Chapter 0488
Donovan is thrashing around in my head so loudly that I can barely hear the conversation going on
around me. The only reason he hasn’t forced the shift was Alpha Patrick’s warning that he’d send us
out of the room. I’m not leaving Lily, not now that I’ve heard the entire story and know that Alpha Mahli
touched what is mine.
I’m disappointed that she didn’t trust me enough to tell me what was happening. I only feel slightlynovelbin
better knowing she waited for me to get home and came to me immediately, knowing I would help her.
I turn to Patrick. “So, what do we do now? Lily is in danger, not only from this Alpha Mahli, but also from
every other Alpha that finds out she is a Guardian.”
He turns to Lily. “Lily, do you feel that your father will keep you safe and trust that he will take your
feelings into consideration around taking a mate?”
I can see Lily struggle. I’m sure she wants to say that she believes that he would keep her safe, but
he’s given her trust in him quite a blow over the weekend.
“No.” She says quietly. I’m still holding Lily’s hand and I gently tighten my fingers on hers. She looks up
at me before looking back at Patrick. “I don’t know why, but he seems determined that I will take Alpha
Mahli as a chosen mate.”
“Lily, do you know what line of work Alpha Mahli is in?” Calvin asks her.
She looks at him, shaking her head. “When I asked him, he said something like he’s in the business of
luck and dreams. I have no idea what that means.”
“He owns casinos, gambling rings, that sort of thing.” Calvin tells her.
I watch as she frowns. “What business is my father doing with him then?” She asks. My little mate is
intelligent, but na?ve.
I see Anders frowning over his phone. He’s been texting someone while we were talking.
“Your father has accumulated quite a gambling debt with Alpha Mahli.” Patrick
tells her.
Lily closes her eyes. “So, he is trying to sell me to that Alpha.” It’s a statement. Patrick just confirmed
something she was already contemplating.
“It would seem so.” Patrick tells her.
She scoffs, her voice going hard. “How much am I worth to my father?”
“Our sources say he owes over a hundred thousand dollars.” I can see the shock on her face. She had
no idea her father was gambling, much less so heavily
Actually.” Anders says. “On a hunch, I just checked with my source.” He looks at me before turning to
Lily. “Your father’s debt doubled over the weekend. He now owes nearly $250,000.
1 watch as a single tear rolls down her face “At least I’m worth a decent amount of money.” She says,
her voice quivering.
