Chapter 0547

Clint is making it impossible for me not to fall for him all over again. Everything about what he’s saying seems genuine. The fact that he has me listed as his mate in his phone and my birthday is his code is…. well, a bit overwhelming. I can feel my heart giving in.

I close my eyes for a moment, trying to collect myself before opening them and reading Alpha Patrick’s

message.

“He

le says

to meet him in his office in a half hour. Beta Calvin is bringing Anna in for an interview.”

I look back up at Clint. “How do you think she got past Alpha Patrick’s command?”

He’s drying himself off and as he turns, I can see that he also has bruises on his butt and legs. His are not healing as fast as mine, since Donovan is still out because of the wolfsbane.

Andra pushes forward and leans down, licking the wounds on his legs and over his muscular butt.

“Lily? What are you doing?” Clint’s voice is choked, and his body has gone tense. He turns and looks at

me, realizing it’s Andra that has pushed forward.

“I’m healing my mate. I know Donovan isn’t back and I know the bruises are painful. You would do it for

me and Lily.”

He gently brushes the hair from my face as Andra continues to lick his wounds. While I’m uncomfortable

with this level of intimacy, I do agree that we can help begin his healing process while Donovan is

unconscious.

“Do you recognize Donovan as your mate?” Clint asks Andra.

to him. That

She finishes licking his wounds and stands in front of him. “No. But I’ve always felt a pull

pull has been getting stronger the closer we get to our birthday. I can’t speak for Lily, but I believe you that you and Donovan are our mates.”

“Thank you, Andra. And thank you for healing me.” He takes my face in his hands and rubs his nose

against mine before kissing it.

“Can you give Lily back control so we can go to this meeting now?”

“Yes, my mate.”

Clint’s answering smile lights up the room. “I like hearing you

you say that.”

“Well she may be willing to say it, but I’m not. Not until I know for sure.” I say, taking over control from Andra. I look back down at his legs. They look better already. “Did it help?”

“Yes, and so did having you wash me. What they say about a mate’s touch having healing powers is true, even if you don’t feel it yet.”

I don’t respond, but he’s wrong. I do feel it. It makes sense why I’ve had such strong feelings toward him. I tried to push him away and I didn’t want to have anything to do with him, but my heart and my head are at odds. My heart and Andra, however, are in complete agreement.

There’s only about a month until my birthday. While my body reacts very strongly to his touch, I think I want to restrict any sexual activities until I know for sure that he’s my mate. I gave myself to him and almost immediately regretted it. Maybe it wasn’t his fault and maybe I misread what I saw, but it has made me rethink giving myself to him before I know that he’s my mate.

I help him get dressed and then we head over to the packhouse. He’s still a bit weak, but not as weak as he was when he first got out of bed.

When we get to Alpha Patrick’s office, we are the first to arrive. Clint pulls two chairs away from the others, and motions for me to sit in one and he sits in the other. It’s only a moment before Beta Calvin

walks in with Anna.

She sees the two of us and immediately stiffens. “I did what you asked. I haven’t gone near you since you told me to stay away.” She turns to Alpha Patrick. “If he says I did, he’s lying.”

Alpha Patrick raises an eyebrow at her, and she realizes she spoke out of turn. However, I find her

outburst intriguing. Clint told her to stay away from him? That had to be after I saw them together.

“That is not why you are here, Anna. Have a seat.” Alpha Patrick says to her.

She sits down, Beta Calvin sitting beside her. Clint’s demeanor hasn’t changed. He’s not happy that Anna

and I are in the same room.

I’ve never been on the receiving end of an Alpha’s interrogation. Even for me, it’s a bit intimidating. While Alpha Patrick’s aura doesn’t affect me, I can still feel it. Anna, on the other hand, is very affected by his

aura. Her neck tilts in submission and he hasn’t even asked anything yet.

“I understand you slept with Alpha Mahli’s Beta, Terrance last weekend. Is that correct?”
