Anders’ aura recedes and he relaxes. “You're right, of course, old friend. | am happy that all it costwas one
night of training”
| breathed a sigh of relief that was short lived when he turned his focus back to me. “So, Cara, why is it,
especially after that display today, that you don’t think it’s my son sending those gifts to you?”
| shifted my feet, looking anywhere but at Alpha Anders. | didn’t want to admit to him how much it hurt that his
son doesn’t know who | am, and most likely who my mother and father are. And | didn’t want Anders telling his
son because he knows how insulted | am. Rik should have known for years who | am.
“I'd rather not say Alpha.”
He givesa long, hard look before my father jumps to my rescue. “Anders, why don’t you givea hand with
these steaks.” He hands the plate of steaks to Anders until he finally looks away fromto my father. “Sure

Over dinner, Dad asks about the rogue issue. Anders begins telling us of the significant rise in rogue attacks over
the last several months. Dad mentions that he has noticed the increase in patrols, but didn’t realize that our
borders had also been breached on occasion. They discussed what Dad and | can do to assist. “You know what |
want Clint.”
They look at each other again with their speechless conversation before my father finally responds, “I'll think
about it.”
That got a smile from Alpha Anders and the rest of the meal went well. We had the chocolate cheesecake and |
asked Alpha Anders to please tell Luna Calista how much | appreciate her desserts each week. He toldto

Saturday for the big party.
Instead of staying to watch TV with my dad, Alpha Anders said he needed to go speak to his son and to call
Alpha Liam to ensure that their alliance is still intact and that he doesn’t have to do any damage control.

| knew my son was in the forest outside the Nelson's home. | sensed it when Rik arrived, shortly after | got to
Clint’s home. | also knew that he was listening in on the conversation. Rik had mindinked me, lettingknow
that there was no issue with Alpha Liam when he heard Cara tellingof today’s events.
When | asked why she thought it wasn’t Rik that was giving the gifts, | was shocked that she wouldn't tell me. To
me, it was obvious that Rik is the one staking his claim on our Guardian, but she seemed adamant that it's not
him. Why?
Rik was also silent on the matter and | need to find out if he has offended our Guardian. | knew there was more
to Clint’'s comment about it only costingone night of training. Now I'm wondering if the damage that Rik has
done is irreparable. That will be a big problem if Cara ends up being his mate but she chooses Liam instead. Not

strongest. And if that offense causes a rift between our packs, it can only mean bad things for Canyon. Ridge.
Because as much as Clint and | are bonded and have been bonded most of our lives, | know he will always
