After dinner, | head up to my room and quickly shower and change before Calista is supposed to arrive. | grab
my books and head downstairs just as she is walking into the packhouse.
“Hey Cali.”
“Lily!” We hug like we didn’t just see each other a couple hours ago.
“Did your parents say anything about you coming here tonight?” | ask her.
“No, apparently, they saw the warrior that Alpha Patrick sent to your house to get your things. They haven't seen
your parents at all.”
“What did you tell them?” | ask her.
“I told them you were living in the packhouse now, but | didn’t know what had happened.”
“Thanks, Cali. Hey, Luna Olivia and Beta Naomi want to meet you. They wanted

“Me? Why?”
| shrug. “I don’t know. Maybe so | don’t feel so awkward.” | lean in toward her. It was weird being at the ranked

“Luna Olivia. This is my friend, Calista Johns.”
“Oh, Calista.” Luna Olivia takes her hands. “Aren't you beautiful? We'd love it if you would join us for dinner
tomorrow night at the packhouse. I'd be happy to speak to your parents about it, if needed.”
| can see Cali is just as flustered as | was earlier. “I'm sure they will be fine withhaving dinner here, Luna.
Thank you for the invitation.”
“Before you go study,” she turns, “Naomi!” She calls out.
Beta Naomi comes out of another room. “Oh, is this Calista?” She asks, her eyes brightening.
“Yes, isn’t she lovely?”
“She definitely is. I'm so glad to meet you. You'll be having dinner with us.

“Uh, yes, Beta.”
“Wonderful, we'll catch up more tomorrow night, then. Enjoy you

As we turn and walk away, Cali “What was that?”
“I have no idea.”
Studying was interesting. When we arrived, Clint and Anders had already set up the room so that one of us
would have to sit with Anders and the other with Clint.
“Why don’t we pull the tables together?” | suggest when we walk in.
“Oh, we set it up this way so we could study our joint classes without disrupting each other.” Anders says quickly.
“Cali, you can csit withand we can study for our anatomy test.”

| look at her quickly before we separate tables.
“Did you tell her?” Clint mind links me, wanting to know if | told her I'm a Guardian. | shake my head.
Studying with Clint was actually fun. When the man applies himself, he’s very intelligent. And while | appreciate
a gorgeous body as much as the next she-wolf, there is something about a man that can match wits with me
that turnson more than a ripped body. Maybe it's because anyone who works hard enough can have a great
body, or maybe because the mind is something that isn’t as obvious as a hard body, but | found myself looking
forward to tomorrow's study session. As we finish studying, | watch as Calista starts to pack her bags. “I'll walk
you home.” Anders says to her.
“That's not necessary.” She tells him.
He reaches out and puts his hand on hers, waiting until she looks at him. “It may not be necessary, but I'd feel
better knowing you got hsafely.” He holds her gaze until she nods.

“Now’s your chance.” Clint says. | look at him and he givesa ‘it's your choice’ look.
| sigh. “Before you leave, Cali, there’s something | want to show you.”
| stand and close the door to the room. | know it was supposed to stay open, but | can’t risk anyone walking in.
When | look back, Cali is frowning at me. “Lily?”
“There's something else that’s going on, another reason I'm living in the packhouse now. But an even smaller
number of people know about this.”
She looks at Anders and Clint before turning back to me. “Okay.”

| let Andra push forward, my eyes turning to gold.
Cali’s eyes go wide, and her hands go to her mouth. “Oh, my goddess.” She whispers.
“You're a Guardian.”
