Chapter 0534 

I head back to my room, getting ready for training. I race down the stairs, hoping to catch her on her way down. When I get to her hallway. I can smell her scent strongly and I realize she’s already left her room. I start to head downstairs, intending to find her when I get a mind link from Patrick. 

“Clint, come see me in my office.” 

As I head to his office, and based on her scent, I realize Lily was already here this morning. I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. I knock, walking in without waiting for a response. I was hoping Lily would still be here, but she’s not. Her scent, however, still lingers and it both helps calm me and hurts that I missed even one night with her. 

Anders is standing, looking out his window. “Clint. What did you do?” 

“What do you mean?”

He turns around and looks at me, disappointment written all over his face. “After seeing how happy you were last night, specifically smelling your scent all over Lily, imagine my surprise when I see her at my door first thing this morning. She looked like she didn’t sleep at all last night and her eyes are red rimmed from crying. I don’t have to tell you that I’m not a fan of men who make women cry. So, I’ll ask again, what did you do?” 

I rub my hands over my face. “I didn’t do anything. But she saw something that she misinterpreted.” 

He just raises his eyebrow at me. 

“Anna was waiting for me when I returned. She said she needed to talk and walked into my room, uninvited. She threw herself into my arms and kissed me. It was at that moment that Lily walked in. She 

saw us kissing, Anna’s arms around my neck and now she thinks that I left her and immediately ran into 

another woman’s arms.” 

He rubs his hand over his jaw, watching me. “Well, this is really bad timing and now I’m in a bind, Clint. 

You see, Lily has asked me to take you off her guard duty.” 

I growl at that. “You didn’t agree?” 

“Of course, I agreed. I told you I would treat her like my daughter and if someone hurts her, intentionally. 

or unintentionally, I will act.” 

“I’ll watch her from afar.” 

He’s shaking his head before I finish. “That’s not enough.” He pauses, growling himself. “Alpha Mahli showed up here this weekend with his Beta and several warriors.” 

My hands clench into fists. “He was planning to take Lily.” It’s a statement, not a question. 

“I have to believe that was his intention. Why else would he show up with so many fighters when he was

coming for a friendly visit.” He stresses friendly, both of us knowing that’s not what this was. 

“You can’t take me off her guard duty. You know I’m the best person to watch and protect her.” 

“Yes, I do. But I won’t go against her wishes. You need to figure out how to fix this and you need to do it quickly. She did agree to continue afternoon training with you. I would advise you not to use that time to try to convince her that she needs to give you another chance. If she tells me she’s done training with you, I’ll pull you from that, too.” 

I nod, turning to walk out and find my mate. “Oh and Clint, I may treat her like she’s my daughter, but I’ve always thought of you as my son. I hope that I’ve always treated you that way. And as your father figure. I have a suggestion for you.” 

“What’s that?” I ask. 

“She’s mad at you, Clint.” 

Brilliant, because I hadn’t figure that out on my own. “Thanks, that’s very helpful.” I say sarcastically. turning to leave again. 

“You misunderstand me.” 

I stop, turning around. 

“She’s mad at you. She’s not mad at Donovan. If it were my mate, I’d use that to my 

advantage. 

I nod, leaving his office to find my mate. I’m not in charge of her training in the morning, so maybe I have 

a chance to make things right and get back on her protection and guard duty today.
