I'm interested in Lily. In a couple of months, they'll all know that she’s my mate. Until then, I could care less what
they think.
| decide to keep the conversation focused on our sparring session today. “So, tellwhere you think your
strengths and weaknesses are in your training?” | have my own ideas based on the obstacle course yesterday,
but | want to know what her thoughts are.

been underestimating Lily and so has Anders.
When we get to the place where we must split to go our different ways to change, | hand her bag back to her.
“See you in a few, Lily.”
| jog to the packhouse, dropping my bag off in my room and changing quickly. | haven't been this excited about

how to use Lily's ideas and how to give her the workout of her life today.
When | get downstairs, | go to Alpha Patrick. “Alpha, | spoke to Anders and I'm going to spar with Lily today. I'd
like to train her my own way. She's better than | realized, and she has sgood ideas for how to improve, but |

“Mmmhmm.” | can tell that he doesn’t believe me, and that’s okay as long as he givespermission to train

“Lily, you're with Clint.” Alpha Patrick says.
As Alpha Patrick walks away, | give her a grin. “You're with me.”
She rolls her eyes but turns to listen to today’s instruction.
“Actually, Alpha Patrick gavethe okay to work with you individually. | want to see what you've got.” | tell her
and motion for her to followa little ways away.
She follows, but looks back, making sure that we won't be called back.
When we're far enough away, | turn and get into a defensive stance. “Showwhat you've got.”
She looks atlike I'm crazy. “You wantto hit you?”
“I want you to try to hit me.” | clarify.
“What about kicking? Can I kick you?” She asks, her smile turning devious.
“As | said, you can try.” | give her a confident smirk. | don’t care how good she is, I'm a Guardian. She was right
