Dad, or maybe Donovan, growled about that. I quickly jumped in with damage control. I didn’t want Dad saying anything to Alpha Anders. “It’s fine Dad. He’ll figure it out eventually.
After training and dinner, I was up in my room finishing my homework when my phone rang. I saw it was Liam and sighed. I knew this was coming.
“Good evening Liam. To what do I owe the pleasure of a call?”
“I think you know very well Cara. Yesterday it was, and I quote only flowers, not a romantic dinner’.”
“Well, it wasn’t dinner.” I reply awkwardly. What do I even say here? I have no idea who is doing this.
“Do I need to come have lunch with you tomorrow Cara?” Even through the phone I could feel his need to show his dominance to the other wolf that he feels is threatening his claim on me. He’s been patient. But now he has, what he would consider, competition.
“That’s not necessary, Liam. I’m sure you have more important things to do than have lunch at the local high school.”
“Artemis accepted the offering.” It was a statement, not a question, but I answered anyway. “Yes.”
I swear I could hear him grinding his teeth through the phone. It was quiet for so long that I began to wonder if he was still on the line or if he smashed the phone and disconnected the call.
“Liam?”
“I’ll see you soon Cara.” he stated abruptly and hung up.
After that, I decided to call it a night. The air was warming up and I went to my window and opened it to let in fresh air while I slept. I laid in bed thinking of what all this could possibly mean. Artemis basically had two wolves staking their claim on her, which also meant they were staking their claim on me. Artemis was purring in my head, thinking of two wolves fighting over her.
‘What is wrong with you? One of those wolves is an Alpha and would kick the other wolf’s ass.”
‘Only if the other wolf isn’t Alpha.’ The thought of two Alphas fighting over her has her purring so loud I feel like my bed should be vibrating. For me though, it’s is Alpha Rik. Since he doesn’t even know who I am, it can’t be him. Unless someone told him. Unless he’s figured it out. But even if he knows who I am, why do this? It’s likely that I’ll be his Guardian even if he doesn’t go to all this effort. Unless…..unless he’s worried about Liam. He did mention that he saw Liam and I Friday night. So, maybe this is a way to ensure that I remain in our pack?
Oh holy hell! Two Alphas in a fight over having me as their Luna? Wars start because of things like this. This could be terrible. It could cause so many problems. And what if neither of them is my fated mate? Will there be three of them fighting over me?
‘We could call it “The Alphas’ Rumble” or “Battle for a Luna”. Or…what about ” The Guardian’s Battleground?” my very unhelpful wolf states.
‘Oh for crying out loud Artemis! We’re supposed to protect the packs, not cause chaos and war!”
“Those are human emotions. For wolves, only the strongest male can mate with the female. So it makes perfect sense that they would fight over me.’ she replies, completely unphased.
I roll my eyes and give t admirer is and fast. on my wolf. I really need to figure out who my secret
What do you think? Is Artemis right? Should Rik and Liam battle it out? And what if neither of them ends up being her fated mate?
The next day, I pick up Jason and head to school.
“So, what do you think today’s surprise will be?” He asks as soon as he gets in the car.
I look over at him, “What makes you think there will be another gift today?”
“Come on Car. The man basically staked a claim yesterday. You think he isn’t going to follow that up with something today?”
“What do you think it will be?” I ask him.
No clue, but I do know this. Anyone who is ANYONE will be in the cafeteria for lunch today to see what happens.” Great. Just what I don’t want.
“Still no clue who it is?” He asks, looking over at me as we pull into the parking lot. “Not one, but I’m guessing someone at this school is laying bets. Can you find out who is in the running for me? That may help me narrow it down some.
“Anything for you my friend!” And that’s just one of the many reasons that Jason is my best friend.
All day long, the school is buzzing about my secret admirer. Seriously, does no one in this school have a life?
When the bell rings for lunch, I admit to feeling some trepidation. First, I’m concerned that Liam may make a guest appearance. I have no idea how that will go over, but I know it won’t be good. And then, there’s the fact that everyone will be watching me to see what happens next.
I walk into the cafeteria and look around. Everyone stops what they are doing and looks at me, watching. I stand there for a second, before heading to the lunch line to get food. No one stops me or follows me, so I get my lunch and go to sit down. Conversations start up again and I can tell everyone is a bit disappointed that nothing is happening. If I’m being honest with myself, I’m a bit. t disappointed as well. Like Jason, I had thought that my secret admirer would do something after the blatant offering and Artemis’s acceptance yesterday.
As I begin to eat, a hush falls over the cafeteria and I whip my head up to see what is happening. A barbershop quartet is walking my way. The four older wolves are wearing what I think of as the standard uniform, a red and white vertically striped button down vest over a long sleeved white shirt. This is paired with black slacks and the classic point, the hat. It’s a small brimmed white hat with a thick red hat band wrapping around the bottom half of the crown that matches the is Alpha Rik. Since he doesn’t even know who I am, it can’t be him. Unless someone told him. Unless he’s figured it out. But even if he knows who I am, why do this? It’s likely that I’ll be his Guardian even if he doesn’t go to all this effort. Unless…..unless he’s worried about Liam. He did mention that he saw Liam and I Friday night.

A small smile spreads across my face. He didn’t let me down. Today I was going to be serenaded. Damn, this guy’s good.
One of the guys takes out a harmonica and blows the key that they will begin singing in. It’s not a song that I’ve ever heard, but I realize quickly that the song must be called You’re a Heavenly Thing
When they sing the line about “sprinkled roses all over you”, they actually sprinkle rose petals over my head. And when they sing “took the model and threw it away”, I had to laugh, as they mimed throwing something away.
Then, at the end, they kept singing “you’re all mine, all mine”. He is indeed staking his claim again, telling everyone here that I’m his.
When they were done, everyone, including me, stands and claps. They take their bows and then turn back to me. “Let me guess. There’s a card?”
One guy pulls an envelope out of his pocket and hands it to me as they make their exit. I wait until they were gone before opening the card.
Cara,
Let me make my intentions clear
I want to make you mine.
