| wasn’t sure how | felt about being so open with Angel, but she’s my mate. | want to share everything with her,
and have her share everything with me.
After our moment in the hallway, | know she’s beginning to feel the pull of the mate bond, even if she doesn’t
recognize that that’s what it is.
Everything about my beautiful Angel is drawingin. And even more than her sweetness, her scent and her
taste, the idea that | won't be alone anymore, that there will be someone to bear this burden with me? It's
almost too much to hope
for.
We arrive at the Nelson ha few minutes before we were supposed to arrive. I've brought a couple bottles of
wine, since Cara didn’t askto bring anything.

| go around the truck and help Angel out. She’s so short that it’s a big leap for her, but mostly, | just want to take
any opportunity there is to touch her. | keep hold of her hand as we walk to the door and ring the bell.
| can hear talking on the other side, and | hear Clint ask who could be at the door as Cara announces that she'll
get it.
When she opens the door, her smile greets us. “I'm so glad you could come. Please cin.”
We walk in and Cara moves to stand in front of Angel as we follow her into the kitchen. “Dad, | invited some
guests tonight.” Cara tells Clint.
He looks up at me. “Liam, it's good to see you, it's been too long.” He says, starting to wheel himself over.
“And someone else.” Cara says and steps aside, giving Clint his first glimpse of my mate. Donovan, Clint’s wolf,
pushes forward immediately. “Andra?” He asks in his gruff voice.
“Donovan.” Alessia answers. “I'm Alessia now.”
“Alessia.” He says it softly, tears forming in his eyes. “Where have you been all these years? | thought....I
thought...”
Alessia walks to him, squatting down in front of his wheelchair. “We have much to discuss tonight. But first, I've
waited a long tto give you a message from Lily.”
Clint’s hand goes to his mouth and his rubs it across his face and roughly. “A message from Lily?” He whispers.

“You understand how the Guardian spirit works? | have memories from my previous lives, but not all of them.
Some, like when | saw Cara yesterday or you just now, cat the moment | see you.” Clint looks at Cara before
looking back at Alessia.
Clint reaches down and takes Angel's hand. “What is the message?”

Angel/Alessia puts her other hand over Clint’s. “She wanted you to know that she knew. She knew that day in
battle would be her last. The Moon Goddess visited her a couple of days before the attack. She traded her life for
yours. You were the one that was supposed to die that day, but she knew that you had the better chance of
survival and would be here for Cara and Artemis. She knew her life would end that day because she gave her life
so you could live.”
| watched as Anders moves to stand beside Clint putting his hand on his shoulder. | thought Clint was going to
break down right there. I'm not sure how | would feel if | found out my mate, if Angel, gave her life for me. It's
definitely something to consider, because when she realizes that she’s my mate, it's exactly what she will try to
do.
“If you will all excusefor a moment, | need a minute.” Clint turns and rolls himself down a hallway and into a
room that I'm guessing is his bedroom.
Angel stands and comes to me. “Should Alessia not have said anything? Lily wanted him to know.” She looks to
| cup her face in my hand as | respond. “He’s waited 13 years to know what happened to her Guardian spirit and
now, not only has he met Alessia, but he found out that Lily gave her life for him. It’s a lot to take in all at once.”
| say and look to where Rik is holding Cara as she cries into his chest.
