“Hey, hey, hey. What is this?” He asks, pullinginto his chest, wrapping his

arms around me.

| sniff as the tears come. Clint picksup, takingto a nearby tree and sittingin his lap sideways. He

runs his thumbs across my cheeks. “Talk toLily bud.”

“It’s just....it's like losing my father all over again. Gideon is so proud to know that we're a Guardian, but he

knows he can’t be part of our lives because of my father. | didn’t just lose my dad, | lost Gideon too.”

“Aww, baby. I'm sorry. | know this must be so hard for you.”

He holdsuntil I'm done crying. Then he getsa shirt from the ones stuffed into the trees for situations

such as these before we walk back to the packhouse. “I need to check in with Patrick. I'll clook in on your

later. Maybe we can still have dinner, just make it something quieter. You go rest, I'll be by in a bit.” He leans

down, kissing my lips softly before heading to Alpha Patrick’s office.

I'm walking through the packhouse, headed to my room, when | hear a couple of she wolves talking.

“Now it makes sense why he was acting so interested in her.”

“Yeah, it's not because he really likes her, it's because she’s a Guardian.”

“But that means that they will have a connection all their lives. Would you want to constantly live in Lily's

shadow?”

“Honey, she'd be living in my shadow, not the other way around.”

On top of everything else, the last thing | need is to hear the unmated she-wolves gossiping about my

relationship with Clint. It only serves to makefeel even worse, knowing that they are probably right. The only

reason he’s attracted to me, even a little, is because I'm a Guardian.

I head up to my room and run a hot bath. | want to soak, then | want to crawl under my blankets and hide away

from everything.

I lay in the tub until the water turns cold. When I finally get out, my fingers are pruning. | wrap a towel around

my body and walk into my room. Clint is laying on my bed and | jump, startled that he’s here and so casually in

my bed. | can see- that he’s showered and cleaned up after the rogue attack.

When he looks at me, his eyes go dark. “Lily bud. How was your bath?”

“What are you doing in here?”

“I told you | was coming to check on you.

| turn and see that my door is still locked, then I look at my window, which is cracked open. Clint sits up. “Are you

okay?”

“Yeah.” | say, not looking at him.

“Liar. Chere.” He says, laying back down and patting his chest.

The idea of laying on his chest, letting Donovan purr until | drift off, forgetting about everything that happened

today sounds perfect. But then | hear the voices. of those she-wolves and | can’t make myself go lay with Clint. If

he’s just doing this because I'm a Guardian, | need to keep my heart safe. It's already feeling battered from all

my family lately.

| watch as his eyes narrow at me. “Lily bud?”

“I'm really okay, Clint. Thank you for checking on me.” | turn and go into my closet, grabbing sclothes and

getting dressed before walking back out.

He's still laying on my bed. He pats his chest again.

“Clint, | said I'm okay.”

“Maybe I'm not okay, Lily. Please clay with me.” He says, and | don’t know how to say no to that. Or maybe,

I just don’t want to. So, | crawl into bed with Clint, laying my head on his chest. Donovan immediately starts to

purr, and | feel my body finally start to relax. | feel Clint pull a blanket over top of us before I drift off to sleep.
