“I know, and I don’t want to be away from you. But I’ll always be here, in your heart.” She puts her hand


    on my heart. “Whenever you miss me, think of all the wonderful times we had together, think of all the


    beautiful memories we shared. Tell those stories to Cara. Tell her of the beautiful romance that we had


    and how we loved each other more than any two people ever have. I will live on in your memories and


    in your heart.”


    “Don’t leave me Lity. I can’t do this without you.”


    “You can, and you will. Do it for me and do it for Cara. Do it for your girls.”


    She leans in and kisses me. I reach out to pull her into me, to hold on to her, but she’s gone. When I


    open my eyes, I’m back in the hospital room, alone. I close my eyes, and sob until I’m pulled under by


    exhaustion again.


    The next time I wake, Calista is sitting by my bed, holding my hand. When I look at her, her eyes are


    red- rimmed and puffy, and her nose looks raw from wiping it. As soon as she sees my eyes open, her


    tears

    begin again.


    “I’m so sorry, Clint. She saved me and Rik. I tried to get to her, but I was toote. I’m sorry.” She begins


    to sob, but I don’t have it in me to try andfort her. I’m so empty. I had no idea a person could feel


    this empty and still survive. I understand exactly what Leander has been going through. He’s a shell of


    a person. He’s a body with no heart or soul, and now, I am too.


    Anderses in, no doubt feeling his mate’s heartache. I would do anything to feel Lily’s heartache, to


    feel her anger at me, to feel anything from her again. When he walks in, he sees me awake.


    “Clint, you’re awake.”


    “Where’s Cara?


    “She’s safe, Calista and Donna have been taking turns looking after her. Although she’s been crying a


    lot.


    asking for you.


    “You should bring her here, let her see me.”


    I watch as Calista stands to leave. Anders runs his hand down her arm and kisses the top of her head.


    The pain of seeing their gentle intimacy is almost too much to bear. I had that a couple of days ago,


    and now, I’ll never have it again.


    Anders waits until Calista leaves before sitting down in the seat she vacated. “Clint. I know you’re


    hurting, that you’re in a bad ce, but I need to tell you something.”


    I don’t look at him. I can’t. I don’t want to see his pity. I already know what he’s going to tell me. I can’t


    feel anything from my waist to my toes. Nothing. I tried wiggling my toes, moving my legs, anything, but


    there is nothing.


    “I already know I’m paralyzed. You don’t have to tell me.”

    “We’ll figure it out. I’ve already ordered the best wheelchair for you. Charles and I are researching


    every surgeon in the world. I won’t give up.”


    “Thanks.” What else can I say. Lily wanted me to live for Cara, so I will. I will do that for the love of my


    life, but that doesn’t mean I will be here. It doesn’t mean that I can stay in this pack. I was the greatest


    warrior in the pack and now I’m nothing.


    I’ve heard them in the hallway outside my door. I may be a paraplegic, but my hearing is still that of a


    Guardian. I know what they are calling me. I’ve gone from being the strongest warrior in pack, the Big


    Daddy Badass to nothing. No, I’m worse than nothing. I’m the Broken Warrior.
