Chapter 0405
+15 BONDS
Maia pushes forward, answering the question of the Alphas in the room. I hear a collective gasp and realize that Artemis has come forward as well.
“All happily marked and mated.” Rik says, his voice a challenge as he stands. I realize he has
passed Lily back to Cara. He’s ready for a fight.
Eli’s arm goes around me possessively. When I look, I see Louis shining in his eyes. Rik’s and Liam’s eyes have their wolves shining in them as well. It’s a clear threat. Do not touch what is mine.
One of the elders who is managing the tournament stands. “Alphas. No one will attempt to take your mates from you. This is a competition, but it is friendly. Your mates are marked, and everyone here can smell your scents on them. Anyone who is paying attention will have seen the three females that will battle on the Alpha Day. Perhaps they believed they were Alpha females. but now we all know, it’s the Guardians that are here to battle. Let us finish our lunch and get
back to the competition.”
With that, the tension dissipates. Liam guides Angel back to our table, but his eyes haven’t left the Alpha. When they sit, I hand Richie back to Angel. It’s almost like everyone in the room just realized that there are two babies at our table that belong to Guardians. It feels like it solidifies.
the fact that we are taken.
After lunch, the packs with warriors still in battle go back to the battlefield. Others choose to go watch while some take the afternoon to let their wolves run or relax. By 4pm, we have gotten to the final 100 warriors. All the warriors from our three packs are still in the running. By 6pm, that number has dropped to 50 and some of Rik’s and Liam’s warriors were eliminated by our warriors and a couple other warriors that are doing very well are still in the fight. By 8pm, we are down to the final 10. Eli and I have five warriors still fighting, Liam has three and Rik has two. All the other
packs have been eliminated.
By 10pm, the battles are over. Our warrior, Ezra, came in first, and Eli and I decide we will offer him the Lead Warrior position when we return home. Liam’s warrior took second and Rik’s took
third place, Liam’s warriors and ours both earned extra points for either taking out their opponent
with one hit or fighting through their injuries.
At the end of the day, the rankings flash up on the leader board:
1st Place: Shadow Falls Pack 230 points
2nd Place: Safe Haven Pack
225 points
3rd Place: Canyon Ridge Pack 140 points
Throughout the day, I have spotted my father. The toddler I saw him with yesterday is definitely his son. I’ve also seen his mate. She’s younger than he is. Not quite as young as I am, but I’d guess in her early 20’s, closer to Angel’s age, meaning my father is old enough to be her father. It makes me wonder if she agreed to this mating or if her family forced her into it.

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....
