Chapter 0560
While Calista and Lily were getting ready for Anders” party, he and I had our own plans to prepare.
“So, what’s the play?” He asks me, as I tuck the guitar behind the podium on the stage.
“I was thinking, it might work if it looks like I’m going to give you a toast, but instead, I begin serenading
Lily.”
“You know it’s a risk that she might shoot you down in front of everyone.”
I had thought of that, but I don’t think she will. I’m feeling more confident since this morning. If she’s
willing to let me scent her in such a bold and sexual way. I’m hoping she’ll agree to go to prom with me.
“It is, but it’s a calculated risk and I’m hoping I’ve done my calculations properly.”
Anders shakes his head and chuckles. “Well, at least you’re a better singer than I am. You won’t ruin
everyone’s evening with your voice.”
“Hey, I’ve gotten pretty good on the guitar too.”
He raises an eyebrow at me. “Do you know any songs other than the one you’re singing tonight?
Because I’m pretty sure I could play that tune by now, I’ve heard it so many times.”
“I only need to know the one song. If she likes it, I’ll learn more and play them for her every night.”
“Goddess, help us all. Let’s hope she doesn’t want more songs.”
When we have it set up and we’re both comfortable with how the events will play out, we head up to his room to get ready. We’re both wearing suits tonight as is the custom for formal events such as this. Anders is in standard black suit with a white dress shirt. I, however, wanted to match Lily, so I bought a off–white dress shirt to go with my black suit. I checked it against her dress to make sure it was a match. Not only will my scent be mixed with hers tonight, but we’ll look like a couple in our matching attire.
When we finish, we go to get our girls and I think both of us are stunned at their beauty. I know my mate is gorgeous. But tonight, she’s beyond stunning. I’m doubly thankful my scent is mixed with hers. Even if she wasn’t a Guardian, every Alpha here would want her.
I spare a glance at Calista. She is the epitome of a perfect Luna. In a week, Anders will be able to officially mark her if she agrees. He’s been doing his best to make sure that happens. From everything I know about her, she’ll be perfect for the position, and I couldn’t be happier for my friend.
When we walk into the ballroom, decorated for tonight’s festivities, I can sense every Alpha’s envy. They
want our mates, one a powerful Guardian, and one a perfect Luna.
Patrick and Olivia come over immediately and greet us, welcoming Calista and Lily to the party, Olivia hugging them before hugging Anders and me. Patrick shakes our hands and guides us to the stage.

“Good evening, everyone. Tonight, we celebrate my son’s 18th birthday. In just a couple of months, after
he finishes school, I will transfer the Alpha title to him. But tonight, we thank you for being here to
celebrate my son officially becoming an adult.”
Everyone claps, and Anders moves to the microphone, bringing Calista with him. He’s claiming her in front of these other Alphas. I take this opportunity to follow Patrick and Olivia and guide Lily off the stage.
After Anders finishes his speech, I leave Lily beside Patrick, Calvin and Lyle moving closer to guard her, while I go on stage. Anders slaps a hand on my shoulder as he passes me, giving me a smile. This is 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! 😞...

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....
