How could anyone say no to Clint when he sang me a song in front of our entire pack and nine
neighboring Alphas, I may not have spent any time with Clint before he realized I was his mate, but I
know that he never, ever, treated another she–wolf like he treats me.
His im is so tant, his song is so sweet, that my heart melts. I said before that I hoped that he was
my mate. It’s impossible for me not to believe him when he says he is. Other than the ‘Anna incident‘.
he’s been nothing but perfect.
When Alpha Eric convinces me to dance, he reinforces just how significant Clint’s gesture was. “I’ve
seen several Alphas im their mates. But no one has been quite so public about it unless it’s at the
moment where they both recognize each other. I’ve never seen it when one of the mates is underage.”
I can’t help the smile that spreads across my face. “He’s been pretty amazing.”
“How lond
long before you turn 187”
I refocus on him. “Two weeks.”
“Well, if things go south with him.” He wags his eyebrows at me.
I can’t help butugh at his antics. “Somehow, I think there is a very special someone for you.”
“If I’m being honest. I’m losing hope. It won’t be long before I have to take a chosen mate or go feral
and
I have no intention of doing that to my pack or forcing my Beta to put me down.”
“Well, I can’t say that I know what the mate bond feels like, not really. But I can tell you what it’s like
being on the receiving end of someone who says they’re your mate. I don’t know how a chosen mate
couldpare to that.” I say, as I look over and see Clint watching me. I put every bit of happiness he’s
given me tonight into my smile.

When the dance ends, Alpha Eric kisses my hand. None of the other Alphas dare to approach me and
Clint stays by my side the entire night.
The next day, the Alphas begin leaving early. Those that don’t, leave soon after breakfast. Alpha
Leander and Luna Este let us know that they will invite us to meet the new Alpha heir when he or she
is born.
Our alliance with Shadow Falls is strong, and I hope that it always remains that way.
After they are gone, I thought we would be able to rx, but Clint has different ideas.
“Okay, Lily bud. I talked to Patrick, and you are going to start sparring against two warriors at once.
We’ll
see how it goes and then we’ll bump you up to three and four and so on until you max out.”
“Are you trying to kill me?” I ask, only half joking.
“Nope, haven’t you heard? What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger. And I n to make you stronger,
Lily bud.”
True to his word, the next week is grueling. I’m sparring against two warriors all morning, we’reing
to the end of the school year, so teachers are piling the workload on us and in the afternoon, Clint is
pushing me like some sort of crazed military boot camp drill instructor.
Friday night, I plead out of studying to spend some time with Calista. Tomorrow is her 18th birthday, so
I wanted to get her something special. Clint had asked what I nned to do and when I told him, he
asked if he could pay for the gift and put his name on it too. I agreed, especially since I have limited
funds.
After dinner on Friday, Anders, Calista, Clint and I go sit out on the back patio. Anders prepared a spot
that is separated from the rest, so we’d have a bit of privacy. I know she’s going to spend the morning
with her parents beforeing over to get ready for Prom. The guys have something nned, but
they’ve refused to tell us what it is.
After we sit down, I hand Calista the gift from me and Clint. After talking about it, Clint wanted to add a
second gift, and I agreed. The first gift is a picture of me and Cali. It was when we were in Maine and
we are standing in front of the marina in the quaint town where we stayed. That weekend was so
special, I wanted to memorialize it for her.
