“Let him finish Lily bud.” I tell her softly.
She turns back around. “I’m sending you, Clint, Anders and Calista on a weekend vacation to Maine, where you are set to have a fun weekend. Your flight leaves tomorrow morning at 6am, and I’ve already spoken to both of your teachers and your parents Calista.” He turns looking at Calista.
She nods reaching out to take Lily’s hand. “I won’t take any chances with you, and I’ve given Anders and Clint the rundown of what will be happening. You two are to stay with them at all times. The place I’m sending you is mostly human, but there will be other wolves in the area, so you’ll need to be careful Lily.”
She nods. “Do you have any questions?” He asks them.
When neither of them does, he tells them to go pack. “You have an early day tomorrow. I’m available if you need to speak to me, or if you have any concerns or questions.”
Lily stands, and I take her hand, leading her from the room.
Well, Aaron can’t tell Alpha Mahli his daughter is a Guardian, but I guess he was hoping he’d see her and realize it on his own thank goodness for Alpha Patrick!
My father invited Alpha Mahli to visit. It can only mean one thing. He can’t tell Alpha Mahli about me, but if he is here, there’s a strong possibility that he would see Andra or see her in my eyes. If he didn’t already want me, he would once he knew I was a Guardian. The threat of being taken by Alpha Mahli, and with my father’s help, was very real.
As soon as Clint drops me off at my room, I pack for the weekend. It’s spring, but Maine is cooler than Georgia. I’ve never been, and I’m excited to see someplace new. As soon as I finish packing. I head up to the roof. I’ve become accustomed to sleeping beside Clint, but even if I wasn’t, I know I’d need him and
Donovan to sleep tonight.
When I get to the roof, he is waiting for me. He pulls me into his arms, holding me. “How are doing. Lily bud?”
“Better now.” I told him I’d be honest as much as I could, and so I am. That means opening myself up. making myself vulnerable and I’m hoping I don’t regret it.
He kisses the tip of my nose. “Come on, we need to get some sleep if we’re going to be up early enough. to go catch that flight.”
“Are you sure we won’t oversleep?” I ask him. He pulls his shirt over his head, before sitting down and showing me the travel alarm clock he brought with him tonight.
I pull off my night shirt, having become comfortable sleeping partially naked and skin to skin with Clint. I don’t know why it’s so soothing, but it just feels right, like his skin and mine were meant to touch. I like having my face and hand touching his chest and his hand on my back. The closeness feels….right.
Donovan and Andra immediately start purring at each other and it doesn’t take long before I’m falling asleep.
The alarm wakes us both in the morning and we hurriedly clear up our blankets. “I’m going to take these in to get washed while we’re gone.” He says, grabbing all our blankets. “They should be ready for us when we get back.”
I go back to my room, taking a quick shower and putting my hair in a messy bun before grabbing my bag and heading downstairs. Before I take two steps, Clint is there, taking my bag from me and carrying both of our bags out to the car. I get some quick to-go pre-made breakfast sandwiches, heating them quickly and grab some water, just as I hear Anders and Cali come in from outside.
I put our food and waters in a bag, and all of us pile into the car and head to the airport. “Do we have tickets or anything?” I ask.
“Dad chartered a private plane, just to be safe.” Anders says. “They are expecting us.”
We arrive at the private hanger, and we park the car in the private parking lot. Clint and Anders grab our bags and we load onto the plane. I’ve never flown before so as we take off, I watch as the ground gets smaller and smaller until we’re so high I can’t see it any longer. Then I watch as the sun rises before ! turn to my friends.
“How long is the flight?”
“About two and a half hours. We’re going to Portland and from there, we have a car to get to Boothbay Harbor, which is part of the Boothbay Pack’s territory. However, it’s such a tourist area, that it’s mostly humans and only a handful of wolves.” Clint says before turning to me.
“Even though there aren’t many wolves, Andra, I need you to be very careful and only push forward when it’s the four of us. Do you understand? If there is any danger, Anders and I will handle it.” Donovan has pushed forward, wanting Andra to know that he’s just as serious as Clint.
“We understand.” I answer for both of us. And I do, we’re on this trip to escape an Alpha that would probably kidnap me. I don’t need to be on the run so far from home and protection.
When we arrive, I can see that the area where we are staying is gorgeous. The air is cool and crisp, but everything is starting to bloom after their harsh winter. When we get to the vacation home that Alpha Patrick rented for us, there are only two bedrooms. I’ll have to talk to Cali about our sleeping arrangements. I’d prefer to sleep with Clint, but I don’t want to make her uncomfortable, or force Anders to sleep on the couch.
After we drop off our bags, we head out to look around. We walk to the Harbor and the air coming off the water is chilly. Clint wraps his arms around me as we watch the boats heading out for the day.
“It’s beautiful!” Cali says and I turn to see that Anders has wrapped his arms around her as well. She doesn’t seem upset with the touch or his closeness.
We find a coffee shop and I feel myself relaxing for the first time in a long time. I feel carefree away from the demands of school, the pack and my parents. After coffee, we find that our hike is scheduled for early afternoon. We head back to the vacation house and change into clothes more suitable for hiking.
We drive out to the mountain range and find a place to park. The information that Clint and Anders have on the hike is that we are on pack property, and humans can’t hike here. Normally, we would shift into our wolves, but instead, we stay on foot and begin climbing.
It’s beautiful, the landscape, the view, all of it. As we’re hiking, Clint and I start to pull away from Cali and
Anders. Cali isn’t as in shape as the rest of us, not participating in training like we do. Clint and I start to find rocks and areas where we can test our strength and speed without actually training. We’re laughing and play fighting trying to beat each other at every “test’ we set up for ourselves.
“Are they always like this?” I hear Cali ask.
“I’m not sure. Maybe it’s a Guardian thing.” Anders replies.

Clint and I are racing to the top of a boulder. He bet me a kiss that I couldn’t beat him. I keep moving ahead of him and he keeps grabbing my foot and pulling me back. When we finally reach the top, we both bend over, laughing and panting at our antics. I look down and see that Cali is riding on Anders back. He doesn’t look phased at all that he is hiking with the weight of another person on his back.
Clint pulls me to him. “You lost.” He says, before taking my lips in a scorching kiss.
“You cheated.” I tell him when we pull away.
“All’s fair in love and war.” He says kissing me again..
I laugh. “And which is this? Love or war?”
“Love, absolutely.”
I look at him, waiting for the smirk or laughter. It doesn’t come. He is completely serious. I’m on the verge
??+15 RONUS of kissing him when Anders finally makes his way up the boulder, Cali hanging on him like a monkey.
“Cali, I can’t believe you made Anders carry you!” I exclaim, running over to help him.
“Made him? He insisted on carrying me. I told him to put me down, but he refused.”
“I’ve got her Lily. She barely weighs anything.” Anders says, standing up. He’s not even winded.
