Chapter 0098 

“Do I smell?” 

“No, of course not. But….” I don’t want to sound stupid, and I start biting my lip thinking I should just keep my mouth shut. 

He takes his thumb and pulls my lip out of my teeth. “But?” 

I just blurt it out. “Did your mom make brownies today?” 

He looks at me, confused. Yeah, I know. Seriously random question. 

“Not that I know of, why?” 

I take another sniff. “It’s just that you smell like her brownies. Like fresh out of the oven brownies.” 

His smile goes mega–watt. “Is that so?” His thumb starts making circles on my shoulder. It sends distracting tingles through my body. He leans in and brushes his nose in my hair. “I heard my mother’s brownies are your favorite.” 

I close my eyes. I’m falling into his trance again. Artemis is no help at all, she’s been under the Rik and Kai spell for a while now. 

He chuckles and kisses the spot just above my ear. “Was there something you wanted to show me?” 

My eyes fly open. Dammit, there was a reason I brought him up here. I turn back to the book, opening it to the page I wanted to show him. 

“So, I’ve been reading the History book that this amazing Alpha got for me. I smile and give him a side eye glance, seeing him echo my smile. “And I found this interesting passage.” 

I point to where I am reading. 

Since the inception of the Guardian 

There have only been two in existence at any time 

Created by the Moon Goddess herself 

The spirit of the Guardian will reincarnate 

When the current body of the Guardian passes. 

I look at Rik. I can see that he’s trying to work through what I want to know. 

When he looks back at me, I ask my questions. 

I ask my questions. “There is nothing about a 

Guardian being born. But here I am. For five years, there were three Guardians Do you think that it shifted the balance and may have put events into motion that caused my mother’s death?” 

His arm wraps tightly around my shoulder, pulling me closer to him. I tuck myself into him, feeling calmer just being around him. This question had been weighing on me but getting kidnapped overshadowed it and I’m just now able to get back to working through this question. 

He begins running his fingers up and down my arm. I’m not even sure he realizes he’s doing it. He looks lost in thought. Finally, he answers. 

“No. I don’t think that your birth caused an imbalance. There had to be a possibility of two Guardians being mated at some point in time. So….” 

He let’s the question hang in the air before looking at me. I ask the lingering question. “Where is my mother’s wolf spirit?” 

We look at each other for several minutes before it all comes tumbling out of me. “I mean, it’s been 13 years. Don’t you think we’d have seen her, heard from her, something by now? Even if she didn’t recognize Dad and I, we would have known that another Guardian had awakened. I’m sure that knowledge would have been passed among the Alphas. You haven’t heard of anything, right?” 

He leans over and kisses my temple. “No, we can check with my father, but I think I would have heard if another Guardian had awakened. He would have told your father.” 

“Let me think about this. I have an idea, but I don’t want to say anything more until I know for sure that I might be able to get us some answers.” He turns to look at me, turning my chin so that I’m looking at him. “Can you give me a little time and trust that I will see what I can do on my end?” 

my 

I give him a sweet smile. “Yes. I trust you.” His answering smile is full of hunger as he rubs his nose against mine. The action so sweet, so tender, it makes heart melt. Even Artemis, who has been very quiet tonight, begins purring softly in my head. 

He closes the book and gently puts it on the floor before turning to me, pulling me to him. One hand goes into my hair the other slides down my back pulling me closer as his lips take mine in a kiss so dominating, I can do nothing but submit to his passion.
