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.
Friday night, I plead out of studying to spend some time with Calista. Tomorrow is her 18th birthday, so I wanted to get her something special. Clint had asked what I planned to do and when I told him, he asked if he could pay for the gift and put his name on it too. I agreed, especially since I have limited funds.
After dinner on Friday, Anders, Calista, Clint and I go sit out on the back patio. Anders prepared a spot that is separated from the rest, so we’d have a bit of privacy. I know she’s going to spend the morning with her parents before coming over to get ready for Prom. The guys have something planned, but they’ve refused to tell us what it is.
After we sit down, I hand Calista the gift from me and Clint. After talking about it, Clint wanted to add a second gift, and I agreed. The first gift is a picture of me and Cali. It was when we were in Maine and we are standing in front of the marina in the quaint town where we stayed. That weekend was so special, I wanted to memorialize it for her.
She gets teary eyed when she sees it before holding it against her chest and thanking me. She sets it down and pulls me in for a hug. I love you, Lily.”
“I love you too, Cali.” I tell her.
Next, she opens the second picture that Clint wanted to get her. It’s a great picture, I just wasn’t sure how she’d feel about it, but Clint was persistent. When she opens it, she holds it for a moment, just staring at it. I look at Clint, but he’s focused on Cali.
I see a tear roll down her face and see her trying to swallow what must be a lump in her throat. “It’s perfect.” She says, looking up at Anders. It’s a picture of the two of them. Anders had said something to Call, and she has her head thrown back in laughter in a rare moment of uninhibited joy. While that would make the picture beautiful by itself, the look that Anders is giving her makes it even better. It’s intense, full of love and admiration. He isn’t looking at the camera, you can tell he only has eyes for her.
Anders reaches out and wipes the tears from her cheeks. “Will you open mine?”
She nods, wiping her tears with the back of her hand. She looks at the picture once more before thanking us and placing it on the table, taking the box that Anders gives to her. Based on the size, I’m guessing he got her jewelry.
I look at Clint and I can tell he’s already seen it. I haven’t, so I lean forward while she opens the box. When she does, we both gasp. It’s an earring and necklace set with an aquamarine stone surrounded by sapphires. It’s exactly what her eyes look like when Shali is shining in them.
“Oh Cali. It’s beautiful.” I say.
“I love you, Calista.” Anders says and leans in, kissing her softly. As the kiss deepens, Clint nudges me and we quietly leave them to celebrate alone.
When we get far enough away, I turn to Clint. “He’s her mate, isn’t he?”
He shrugs, not willing to answer me. I push him against a tree, pinning him with my hips. “Yes or no, Clint
Nelson.”
I see the challenge in his eyes. “What if I refuse to tell you, Lily bud. After all, you only have a few hours left until you’ll know for sure.”
I pout. “I thought mates wanted to give their mates everything?”
He chuckles at me. “Nice try. I will give you the world, but for this, you just have to be patient.”
I lean in, nipping his bottom lip. I watch as his eyes darken. “What will it take. Mate.” Donovan flashes in his eyes and in an instant, our positions are reversed, and he has me pinned against the tree, one of his legs between mine. I can feel his hard length pressed against my stomach.
“Say it again.” His voice is deep with Donovan’s, but rough and ragged.
“What? Mate?” I say in a purring tone, rubbing my nose against his neck before moving to his ear.” Mate.” I whisper licking his ear lobe into my mouth and gently nibbling on it. I feel his dick twitch against my stomach.
“Won’t you tell me?” I say, moving down to his mate mark and licking the spot that in a week, I hope to be sinking my canines into.
“Yes.” He says and this time it’s breathy, needy.
“Yes what, my sexy mate?”
“Yes, she’s his mate, just as you are mine.”
“I am yours, mate.”
He growls, before taking my mouth in a scorching kiss, leaving me breathless. “In one week Lily bud, one week, you will be mine and this pretty little neck of yours will wear my mark so everyone knows it.”
“I can’t wait, mate.”
The next morning, I catch Cali leaving Anders room. She’s wearing his clothes and his mate mark on her neck.
The week before Lily’s birthday must be the slowest of my life. All I want is for Sunday to arrive so I can claim her as mine for all the world to see.
Anders wasted no time marking Calista. He made sure they were together at midnight and Shall recognized him immediately. By morning, she was officially our future Luna. Olivia and Patrick couldn’t be happier, and plans for the Alpha and Luna ceremonies have started. Calista officially moved in the day after her birthday, her parents thrilled that she is Anders’ mate.
Prom was wonderful. I got to dance with my mate all night. She looked stunning and I couldn’t tear my eyes away from her. Anders and I got hotel rooms and enjoyed the private time with our mates. While ! want nothing more than to bury myself in my mate, I want to make her birthday special, so I held off.
I think she was surprised, but she didn’t fight me. It’s good that she didn’t because I have very little restraint when it comes to Lily. I did, however, sink my teeth into her tight ass cheek. She says she has no curves, but she does. My mate will never be considered voluptuous, but she’s perfect for me. And having my venom in her again, having my scent mixed with hers, even for a short time, made me happy.
The week before her birthday is filled with final exams. It’s the seniors last week of school. So, between training, where I have Lily battling three warriors at a time now, finals, and our evening warrior training. you’d think my days would go quickly, but they don’t. Or at least, not quickly enough for me.
