The next morning, I’m up early, adrenaline pumping through my veins. I expect to see Cera this morning. It is my only time to see her today and I can’t wait.
As soon as I arrive at her home, I look up at her window and see her. She was waiting for me. I smile up at her and nod my head, letting her know I’ve seen her. Maybe I work extra hard in training to show off a bit for my girl. She’s watching and I want her to see me as a strong and powerful leader.
When training is done, I wait for everyone to head out. I’m enjoying the view, just watching her in her window. When Mr. Nelson quietly tells me to ‘move along Alpha’ I point up at her, without ever losing eye contact then bring my fist to my chest. She has my heart. That will never change.
I walk backward toward the forest line, never breaking eye contact or moving my fist from my heart. I’m thrilled that she doesn’t look away. She sits by her window and watches me until I know I have to leave. I don’t want to, but if I don’t right now, I may just skip school altogether and stay the day with her.
When I get back to the pack house, I eat breakfast with my pack members before getting ready for school. All morning, I’m trying to think of ways that I can see her, or at least, let her know I’m thinking of her.
It’s mid-morning and we’re in between classes. Chase and I are surrounded by a group of females again. I’m not really paying attention. I’m still trying to figure out how to see Cara this afternoon, when my favorite scent in the world hits my nose, vanilla and honey with a hint of lavender.
My head whips up and there she is. For a moment, I can’t believe it. What is she doing here? I push through the people around me to get to her.
When I do, I look over her body, making sure that she doesn’t have any residual injuries. I can’t help but notice that the puncture wounds around her neck are gone. Jason and Lacey told me they were, but it makes both Kai and I feel better actually seeing it.
When she laughs at my litany of questions, I can’t help but smile back. She’s here. I was just wondering how I could see her today and she’s here, right in front of me. My whole day just got so much better.
When she gives me an invitation to dinner, there is only one response. Yes! I love her teasing me about being afraid of her father. But I’m pretty sure his threat was a serious one and I’d be stupid to ever underestimate him.
I love how she says that I’m lucky that she’s MY Guardian. I’m much more serious when I agree, because I’m not joking. I feel like the luckiest man in the world with the way she’s looking at me.
As soon as she licks her lips, I’m done. All of my thoughts of spending time with her turn to having her in my arms, tasting her, touching her, finding ways to make the mate bond sparks travel over both of our bodies. I lean in so I can smell her delicious scent while I give her fair warning. If she doesn’t stop licking her lips, I won’t be able to control myself and I don’t care who sees, I’ll kiss her senseless. I slide my nose across her cheek, breathing in her scent before standing up and smirking at her. Her eyes have gone a little glassy and dazed. Perfect!
When we arrive at her classroom, it takes everything in me to not kiss her before I walk away to get to my class.
The rest of the day, I make a point to meet her after class and walk her to her next class. After the second time, she is looking for me and smiles when she sees me walking up to her. “You know, you don’t have to carry my bag to every class.” She says to me as we walk.
“What if I want to?” I look at her. I want to look and act like her mate. I want to take care of her, treasure her, treat her like my queen. So, yeah, I want to carry her bag for her.
At lunch, I follow her to her table. Jason and Lacey look mildly surprised, but don’t say anything. Chase joins us and our usual table of girls looks like they could spit nails. Don’t care. My life is changed now that I have found my mate. Conversation over lunch is easy.

Chase tries his luck flirting with Lacey. “So, Lacey, got any plans for tomorrow night”
“Yep, the usual, headed to Dark Moon.”
“Want some company?” Chase asks her.
She gives him a fake smile and shuts him down. “I have some already, but thanks.”
She’s giving him the barest of answers when she responds, bordering on being rude. I can see Chase’s intrigue with her increasing. Chase is true to his name, and he loves the chase. Lacey doesn’t realize it, but she’s only making him more intent on getting close to her.
I focus my attention back on Cara. “Do you need a ride home today?”
She smiles at me. “No, I’m good, but thank you.”
The last few classes are the same. I walk her to her class, carrying her books. When the day is finally done, I walk her to her car. She unlocks it and with her hand on the door, turns to me. I’ve moved in close, desperately wanting to kiss her, but knowing she won’t want that here in such a public place. So, instead, I step into her space, forcing her to lean back against her car and I lean down to whisper in her ear. “Thank you for my invitation. I can’t wait to see you later my little guardian.”
I blow on her neck and gently nip her ear lobe as I listen to her heart rate increase. She swallows hard before answering, her voice a bit squeaky, “Well, it’s just dinner, nothing fancy.”
I lean my forehead against hers. “It’s more than just dinner. It’s time with you. love.” I kiss her nose before stepping back and walking away. When I get to my car, I turn and see that she hasn’t moved. I wink before getting into the car with Chase.
After I get home, I rush to my room to shower and get ready. I’m not going to tell my father that I’m joining them. I don’t want him to tell me to not come. I put on a pair of jeans, a black sweater and pair it with work boots.
I walk out of my room and nearly run into my mother. “Hey mom.” I greet her and start to walk past her.
“Rik, are you coming with me to Lily’s memorial tonight?” I stop short. I was so excited about dinner with Cara that I didn’t even remember that it would mean I wouldn’t go with my mother. I turn and take her hands in mine. “Mom, I can’t tonight, I have a date.” I smile waiting for her to be excited for me.
I’m surprised when I see her frown. “A date?” Ok, that was an unexpected reaction.
“Yes, I have a date, I’m heading out now.”
“But sweetheart…” she stops, looking upset.
“Mom? Why do you look like that? I can go to Lily’s memorial another day.”
“It’s not that honey. I just….I thought that you were serious about Cara Nelson. You made such a statement at your birthday with that dance and then you were so distraught when she was missing. I guess I just thought that maybe you’d found your mate in her.”
I smile and hug my mom, before leaning back and looking at her. “Mom, my date is with Cara. She invited me to dinner with her, Dad and Mr. Nelson.”
My mom’s eyes go wide and her mouth opens in a “O” before her smile spreads across her face. “So she is your mate, isn’t she?” z
“Yes mom, she is. Only she doesn’t know it yet, but I think she’s feeling the beginnings of the bond, even now.”
She puts her hands on either side of my face. “I’m SO happy for you. I’ll make sure to tell Lily when I go see her tonight that her daughter and my son are mates. She’d be so pleased!”
“Thanks mom. Oh, and don’t tell dad. He doesn’t know and I’m not letting him ruin this for me.”
“Only if you promise to tell me all about it tomorrow.” She bargains.
“Deal.”
With that, I head out. Before, going to Cara’s, I stop at a florist and pick up another dozen roses. This time, I get her red, for love. uch attention Rik is giving me the rest of the day. He is there after every class and insists on carrying my bag for me, walking me to my next class. I don’t know if he realizes how many people are watching us, but I do, Maybe it’s because everyone has figured out that he was my mystery man. It was a very public claim.
It’s very flattering that his attention, when he’s with me, is solely on me. The arrogant Alpha that I’ve seen all my life is gone. This man is something I never expected. He’s all in, and he’s making sure I know it.
“Well, he’s not all in, but he could be.’ Artemis purrs seductively.
‘ARTEMIS! I thought we agreed we were saving ourselves for our mate!!
