Chapter 0550
Lily and I eat, which helps me feel even stronger, then we do homework. I’m not caught up, but I will be this weekend. Lily agreed to help me catch up. It’s not exactly like it was before the ‘Anna incident” but it’s close.
I sleep curled up around Lily, my face buried in her neck and by morning, Donovan is back to full strength. We both go to training and once Patrick sees that I’m back to full strength, he lets me spar.
When we finish, Anders comes over. “So, I see it worked.”
“What’s that?” I ask, not sure what Anders is talking about.
“You, spending the night with Lily. I told dad it would help you heal faster. I could only get you the one night, but it seems to have done the trick.”
“It did. Thanks, man.”
“That’s what brothers are for.”
When it’s time to go to school, I don’t see Lucas anywhere and Lily comes down the stairs, looking like she’s planning to ride with us. Thankfully Anders asks her.
“Are you with us today, Lily?”
“I am. I thought I was glued to Clint until I turn 18.”
“You are.” I lean in closer as we walk to the car. “Does this mean I don’t have to sit in on a date with you and Lucas?”
She turns to as I open her door. “We cancelled our plans until I know what’s going on between you and me.”
“Good. Because what’s going on with you and me is forever, so Lucas will never be taking my mate on a date.”
I catch her smiling as I close the door. That’s a good sign, and my heart relaxes knowing I won’t have to watch someone else flirting with my mate.
Friday goes much better than the rest of the week. Lily is talking and laughing with me again. I’m so happy, I feel as light as air.
The rest of the day and the weekend go back to the normal we had before our weekend away. Lily and I meet on the roof and now the blankets smell like her again. She isn’t ready for any intimacy, and I am respecting her decision, letting her drive our relationship in the direction and speed she’s comfortable with.
She is letting me kiss her again, and I’ve devoured her sweet mouth more times than I can say, but it’s

never enough. Her taste, her sweet moans and feeling her body respond to me, just makes me want her
more and more.
On Sunday night, Patrick calls us into his office. When we arrive, Anders and Calvin are already there.
“Have a seat. We need to talk about next weekend.”
I have Lily sit and I sit beside her, taking her hand. “What about next weekend. You mean Anders birthday party?” I ask. Anders turns 18 this week and there is a party planned next Saturday.
“Yes. As you know, we sent out invitations for Anders‘ birthday party months ago. An Alpha heir turning 18 is a big deal for our pack as well as others.” Patrick is looking at me, and I don’t like the direction of
this conversation.
“I’m not terribly surprised that every Alpha has accepted our invitation. It’s unheard of, but that means news of us having an unmated, female Guardian has spread. Even those that initially declined, called to
say their plans had changed and they would be here.”
Donovan snarls. “How many?”
“Ten Alphas.” I’m on my feet, fist clenched.
“I’ll take Lily and go away somewhere.”
He’s already shaking his head. “I need you here. This is Anders‘ birthday party and you are his Guardian.”
“I don’t want Lily going away without me.” I refuse to let her out of my sight.
“Agreed, which is why she will be here and we won’t be hiding her. They want to see our Guardians, we
