His eyes go unfocused then he Tooks at his watch. “We need to meet Patrick and Anders in Patrick’s office in one hour.”
He looks down at my plate. “Lily? You need to eat.” He looks up at me, holding my gaze until I pick up my fork and begin picking at my food.
“What if there’s nothing that Alpha Patrick can do? He’s my father, after all.” I ask quietly.
“Alphas have the final authority in the pack. They can override parents if they feel that the parent is putting their child at risk. Let’s see what Alpha Patrick says before we make any decisions.”
“ We?”
“Yes, we. I’m in this with you Lily. You’re a Guardian now, we’re the only two in the world. You’re kind of stuck with me for the rest of our lives.” He says chuckling.
Of course he didn’t mean anything else by it. It’s because I’m a Guardian. I don’t even know what my heart fluttered for a moment when he said ‘we‘ or why the thought of being stuck with him for the rest of my life suddenly doesn’t sound like a bad idea.
“Lily?” He says and I look up at him, realizing I’ve been lost in my thoughts. pushing food around on my plate. “Eat. It will be okay.” He says gently.
I’m not sure that’s true but I am able to shove a couple bites of food into my mouth, much to the happiness of my stomach.
I eat as much as I can, which isn’t much. When Clint is done, we head down to Alpha Patrick’s office. He knocks on the door and when we enter, I see that Alpha Patrick, Alpha Anders and Beta Calvin are all in the room.
“Clint, Lily, come in.” Alpha Patrick says, standing and pointing to two additional chairs around an oval shaped table.
When we’re seated, Alpha Patrick looks at me.
“My son has given me some good news and some disturbing news, Lily. First, I’d like to see for myself that Andra is indeed a Guardian.”
I look at Clint before turning to Alpha Patrick and letting Andra come forward. He nods his head. “Thank you, Andra, and congratulations, although the celebration may have to wait. You do understand that being an underaged Guardian, one not
able to sener het mate, puts you in danget, yes?
“Yes, Alpha, 1 understand.”
We will deal with that and make sure that we keep you as safe as possib However understand there is another issue that needs to be addressed. Anders didn‘, have as much information about this, but it had to do with Alpha Mahli. I understand your father took you to spend some time with him this weekend?” He asks .
“Yes, Alpha. We left yesterday morning and returned this morning.”
“Would you mind going through your time with Alpha Mahli for those of us in the room?”
I nod, not very excited to have to relive this again, but I start at the beginning and go through my time. Alpha Patrick interrupts me a couple of times to get clarification on my father leaving me alone with Alpha Mahli, and the Alpha coming into my room using his key without knocking. I explained my father’s disheveled appearance this morning and the change in him when he saw that Alpha Mahli was interested in me.
And did Alpha Mahli attempt any type of physical intimacy with you?” Alpha Patrick asks. I know my face has turned scarlet. I had skipped over that part, wanting to save myself from the embarrassment of having to discuss that in front of four men. From the corner of my eye, I see Clint clench his fists.
I look down, not comfortable seeing the reactions to what happened and embarrassed having to share it. “He asked me if I wanted to take him for a test ride.” I tell them. Clint’s snarl beside me startles me and I look at him. His eyes are murderous as he stares at Alpha Patrick.
Alpha Patrick turns his attention from me to Clint. “Clint, you will control. yourself or I will ask you to leave.”
