Chapter 265

Chapter 0265

I carry my sweet Angel into the dining room. I can tell she wants to put me down, but it’s a testament to how tired she is, that she doesn’t fight me. I’m constantly amazed at how awesome my mate is. Her show of strength with her aura and the ways in which she can direct and redirect it are incredible. Even Cara can’t do what she’s doing. I used to think that Cara was the strongest she–wolf there is, but now I know, my little mate is..

When we get inside, I sit her in my lap and order two plates. I want to make sure that she eats. I’m hoping it will perk her up some and I won’t have to put her to bed. I want her to be a part of whatever it is that Ailduin has in store for us. It’s good for her to see what she and her fellow Guardians are capable of.

I catch Ailduin watching Angel again. After reconnecting with my mate last night, I don’t feel jealous, but I really wish he’d stop.

“I think the aura is like a muscle.” He looks at me as he says it. “I think practice will make her stronger and it won’t wear her out.

“You know she’s here and can hear you, right?” My mate tells him and I smirk.

“My apologies Angel. I wasn’t sure if you were paying attention.”

After we finish eating, I can see my girl perking up. “You ready to continue, or do you need to lay down?”

‘Advanced healing, remember big guy?”

“I still want you sitting out at first. Just watch, okay?”

She doesn’t answer, just reaches up and kisses me.

When we head back outside, apparently it’s my turn.

“So, Liam, how about we start with you and see if you have the same immunities that Angel and Alessia have.” Ailduin says.

“Such as?”

He pulls out a vial. “This is wolfsbane. You should be able to ingest this and feel mild or possibly no effects.”

I can’t help the growl that comes. “Wolfsbane? You want me to ingest wolfsbane? Planning to take me out?” I say, getting in his personal space. He may be taller than I am, but I know I’m stronger.

I feel Angel come up beside me. “What is this about, Ailduin?” She asks him.

He turns and looks Angel. “You are immune to wolfsbane, correct?”

I watch as Angel thinks about it for a moment. “Yes.

I turn to her. “You’re immune to wolfsbane?” I ask her.

“Yes, and mostly to silver as well, or at least a resistance to its effect.”

“I have an immunity to wolfsbane as well.” Cara states. “Dad thought he was building the immunity in me but it turns out I got it from mom.”

I look from Cara to Angel before turning to Ailduin and extending my hand. He drops the vial into my hand. I look at it for a moment, then pop the cork and

down it in one swallow. I’m ready for the burning fire, the weakness, but it doesn’t come.

I stand there, waiting, but it never comes. Rik, Anders and Clint are all staring at me. “Well?”

1 look at Angel and smile. “Nothing. Nothing at all.‘

I pull her to me and kiss her fiercely. “Thank you Angel.”

She laughs. “I didn’t do anything.”

“You shared your gifts with me, intentionally or unintentionally, so yes, you did. I was happy with the gift of having you as my mate, but you just keep giving to me Angel.”

She smiles at me, then I see the twinkle in her eye. “Want to try the silver?”

I shake my head at her smiling, because yes, actually, I do. I want to know if I have a resistance to silver now too. I turn to Ailduin. “Do you have silver?”

He pulls some out of a bag at his feet, holding it out to me. “Give it a try.”

I make a fist, knowing this is going to hurt, but then, the wolfsbane should have too. I reach out and gingerly touch the silver. There is a zing, causing Cyran to growl in my head. ‘Stay with me buddy, let’s see if this works.”

I grab hold of the silver shackles, holding them in both hands. It’s uncomfortable, but it’s not burning my skin like it should be.

‘Cyran?‘

‘I’m here. I can feel it pulling on my strength. It’s weakening me, but not incapacitating me.‘
