I am so angry at Anna that I could literally tear her apart. I was on the verge of doing just that when Lily


    stood in front of me. Her calming touch helped me to settle down, but it was her telling Patrick that she


    would let me guard her again that finally had me settling.


    I know that other Alphas will have heard about her by now and they will being for her. But I also


    know, if I’m with her, they won’t get to her. No one will take my mate from me.


    I don’t know how Lily can be so forgiving of what Anna did, but I can’t. I won’t forget that she put my


    mate’s life in danger.


    When we leave Patrick’s office, I walk her to her room.


    “Clint, you’re dead on your feet. Come in andy down.”


    I don’t have the energy or the will to argue with her. She leaves her door cracked open and takes me to


    her bed, tucking me in. “What are you going to do while I sleep?” I ask.


    “I need to catch up on homework and then I’ll order food for us to have when you wake up.”


    I pat the bed beside me. “I need to catch up on homework too, Lily bud. Probably a lot more than you


    do, since I haven’t been able to focus all week. Comey down with me. It will help me to sleep and


    then we can start our homework over dinner. Deal?”


    I honestly don’t need her toy down with me. The scent of her is all over the bed and I could sleep


    easily, but I’ve missed her so much. I just want to curl up around her,


    She rolls her r eyes at me butes over and crawls into bed. “I can’t sleep too long, otherwise I won’t


    be


    able to sleep tonight.”


    “Wake me when you get up.” I say as I wrap my arms around her, my entire body rxing, and I bury


    my


    I I


    I


    face in her hair before I fall asleep.


    When I feel Lily begin to stir, I wrap my arms more tightly around her. “Just a little while longer. I’m still


    healing.” My voice much deeper than it should be.


    That has my eyes shooting open, Lily’s head turning to look at me over her shoulder. “Donovan?” We


    ask


    in unison.


    “Mmhmmm.” He says, snuggling closer to Lily.

    She turns over in my arms, facing me. She begins stroking my hair and my face as if Donovan was in


    wolf form. Donovan immediately begins purring at her. “There’s that sound I love.” She says to him.


    I watch her through Donovan’s eyes, letting him stay forward with her. Her touch will heal him too.


    “How did he convince you toe back?” He asks her.

    I watch as Lily’s azure eyes shift to green and rim with gold as Andraes forward. “He told us that


    we


    are your mates.”


    Donovan nuzzles Andra’s nose. “You are. You are mine, little one.”


    Andra’s answering purr makes it nearly impossible to hear their conversation. “I’m very happy about


    that, even though I can’t feel it yet. Lily isn’t quite there, but Clint is being patient.”


    “You both have every right to be angry with him. We are yours as much as you are ours. That she–wolf


    is lucky to be alive. I wanted to kill her that night.”


    Donovan begins rubbing his face on hers, trying to scent her, but it won’t work in our human form. The


    meaning is still there, and Andra seems to appreciate the gesture. “What else did I miss?” He asks her.


    Andra tells him and when she’s nearly done, there is a knock at the door before Calvin walks in,


    carrying food. He stops when he sees both of our eyes shining gold.


    “Guardians.” He nods his head, acknowledging our status and our wolves being forward. I watch as


    Nn, Calvin’s wolf pushes forward.


    “Anders spoke to Alpha Patrick. He has agreed that you can stay in Lily’s room tonight Clint, as long as


    it is okay with Lily. Anders convinced him that you would heal faster in her presence and since she has


    agreed to you being her primary guard again, the sooner you are at full strength, the better for


    everyone. I can see that Anders was right, since Donovan is peering through your eyes.”


    As he walks in, Calvin pulls Nn back. “I’ve brought food for the two of you. You missed dinner.” He


    sets the food on the table. “Make sure you eat. Clint, you’ve been given a pass on training tomorrow,


    but Lily, you need to be there.”


    She nods, sitting up. She has pulled Andra back, so Donovan shifts to the back of my mind to continue


    healing.


    “I’ll be there.” I say.


    She turns and looks at me. “Clint…”


    “Where you go, I go, Lily bud.”


    The scent of the food hits my nose and my stomach growls loudly. Calvin smiles. “I brought enough for


    three, so it should fill you up. If you need anything, I’m just a couple doors away.” He says before


    leaving and closing the door behind him.
