Chapter 552
Chapter 0552
While I’m thrilled that I get to move in with Lily, and don’t think I won’t push to keep it that way , I’d rather things stay as–is and know that she’s safe. Since that’s not an option , the next best thing I can do is help her get stronger while protecting her.
When we leave Alpha Patrick’s office, I walk her to her room . “What would your preference be, Lily bud? Do you want to move to my room, or have me move in here with you?”
She opens her door, looking around. “This isn’t really my room. It’s been a sort of stopping point since leaving my home. I have no connection to it, unlike you who has lived in your room years.”
I shrug. Any place will feel like home if she’s there with me. “I want you to be comfortable. I will be comfortable because you are there.” I say, pulling her into a hug. I know tonight has been nerve- wracking for her. Her fear was palpable and all of us could smell it earlier. As angry as I am about having so many Alphas in our territory coming after my mate, I had to suppress it to help her calm down.
Anders‘ comment about the bloody birthday was aimed at me . He knows I’m a hot–head and that I won’t hesitate to get into a fight if it means keeping Lily safe. But this is also a political event, by werewolf standards. Anders‘ birthday is a chance for other Alphas to get to know him before he becomes an official Alpha. This is a chance to strengthen alliances and make new ones. Not every Alpha will be after
Lily and not everyone that may want her is ruthless enough to kidnap her. I’ll have to remember that and
keep from going off next weekend.
In addition to everything else, Anders‘ birthday was the day we had decided that I would sing my song for Lily. Of course, that was before all of this. But now, maybe it’s not such a bad idea . I would be staking a
claim on her in front of all these Alphas. If it isn’t clear by then, it will be that they have to go through me
to get to her.
She relaxes against me. “I will move to your room. Not only will being on the Alpha floor make the other Alphas think twice, but it will also mean they have to go through Anders and Alpha Patrick to get to me.”
“And me.” I say, pulling back and looking at her.
“And you.” She says.
I kiss her nose. “See you on the roof in a few minutes?”
She smiles and nods.
The rest of the week is pretty standard. She defeats Patrick on Tuesday, Anders on Wednesday and on Thursday, I put her up against both together. She’s able to hold her own and almost gets them both, but they have been fighting together all of Anders‘ life and they work well together. I realize that from now on, this is how Lily needs to train. She’s gotten stronger and needs to fight more than one warrior at a time. After this weekend, I will recommend that to Patrick.
+15 BONUS
On Anders‘ birthday, he recognizes Calista as his mate. She still has a couple of weeks left before her birthday, but he’s making plans to give her a birthday gift that she’ll never forget.
“How have you done it all this time? I’m going crazy and I only have to wait a couple of weeks.” He asks
“I’ve spent every minute I can with her . It was the only way that Donovan would remain calm. And our nights on the roof have helped tremendously. Now you understand how desperate I was when she
wouldn’t speak to me . ”
I can see his wheels turning. I know it’s hard for him, being an Alpha, but it was hard for me too. I’m so thankful that the issues between Lily and I have resolved.
