Chapter 0491

As Lily closes the door, | immediately hear her sniffles and soft sobs. I clench my fists and go in search of Patrick.

I'm furious that they didn’t throw her father in the cells or at least make sure he returned home.

| find him in his office. | walk in without knocking. He looks up and when he sees it's me, he sits back in his chair,

folding his hands together on his desk.

“Clint? Something on your mind?”

| should sit down, but my temper won't letsettle. “I took Lily for a run tonight to get her out after everything

that happened.” | look up to see if he’s going to make ssmart comment, but he remains quiet, watching me.

“Her father was laying in wait for us when we returned.” That got his attention. He sits up, leaning forward.

“Where?”

“Outside the packhouse. Called her slut, ungrateful and basically blamed her for everything. Then he said

something about it all being a misunderstanding and Lily will be moving back hwhen it’s figured out.” | turn

to look at him, my anger flashing hot. “I thought you were going to punish him, not let him harass his daughter

and lie about what is really going on.”

Patrick sighs. “Have a seat, Clint.”

“I'll stand.”

“It wasn’t a suggestion.” He says and staresdown until | sit. | may be stronger than he is, but he’s still my

Alpha.

When I sit, he rubs his hands over his face. | can see that this entire situation is causing him stress. But that’s his

job as the Alpha. You get the good and the bad with leading a pack.

“I was not expecting Evelyn Raines to break down in my office and beg for leniency for her mate on her knees. |

did it for her.’

Okay, that was unexpected. I'd never met Lily's mom, but | assumed that she got her strength of character from

someone, and since it obviously wasn’t her father, | thought it would have been her mother. Apparently, Lily got

her strength from herself.

‘Another reason our mate is incredible and perfect for us.” Donovan pipes in.

“So, now what? He just gets to harass ver?” | ask, still forming from the confrontation.

“Of course not. He'll be spending a night in the cells for that little stunt. He's also been bannad from leaving the

pack lands, but I'll give him an Alpha command to stay away from Lily without my express permission.” He

wouldn't be able to refuse the Alpha command.

“Were you able to get her sclothes and things for school tomorrow?” Task.

“Yes, they were left in her room. Her mother wanted to see her and that’s when i realized that you must have

taken her out.”

I look out the window behind Patrick's desk. “She looked so sad.

He nods, givinga moment. “Was there anything else?”

“Yes. | wanted to get your permission to train Lily and Andra away from the warriors. Especially now, with how

her father treated her, | don’t want her distracted.”

He looks atintently long enough that anyone else would be squirming in their seat. But I'm a Guardian, |

don’t squirm. | wait him out.

“I want a demonstration every other day of what she’s learning. And Clint, I'd better see progress quickly.”

| smirk at him. “I already knew you'd say that.”

When | leave his office, | go back to Lily’s room. | put my ear to her door, and | can hear that she’s still sniffling.

As | turn to leave, | see Beta Calvin standing in his doorway, watchingwith his arms crossed across his chest.

“Clint?” He says, his eyebrows raised.

“I was just checking on her, Calvin. We had a run-in with her father earlier and | wanted to see if she was okay,

but she’s still crying.” | say quietly, looking at her closed door.

His arms drop and he steps closer to me, lowering his voice. “What kind of run- in?” He asks.

| tell him and his lips press together. “I was worried that Evelyn was more concerned about her mate’s

punishment than he was. I'm assuming you spoke to Patrick?”

| tell him my conversation with Alpha Patrick and he nods. “The Alpha command will ensure that he leaves Lily

alone, or at least that he doesn’t speak to her

without Patrick’s consent. But I'll keep my eye on her anyway.”

“Thanks, Calvin.” | move to step around him when he starts chuckling.

“Don’t thank me. The closer I'm watching her, the harder it will be for you to get to her.”
