’s my mate. I want to share everything with her, and have her share everything with me. After our moment in the hallway, I know she’s beginning to feel the pull of the mate bond, even if she doesn’t recognize that that’s what it is. E
Rik looks at me and an understanding passes between us. These women, these Guardians, give their lives for those they love and protect. It’s not something either he or I am willing to live with. I’ll have to find a time to speak to him to see if he’s found a way to keep Cara from taking a bullet, re
I had no idea when I agreed to come to Cara’s house for dinner that it would be this emotional. There’s so much going on, so many emotions, so many memories that are coming to the forefront. It’s a bit overwhelming. Liam has been very supportive. I’m glad he’s here. I’m not sure I could do this wit
He turns to look at me. “I did.” I frown. “You caught a bear and brought it to Cara and Clint?” I ask. Why wouldn’t he take it to his pack? I see Rik lean back in his chair, a smirk on his face. Liam scowls at him before turning back to me. “Cyran killed it for Artemis.” I look at Cara who is loo
After making sure my girl understands that there is nothing and no one for me but her, we walk back into the living room. “All good?” Clint asks and we both nod. “Good, have a seat, we have some important things to discuss.” I had already learned quite a bit about Angel over dinner. Her life has b
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
