One night, not long after Cara’s 5th birthday, I’m in our room, cleaning up while Donovan takes Cara for a run. Suddenly, | feel a
presence and | whip around, ready to fight, my wsing out. As soon as | see the woman, | gasp and my ws recede.
She''s beautiful, almost glowing. She’s wearing a floor—length white dress. She’s barefoot and her hair falls long and straight
down her back and over her arms.
“Mother.” Andra says, bowing our head in submission.
“Hello, my child. | see you recognize me.”Content ? N?velDrama.Org.
“Are...are you the Moon Goddess?” | ask, not sure that I’m seeing what | think I’m seeing.
She smiles at me kindly. “Yes, but you may call me Selene.” That seems wildly inappropriate.
“What are you doing here?” | ask her.
“I''vee to speak to you. Come, sit with me.” She says as she walks to our couch and sits down,
patting the seat beside her.
I go to her and sit. When | do, she reaches out and caresses my hair, simr to how | do with Cara. “
You''ve been such a good Guardian for me. You have served me well. You have protected your pack, your
Luna and your future Alpha. You have even been a loving influence on one of my children that lost both
their parents, although only one has joined me.”
“You mean Liam?”
She smiles again. “Of course.”
I shrug. “Anyone would have done the same.”
She is shaking her head before | finish my sentence. “No.”
She is quiet for a moment. “Why are you here?” | ask. Her presence feels ominious.
“| wanted to warn you. You have been such a great child of mine, | felt that | should tell you what is
coming.”
My hand flies to my mouth. “Cara?”
“Cara will live a long and beautiful life. She will mate with an Alpha and be Luna of her pack.”
“Which Alpha?” | ask, momentarily distracted by the knowledge that my daughter will one day be a Luna.
“Can''t you guess? You more or less prophesied it before they were born.”
“Rik.” | say and the moment | say it, | know it’s true.
“He will be a good mate to her, although, he will have to win her over. They will have a long, happy life
together,”
I smile, thinking of my daughter’s future and how excited | am to see her one day be Luna of our
pack. But then my smile fades.
“You haven''t answered my question. What have youe to tell me?”
“| know how much you love your mate. And | gave you as many years as | could, but it’s time for another Guardian to take over,
time for another to rise. I''m afraid Clint’s time is over.”
| feel like someone just punched me in the gut. No, it feels like someone just stabbed me in the gut and began ripping my insides
out. The thought of a life without my mate is iprehensible to me. | know | can’t live without him. I’m not strong enough.
But he is. He is strong enough to live without me. He is strong enough to survive for our daughter. I’ve seen Alpha Christopher do
it. It was hard at first, but over time it’s gotten easier for him. | know Clint could do it. And he deserves it. He deserves to live.
“No. Take me instead. | can’t survive
without my mate. He is my
everything. Please. If I''ve been a
good. daughter to you, do this for me.
Let him live. Take me in his ce.
Clint is the strongest person | know.
He can survive my death, but | will
never survive his.” The content is on

Selene looks at me a moment. “The
wolf that was to take Donovan''s
ce is set to be a Guardian. If they
don''t get the Guardian spirit now, the
child will have to wait to get her wolf.”
| barely register that she says her,
instead of him. That’s not important,
although it’s odd. The content is on

“But she will get her wolf, right, justter?”
She looks thoughtful for a moment. “Yes, she will.”
“Then that’s fine. She won’t have to live without a wolf forever.” Lots of people get their wolveste, it’s not a big deal.
“And the wolf that was meant to get your spiritter in life, will get theirs early.” She says.
“That''s okay. I''m sure her family will help her, right?”
“Yes, they will help her.”
“Please, say you will spare him. He
deserves to live. He is the most
amazing mate, the most amazing
father anyone could ever want. He’s
been exactly the person he promised
me he would be and so much more.
He''s been a perfect Guardian,
watching over Anders since he was
10 years old. I''ve only been a
Guardian for 11 years. He’s been
doing it for almost 20 years. Please
Selene. | would do anything to save
my mate. Please. He deserves to
live.” The content is on
