Chapter 0468
Anders asked me earlier to find another way to get Lily home so he could have some alone time with Calista. Since I didn’t bring my car, I decided that a ‘warm up‘ walk home would have to do. But in truth, I’m glad to have the time alone with Lily too.
I feel her body stiffen as we walk out of
don’t really care if everyone knows the school. Yes, I’m making a statement. I
I’m interested in Lily. In a couple of months, they’ll all know that she’s my mate. Until then, I could care less what they think.
I decide to keep the conversation focused on our sparring session today. “So, tell me where you think your strengths and weaknesses are in your training?” I have my own ideas based on the obstacle course yesterday, but I want to know what her thoughts are.
As we walk, I realize she’s very aware of her strengths and weaknesses. It’s not always something that warriors recognize or are willing to discuss about
themselves. They usually can identify their strengths but not their weaknesses or how they can work to improve their weaknesses.
Lily, however, has a lot of ideas about how to improve. She just needs to have. someone to spar with that can give her a challenge. I would have thought that Lucas could have done that, but I’m starting to realize that I’ve been underestimating Lily and so has Anders.
When we get to the place where we must split to go our different ways to change, I hand her bag back to her. “See you in a few, Lily.”
I jog to the packhouse, dropping my bag off in my room and changing quickly. I haven’t been this excited about sparring in a long time, probably not since I battled Alpha Patrick. I have a thought forming in my head about how to use Lily’s ideas and how to give her the workout of her life today.
When I get downstairs, I go to Alpha Patrick. “Alpha, I spoke to Anders and I’m going to spar with Lily today. I’d like to train her my own way. She’s better than I realized, and she has some good ideas for how to improve, but I want to really push her.”
“Anything I should know, Clint?” Alpha Patrick isn’t stupid, and he somehow manages to have his ear to the ground about everything going on in the pack. But I’m not ready to discuss that Lily is my mate with anyone other than Anders. “No, I just want to make sure that she gets the individualized training that she

needs.”
“Mmmhmm.” I can tell that he doesn’t believe me, and that’s okay as long as he gives me permission to train Lily.
He looks at me for a long minute. “Okay, as long as you tell me what’s really going on as soon as you’re ready.”
“Deal, Alpha.”
“And we agreed you’d call me Patrick, Guardian.”
“Thank you, Patrick.” I say before turning to see Lily headed my way.
“Lily, you’re with Clint.” Alpha Patrick says.
As Alpha Patrick walks away, I give her a grin. “You’re with me.”
She rolls her eyes but turns to listen to today’s instruction.
“Actually, Alpha Patrick gave me the okay to work with you individually. I want to see what you’ve got.” I tell her and motion for her to follow me a little ways away.

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....
