| watch as her eyes flick to Clint, then back to Alpha Patrick. “What does that have to do.” Alphal Patrick's aura
pushes out even stronger and she yelps before cutting off her question.
“Answer the question, Anna.” He says and his voice is not friendly or kind.
“Yes.” She squeaks out.
“Did you receive my Alpha command that no one in the pack was allowed to speak of Lily being a
Guardian to anyone outside of the pack?”
“Yes.” This response is much more relaxed. If she did it, she didn’t realize she was giving away information about
me. It wasn’t intentional, or at least, not consciously intentional. | feel Alpha Patrick's
aura subside a bit, but Clint does not relax beside me.
“When you were having sexual relations with Beta Terrance, did the subject of Lily ever cup?”
She shakes her head. “No. | heard he was asking around about her, but no one said anything that | know
of, and he never asked me.”
| can feel Clint getting more tense beside me. He doesn’t believe her. | reach out and lay my hand on his arm.

hand in his, intertwining our fingers. The action does not go unnoticed by Anna. Clint stares back at her,
unflinching. He's making a point. Whether it’s to her or me, I'm not sure.
“What did the two of you talk about?”
Anna immediately looks uncomfortable. “Uhhh, well, we didn’t talk a lot. We were busy, you know. | mean, there
was, uh, discussion while we were having sex.” She looks around and she’s the brightest shade of red I've ever
seen. “You don’t wantto tell you that do you?”
| watch Alpha Patrick’s eyes close for just longer than a blink. Anna is trying his patience. I'm guessing he must
feel this way most days. Being an Alpha would be exhausting.
Beta Calvin picks up the interrogation. “Unless that conversation had to do with Lily, no, we don’t want to hear it.
Was there any conversation before or after you had sex?” He asks.
“Well, before, no. He was kind of in a hurry, you know? But afterward, he did ask about Clint.”
That gets all of our attention. “What about Clint?” Alpha Patrick asks.
“He said he thought we had a Guardian in our pack but he hadn't seen him. | told him they went away for
the weekend.” She says and she waves her hand in our direction.
Clint snarls at her. Her hand drops immediately.
“Is that what you said? THEY?”

and her eyes go wide and her mouth makes a perfect ‘0“.
“l—-1 didn’t mean to.” She turns to Alpha Patrick. “I swear | didn’t mean to. | admit | wanted Clint, and
| may be jealous of all the attention he gives Lily, but | would never go against your Alpha command. Please you
have to believe me.” She says, and tears are streaming down her face.
Alpha Patrick scrubs his hands down his face. “You're on kitchen duty for a month.” He nods at Beta
Calvin to take her out.
“THAT'S IT?” Clint yells, jumping to his feet. “She put Lily at risk and now EVERY Alpha is going to know that
she’s an underaged Guardian. They'll hunt her down and all she gets is kitchen duty?” He's pointing at Anna,
looking murderous.
I jump up and stand in front of him, putting my hands on his chest. If being his mate calms him, as he said, then |
need to do that right now before he tears Anna apart.
“Clint.” His chest is heaving but he doesn’t take his eyes off of Anna. | can hear her sobs getting louder. She may
not be bright, she may be a jealous she-wolf, but she isn’t devious. Her comment wasn’t purposeful.

He pulls back and looks at me. “Thank you.” He says before pullingagainst him again.
