“Clint, you’re dead on your feet. Come in and lay down.”
I don’t have the energy or the will to argue with her. She leaves her door cracked open and takes me to her bed, tucking me in. “What are you going to do while I sleep?” I ask.
“I need to catch up on homework and then I’ll order food for us to have when you wake up.”
I pat the bed beside me. “I need to catch up on homework too, Lily bud. Probably a lot more than you do, since I haven’t been able to focus all week. Come lay down with me. It will help me to sleep and then we can start our homework over dinner. Deal?”
I honestly don’t need her to lay down with me. The scent of her is all over the bed and I could sleep easily, but I’ve missed her so much. I just want to curl up around her,
She rolls her r eyes at me but comes over and crawls into bed. “I can’t sleep too long, otherwise I won’t be able to sleep tonight.”
“Wake me when you get up.” I say as I wrap my arms around her, my entire body relaxing, and I bury my
I I
I face in her hair before I fall asleep.
When I feel Lily begin to stir, I wrap my arms more tightly around her. “Just a little while longer. I’m still healing.” My voice much deeper than it should be.
That has my eyes shooting open, Lily’s head turning to look at me over her shoulder. “Donovan?” We ask in unison.
“Mmhmmm.” He says, snuggling closer to Lily.
She turns over in my arms, facing me. She begins stroking my hair and my face as if Donovan was in wolf form. Donovan immediately begins purring at her. “There’s that sound I love.” She says to him.
I watch her through Donovan’s eyes, letting him stay forward with her. Her touch will heal him too.
“How did he convince you to come back?” He asks her.
I watch as Lily’s azure eyes shift to green and rim with gold as Andra comes forward. “He told us that we are your mates.”
Donovan nuzzles Andra’s nose. “You are. You are mine, little one.”
Andra’s answering purr makes it nearly impossible to hear their conversation. “I’m very happy about that, even though I can’t feel it yet. Lily isn’t quite there, but Clint is being patient.”
“You both have every right to be angry with him. We are yours as much as you are ours. That she-wolf is lucky to be alive. I wanted to kill her that night.”
Donovan begins rubbing his face on hers, trying to scent her, but it won’t work in our human form. The meaning is still there, and Andra seems to appreciate the gesture. “What else did I miss?” He asks her.
Andra tells him and when she’s nearly done, there is a knock at the door before Calvin walks in, carrying food. He stops when he sees both of our eyes shining gold.
“Guardians.” He nods his head, acknowledging our status and our wolves being forward. I watch as Nolan, Calvin’s wolf pushes forward.
“Anders spoke to Alpha Patrick. He has agreed that you can stay in Lily’s room tonight Clint, as long as it is okay with Lily. Anders convinced him that you would heal faster in her presence and since she has agreed to you being her primary guard again, the sooner you are at full strength, the better for everyone. I can see that Anders was right, since Donovan is peering through your eyes.”
As he walks in, Calvin pulls Nolan back. “I’ve brought food for the two of you. You missed dinner.” He sets the food on the table. “Make sure you eat. Clint, you’ve been given a pass on training tomorrow, but Lily, you need to be there.”
She nods, sitting up. She has pulled Andra back, so Donovan shifts to the back of my mind to continue healing.
“I’ll be there.” I say.
She turns and looks at me. “Clint…”
“Where you go, I go, Lily bud.”
The scent of the food hits my nose and my stomach growls loudly. Calvin smiles. “I brought enough for three, so it should fill you up. If you need anything, I’m just a couple doors away.” He says before leaving and closing the door behind him.
Lily and I eat, which helps me feel even stronger, then we do homework. I’m not caught up, but I will be this weekend. Lily agreed to help me catch up. It’s not exactly like it was before the ‘Anna incident” but it’s close.
I sleep curled up around Lily, my face buried in her neck and by morning, Donovan is back to full strength. We both go to training and once Patrick sees that I’m back to full strength, he lets me spar.
When we finish, Anders comes over. “So, I see it worked.”
“What’s that?” I ask, not sure what Anders is talking about.
“You, spending the night with Lily. I told dad it would help you heal faster. I could only get you the one night, but it seems to have done the trick.”
“It did. Thanks, man.”
“That’s what brothers are for.”
When it’s time to go to school, I don’t see Lucas anywhere and Lily comes down the stairs, looking like she’s planning to ride with us. Thankfully Anders asks her.
“Are you with us today, Lily?”
“I am. I thought I was glued to Clint until I turn 18.”
“You are.” I lean in closer as we walk to the car. “Does this mean I don’t have to sit in on a date with you and Lucas?”
She turns to as I open her door. “We cancelled our plans until I know what’s going on between you and me.”
“Good. Because what’s going on with you and me is forever, so Lucas will never be taking my mate on a date.”
I catch her smiling as I close the door. That’s a good sign, and my heart relaxes knowing I won’t have to watch someone else flirting with my mate.
Friday goes much better than the rest of the week. Lily is talking and laughing with me again. I’m so happy, I feel as light as air.
The rest of the day and the weekend go back to the normal we had before our weekend away. Lily and I meet on the roof and now the blankets smell like her again. She isn’t ready for any intimacy, and I am respecting her decision, letting her drive our relationship in the direction and speed she’s comfortable with.
She is letting me kiss her again, and I’ve devoured her sweet mouth more times than I can say, but it’s never enough. Her taste, her sweet moans and feeling her body respond to me, just makes me want her more and more.
On Sunday night, Patrick calls us into his office. When we arrive, Anders and Calvin are already there.
