Chapter 0035
As happy as | was that it was Friday, | was terrified of another public display of wills between Alphas. | could only
hope that my offer to Liam of training and dinner helped him feel calm enough that he didn’t show up at school
again today.
By lunch time, | was a nervous wreck. Not only was everyone, and | mean EVERYONE at the school talking about
what happened yesterday (even two teachers asked if | had a preference for one of the Alphas. Seriously??), but
what if my mystery man was scared off? Or worse, what if he wasn’t and Liam showed up again?
When | walked into the cafeteria, | wasn't sure if | was relieved or hurt that no one was waiting for me.
Artemis piped up in my head, ‘If Liam scared him off, he wasn’t worthy of us anyway.’ In sways, | don’t
disagree. Artemis is a very powerful wolf and needs a powerful wolf for a mate, but | also know that Liam is a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtstrong and powerful Alpha. He intimidates almost everyone. ‘Almost being the operative word,’ she retorts.
| get my food and join Lacey and Jason at our table. “So, | guess Alpha Liam scared off your mystery man.” Lacey
says.
| shrug, not really knowing what to say. There is no gift. Was that intentional, or was no gift planned today? Or
maybe, because it was Friday it was planned for the end of the day. It was anyone’s guess.
As we are talking, a hush and then a loud buzz of chatter begins in the room. It look up to see the most beautiful,
delicate, exquisite man | have ever seen. He was easily seven feet tall, but lean and lithe in a flowing gown that
seemed to float around him as he glided over to me. A deep, melodic voice asks, “Cara Nelson?”
I nod, yes, because | can’t get my mouth to work. He must be a fae. I've never seen one before, they are rare
and almost never interact with werewolves, but he looks exactly like what | would expect a male fae to look like.
In his hands, he has a gift, wrapped in plain brown paper and tied with twine. ” This is for you,” and he hands me
the gift. | look up at him. “Thank you. Is there a card?”
He arches an arrogant eyebrow at my question. “It requires none.” And he turns. on his heel to leave. Before he
exits, he states loudly, “My debt is paid in full.” And he walks out.

| stare down at the gift in my hands. For sreason, the lack of a card and decorative wrapping has me
nervous of what this could be. | untie the twine and open the wrapping. | gasp and my hand flies to my mouth. |
am in awe.
After a minute, | reach out a shaking hand to touch the leather cover of the tome. In elegant writing that looks
like it was burned into the leather the title reads: The History of the Guardian. There is exactly one version of this
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbook in the world, and it is now in my possession. | know my father has searched for this book for decades and
has never been able to find it, but my mystery man has found it and given it to me. | feel tears prick my eyes at
such a priceless gift.
“Thank you.” | whisper, but since you can hear a pin drop in the room, | know my suitor can hear me.
| clutch the book to my chest. | need to get this hto my father. It's too precious to even have withat
school the rest of the day. As the bell rings, | finally look around to see others with a questioning look on their
face. Everyone wants to know what the gift is so they can understand my response. My eyes meet glaciers and |
am locked into his gaze. He doesn’t look surprised or like he’s wondering what | received. He looks..... happy.
With my response? | have no idea.
