Chapter 576

1 Clint and I work well together. Not only are we in tune as mates, but also having trained together for months. We trust each other and know that we’ve got each other’s back, so it frees us to be able to focus on the immediate battle in front of us.

When Benjamin tells them to search for me, we realize we have an advantage. He still hasn’t realized that Clint is awake. We both know we’re about to be in the fight of our lives. There is no one else to help us. The fate of this pack and possibly our own, lies with us.

“Stay together, Lily. We’re stronger together.” Clint says in our mind link.

I nod. We continue to move around the packhouse, taking out warriors. We hear Benjamin roar from above us. We realize he has found the three warriors we left dead and most likely realized that we’ve barricaded the others in the Beta’s room and our room.

When he comes back down, he pulls his ace card. He knows I won’t stand by and let him kill someone while I hide. He grabs one of the omegas from the floor, putting her in front of him. A claw extends and he lays it like a knife across her throat.

“Come out, Lily. I know it’s you killing my men. Come out now, and I won’t kill this innocent omega. You don’t want her blood on your hands, do you?”

“Lily, no!” Clint links me.

I turn to him, kissing him quickly. “I trust you. We can do this. You go around, get behind him. I’ll distract him.”

“Lily!” He says, but I’m already moving forward. I watch him dart away, not willing to leave me on my own against Benjamin and his remaining warriors.

two “Lily!” Benjamin calls out to me. “I’m going to count to three. One I’m out of time and have to hope that Clint gets into position quickly. I step out of the shadows, closer than he was expecting me.

“Let her go.” I say, making him jump.

He turns, keeping the omega between us. He looks me over. I don’t know what he sees, but it makes him sneer at me. “You killed my Beta.”

“Your Beta was going to kill an innocent child.”

“An Alpha heir to a pack that is now an enemy of my mine.”

“Perhaps you should have thought of that before you came to a celebration of his life where there would be two Guardians.”

“One of those Guardians has been eliminated. Once he is dead, I will mark you and make you mine.”

I chuckle at him. I can’t help it. “As if I would ever let you mark me. You are not an Alpha worthy of the title, much less a Guardian, and you’ll find that my mate is hard to kill.”

“You should have been my mate months ago. But Alpha Jerome ruined it by trying to take you out in front of everyone. I have much more finesse, more patience. I’ve bided my time and here we are. No one to stop me.”

“Wrong.” Clint says, coming up behind him and injecting him with something in his neck. Instantly, hist claw retracts and he grabs his neck.

He turns, looking at Clint, his eyes wide. “What have you done?”

“Injected you with what smelled like liquid silver. I think I got it into your blood stream. It should be pumping through your body right now. When it gets to your heart, you’ll be dead. NO ONE threatens my mate.” He snarls as Alpha Benjamin falls to the floor.

From the corner of my eye, I see a warrior leap at Clint. Andra shifts and takes him out before to Clint. I stand beside Clint, guarding his back as he turns to the warriors.

can get “You’ve lost your Alpha and your Beta, along with close 40 thirty warriors. If you choose to stay and fight, you will die along with them. There may only be two of us, but we’re Guardians. We’re stronger than you, we heal faster than you and we’re both immune to wolfsbane, as you can see. I suggest you think long and hard before deciding to attack us.”

Alpha Benjamin is writhing in pain at our feet. His warriors look at him. He’s trying to speak, but he can’t make coherent words. One after another, the warriors turn and leave. I don’t move until the last one moves out of the back door.

Clint turns to me. “Stay here and check these omegas. I’m going to make sure they leave and call Charles. We need back up.”
