Chapter 0218

“No. But I haven’t been involved in my warriors‘ training since you got here and I need to show my face and see how they are doing. I’ll be doing that while you are gone and then this afternoon, we will go see Eli.”

Her eyes soften. “Thank you, I know it’s not easy for you to agree to that.”

I kiss her nose. “I told you, I’m willing to do just about anything to make you happy and keep you by my side. I don’t like it, but as long as I will be there with you, I will deal with it.”

“Now get moving.” I smack her ass cheek hard. I see her eyes go wide, then. something that looks suspiciously like lust flashes before she turns to get up. Oh yeah, we’ll be exploring that more. My little Angel was definitely made for me.

Since I’m feeling playful, I growl softly, making her turn. I’m sitting up on the bed, ready to pounce. She squeals a moment before rushing to the bathroom. I catch her just as she gets to the door, swinging her in my arms and carrying her the rest of the way into the bathroom. “Caught you.”

“That wasn’t much of a challenge big guy.” My sassy mate says.

I shift her body so I can hold her with one arm and turn on the shower with the other. “Any time you want to run little mate, Cyran and I will be happy to hunt you. You’ve seen how fast Cyran is and we don’t lose. Ever.”

I feel a shiver run up her spine before I set her down on the floor. We shower and I make a mental note to call the local salon about getting Angel in for a haircut.

I drive her to Clint’s again. Today is apparently a running day. Cara wants to try to show her around the packhouse again today, and said she’ll bring her home when they are done. I remind them to make sure my girl eats and doesn’t overdo before I kiss her goodbye and head back to my pack.

It feels good to be training with my warriors again. My lead warrior, Evan, gives me a good sparring, while Dustin and Jackson move around and give the warriors pointers.

“So Alpha,” Evan says when we take a break for water a couple hours later. “Is it true? Is the girl your mate?”

I notice everyone stop what they are doing to listen in. “She is, but she’s only just gotten strong enough to realize that we’re mates. She still hasn’t shifted to her wolf and I don’t know how long it will be until she’s strong enough.”

“Is it true that she’s a Guardian?” One of my other warriors asks.

“Yes. For those of you who have heard of or remember Lily Nelson, Cara Nelson’s mother, Angel and her wolf Alessia have their reincarnated Guardian spirit.”

“Is it true that vampires held her captive and want her back?”

“Yes. She was held captive for seven years.” Several of the warriors growl and snarl. They understand the impact of me not being able to find my mate because she was a prisoner. “Currently there is a five million dollar bounty on her head.” “Actually Alpha,” Dustin says. “I haven’t had a chance to speak to you, but the bounty has gone up. It’s seven million now.‘

“What about the bounty for the other girl? Is it still active?”

“Yes, and it’s up to six million.” Dustin informs me.

I nod. I’m about to get the group back into sparring when an urgent mind link comes through from the patrols.

“Alpha! There’s a wolf rushing toward our territory. She’s alone and she’s fast. She doesn’t look like she’s going to stop at the borders.”

I look at Dustin and realize the link was open to all the warriors, as well as my Beta and Gamma.

“Shit!” Another link comes through. “She just got past us. She’s heading toward the packhouse.”

I hear a howl in the distance. It’s not a challenge, or a howl of the hunt. It’s an excited howl.

“She just got past the second level patrols, and she isn’t slowing down.” Another patrol leader announces.

“What does she look like?” I ask my men.

“She’s pure white. The whitest wolf I’ve ever seen.”

“Let her through.”

“Alpha?”

“I said let her through.

A chorus of “Yes Alpha” comes through the link.

Dustin looks at me. “Who is it?

At that moment, she breaks from the tree line of the forest. She is running full

out, directly at me. Even from here, I can see her stunning golden eyes.” “Alessia.” I open my arms just as she leaps and tackles me to the ground.
