“Lily.” Anders says, breaking the tension in the room. “How would you feel about moving out of your
parents‘ home and into the packhouse?”
She looks at everyone in the room before answering. I sit down, taking her hand again. “What would
happen to my parents? Especially my mother. I don’t think she knows anything about what my father is
doing.”
“I will confront your father and tell him that I am taking over your care until you turn 18. Your mother can
choose to come live with you here or stay with your father. Your father will not be allowed to see you
unless he receives permission from me first. The punishment he receives because of his intent to sell
you to pay his gambling debts will be between he and I.‘
She nods, thinking before responding. “I would like to move into the packhouse. I might have felt
differently before becoming a Guardian, but now, I don’t think I can trust my father.” She hesitates
before continuing. “I don’t think my mother will leave him to stay here with me. Does that matter?”
Patrick smiles at her. “No, as I said, I will take over as your parental guardian until you turn 18. I will
have a room made up for you on Beta Calvin’s floor. That way, he can help me keep an eye on you.”
He says this to Lily but he’s looking at me. His intent is clear, stay out of Lily’s room and her bed.
Obviously, she’s made it clear that she’s waiting for her mate. since I’m her mate, she’s basically saving
herself for me. I give him a nod that I understand.
“I’ll be speaking to your parents tonight, Lily. Tomorrow, you can go get your things or I can have
someone pick them up for you.”
“I’ll need something to wear to school tomorrow. Maybe my mother can pack me a bag with my school
clothes?”
“I’ll see to it. Now, please follow Beta Calvin. He’ll show you to your room.” She stands, preparing to
leave. “Oh and Lily, now that you are a Guardian, I’m putting Clint in charge of your training. I don’t
know why we have two Guardians in this pack, but I want you both in top fighting condition. If
something is coming, I want to be ready for it.”novelbin
“Yes, Alpha.” She says before following Calvin out the door.
I stand to leave as well. “Clint.” Patrick stops me.
“I know she’s your mate, I know you’re a Guardian and you are like a son to me, but do not challenge
me again.”
I turn to look at him. “Keep her safe and we won’t have any problems, Alpha.”
– It’s Anders who comes up behind me, putting a hand on my shoulder. “Clint, I know you and Donovan
are furious at what her father has done or intended to do. And I can only imagine how angry you both
are that Alpha Mahli propositioned Lily. But you know my father. You know he will always look after this
pack. That includes Lily. Let him do his job.”
Anders has always been my balance. “You’re right.” I turn to Patrick. “My apologies, Alpha.”
“Apology accepted Clint and stop calling me Alpha, you know it pisses me off.” He says, making me
smile.
“Yes sir.” I say turning to go find Lily.
