He runs his fingers through his hair. “Fine.” He says as if he’s angry with me. “Good morning.” Alpha Mahli says, walking into the room. He comes over and takes my hands. “How did you sleep, darling? I tried to check on you, but you locked the door.” I’m guessing by ‘check’ he means crawling into m
Lily is a Guardian. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it. When I take her in my arms, she breaks down. I’m not sure what happened while I was away, but I intend to find out. I hold her for a moment while she cries before picking her up and carrying her to a chair. Sitting down, I settle
While I’m mortified that Alpha Anders saw me sitting in Clint’s lap, even though nothing was happening, I’m more concerned about what is going to happen next. Now, not just one but two Alphas will know I’m a Guardian. If I had any idea where to go, I’d run. As if sensing my discomfort, Clint comes
His eyes go unfocused then he looks at his watch. “We need to meet Patrick and Anders in Patrick’s office in one hour.” He looks down at my plate. “Lily? You need to eat.” He looks up at me, holding my gaze until I pick up my fork and begin picking at my food. “What if there’s nothing that Alpha P
He turns back to me. “I’m sorry to be asking these personal questions. I need to understand the expectations of Alpha Mahli and also your father. So, back to your story. Did you take Alpha Mahli up on his request?” A shiver of disgust goes up my spine. “No. I told him that I was waiting for my mat
Donovan is thrashing around in my head so loudly that I can barely hear the conversation going on around me. The only reason he hasn’t forced the shift was Alpha Patrick’s warning that he’d send us out of the room. I’m not leaving Lily, not now that I’ve heard the entire story and know that Alpha Ma
“Lily.” Anders says, breaking the tension in the room. “How would you feel about moving out of your parents’ home and into the packhouse?” She looks at everyone in the room before answering. I sit down, taking her hand again. “What would happen to my parents? Especially my mother. I don’t think she
I follow Beta Calvin to a room on his floor. It’s nice, but I feel like a stranger in this room. I go sit on the bed with nothing else to do. Nothing in this room is mine. I have no clothes, no toiletries, nothing. The reality of my situation comes crashing down on me. My father was going to sell me
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
