“Do you know why I wasn’t affected?” She asks me.
“I don’t. I’m not sure it’s a Guardian thing. Obviously, I was affected.”
She nods again, before stepping away.
“Please don’t go, Lily.”
She turns and smiles atover her shoulder. It’s a small smile, but it’s a smile. I’ll take it.
“I’m just getting you swater. And I need to let the doctor know you’re awake.”
She bringsa glass of water and turns for the door.
“Will you cback?”
“Yes.” She says without looking atbefore she walks out.
When she returns, she has the doctor in tow, along with Anders.

Lily looks at him. “I told you he took a lot of wolfsbane.”
“Yes, but you weren’t affected at all.” He says to her, then looks at the doctor. “Well, is he going to live?”
He asks, looking atwith a smirk on his face.
The doctor is checking all my vitals and looking over the machines hooked to me.
“Yes, our Guardian will live.” He says.
“One of.” I say.
He turns and looks at me, frowning. “What’s that?”
“One of our Guardians. Lily is a Guardian too and apparently, she is the only one that is immune to
wolfsbane.”
He looks back at Lily and the frown he gives her makesthink he’s put out that he doesn’t know why
she’s immune to wolfsbane.
The doctor says I’m recovering well, but he wantsto stay another night. Anders is happy with the
report and heads out, saying he needs to check on Calista.
I turn back to Lily when it’s just the two of us again. “How is Calista doing? And where was your guard?” I
ask her, knowing that Cali is a safe subject, given that Anders was willing to leave her side.
“Cali was only hit with one dart, so she woke up yesterday. She is due to be released today. Warrior Lyle

was hit with three. He woke up earlier today and is staying overnight as well.”
“It was Alpha Mahli, wasn’t it?”
“Yes. He found out I was a Guardian.”
“How?”
“I’m not exactly sure. Apparently, the guy I killed was his Beta, Terrance. He mentioned something about‘ pillow talk‘ and that’s how he got the information.”
Who the fuck did this Beta sleep with and get information from? How did they surpass Patrick’s Alpha order?

“No. I haven’t left your bedside. I was worried that you weren’t waking up.”
My heart soars. She was worried about me, even though she probably didn’t want to be and wished that she wasn’t worried, she’s here.
“Thank you.”
“Well, now that you’re awake, I can…”
“Please stay.”
She turns and looks at me. The pain in her eyes is clear. “Why?” She whispers.
“Because I love you, Lily. What you saw, wasn’t what you think. I don’t want anyone else but you. No one. else could ever turn my head from you. All I wanted was to get Anna out of my room so I could get back to you. I didn’t know she was going to kiss me, and I was about to push her away when I heard you. I know it looked bad. I was distracted, thinking about you and our weekend together. I wasn’t paying attention to what she was doing. I would never hurt you like that. Please Lily, there will never be anyone else for me, but you.”
“You don’t know that.” She says quietly.
“I do know that.”
“How could you possibly know that?”
I didn’t want to tell her, not yet. But I need her to realize that I mean every word I’m saying.
“Because Lily Raines. You are my mate.”
