Chapter 0364
I decide very quickly that, not only are we sisters through our Guardian bond, but Cara, Angel and I would have been friends regardless of the bond. We are all very different, but very much alike in the ways that matter.
I tell them about our pack and how all of the pack members have come from packs where they were mistreated. They are shocked at our numbers and the separate number of packs where our members come from.
“How can an Alpha and Luna allow their pack members to be treated so poorly? It’s their job to care for their pack.” Cara says.
Angel is nodding. “I agree. I almost lost it when I thought Liam was allowing our omegas to be abused. He had to rein me in because my aura had pushed the pack to their knees and was causing them pain. It’s a partnership. As Alpha and Luna, we have to work together. There will be times when we lose our temper or become frustrated. That’s when the mate bond is so important, not just for each other, but for the health and safety of the pack. I’ll never understand those that don’t value the mate bond.”
“Honestly, I never understood it. Watching my mother suffer for so long, I hated the idea of the mate bond. It felt like chains forcing my mother to feel things that she no longer wanted to feel for a man that didn’t love her and willingly mistreated her. I never wanted it. But then I met Eli and I realized it’s not the bond that is the problem, it’s the person. If you both accept the bond and treat each other with love and respect, then it grows
and develops into som beautiful.” I say, thinking about how much my belief in the mate bond has changed since meeting Eli.
Cara leans her head back, rubbing her hand over her baby bump in gentle circles. “I can’t imagine anything more wonderful than the mate bond. My father told me about it all my life.” She lifts her head up and looks at me. “Do you know, he never took another mate. Never even considered it.” She looks thoughtful. “Now, knowing what I have with Rik, I understand. You could never have this feeling with anyone else. There could never be anyone for me, but him.”
“I’m really glad to hear you say that, love.” Rik says, walking out and chuckling at his mate before picking her up and putting her in his lap. “How are my mate and my little Peanut doing?” He asks, kissing her nose..
“We’re just fine, daddy.” She says as Rik rubs his hand over her protruding stomach.

“When are you due?” I ask as Liam comes out and also picks Angel up, sitting her in his lap. I watch as she gives him an exasperated look but doesn’t complain. He just smirks at her before burying his nose in her hair. She has a lot of hair.
“I’m due in about 6 weeks.” She tells me and I turn to Angel. “I’m due about a month later, so I’m about halfway through my pregnancy.” Angel says,
answering my unspoken question.
“And do you both know what you’re having?” I ask, already knowing the answer. Maia can smell the babies.
Cara rolls her eyes at Rik before answering. “We’re having a girl. Rik is so proud of himself for realizing it first. He could smell her, or so he says.” She swats his arm, playfully.

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....
