Chapter 0558
Not only was Alpha Jerome taking every opportunity to put his hands in inappropriate places while we sparred, but when he realized he couldn’t take me, or maybe because he realized he was running out of
time, he injected me with wolfsbane.
I’m thankful that I’m immune. If I wasn’t, I would have ended up in the pack hospital and of all the places
in our pack, that would probably have been the easiest to kidnap me from.
As I turn to walk inside, Alpha Eric falls into step beside me. “Are you alright?” He asks and there is no
flirtation in his voice. He is genuinely concerned.
“Yes, thank you. I’ll just have a bruise for a couple of hours.”
“So, you really are immune to wolfbane?”
I look at him. “I am.”
He turns to look at Clint who is hovering on my other side. “What about you, Guardian Clint? Are you
immune to wolfsbane?”
“No. Just Lily.”
Alpha Eric looks impressed as he looks back at me. “Why do you think you are immune?”
“I have no idea. But I’m thankful that I am, and that it wasn’t common knowledge until now, otherwise, he
might have tried to use silver.”
Both Alpha Eric and Clint growl at that. “No Alpha worth the title would stoop to such a level. If you can’t win a she–wolf, Guardian or no, on your own merits, then you don’t deserve her.” Alpha Eric says.
As we reach the packhouse, he turns to me. “I do hope to see you later, and perhaps you’ll save me a
dance?”
I can’t help but smile at him. I do like Alpha Eric. “Of course.” I say, and I feel Clint tense next to me. It doesn’t go unnoticed by Alpha Eric, but he chooses to ignore it.
“If you’ll excuse me, I need to speak to your Alpha. I want to make sure that he takes Alpha Jerome’s threat seriously. He’s a ruthless Alpha and will want revenge for today.”
He bows over my hand again, kissing it and giving me another smoldering look. “Until later, Lily. Clint.” He nods his head at Clint before walking off.
As we start to walk upstairs, Clint leans into me. “Lily, I swear if you try to go off with that Alpha tonight, I
might kill him.”
We get to o
our room, and I turn and wrap my arms around him. “And where would I go with him, Clint? My room is here, with you. I share a bed, with you. I have no intention of going anywhere with any of these
Alphas. I like Alpha Eric and he proved today to be an honorable Alpha. I agreed to one dance, not a night
of illicit passion.”
He wraps his arms around me. “If you want illicit passion, all you have to do is ask, Lily bud.”
I nip his bottom lip. “You mentioned wanting to leave a mark on my neck last night. Would you feel better if I let you leave one before Anders‘ party tonight?”
He pulls back, looking at me, seeing if I’m serious. It felt over–the–top last night, but after what happened with Alpha Jerome, I don’t think it’s a bad idea to have a hickey on my mate mark from Clint. I won’t smell like him, but he’d be staking his claim and I might have some reprieve from the pressuring Alphas.
“You’d let me leave a mark on you?”
I turn my head, exposing my neck to him.
He opens the door to our room and walks me inside, closing the door behind me and pushing me against the wall. He grabs my thighs pulling them up and wrapping them around his waist. He kisses me passionately before pulling back, growling low and deep. “You smell like those Alphas.” He says before
walking me into the bathroom.
I continue kissing his neck while he turns on the shower and sits me on the sink, pulling his shirt over my
head. Then he strips down before running his hands over my thighs, to my hips then up my sides, letting his thumbs brush against my nipples. They immediately harden at his touch, and I suck in a breath at the pleasure of his touch.

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....
