Chapter 0249

I was really upset with Liam at first when he made those statements about my father. Sc, when I fought him, I didn’t hold back. I was surprised that he was able to stand against me. Alessia has a lot of knowledge about fighting that came to the forefront of my mind while we fought.

When Rik wanted to spar, I was no longer angry, so I was able to focus my attention on finding his weaknesses and taking him out. I was pleasantly surprised when it worked.

After Liam suggests that I spar with all the warriors starting tomorrow, I have an idea. “You should bring Cara and Clint to training tomorrow too.” I say to Rik.

“Why?” He asks me.

“Then you’d have three Guardians to spar with the warriors.”

“No. Cara is pregnant and Clint, well, how would that work?” He asks, referencing Clint being in a wheelchair.

“First,” I tell him, “No one will get close enough to Cara to touch her. Alessia knows her daughter and this is a fact. Second, Clint may be in a wheelchair, but if you think that man can’t hold his own, then you really know nothing about your father–in–law.”

Chase jumps in. “She’s right, about Clint at least. I’m not getting in the middle of you and Cara. But when Eli attacked us with those rogues, we all started tossing them to Clint to help us take them out. He was a machine. Besides not being as mobile as the rest of us, you’d never have believed he was in a wheelchair.” Several of the Canyon Ridge warriors nod in agreement.

Rik sighs. “I’ll bring them, but Cara will not be sparring.”

“Okay.” I say quickly, turning my back on him when I can’t hold my smirk back any longer. We’ll see how Cara feels about that.

Liam reaches out his hand to me. When I put my hand in his, he kisses it. “Are we good?”

“We’re good.”

He smiles at me. “Want to run back in wolf form?”

Alessia starts jumping around in my head. ‘Yes, yes, yes!‘

I laugh. “That’s a definite yes from Alessia.”

“Last one back to the packhouse misses out on special

“tom says and

jumps into the air, shifting and shredding his clothes, landing on all fours and taking off.

‘Oh no! That cheater is not beating me.‘ Alessia says as I jump, shifting, shredding my own clothes and letting Alessia take the lead.

She takes off, stretching out her legs. As soon as Cyran realizes she’s gaining, he pushes harder. Alessia is even faster than she was before, and I was shocked how fast she was then. When we get to the back side of the cliff, she starts jumping up the cliff face. Her agility definitely gives her an advantage and she makes it to the top before Cyran and begins racing for the packhouse. We’re nearly there, pack members rushing to get out of our way, when Cyran tackles Alessia, and we both go rolling. She’s back on her feet and heading for the back door as fast as she can. Cyran nips at her back legs, but she doesn’t stop. Someone opens the back door and she pushes through, howling her success as she continues running up the stairs to our room.

On the stairs, we see Sarah and Dustin. Alessia, stops for a moment to lick Sarah, before continuing our race, skidding out in front of the door to our room.

I can hear Sarah asking Dustin, “What was that?”

“That,” he replies, “was Angel and Liam, obviously racing and it looks like Angel won. The white one was her wolf, Alessia, that stopped to kiss you. I’m guessing she appreciates everything you did to help Angel during that time with the coven. The sandy brown wolf was Cyran, Liam’s wolf.”

I shift, opening our door and heading straight to the bathroom. Liam is right behind me. “I win.” I tell him and start to pull him into the shower with me.
