Chapter 0138
“Six? But you said mine only had four.” Dad says.
“That is correct. I also said that your line has strength. A strength that makes you stronger than an Alpha. Bellona’s line gave the Guardian the strength of an Alpha. Therefore, that line has died and reincarnated more frequently than Aloysius’s line.”
“How many times?” My father asks.
“To my knowledge, there are eleven generations to Bellona’s line, while there are only seven in yours.”
He turns back to me. “Now, to your question. No, I do not think your birth has eliminated her Guardian line. I think something has happened to the wolf carrying her line. Either that or she is very good at hiding. If I had to guess, I’d say she ran from her pack and has been hiding since she found out she’s a
Guardian. She could even be living among the humans.”
“However, I have been trying to find her for years. I have sent out my best trackers. There was a time when I thought I had found her, but they lost the scent and have never been able to find it again.” 2
He looks at all of us sheepishly. “I confess, the Bellona line is the one that my mate was connected to. I have wanted to be close to the Guardian that once
inhabited my mate, so believe me when I say that I have tried very hard to find her, with no success.”
“But you believe her Guardian line is still alive because you think you found her scent at one point and no other Guardian has surfaced?” Anders asks.
“Yes.” He pauses. “I do think that when she is found, she will recognize both of you, not just as Guardians but as a previous mate and quite possibly, as her daughter. Not past tense, but current tense. The Guardian spirit continues, and there has never before been a Guardian born from another Guardian. So, I believe that she may very well continue to think of you has her daughter.” Ailduin says looking at me.
“Even if she’s younger than I am?” I ask, because that would be weird.
“The human side may be younger, the Guardian side is much, much older. The wolf will most likely recognize Artemis as her daughter, not you, Cara, as her daughter.”
“Why do you think that I am the first Guardian born? Why now?”

Ailduin looks at me for a long moment before responding. “I have a couple of ideas for possible reasons why you have been born after so many years. First, this was one of the few times that there was a male Guardian alive to even have the possibility of mating with another Guardian. Second, your Alphas have proven themselves to be very different than the Alphas in the past and allowed your parents to find their true mates. I believe that the forced mate bond may have created an inability for a Guardian to reproduce a Guardian. Having a true mate bond may have opened the possibility of reproducing a Guardian.”
“The last possibility,” he continues, “is one that I hope is incorrect.” He takes a moment and looks at all of us. “It is possible that your Moon Goddess feels there is a need for more than two Guardians and has allowed the creation of a third. If that is the case, then I believe there is a war in your future.”

Where is the first of the guardians children’s books I can’t find it. Is it not done yet? I’m so invested in the whole saga I’m loving it and am itching for more!...
We missed the chapter we've been waiting for for so long! Dang it! 😞...
144 is from another book and now we miss out on everything once they realized they were mates!...
110 was uploaded twice...
You said in other chapters Cara smells like vinallia and lavender and now are saying she smells like vinallia and honey. Didn't know of that was on purpose or a mistake....
