of my mate. Cyran is already back to normal.”
“Okay, Rik. You're next.
Ailduin tests Rik in the sareas. His resistance to wolfsbane and silver are not as strong as mine. Ailduin feels
it is because Cara received those gifts through genetics, rather than being gifted from the Moon Goddess like
Angel's line has been.
However, when they start talking about mind linking, Rik and Cara are able to mind link each other from huge
distances. | remember that when Cara was kidnapped by Eli Gunnar, she was able to mind link Clint from much
longer distances than normal. Rik and Cara told Ailduin that they were able to mind link from those same
distances.
After Rik, Ailduin tested Clint. His Guardian line had gifts of distance with mind linking and strength. Both of

When he was done, he looked at Angel. “Are you ready to try more tests? Or would you rather wait until
tomorrow?”
“I'm good.” She says.
“Can you mind link someone in your pack?”
Angel's eyes go unfocused as she reaches out with her mind link. When she refocuses, | already know the
answer. | can hear the pack, but | can’t narrow down on one particular person.
“No.”
“Cara, can you chere please.”
Cara walks over to us and Ailduin tells her what he wants her to do. He asks her to hold hands with Angel and
focus her strength on her mind link. They do and once Cara is ready, Ailduin asks Angel to try her mind link
again.
It takes a moment, then Angel gasps. She looks at me. “I can talk to Dustin.”
We continue testing Cara's ability to enhance mine and Rik’s abilities, but she
can only enhance Angel's and Clint’s.
After a while, we call it a day, and head inside for a quiet dinner and bed.
The next morning, Ailduin has one more test he wants to run with Angel and Cara. But before he does, he asks

“I wanted to explain my feelings toward your mate. In the past, there has been at lot of bad blood between the
werewolf alphas and the fae, causing the rift that Alpha Anders and Alpha Rik are trying to bridge. | don’t want

I nod and he continues. “Imagine if the worst happened, and you lost Angel and Alessia.” | snarl, turning toward
him. If he thinks this is going to build bridges, he has another thing coming.
He puts his hands up in a surrendering gesture. “Please, just bear withand it will make sense.”

I'look at him for another moment, and nod for him to continue.
“If you were to lose them, you know that their line will be reincarnated. That a small part of Alessia will live on.
Whoever gets that Guardian spirit will not be Angel and it will not be Alessia. Neither you, nor they, will have the
sfeelings. that you have for Angel now. But you will feel protective of her. You will want to make sure that
she is safe and cared for. That is how | feel about Angel and Alessia. My feelings, while created because of my
previous mate bond, are not the sfeelings that | had for Jinelle and her wolf, Emlyn.”
He turns and looks at me. “Does that make sense? Does that help you feel more comfortable with my feelings
toward your mate?”
“It does. Thank you for the explanation. You are absolutely correct. If | were to lose Angel, and if, by some
miracle | survived her death, | would protect the person with her Guardian spirit with my life.”
“Yes, exactly. So, now you know. | would lay down my life for Angel, but not because my feelings for her are the
sas yours.”
He turns, heading back. “Now, let's go see what other interesting things your mate can do.”
