Chapter 0598
When I returned to the packhouse after being in the hospital, Anders had moved most of my things to a room on the first floor. It was just another reminder of how far I had fallen. The name stuck and I could
hear people whispering about the broken warrior“.
I waited until after Lily’s funeral before approaching Anders.
“I’m leaving Anders.”
“Where are you headed, Clint.” He asks me as we navigate through the packhouse. It was never meant to house a wheelchair. Andershasmade accommodations for me, but it’s not how the packhouse was built.
“I’m taking Cara and we’re leaving. I can’t stay here.”
He stops, turning to look at me. “No.”
“You don’t have a say in it. I’m no good to you anymore. I’m notevencapable of being your Guardian.”
“You’re still a warrior in this pack.”
“But a broken warrior, right? Isn’t that what everyone is callingme, the broken warrior? I can’t live like
this. I won’t live like this.”
Anders snarls and he immediately sends out an Alpha command telling everyone that if they are heard
calling me the broken warrior again, they will answer to him. His aura is so strong, I hear several omegas
in the packhouse yelp.
He turns back to me. “You’re not leaving. That’s an order.” I see Zakaihascome forward and I feel his
Alpha aura pushing over me.
I scoff at him. “I may be broken, but I’m still a Guardian. Your Alpha aura has no effect on me.” Even
though Donovan is still suffering from the loss of our mate and can’t come forward, I’m still not affected by the Alpha aura. Donovan wants to leave the pack too, and he’s only harging on because of our pup.
Calista comes running up. “What’s going on?”
“Clint thinks he’s leaving our pack. He’s not.” He snarls at me.
Calista crouches in front of me. “Clint. Please.We’ve already lost Lily. We can’t lose you and Cara too.”
Calista has always been a gentle soul. Between that and her long–term friendship with Lily, I can’t bring
myself to be unkind to her, so my voice is gentler when I speak.
“I can’t stay here, Calista. I don’t belong here anymore.”
She puts her hand on mine. “You do belong here. You are a Guardian of this pack, and you are my best friend’s mate. But I understand if being in the packhouse isn’t comfortable for you any longer. Will you

give me a couple of months. Let me make other arrangements for you and Cara? Will you do that for me. please?”
I nod, knowing I can’t deny her. True to her word, two months later, Calista and Anders take me and Cara to a house that they built on the edge of the pack territory. “I’ve told the patrols to give this place a wide berth. You’ll have privacy and no one will bother you here. If you see anyone breaching the borders, send up the alarm. Otherwise, you won’t see anyone you don’t want to see.”
They walk us inside. The house has been built for someone in a wheelchair. The counters are lower, the downstairs bedroom has wide doorways and rails in the shower so I can get myself in and out on my own. The bathroom sink is low enough for me to use without having to pull myself up and has an opening so I can slide my wheelchair underneath as I get ready in the morning.
I can hear Cara upstairs. Calista took her up to show her her new bedroom. Anders showed me pictures and told me if I wanted to go see it, he’d carry me up when Cara wasn’t home. Calista decorated it for her but told her if she wanted to make any changes, she could. The only thing Cara asked for was a phone. I’ve noticed that she calls Alpha Liam when she’s feeling down. At first, I thought he would tell her to stop calling, but he never does, and he answers every time she calls. I’ve even heard her call in the middle of the night when she couldn’t sleep.
The house is more comfortable for me, and even though Cara is still young, Calista makes a point to check on her and come tuck her into bed every night. I begin to feel like I can breathe again. I understand what Alpha Christopher meant about fighting through and taking the necessary steps until you don’t have to fight them anymore. Once we moved into the house, it was just me and Cara. She and I didn’t have anyone else to help her get up and get ready, so I had to do it. Eventually, I get into a morning and evening routine and the days goes by.
