I can see Anders in the front row between Cara and Luna Calista. His head is bowed and I know if I could see his eyes that they would be red-rimmed. The bond they shared was a brotherhood, not quite as strong as a mate bond, but pretty close.
I’m surprised when Angel gets up and goes to the podium. She hasn’t said. anything to me about speaking, not that needs to.
“I haven’t known Clint very long, at least not as the person I am now. When I got here, I had come from a dark place where I had been abused for years. I was a broken shell of the person I had been, not even able to access my wolf or my Guardian spirit. Clint didn’t care. He took me under his wing and he pushed me to be a stronger, better version of myself. He helped me to regain my wolf and the power of my Guardian spirit. He treated me like family and took me in as if I was another daughter to him. He helped me find my way back to the person I am today.”
She stops, regaining her composure before looking at Cara and smiling. “He even found me when I lost my way after the battle.” I see Cara’s head shoot up to look at Angel. “I woke up in a strange forest, alone. I had no idea where I was or how to get home. He found me, told me it wasn’t my time yet and helped me find my way back to Liam. As was his way, he didn’t leave me until he knew that I was where I was s to be and that I would be okay.”

Her voice begins to waver and I watch as she loses the battle against her tears and they start to fall down her cheeks. “Even in death, he was looking out for me. And I know that he’s looking down, watching everyone here today, keeping an eye on this pack and this family that he loved so much. He may be gone from our daily lives, but he will always be here.” She takes her hand and puts it over her heart. And I’m so thankful that I got to meet such an amazing man in my lifetime, a man who became like a father to me.”
She turns and begins to walk off the podium. I watch as Cara stands, and goes to her and they hug tightly, crying together for the loss of their father, their friend, their Guardian bond.
We stayed for dinner that night. Angel spent some time talking to Cara and explaining her time with Clint while she was unconscious. The talk seemed to help Cara and I could tell that Rik breathed a sigh of relief.
I pulled him aside later in the evening. “How are you holding up?” I ask him.
We stay within eyesight of our mates, neither of us wanting them out of our sight.
“I feel better after seeing her with Angel today. I think it went a long way toward helping her to heal. You probably understand the loss of a parent better than I do, and Angel definitely does.” power surg
We sit and he puts his head in his hands. “We don’t know how that of hers may impact the baby. We don’t know if the near miscarriage was from her blast of power or from her despair of losing her father. I can’t lose them.” He whispers the last part.
I bring my hand down on his shoulder. “You won’t. I think one thing that we’ve learned about our mates is that they are much stronger than even we knew. They are amazing women. I don’t know about our children, obviously you and I are in the same boat now. But I do know that our mates are the strongest wolves I’ve ever met in my life.”
He smiles, looking over at our girls, hugging each other. “I’ll warn you now, if I have a girl and you have a boy, he better keep his hands off my daughter.” Rik tells me.
“Same goes and I think we both know I can be a whole hell of a lot more. intimidating than you.” I retort.
He snorts. “That’s a matter of opinion.”
We sit in silence for another moment just watching our mates. “I can’t believe we’re both going to be dads in a few months.”
“It’s amazing, isn’t it?”
“It’s incredible.”
Later than night when we’re back home, after reminding my mate how much I love her, how important she is to me and how much I enjoy her screaming my name in pleasure, I tuck her against me in bed. I kiss the top of her head, smelling her scent of raspberries and cream now mixed with a headier scent of the forest.
After talking to Rik, I feel pretty confident based on the change in scent from my inate that we’re having a boy. Rik said Cara smells more like vanilla. Angel smells more like the forest, more like what she says that I smell like to her. So, yeah, I’m pretty confident that we’re having a boy.
“You know, we never really talked about whether or not you wanted pups.” I say to her. She tilts her head up to me and I look down at her, kissing her nose. “I mean, it’s a little late now and I’m really excited, but we probably should have had a discussion about it beforehand.”
She lifts herself up on her elbow, resting her hand on my chest. “Liam Holstin, I would be thrilled if you gave me enough pups to fill every room in this packhouse with the evidence of our love.”
Her answer is so perfect, so exactly what I want to hear, that I roll over top of her and show her once again how happy I am that she is my mate.
Aler the terrible week of funerals, the pack began the slow process of rebuilding. We had to fix several homes, the back of the packhouse and the bunker.
Liam refused to let me assist and he also refused to allow me at training, so instead, I started training with Sarah. Since werewolf pregnancies are much shorter than human pregnancies, five months instead of nine, I only have a couple of months before my stomach will be too big to do anything.
I went with Sarah to see Dr. Phillips. After letting Dustin mark her immediately after the war, she wanted to know if she could have his children. She had extensive testing and Dr. Phillips decided that any human would struggle with the shorter gestation of having a wolf pup. The scar tissue would cause problems. with getting pregnant, during the pregnancy and delivery, but since she would put Sarah on bedrest anyway, it should be possible.
Sarah had told Dustin that they could have pups but that she would have to be on bedrest during the gestation. He was tentative, but they started actively trying to get pregnant. Sarah had gotten over her fears of having a sexual relationship and that was a huge step for them.
I speak to Cara at least once a week. When we got the news very quickly that Donovan’s Guardian spirit was found, we were both surprised and happy. It was good to know that we had found her, not him, which was its own surprise. We haven’t met her yet, but we hope to in the near future.
I’ve settled into a routine, Sarah as my official Beta female. Liam hired a new assistant at the office with Sarah’s input so she’s officially in her capacity as the Beta female in the pack.
It’s during one of these regular days that I get a mind link from Liam. “Little Angel. I’m coming to your office. I need you to come with me to the borders.”
He’s in my office in a couple of minutes. “Liam, what’s going on?” walk downstairs and I see our
“I’m not sure, but I need you to join
“We entire fleet of warriors waiting for us. “Liam?”
He picks me up, carrying me bridal style. “They claimed that they needed to see you or Cara. They have refused to tell Rik and I what this is about. They’ve been here all day, just outside our territory insisting that they speak with you, since Cara is still on bedrest.”
When we get to the border, I see that Rik and many of his pack warriors are there as well. What I see beyond our borders has my blood running cold. I stiffen in his arms.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let them near you.” Liam says, his arms tightening around me.
He sets me down, standing slightly in front of me. “I’ve brought my mate, the ” Guardian you’ve requested to speak to. Now, what do you want?” Liam says to the group of vampires.
The leader, who is obviously vampire royalty, lifts his nose in the air. “Custos. Regni.” He doesn’t say it in the disgusting way that Keenan did. It’s said with respect.
I step forward, Liam putting his arm out, holding me to the spot next to him. I’m the Guardian, my name is Angel. What do you want?” I ask him.
“I am King Urien, Guardian. I understand that you have had a bad experience. with some of my brethren.”
“Those ‘brethren’ are dead.” Liam growls at him.
Urien nods. “I want to express my regret at my fellow vampires’ lifestyle. Not all of us live the way that Keenan and Dimitri lived.” He spreads his arms around to include all of the vampires with him. “My coven and I are not like they are, or were. We prefer to live our lives among humans. There are plenty of humans who are agreeable to being used as feeders that there is no reason to force them.”

He makes a fist, bringing it up to his heart in a strange show of dedication. “We come to pledge our loyalty, show our respect and commitment to the Guardians of the Realm. We will live by the covenants of the Guardians. We wanted you to know that you have nothing to fear nor any need for concern about my coven. When he is done speaking, he and his coven all take a knee, bowing their heads.
