“Of course. You are young, after all, and youth thinks the world will be beautiful once they find their fated mate. I hate to be the one to tell you this, Lily, but that’s not always how it is. Many mates are rejected and many never find their fated mate.”
He leans forward, his eyes intent on me. “You should listen to the wisdom of age – your father, and me. We can tell you what is best for you. Then you wouldn’t have to worry your pretty little head over silly things such as fated mates.”
Okay, now this guy is just being insulting. I already told him I was intelligent. I’m perfectly capable of making my own decisions, so why in the world would I let someone I barely know make any decisions for me. And after today, I’m not sure I want my father making any decisions for me either.
I’m sure this food would be delicious if my stomach wasn’t churning, making me feel like it will all come back up any moment. “You have given me much to think about, Alpha Mahli. Being underage, it’s not a decision that can be made now anyway. I’ll consider your request.” Yeah, consider forgetting all about it and never coming back here again!
I knew you’d make the right decision.” He says, as the waiter comes back asking about dessert.
No, we won’t be having dessert. My future Luna needs to watch her weight.” He says.
I’m not sure this asshole could be any more insulting. Watch my weight? I train 6 hours a day, which is more than I can say for him. I guarantee that I could take this Alpha in a fight.
When we get back into the limousine, Alpha Mahli once again sits beside me. This time, he puts his hand on my knee and begins rubbing his hand on my thigh. Would you like to take me for a test ride?”
I frown, hoping I’m misunderstanding what he means, but knowing if he doesn’t remove his hand, Andra will rip it off. “I’m not sure what you mean?”
“Oh, don’t play coy. You know. See how compatible we are sexually.” He leans in, placing a kiss on my neck before moving to my ear. “I know I’d love to take you for a test ride.”
I pull away, moving as far away as the seat will allow. “Actually, I’ve been saving myself for…..my mating night.” Telling him I’m waiting for my mate won’t work. He’s basically said he doesn’t care about that.
I watch as his eyes widen, then darken with this news. “You’re untouched?” It’s probably supposed to sound like a purr, but it makes my stomach clench in revulsion.
I swallow, hard. “Yes.” It comes out as a squeak. Please goddess get me out of this car.
“Well, that changes things. It will make the night of your birthday so much more exciting when I am your first.” He’s practically salivating at the thought.
When we get to the packhouse, he helps me out of the car. “I’m really tired. It’s been a long day and you’ve given me so much to think about. Goodnight Alpha.”
I don’t give him a chance to respond. I hurry to my room, running into the bathroom before throwing up everything that I had for dinner.
‘Andra, please tell me we won’t accept him as our mate.’ For the first time since I got my wolf, she is quiet, and I feel absolutely alone.
When I come out, I grab my phone and see a text from Clint. It immediately settles my nerves.
I know it’s late, but I need to know that I’ll see him tomorrow. Somehow, he knew something was off about this visit. I want to tell him about it and see if he has any ideas for how I can reject the advances of this Alpha without it causing problems for our pack.
While he will be back tomorrow, it won’t be until late. He tells me not to tell my father. Fat chance, I don’t even know where he is. I haven’t seen him since this morning.
I go lock the door to my room, knowing that it won’t keep Alpha Mahli out and knowing that I won’t sleep a wink tonight.
I change into my pajamas, thankful that I brought a top and bottom set rather than just a nightshirt. I grab the blanket off the bed and pull it around me, sitting
1/1 on the window ledge, listening to the clock slowly tick through the night.
At one point, I hear the doorknob jingle softly. Thankfully, Alpha Mahli doesn’t use the key to come in.
Then, somewhere in the middle of the night, I feel a jolt and Andra is back.
“Lily, go to the bathroom.’ She says to me.
‘What? Why?’ I ask her.
‘Just do it.’ She says and I get up and go into the bathroom. I turn on the light.
“What is it?” I ask her.
‘Look in the mirror.’ She says, pushing forward.
I do and my hands fly to my mouth. ‘Andra, why are your eyes gold?’
“We’ve been given the gift of a Guardian. I’m a Guardian now.’
‘Andra, we can’t let Alpha Mahli know. We can’t let anyone know. You know what they do to female Guardians. Alpha Mahli would never let us leave. I don’t even want to tell Alpha Patrick. You need to stay far back in my mind until we get home. Don’t, for any reason, come forward, no matter what.’ I say, panicking. ‘Agreed, but I think there is someone we should tell, someone that can help us. She says. Clint and Donovan.
‘We need to get home first.’ I tell her before pulling her back.
At 5 am, I change into my clothes, pack my bag and head downstairs to get som coffee and wait for my father. When he gets there, he looks terrible.
“Lily, have you heard from Clint? Is he coming back today?” He asks me in a rus
“Yes, he said they are on their way back.” It’s not a lie, its just not the entire truth.
He runs his fingers through his hair. “Fine.” He says as if he’s angry with me. “Good morning.” Alpha Mahli says, walking into the room. He comes over and takes my hands. “How did you sleep, darling? I tried to check on you, but you locked the door.” I’m guessing by ‘check’ he means crawling into my
“I’m great. But I think we have to head back now.” I say looking at my bed. father.
His entire demeaner has changed as he watches the exchange between Alpha Mahli and I. “So, we have an agreement?” He says, looking at Alpha Mahli. “Oh yes. I’ve instructed your daughter to listen to those of us that are more experienced and can help her understand that waiting for a fated mate is unnecessary. Right, darling?” He asks me. I can do nothing but force a smile.
I look at my dad. “We need to get going.”
Alpha Mahli walks us to our car. Then, before I know what he’s doing, he pulls me in and kisses me, forcing his tongue into my mouth. I pull away from him, looking at my father who just gets in the car.
“Until I see you again, darling.” He says. I quickly make my escape and get into the car.
I wait until we are off pack lands before laying into my father. “What the actual fuck, Dad!”
“Don’t you dare use that language with me, Lily.”
“I think I’m entitled to use whatever language I want when it feels like my father is selling me to an Alpha. You know that shit’s illegal, right?” I yell at him.
“You would be lucky to have Alpha Mahli as a mate. He’s wealthy and can take care of you.”
