Chapter 0080
My dad givesa side-eye glance. “If it were up to me, I'd make it last longer, but it's up to you, now that you
are back on your feet.”
| smile at my dad and as we pull up to the house, he turns to face me. “And...you may be willing to forgive them
much faster than I am.”
“Why is that?”
“Liam left a gift for you on Sunday when he was here. Well, | guess it is the final product of the gift Cyran gave
Artemis.”
| frown as we walk into the house. “What are you talking about Dad?”
He wheels over to the largest gift bag I've ever seen. “What is it?”

“Open it and see for yourself.” Dad says.
I do and it’s the bear. Or should I say, it’s the bearskin rug that needed to be processed. It’s soft and thick and
will be perfect on the hardwood floors in my bedroom. “Whoa!” | look at my dad. “This is amazing!”
“I'm going to take it upstairs and call him to say thanks.” | take the bearskin upstairs and lay in on my floor. Then
| stand on it barefoot, closing my eyes and feeling the softness of the fur on my feet. Even Artemis purrs in my
head. ‘Nice, right?‘ | ask her.
‘I can’t wait until | can shift and roll around on it.” She replies. Now | have that image in my head. ‘Eww.’
She snickers before laying down in my head.
| call Liam and it goes to voicemail. I let him know that | got released and that | got the bearskin, which is now a
rug on my bedroom floor and Artemis can’t wait to roll on it. Who knows, maybe Cyran will appreciate that little
nugget of information.
| stare at my phone. Everyone in the pack has the phone number for both our Alphas. | look at the clock and see
that it is after 6pm. Rik will be done with warrior training. | take a chance and send a text.
Me: Hey Alpha Rik. | hear | owe you a big thanks for rescuing me.
Rik: Cara. | was surprised to see you leaving the hospital. How are you feeling?
Me: I'm better thank you and in part thanks to you

Rik: What kind of an Alpha would | be if | left you at the hands of that murderer.
Me: Why do | feel like there’s more to that story than | know?
Rik: Maybe a conversation for another time.
Rik: You should focus on getting healthy and strong. | hear you keep taking out my warriors in training and I think
it’s twe go head-to-head.

Me: Alpha Rik, are you sure you want your pack to watch as | show you your ass?
Rik: It takes more than a little Guardian to bringdown.
Me: Well, then, challenge accepted. Although, if you want a fair fight, it will have to be a few more days. Artemis
is still healing.
Rik: I will absolutely wait. And, in the meantime, your father is training us in the mornings. We can both work on
getting stronger before the big matchup.
Me: Well, don’t say | didn’t warn you when you end up crying like a little girl in front of your pack Alpha.
Rik: Get srest my Little Guardian. | hope to see you soon.
Me: Thanks again Alpha. | really do appreciate everything, and that includes all those gifts from before as well.
Rik: CallRik and anytime.
| set my phone down. My heart was lighter.
