Chapter 0583
“Anders thinks that because I'm a pregnant female that | can’t go on the trip to Silver Dawn as part of our show
of strength.” | say, stomping out the packhouse door and into the yard.
“Clint?” | hear her ask from behind me.
“It'll be okay. Cal
Calista. Lily is stronger than Anders is giving her credit for and she’s about to remind him of
that.” And | hear him chuckling.
| have no intention of dragging this out. I've becstronger since the last tAnders sparred with me. Back
then, | was using the tto learn and practice my moves. Now, I’m going to take my Alpha down and remind
him that a Guardian is a Guardian, regardless of gender.

and swiping at Anders’ head and feet. | swipe his legs, taking him down, but he jumps back up immediately.

| anticipated this and my next kick goes straight for his head. He ducks in tand begins to spar withfor
real. Maybe he thought he would need to be gentle with me, but that’s not the case. Even if he punchedin
my stomach, Andra’s shield would protect our child.
However, | don’t give Anders that opportunity. | keep going at him, taking him down again and again. When |
finally get my chance, | grab his arm, twisting it just to the point of dislocation. He drops to his knees and looks
atover his shoulder.
“Fuck Lily!”
“Do you submit, Alpha?”
He grimaces and | twist just a bit more to make sure he knows | have him. “Yes, fine. You can cwith
us.”
| release his arm and turn. Seeing my mate’s proud smile, | run and jump into is arms. “That's my girl.” He says,
hugging me.
The night before we head to Silver Dawn, Clint and | are laying in bed, curled up together..
“Lily, I know you can take care of yourself and you're an excellent fighter. But you are my mate, and your are
carrying my child. | need to you stay close totomorrow. If they fight, you won't be able to shift, and Donovan
and | will need to be close to protect you and our pup.”
| can feel his worry bleeding through the bond. “I will. | have no intention of risking our pup for that asshole. But |
don’t think it will cto that. If he doesn’t listen to Anders, Andra and | will just remind him of what it felt like
to have her teeth sinking into his throat. And we weren't even adults yet when we had him pinned.”

“But you can’t shift.” He says, and | can feel his confusion.
“Yes, but Alpha Jerdoesn’t know that.”
Clint chuckles behind me. “I hope that’s all it will take for him to back down. | know Anders is worried about
Calista and their pup. He doesn’t want to do anything to risk either of them.”
“Alpha Jeris a pompous, arrogant coward. He thinks too highly of himself. But his fear for his life. will make
him back down.”
He kisses my hair, pullingcloser to him. “Have | told you today how much I love you? How amazing you are

| make a point of pretending to think, tapping my finger against my chin. “Hmmm, maybe? | don’t think so.
Perhaps you can make it up toby showingjust how much you loveand just how lucky you
feel
| turn my head, smirking at him over my shoulder and that’s all it takes. Clint never leaves a question in my
mind. My mate lovesmore than anything in the world.
