Chapter 0101
When we get to my car, | lean against it pulling her against me. I'm sure she can feel my arousal from our time
in my bedroom. My dick is pressed against her stomach. No hiding that.
| pull her hands up, wrapping them around my neck before moving my hands to her hips, holding her against
me.
“I want you to be my girlfriend.” | tell her.
“What?”
“You and me. | want us to be together. | want everyone to know that you're mine.”
“I don’t...”
| cut her off. “I know you're waiting for your mate. And | won't push you past any limits that you have. But, for

| know her stance on waiting for her mate, she just doesn’t know she’s waiting for me. That's okay. We can both

“Can | think about it?” She asks me.
“Of course. But I'll say it now. | want you. You, Cara Nelson, the woman; not Cara Nelson, the Guardian. | want
the mind, body and soul, not just the fierce protector that you are.”
“Okay.” She says quietly.
“Okay. I'll pick you up for school tomorrow?” | ask, hoping to start my day with my girl.
When she nods yes, | give her a tender kiss. | make a mental note to adjust any conflicts to being able to pick
her up and drop her off daily, because I'll be driving her the rest of the school year.
“Goodnight love. Sleep well.”
| watch her wave toas | pull away. | head back to the pack house. I'm in
desperate need of a release and a cold shower.
Anders
When Cara walks back inside, and says goodnight, | watch as she climbs the stairs headed to her room.
“What's on your mind Anders? Are you concerned about the two of them together?” My oldest and dearest friend
asks me.
Tonight had been a wonderful walk down memory lane. Seeing our pups going through the slife experiences
we have been through just brought it all back. | haven't seen Clint laugh as much as he did tonight since, well,
not since Lily’s death. It felt really good to have my friend back.

“Not concerned in the way that you are thinking Clint.”
“Concerned in what way?”
| turn to my friend. “I can’t imagine what it will feel like for Rik to have a Guardian that is also his mate. My bond
to you is so strong, and I've hated every battle we were ever in, knowing that you would give your life for me.
But, at least, | didn’t have the sbond to you that | have with Cali. I'm not sure | would have been able to
handle it if Cali had been a Guardian. My need to protect her is overwhelming sometimes.” a
Clint looks up to where his daughter is moving around in her room. “It's not something we can choose Anders.
It’s in our genetic code, our being, our soul. The pull to protect our Alpha is impossible to overcome.”
“I understand that. It's the swith being an Alpha. It’s in my genes to protect my pack members. All my pack
members.” | turn to look at Clint. “That always included you as well.”
I look back up to where Cara's light has switched off and the sounds of her moving around her room have
quieted. “I just wonder how the two of them will find the common ground they need as mates. If they don’t, they
may just kill each other trying to save each other.”
