Chapter 0562
+15 BONUS
How could anyone say no to Clint when he sang me a song in front of our entire pack and nine neighboring Alphas, I may not have spent any time with Clint before he realized I was his mate, but I know that he never, ever, treated another she–wolf like he treats me.
His claim is so blatant, his song is so sweet, that my heart melts. I said before that I hoped that he was my mate. It’s impossible for me not to believe him when he says he is. Other than the ‘Anna incident‘. he’s been nothing but perfect.
When Alpha Eric convinces me to dance, he reinforces just how significant Clint’s gesture was. “I’ve seen several Alphas claim their mates. But no one has been quite so public about it unless it’s at the moment where they both recognize each other. I’ve never seen it when one of the mates is underage.”
I can’t help the smile that spreads across my face. “He’s been pretty amazing.”
“How lond
long before you turn 187”
I refocus on him. “Two weeks.”
“Well, if things go south with him.” He wags his eyebrows at me.
I can’t help but laugh at his antics. “Somehow, I think there is a very special someone for you.”
“If I’m being honest. I’m losing hope. It won’t be long before I have to take a chosen mate or go feral and
I have no intention of doing that to my pack or forcing my Beta to put me down.”
“Well, I can’t say that I know what the mate bond feels like, not really. But I can tell you what it’s like being on the receiving end of someone who says they’re your mate. I don’t know how a chosen mate could compare to that.” I say, as I look over and see Clint watching me. I put every bit of happiness he’s given me tonight into my smile.
When the dance ends, Alpha Eric kisses my hand. None of the other Alphas dare to approach me and
Clint stays by my side the entire night.
The next day, the Alphas begin leaving early. Those that don’t, leave soon after breakfast. Alpha Leander and Luna Estella let us know that they will invite us to meet the new Alpha heir when he or she is born.
Our alliance with Shadow Falls is strong, and I hope that it always remains that way.
After they are gone, I thought we would be able to relax, but Clint has different ideas.
“Okay, Lily bud. I talked to Patrick, and you are going to start sparring against two warriors at once. We’ll
see how it goes and then we’ll bump you up to three and four and so on until you max out.”
“Are you trying to kill me?” I ask, only half joking.
“Nope, haven’t you heard? What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger. And I plan to make you stronger, Lily bud.”
True to his word, the next week is grueling. I’m sparring against two warriors all morning, we’re coming to the end of the school year, so teachers are piling the workload on us and in the afternoon, Clint is pushing me like some sort of crazed military boot camp drill instructor.

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....
