“He was, he was a great fighter.”
“So...what? He didn’t teach you to fight?”
“Of course he did. | know how to fight. | just don’t want to fight you.”
I nod, as if | understand what she’s saying to me. “I think maybe you thought he was higher up in the ranks than

would have taught you, his daughter, how to at least throw a punch. What you're givingis a bunch of...”
Her flat palm hitsdirectly in my sternum with so much strength, it whips me

“That's it Angel. Show him what being mated to at Guardian really looks like.”
She turns and looks at me, her chest heaving in her anger. | curl my fingers at her in a ‘cget me’ motion,
and holy hell does she. I've seen Cara spar, but it didn’t preparefor my little Guardian when she lets loose.
There's an obvious difference between Cara, who was born a Guardian and Angel, who is a reincarnated
Guardian. Angel's Guardian spirit has experience, knowledge, and pure grit. My girl is a fiend on the battlefield.
Once she unleashes on me, it’s all | can do to stay on my feet and keep ahead of her. She’s everywhere, fists

with her.
When | finally get an in, | grab her arm, whipping her around, pulling her back to my front, and holding her in my
grasp. | move my head just in tto miss her head bashing into my nose. When she begins kicking trying to get

concentrating so hard on making sure | didn’t lose any teeth or get a bone broken that | hadn't realized that they

“Nice job Angel.” Rik says to her. “Want to try your hand with an Alpha that’s used to sparring with a Guardian?”
