Chapter 544
Chapter 0544
I watched Clint for a while after he fell asleep, but eventually, I feel asleep as well. I was exhausted, having stayed awake worrying about him, Cali and Lyle.
While he is sleeping. Cali pokes her head in, smiling immediately at me laying on Clint’s chest. I start to get up, but she shooes me back down. She comes over and hugs me, smiling at our closeness.
“We’ll have to talk later, but I wanted you to know they are releasing me. Shali is back and I’m feeling. stronger every minute.” She whispers before looking at Clint. “How is he?”
“Weak, but he woke up. Donovan isn’t back yet, but hopefully soon.” I tell her quietly.
She hugs me again before moving to leave. Anders is waiting by the door for her, watching. He nods at me, smiling before wrapping his arm around Cali and guiding her out of Clint’s room.
When Clint wakes up, I let him know that I’m going to check on Lyle and get him some food. I order the food first, before going to check on Warrior Lyle. He is in this hospital because he was protecting me.
When I walk in, Lucas is there along with a woman that I am guessing is Warrior Lyle’s mate .
“How are you doing. Warrior Lyle?” I ask him.
“I’m doing fine Lily. I’m glad to see that you are well. I was worried that the Alpha might have gotten you, but my mate told me you and Clint were able to hold them off until Anders and the other warriors arrived.”
“Yes, I’m sorry that you were injured protecting me.”
He smiles a fatherly smile at me. “Nonsense, that’s my job.”
“If you need anything at all…”
“Don’t worry, Guardian. Lucas and I will look after my mate. You look after Clint. I understand he hasn’t
woken yet?” She asks.
“He did finally wake up a couple hours ago before falling back to sleep. I’ve just come from ordering him
food and I’m going to go back and check on him now.”
“Lily.” Warrior Lyle stops me as I start to turn around. “I understand the wolfsbane darts didn’t affect
you .”
“The wolfsbane didn’t. However, my backside is still pretty bruised from all the darts that Andra took,
trying to take her down.”
“That’s impressive, Guardian. I thought Clint would be the most impressive Guardian I’d ever meet, but
you may just surpass him in my book.”
I laugh. “Clint is pretty impressive in his own right. I don’t know why I wasn’t affected by the wolfsbane,

and neither does he, but maybe we’ll be able to figure it out.”
As I turn to leave. Lucas stands up, following me into the hall. “Listen Lily, I don’t want to get between whatever you and Clint have going on. If it looks like the two of you are going to get back together, I’ll understand if you want to cancel our date tomorrow night.”
“Thanks Lucas. I don’t know what is going to happen between us, but I think it would be better if I let it run its course before I start dating other people. ”
“I understand.”
I start to turn around but turn back as he reaches for the door to his father’s room. “I think you’re going to make a great Lead Warrior, Lucas.”
He looks back at me, smiling. “Yeah, what other pack can say that their Lead Warrior trained against, not one, but two Guardians. I may not be able to defeat you, but every time I spar with either of you, I come out stronger for it.”
I nod and head back to Clint’s room. When I arrive, I can smell the food. I walk in and see Alpha Patrick has taken up a seat beside Clint.
“Lily, come sit down. We need to talk about the events that happened with Alpha Mahli.”

This is the first time they realize that Andra is immune to wolfsbane, and it seems that everyone is beginning to identify Lily and Andra as Guardians.
