When Liam and Ailduin came back from their walk, I was happy to see Liam smiling.
“is everythingokay?” I asked him.
He wraps his arms around me. “Perfect! Ailduin has another test for you,solet’s go see what other strengths my little mate is hiding.”
I laugh as we head toward the others. Clint, Cara, Rik, Anders, Ailduin and Aolis are already there.
“I have one more test I’d like to try before Aolis and I head home and begin adding to your chronicles. What I’d like to do, is see if Angel can use her ability to direct her aura on Cara’s aura.”
Ailduin turns to Rik. “Can we get a couple of your warriors again?”
Rik calls over a few of his warriors, Trevor running over in his excitement to assist again. Apparently, he enjoys seeing how strong we, as Guardians, are compared to himself.
There were five warriors this time. “Okay, Angel, stand behind Cara and put your hands on her arms.”
I do as I he asks, but rather than putting my hands on her arms, Cara reaches. back and we hold hands. She squeezes them, then smiles at me over her shoulder.
“Now, Cara, I want you to slowly push your aura out. While she does that Angel, I want you to guide it, so that these two warriors,” he points to Trevor and another warrior, “are not protected and these three are protected.”
Trevor gives me a cocky grin. “Let’s see what you’ve got Lunas!”
His friend smacks him on the arm. “Shut up Trevor.”
I focus on Cara, reaching out and feeling her aura.
“Ready?” She asks me.
“Ready.”
She begins pushing her aura out and I fight it, forcing it to mold to my will. Her aura is strong, but mine is stronger. It takes a lot of effort and strength, but I’m. able to push her aura around the three that Ailduin said to protect.
Trevor is gritting his teeth, but he’s watching to see that the other three are not

impacted. “Damn.”
“Cara, are you using your full strength?”
“No, just a normal aura.”
“Angel,do you think you can hold it if she pushes harder?”
“Not sure.” I grit out. I’m struggling as it is.
“Cara, slowly start increasing the pressure of your aura.” Ailduin tells her.
And she does. I hold on as long as I can, and it’s obvious when I lose control as the other three warriors, getting hit hard with her aura, drop to their knees.
She releases her aura and I let go, breathing heavily. Liam is right there, holding on to me, lending me his strength.
“I know that you have a big battle coming. I would suggest that the Guardians all train together. Begin to engage your powers with each other. It’s possible that it was always meant to be this way, but the Alphas kept the Guardians separated until now. Or, it’s possible that Cara is the key, the core that brings the powers of the Guardians together. Either way, I think that with practice, you will all be stronger and will make a powerful force against the vampires.”
After training, we all have lunch together, before we say our goodbyes. Ailduin and Aolis head back to Araphyra, their home, while Liam and I head back to Shadow Falls.
“Do you realize how amazing you are my sweet little mate?” Liam says to me, holding my hand in his lap and periodically bringing it to his lips for a kiss.
“It’s really Alessia that is amazing, I’m just the lucky human that gets her for a wolf.” I tell him.
“I don’t think that’s true. I think the human has to be worthy of the Guardian spirit just as muchasthe wolf. And by that reasoning, you are amazing. And we already know that Alessia is amazing.”
The rest of the drive goes easily, listening to the playlist that Liam made for me, which I’m loving more and more.
When we get back to the packhouse, Liam turns to me. “I need to check in with Dustin and Jackson. Are you good on your own?”
I laugh. “Liam, what kind of Luna would I be if I weren’t good walking around our pack without you?”
He kisses me on the top of my head and jogs off to find Dustin. I turn to the

kitchens, eager to see what Olivia has done in my absence. I’m amazed at the progress she’s made in the couple of days that I’ve been gone. Everything in the kitchen is organized and she has it set up so that all ingredients are together in order of the meals that they will be used in..
