“Gideon and | are at odds. That has nothing to do with you, Lily. You could tell Alpha Patrick that you want to chome. He would listen to you.”
“| have no intention of going home. | don’t trust you.
He shakes his head at me, looking atlike I’m a silly child that has misunderstood the entire situation. But, before he can say anything else, Anders walks out the front of the packhouse. Based on his posture, he isn’t surprised at what he walked into. Clint must have mind linked him.
“Aaron. | thought my father was clear that you were not allowed to speak to your daughter unless you had his permission. You have not been granted that permission. You need to leave. Now.” Anders says to him.

“I'll stop and tell Calvin when | drop Lily in her room.” Clint says.
Finally, | pull away, and the three of us begin to walk inside. “How was your date with Cali?” | ask, trying to take my mind off what just happened.
