Chapter 0583
“Anders thinks that because I’m a pregnantfemalethat I can’t go on the trip to Silver Dawn aspartofourshow of strength.” I say, stomping out the packhouse door and into the yard.
“Clint?” I hear her ask from behind me.
“It’ll be okay. Cal
Calista. Lily is stronger than Anders is giving her credit for and she’s about to remind him of
that.” And I hear him chuckling.
I have no intention of dragging this out. I’ve become stronger since the last time Anders sparred with me. Back then, I was using the time to learn and practice my moves. Now, I’m going to take my Alpha down and remind him that a Guardian is a Guardian, regardless of gender.
As soon as we are in place and Charles blows the whistle, I don’t hesitate. I immediately go on offense, kicking and swiping at Anders‘ head and feet. I swipe his legs, taking him down, but he jumps back up immediately.
I anticipated this and my next kick goes straight for his head. He ducks in time and begins to spar with me for real. Maybe he thought he would need to be gentle with me, but that’s not the case. Even if he punched me in my stomach, Andra’s shield would protect our child.
However, I don’t give Anders that opportunity. I keep going at him, taking him down again and again. When I finally get my chance, I grab his arm, twisting it just to the point of dislocation. He drops to his knees and looks at me over his shoulder.
“Fuck Lily!”
“Do you submit, Alpha?”
He grimaces and I twist just a bit more to make sure he knows I have him. “Yes, fine. You can come with
us.”
I release his arm and turn. Seeing my mate’s proud smile, I run and jump into is arms. “That’s my girl.” He says, hugging me.
The night before we head to Silver Dawn, Clint and I are laying in bed, curled up together..
“Lily, I know you can take care of yourself and you’re an excellent fighter. But you are my mate, and your are carrying my child. I need to you stay close to me tomorrow. If they fight, you won’t be able to shift, and Donovan and I will need to be close to protect you and our pup.”
I can feel his worry bleeding through the bond. “I will.Ihave no intention of risking our pup for that asshole. But I don’t think it will come to that. If he doesn’t listen to Anders, Andra and I will just remind him of what it felt like to have her teeth sinking into his throat. And we weren’t even adults yet when we had him pinned.”

“But you can’t shift.” He says, and I can feel his confusion.
“Yes, but Alpha Jerome doesn’t know that.”
Clint chuckles behind me. “I hope that’s all it will take for him to back down. I know Anders is worried about Calista and their pup. He doesn’t want to do anything to risk either of them.”
“Alpha Jerome is a pompous, arrogant coward. He thinks too highly of himself. But his fear for his life. will make him back down.”
He kisses my hair, pulling me closer to him. “Have I told you today how much I love you? How amazing you are and how lucky I am to be your mate?”
I make a point of pretending to think, tapping my finger against my chin. “Hmmm, maybe? I don’t think so. Perhaps you can make it up to me by showing me just how much you love me and just how lucky you
feel
I turn my head, smirking at him over my shoulder and that’s all it takes. Clint never leaves a question in my mind. My mate loves me more than anything in the world.

So, my little Easter Egg of “That’s my girl. WhenIwrote it in Broken Warrior when Anders told Clint that Cara had pinned him in 15 minutes, I knew Clint had said it toLily.His smile at the time was his memory of this day, whenLilytook Anders down. I hope you enjoyed the tie–in.
