I look at Liam, not knowing what to say. He looks just as lost as I am. I step forward, feeling Liam shift behind me, ready to pull me behind him if this is a trap.
“Rise King Urien. I appreciate you coming here to let me know of your allegiance. It was never my intention to kill any of your kind, but when anyone comes for me or mine, they will be destroyed.” Alessia has pushed forward and her voice overlays with mine. I see the vampires’ heads snap up at the change in my voice.
“Guardian, if ever you need us, we are here to serve you.”
With that, they stand, turn and in the blink of an eye, they are gone.
I turn to look at Liam and Rik. “Well, that was weird. Do you think they mean it?”
Rik looks thoughtful. “They seemed to, but time will tell.”
Over the next several months, more groups of supernaturals come to our borders, pledging their allegiance to Cara and I as the Guardians. We call Ailduin. and Aolis back to chronicle these events and discuss the implications of what it means. ave to me
“Your power exceeds that of any other supernatural.” King Ailduin one day. “It seems that the vampires have the name correct. You are Guardians which guard the entire realm of supernaturals, not just the werewolves. Perhaps you were created by the Moon Goddess specifically for the werewolves, but your power has grown and now exceeds us all. It is a good and bad thing.”
“What do you mean?” Liam asks.
“It means, all supernaturals will be looking to the Guardians for assistance when wars between the species occur. The Guardians will be asked to take sides. I feel like we are on the cusp of a change with the Guardians. Something has changed with the birth of Cara and the Guardians finally being given access to their fated mates. Whether intentional or not, the role of the Guardians is and will change in the next generation. We will have to see what happens and how that unfolds.”
It was during one of these visits with Ailduin and Aolis that Cara went into labor.
We all stayed, knowing that this pregnancy had been difficult, and the delivery was no less difficult. Cara labored for hours, and it was not until the baby was in distress that they called me in to see if I could help.
I wasn’t sure what to do, but I thought my advanced healing power might help. I put one hand on Cara’s stomach, feeling her little girl and the other hand on Cara’s forehead. I closed my eyes and pushed my healing toward both of them. I had to be careful, I was fairly advanced in my own pregnancy at the time, but I was able to give them both a boost of healing, ensuring that Cara didn’t bleed out and that baby Lily’s heart continued to beat.
It was Aolis, who snuck in, that seemed to make the biggest impact. He came up beside the doctor, reaching out his hand to touch the top of Lily’s head that was breaching and just visible between Cara’s legs. Rik was talking to Cara and didn’t see it. Cara was in so much distress that I doubt she even knew he was there. The doctor started to push Aolis away, when Lily started to move through the birth canal, almost as if she was trying to get to Aolis. It was the strangest thing I had ever seen.
The doctor moved to give him room and watched as Aolis gently coaxed Lily through the birthing canal while Cara pushed. Aolis was the one that held her as she was delivered, a strange look of reverence and love on his face. The doctor quickly swooped in, rubbing Lily with a towel, cleaning her up and getting her to cry before handing her over to Cara. The moment Cara held her baby girl in her arms, I knew that everything would be alright for both of them.
I take Aolis by the hand and pull him from the room with me, his eyes never leaving Lily. When we get outside the door, Liam is there, waiting for me. I turn to Aolis. “What was that?”
He looks at me. “I’m not sure. I could hear her distress and her desire to be born but she couldn’t find her way, so I helped her.” He turned looking toward the delivery room again. “She’s the most beautiful baby I’ve ever seen.”
I look at Liam and back at Aolis. “Aolis?”
“It’s okay. I know she’s too young to recognize the mate bond. I will wait for her.” And with that, he turns and walks out to find his father. Liam and I just stand there, dumbfounded.
After getting our turn to see Cara and Lily post-delivery, Rik looking every bit the proud papa, we head back to our pack.
Another month goes by, and life gets back to normal. Sarah and I begin to take on more work, not just with the packhouse but also with the pack’s business. Sarah is so efficient that it’s easy for us to assist Liam and Dustin.
Liam finally names Evan as his new Gamma, and then names a new lead warrior to replace Evan.
My favorite time of day is after dinner, when it’s just me and Liam. As my pregnancy has progressed, Liam has gotten creative with ways for us to have sex, which is good, because pregnancy, for some reason, has made my desire for him almost insatiable. Liam is happy to oblige me any time I ask.
Tonight, he comes in as I’m getting out of the shower. He does what he has been. doing every day for months. He walks up to me, kisses my gently, then gets down on his knees to talk to our son. He was right, we are having a boy. We decided on a name a while ago, but we haven’t told anyone, waiting until after he’s born.
“How’s my little man doing today, momma?” He says, his hands on either side of my stomach as he sniffs to find the spot where he wants to talk to his son.
“He’s been a very active boy today, daddy.” I tell Liam: “
“That’s my boy.” He says, and then when he finds the spot he wants, he begins. telling his son about his day and his plans for when he’s born.
The nursery is complete and Liam had them put a doorway from our room to the room next door so that we can hear him if he fusses and he’s close enough for meI take Aolis by the hand and pull him from the room with me, his eyes never leaving Lily.

As he’s talking to our son, I feel a splash of warm wetness drip down my legs. Liam stops, pulling back, looking at the floor, then up at me.
“Liam, I think it’s time.”
Liam rushes me to the pack hospital and three hours later, I deliver my beautiful baby boy. Liam wanted to honor my father, as he had done everything in his power to protect me as a child, and we also wanted to honor Clint for helping me reconnect with my Guardian spirit and being like a second father to me.
So, after our son was born, Liam took him into the waiting room where hundreds. of pack members were waiting to hear the news of their Alpha heir’s delivery and Liam proudly announced the birth of Richard Clint Holstin.
