Filed to story: Cara Nelson The Guardian: Werewolf Book PDF Free
When she tells me she thinks I’m after her only to sleep with her, I know I’ve got my work cut out for me. Yeah, I’ve been pretty indiscriminate with my bed partners, but I’ve never given any of them any reason to think that they were anything more than a short-term good time. I’ve always wanted my mate, I just didn’t really think about the need to wait for her, or how she might feel about me given my extensive history. Honestly, none of the other women I’ve been with cared that I’d slept around. I guess that’s why Lily is my mate, she does care and now I need to do some damage control.
First and foremost, I need to figure out when she turns 18. Then, I need to woo her until then so she’s willing to accept our mate bond when she finally feels it. Two classes later, I’m sitting in Literature. I could care less about books written hundreds of years ago. It will do nothing to make me a better Guardian, but it’s required to graduate, so I’m here. I’m lounging in my chair, my eyes closed and contemplating a nap, when I smell her scent. My eyes snap open as she walks past my desk and sits three seats in front of me. How have I never realized that she was in my class?
‘Because you’re an idiot.’ Donovan says to me. ‘Move closer to her, change seats with that girl behind her.’
I stand, grabbing my bag. “Hey Anna.”
“Hey Clint.” She looks up at me and practically purrs. Damn, I didn’t think this through. I’ve slept with Anna and unlike Lily, she doesn’t seem to mind being my bedwarmer.
“I was hoping I could get you to switch seats with me.” I give her my best smile Out of the corner of my eye, I see Lily’s body go rigid.
I watch Anna’s face go from excited to confused before she looks at the back of Lily’s head. “Oh, uh, sure.”
She grabs her things and goes to move past me, placing her hand on my waist and sliding it across my abs. What would have once had me going hard and making plans for tonight, now is just aggravating me. I don’t want Lily getting the wrong idea. “Maybe I’ll see you later?” She asks, her hand sliding to the edge. of my jeans.
“Uh, yeah, maybe.” I say getting more and more uncomfortable.
Our teacher comes in and Anna moves to my seat, while I sit in hers. I look at Lily, her back is ramrod straight.
The teacher begins discussing whatever novel we’re supposed to be reading. I lean forward when the teacher’s back is turned. “Hey Lily.” I whisper quietly. The teacher is a werewolf just like everyone else in the class.
She ignores me, so I reach out and begin to tug on her hair. It’s really soft and all I can think about is wrapping my fingers in it while kissing her.
Lily reaches back and pulls her hair out of my hand, glaring at me over her shoulder. I smirk at her and do it again.
“Mr. Nelson, perhaps you can focus more on the class and less on Miss Raines’ hair.” The teacher calls me out. I hear the class snicker, but I don’t care.
“Sorry Mr. Roberts, but Lily’s hair is like silk. It’s hard to resist.”
“You’re a Guardian Mr. Nelson, I’m sure you’ll find a way.” He says before turning back around.
Lily grabs her hair, pulling it over one shoulder and glaring at me before turning back around. I’m lost in her scent and have no idea what the teacher is saying. Lily on the other hand, seems to be totally unaffected by my presence and is asking and answering questions.
When class is done, Lily grabs her bag and tries to move past me, but I stand up and get in her way. “What are you doing after school?” I ask her.
“Going home.” She tells me, her head tilted up so she can glare at me, as I’m nearly a foot taller than her. I get lost for a moment in the blue of her eyes.
She goes to push past me, when I remember my point. “Anders and I can drive you and Calista home.”
She steps back and looks up at me again. “No thanks, now move out of my way.” I lean in toward her. “And if I don’t?”
In one second, I went from feeling in total control of the situation to the next where I am completely at her mercy. Without a care in the world, she reached up and grabbed my balls in her hand, twisting it just to the point of pain. “If you don’t, I’ll make sure that you and Anna can’t have any fun tonight. MOVE!” She demands, and I step out of her way.
I watch her walk out of class without a backward glance.
‘Smooth move idiot. You pissed off our mate. Fix it!’ Donovan growls in my head. ‘Do you have any bright ideas?’ I ask my snide wolf.
“Yeah, stop trying to coerce her and get her to like you.’
Easier said than done.
What an arrogant asshole! If he thinks because he’s bigger than I am that he can intimidate me, he’s got another thing coming. Did I feel badly that I basically threatened to rip his balls off, not even a little. Did I happen to feel the large bulge in his pants at the same time? Yes, and wow! That’s all I can say, wow.
I find Calista at lunch and we decide to find a private place to eat away from either of the men who have decided to pursue us relentlessly. We settle in and I listen to her vent about how Alpha Anders is doing basically the same thing as Clint, moving to sit next to her, trying to talk to her in class, constantly asking her out. It’s maddening. I tell her about Clint and what happened in Chem and Lit classes.
“Do you think they’ve set up some type of competition between them?” She asks me.
“What do you mean?”
I watch as Calista stares thoughtfully out over the track field where we decided to have our lunch. “Well, you and I are basically the only hold outs in the pack. Do you….do you think that this is just a game to see which of them can get one of us into their bed first?”
“That’s a terrible thought Cali.” I say, but then I think about it. Competition. It’s what Alphas and apparently Guardians thrive on. What if she’s right and they’ve set up some kind of competition between them to see who can make the final stand outs break first.-
“Well, that’s just pissed me off all over again.” I tell Cali.
“Do you think they would do that?” My dear friend asks quietly.
I take her hand. Cali is a gentler soul than I am. It’s one of the reasons she didn’t continue in warrior training. She doesn’t like to hurt anyone for any reason. Personally, I think she’d make a fantastic Luna. She’s got the perfect personality for it, loving and caring to everyone around her. And when you’re in her inner circle, there isn’t anything she wouldn’t do for you.
Unlike me, I don’t have any problem causing pain if it gets the point across, like grabbing Clint’s balls. That makes me a much better candidate for warrior than Luna. Although, my path is one I can choose. Calista will have to be mated to an Alpha to become a Luna. However, she is focusing her studies on medicine which is an area she can choose and will be great at.
“I honestly don’t know.” I answer my friend.
After lunch we head back to our next classes. I have one more with Clint, although, judging his reaction to our Lit class, he probably doesn’t realize it. Maybe I can sneak in and find a way to keep him from sitting next to me. Of all my classes, human history is the most boring to me. We have to learn it so we can mingle with the humans, but their history and ours is very different. They tend to focus on their wars, whereas, in the supernatural community, fighting is very common. Packs fight for land, for power and for prestige. It’s not uncommon for packs to attack each other and deaths or permanent injuries are common. It’s one of the reasons that having a powerful Alpha and, in our case, a powerful Guardian is so important. It gives our pack an advantage. Even if another pack challenges ours, it’s very unlikely that they will win.
When I get to my history class, I see that Clint-hasn’t arrived yet. I sit in my usual seat, which is in the front by the window. That still leaves two seats where he can sit and be too close to me, one beside me and one behind me. I’m still trying to figure out how to keep him away from me, when the man in question plops down in the seat beside me.
“That seat is assigned to someone else.” I tell him.
“We don’t have assigned seats in this class, Lily.”
“Don’t you prefer the back, Clint? I usually see you snoring away back there.’
“Oh, so you’ve noticed me?”
“Still fishing for compliments? Don’t you have enough girls stroking your ego and other body parts?” I ask in a snarky tone, and I swear I can see him flinch.
“I think you have the wrong idea about me
I turn to face him, staring him straight in the eye. “Do I?”
I watch as his mouth opens and closes a couple of times, no words coming out.
