| can’t believe he was going to kiss me! Not just kiss me, but kiss me in front of every warrior in our pack? Not happening. | might


    have kneed him a little harder than | intended. It was a knee-jerk (ha ha) reaction and | know it hurt. At least he''ll think twice


    before trying to kis


    me again. And he’s a Guardian. I’m sure he''ll heal and won''t have anysting effects that might keep him and his future mate


    from having pups. At least, | hope so. | have nothing against his future mate. ‘Do you want to risk a run, Andra? It’s possible that


    Donovan maye looking for you again.*


    ‘Yes. | need to train, and | don’t mind Donovan. Maybe he can catch me again and lick my muzzle while he pins me to the


    ground.” She purrs in my head.


    Thankfully Donovan seems to care more about waiting for his mate than my wolf does.


    ‘| didn’t say | wouldn''t wait for our mate. | just said | wouldn’t mind Donovan pinning me to the ground. There''s a difference.‘ She


    says, huffing at me.


    “Whatever.'' | tell her.


    I''m about to strip and shift when my dad walks up behind me. “What was that with Clint Nelson at training just now? It looked like


    he was about to kiss you.” “Well, | don’t think he’ll make that mistake again, since | shoved his balls so far up into his body, he


    may never be able to have pups.” | say, thinking my father willugh it off.


    “You need to stay away from him Lils. He’s a Guardian. Nothing good cane of that for you.”


    “| know dad. Don’t worry, I’m not stupid enough to think that he wants anything to do with me other than getting in my pants.”


    Although Clint did give me his word as a Guardian that he wouldn’t try anything and now I''ll have to find a way to meet him


    somewhere other than my house on Sunday, so my parents don’t find out | went out with him. Ugh!


    When my father goes inside, | strip out of my clothes and shift, heading for the forest. Andra is running, doing sprints up and


    down rocky terrain and around rocks, leaping over gaps in thendscape, trying to extend the distance of her jumps.


    We''ve just leaped another break in the rocks, when Donovan tentatively approaches us. | can tell he’s unsure of his wee


    after my encounter with


    Clint, but Andra is happy to see him and immediately runs up to him, rubbing herself against him.


    He nips at her yfully and they take off. | have to admit, Donovan puts Andra through her paces. He’s not as agile as she is, but


    he’s very strong and fast. He pushes her for another hour before we call it a night. They race back to my house, Donovan nipping


    at her heels all the way, Andra yipping happily at his attention.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    When we get to the tree line, | stop. Donovan stops too, looking at us curiously, waiting for us to head to my house.


    “My father doesn’t want me spending time with you. So, it’s better if he doesn’t see you walking me home.” | say to Clint in the


    mind link.


    “Your father doesn’t want you spending time with the pack’s Guardian?” He asks.


    “My father doesn’t want me spending time with Clint Nelson. You don’t exactly have a good reputation, and he saw you almost


    kiss me today. It didn’t go over well.”


    “How am | supposed to pick you up for our date on Sunday if he doesn’t want you going out with me?” He asks, and | can hear


    the irritation in his voice.
