“Uh, sure.”
“Good, I’ll meet you back down here in 45 minutes?”
“Yeah, sure.” He looks like a deer in headlights, but at least I have someone other than Anders to take me school.
I mind link Cali, telling her I got a different ride to school and asking her if we can eat at the today instead of with Anders and Clint.
She agrees but only after I promise to tell her what’s going on. e track field
After getting ready for school, I grab my bag and walk downstairs. Anders and Clint are waiting for me. I’m riding with Lucas today.” I say and turn to him. His eyes are wide, but he doesn’t say anything turning and gesturing for me to precede him out the door.
I hear Clint snarl behind me, but I just ignore him.
When I get to school, I thank Lucas and head to my locker. I’m just closing the door when Cali comes up beside me and pulls me into a hug. “I don’t know what happened, but I’m here for you.” She says quietly in my ear.
I wrap my arms around my dearest friend. “Thank you.”
“What happened?” Anders says as we watch Lily walk out the door with Lucas. I can’t believe that douchebag is taking my mate to school. I can’t believe any of this is happening. Donovan is pacing angrily in my head, and I want to hit something or someone so bad my fists are twitching.
Anders hand comes down on my shoulder, forcing my attention to him. “What happened?” He asks slowly, forcing me to focus on him.
I take a deep breath and we walk out to his car. I wait until I’m inside before telling him about the events of the night before. He whistles low. “That’s a fucking mess, Clint.”
“No fucking kidding. Anders. Why do you think I’m about ready to explode?”
“What are you going to do?”
“I don’t know. She won’t even speak to me. She has agreed to train with me in the afternoons and your dad recommended that I not say anything about this and focus on training. After this morning. I think he’s right.”
“My father usually is.” Anders says, as we pull up to Calista’s house. She doesn’t seem surprised that Lily isn’t with us today. Anders hops out and opens the door for her, kissing her before she gets in. My heart feels like it’s breaking. That should have been how my morning went with my mate.
“I’ll move to the back.” I say and switch places with Calista. I don’t want to talk, I need to think, which is practically impossible with Donovan snarling at me and my stupidity, as he calls it.
“What would you call it?’ He asks me.
‘I didn’t do anything stupid. Maybe I was distracted and not paying attention to the signs, but I never wanted to kiss Anna. You know I don’t want anyone other than Lily.”
“We’re following Patrick’s advice and I’m running training today.”
‘Fine. I’ll do anything as long as we get to spend some time with our mate.”
In Chemistry, I try to engage Lily in conversation about anything. She only speaks about our project. Her demeaner is so cold, it’s like I’m no one to her, like this weekend never happened. She refuses to look at me and answers my questions with the least amount of words possible.
In Literature she completely ignores me, and I’m so distracted I can’t answer a single question asked of me. In complete contrast, Lily has every answer to every question. I’d be utterly impressed if I wasn’t so devastated.
At lunch, neither Lily nor Calista is anywhere to be found. “Okay, you need to fix this. Your issues with your mate are now impacting my time with mine.” Anders says to me.
“I’m open to suggestions,” I tell him.
“I wish I had words of wisdom for you, my friend. I guess I would go with my dad’s suggestion. Use.
Donovan.”
“Yeah, that’s what I’m going to do for training. Donovan will train Andra. At least I’ll get to spend some time with her.”
Anders looks thoughtful for a moment. “You know, if that goes well, maybe have Donovan go see her tonight.”
“What do you mean?”
He turns and looks at me. “I mean, shift and have Donovan go to her room. Maybe she’ll let him in. Don’t shift back, let him spend the time with her, but you can be there with them. It may help. You need to do something, my brother, because you seem like you’re about to snap.”
“I am.” I say quietly, forcing the lump in my throat back. “It’s a good idea. I’ll try it.”
“Good. I’ll think of some other ideas if that doesn’t work. You know I’m here for you.”
I look at my friend and for the first time, I see him as the Alpha he will become in a very short amount of time. “You’re going to be an amazing Alpha, do you know that?”

He chuckles, shaking his head at me.
“I’m serious. Most of the time I don’t see you as my Alpha, I see you as my friend, my brother. But you will be one hell of an Alpha and our pack will flourish because they have you.”
“Thanks man. That means a lot coming from you.”
History class is the same as Literature. Lily ignores me and I can do nothing but stare at her longingly, like a lost puppy, which is exactly how I feel. I had a taste of perfection and having it ripped away from me so quickly and easily has left me feeling lost and adrift.
I’m thankful that, after school I have two and half hours of training time with Lily and Andra. I drop off my things and head outside, shifting immediately. Donovan sits and waits for Lily.
I see Lily before she sees me. She’s looking around, hesitantly. She doesn’t want to train with me, I can tell by her demeanor. Donovan was right, this will make her feel more comfortable.
When she sees Donovan, I see the first smile I’ve seen in over a day on her face. “Donovan, what are your doing?” She comes over and takes his face in her hands, kissing his furry head. He licks her face, and I can’t help but sigh as the tension around my heart eases at her closeness.
“Gross Donovan!” She says, wiping her face and laughing. It’s such a beautiful sound. How can I miss something so much that I’ve only been without for such a short time?
“So, you and Andra are training today?”
He woofs at her. “Okay, give me a minute.”
I
There’s no one around, so her going behind the tree to strip and shift is specifically so I won’t see her. It makes me sad again, but at least we get some time with her and Andra this afternoon.
