Chapter 0108 “Dad. Have you forgotten that I’m HIS Guardian, not the other way around? Shouldn't you be threateningto keep him safe?”

| can’t help my smirk. Cara can’t see it, but Clint can. He looks pastat Cara again. “First, you're not back to full strength yet. Second, he’s taking you out as a date, not as his Guardian so he damn well better treat you with the respect and protection that he would provide any other woman on a date.” His gaze shifts back to me. “Isn’t that right, Alpha?”

“You are absolutely correct Guardian.” | use his title since he used mine. “And | will treat your daughter with the utmost care and respect this evening.”

His gaze returns to Cara. “Go get ready for training, | want to do slight strength building today.” “Okay dad, be right there.” Cara replies.

I start to turn to say goodbye to Cara, when Clint stops me. “Rik. Why don’t you plan to start joining us for our afternoon training sessions starting Monday.

| think my mouth fell to the floor. “It would be my honor sir.” He nods once before wheeling himself inside.

I'm still staring after him when | feel Cara’s finger under my chin, closing my mouth for me. She moves to stand in front of me. “Guess I'll be seeing a whole lot more of you Alpha.”

| focus my attention back on her. “Well Little Guardian, after | defeat you on Monday, you'll be spending more tthan just training with me. Now get going and be ready by six. | can’t wait to have you all to myself.”

| pull her toand give her a scorching kiss before heading back to my car. When | look back at her, she’s still watching me, her fingers touching her lips. Yeah, I'll be spending as much tas possible with my girl.

When | get home, | check in with my mom. She has the brownies baked and set aside for me. She took it a step further and put a picnic basket together and added swine and glasses. | thank her giving her a hug and a kiss on the top of her

head.

“Where's dad? He wanted to talk to me.”

“He’s in his office.”

| head up to my father’s office and knock, waiting for him to tellto cin

When he does, | walk in and go to sit in front of his desk. He looks tired. | ask th most important question. “Any news from Liarn about Eli Gunnar?”

“Nothing yet. He’s found traces of him, but he’s good at hiding. He’s been doing It for years.” | nod. | knew I'd have heard if Liam caught Eli, but | was hoping for better news.

“Son, | wanted to talk to you about Cara.”

| sit up straighter, this was unexpected. “What about her?”

He folds his hands together and leans forward resting his arms on his desk and he looks at me. “Have you given any thought to what it will be like to have a Guardian as a mate?”

It has occurred to me, and | have to admit, | don’t like it. Kai and | already feel protective of Cara. Losing her to Eli, even fora week was maddening. And this is before we have a solidified bond. It will only becharder once she accepts us and we’ve marked and mated her.

“| have. I’m not really sure how to handle it Dad. | can’t give her a command to stand down, and | don’t want to command her. | want a partner. | want her to stand beside me, not in front of me. | should be the one protecting her, not the other way around. That’s my job as her Alpha, as her mate. But, | think we'll have to have a serious conversation about what that means for us and our future.”

He nods his head. “I’m glad you're already thinking about it. | don’t know that | have any advice for you. My bond with Clint made it hard enough to have him putting his life on the line for me. If it had been your mother...” He stops, shaking his head. Yeah, it’s not a comfortable thought and one that I’ll need to think about more before tonight. | want to have a plan to discuss with her. She’s stubborn and fierce, but | need for her agree withon this.

“That was all, son. | wanted to make sure that you were thinking about the potential consequences

of the future.”

| smile at my father. Thinking about the future is what good alphas do. And my father has raisedto be a good alpha.

| stand to go. “Thanks Dad. | appreciate it.”

As | turn to leave, he asks, “Where are you taking Cara tonight?”

“Ethereal.” | smile. “I want her to have the true dining experience. Then I’m taking her to the overlook to see the stars and eat brownies.”

“Sounds like a good night. Enjoy son.”

“| will.” And with that, | head out to get ready for my date.
