Okay, Clint confessing that his mate will be his everything made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. | almost want to be his mate if


    that’s really how he feels. I’ve never wanted to be with him, but the way he talks about his mate makes me consider changing my


    mind.


    When we get back to the packhouse, | go to my room and look for an outfit for tonight. Cali ising over and we''ll get ready


    together before we meet up with my guards for the evening. It’s nothing fancy, but | also like to make sure | look good when | go


    out. You never know when you''re going to meet your mate. Not that I’m old enough yet to know, but if he’s there, better to make


    a good first impression. And who knows, maybe Clint will show up.


    So, I’m wearing a ck fringe romper with ck high heels. Calista chose her usual elegance, with a colorful sequined dress


    that looks great on her. She’s wearing gold heels and we’ve both done up our hair. I’m leaving mine down in its usual fat curls,


    but Calista has straightened her dark blond hair, so it falls to the top of her butt cheeks. After making sure our makeup is wless


    and grabbing our small purses, we head downstairs.


    As we walk down the stairs, | see Alpha Patrick talking to Anders and Clint. Clint is wearing a ck t shirt that looks like it was


    painted on him and ck jeans. The whole outfit makes him look sexy and dangerous. The only difference in his outfit and


    Anders’ is that Anders is wearing a jacket. Where Clint looks like a Calvin Klein model, Anders looks like a movie star.


    | feel Calista reach over and squeeze my hand. She’s not immune to how great they look either and as | look around, | see the


    covetous looks of every she—wolf in the room. No worries girls, they aren’t here for us.


    “Good evening, Alpha.” | say to Alpha Patrick. | turn and nod my head, acknowledging Clint and Anders.


    | hear Clint growl. “What are you wearing?”


    | frown at him, then look down at myself. “It’s a romper.”


    “You look lovely, Calista.” Anders says to her.


    “Thank you, Alpha. It looks like the two of you have dates tonight. | hope you have a nice evening.” She links her arm through


    mine. “We certainly n to.”


    I can tell Cali’s hiding her jealousy. I’m right there with her. Clint and Anders. have been showing us so much attention, it almost


    felt as though they really


    wanted to date us. Yet, here they are, ready to take out some other she—-wolves. Not only are they going out, but they’re dressed


    to impress.


    | turn to look at Alpha Patrick. “Alpha, we''re ready to go. Who did you have in mind to be my guards tonight?”


    Alpha Patrick smiles at me like I’m missing the joke. “You''re looking at them, Lily.”


    My head whips around to look at Clint and Anders, and | hear Calista gasp.


    “You two are my guards?” | ask.


    Clints smiles at me with a Cheshire Cat grin. “Yep.”This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    Anders looks at Cali. “| guess that makes you my date.” He says and holds his


    arm out to her.


    She looks at me then unlinks her arm from me and links it with Anders. Clintes up to me and does the same. | link my arm


    through his. | know it’s my imagination, but | swear | can hear hissing from every female in the room. The jealousy that Cali and |


    are going out with the two most eligible bachelors in the pack is thick in the air.


    Anders has his father’s SUV, and both he and Clint open the passenger doors for us. Once we are in our seats, they walk around


    to the other side, Anders sliding into the driver’s seat and Clint sliding in beside me.


    “So, where to?” Anders says.


    “Dark Moon. They have a ce where we can get some food andter we can go. dance.” Cali tells him.


    He smiles at her, and | know that look. It’s the look that Clint gives me. When | turn to look at Clint, he’s frowning down at my


    legs. | look down seeing nothing wrong. “What?”


    “Those may be shorts, but they are awfully short.”


    “Well then, | guess you''ll earn your money tonight, making sure no guy puts his hands on me.” | joke.


    His answering snarl is anything but yful. “No one will touch you.”


    “Geez, | was kidding. Rx.”


    “Yeah, rx Clint. Lily looks great. If you’re going to be a wet nket, we’re


    going to leave you at home and let Anders be Lily’s bodyguard tonight.” Cali tells him.

    | watch Clint look at Anders through the rearview mirror as Anders gives him a smirk. “It’s fine.” He says grumpily before turning


    to me. “But don’t be surprised if I’m snarling at guys all night. You look entirely too sexy.”


    | blink at him. Was that apliment? Is he.... is he jealous that other guys may look at me tonight? That’s kind of sweet.


    “Well then, | may have to snarl at some she—-wolves because you look entirely too sexy, too.”


    His smile is smug and mischievous. “You think | look sexy?”


    | shake my head at him. “You know you do. Don’t go fishing forpliments.”
