Chapter 0506
“Favorite color?” | ask.
“Green.” She says and 1 don’t understand the blush on her cheeks as she looks down. “Yours?” She asks, putting
a bite of food in her mouth.
“Mine used to be green as well, but now it’s azure blue, the color of your eyes.”
Those eyes connect with mine, laser focused to see if I'm lying. I'm not. And when her blush darkens, | realize
that her favorite color may be because of my eyes too.
“Favorite flower?”
She snorts. “You're expectingto say lily?*“.
“Nope, I'm asking. I'm not assuming anything.”
“Tulips, actually.”
“Favorite food?”
“Lasagna. Yours?”
“BBQ ribs.”
“Mmmm, a good option for sure.”

“Favorite activity?”
“Training.”
“Training?”
“Yeah. | love being strong. | love being tough and giving you guys a little unexpected competition.”
| have to smile at that. She definitely surprised me.
“Why, what's your favorite activity?”
Hmmm, this is dangerous territory. Previously | would have said sex. Now, it's different.
“Kissing you.”
She givesa ‘you've got to be kidding me’ look.
“I'm serious. You've seen my response to you. It’s not exactly something | can hide.”

“Please. With your reputation, you have that response to any female.”
| lean in toward her across the table. “Do you want to know the truth?”
She looks hesitant. “I don’t know, do 17”
| crook my finger at her, encouraging her to get closer and | lower my voice. “I've never had this strong of a
reaction to kissing a woman. Everything about you makeswant more of you, Lily.”
She looks a little dazed for a moment before replying. “Well, you can want more, but you won't be getting it from
a,
| smirk at her. “Yes, you're very vocal about that. Doesn't matter. | want you, no one else interests me. I'll take
whatever parts of you you're willing to share with me.”
“You're pretty smooth, you know that?” She asks me.
| shrug. “When it comes to you, I'm nothing but honest.”
“Future plans?” | get back to my questioning.
“That one is tough. | always wanted to be a warrior, maybe a Lead Warrior. But now, being a Guardian, | don’t
know what that means for me.” She shrugs and takes another bite of food. “I do know that I want to find my
mate, have spups, make a happy life for my family and be a strong warrior that can protect not only my
family but also my pack.”
“How many pups do you want?”
She laughs at me. “Hoping I'll scare you off?”
“I told you, you're stuck withfor the rest of your life. I'm just curious.” Really curious, since I'm her mate and
I'm wondering how many pups are in my future. If she says ten, | might choke, but | know I could never say no to
her.
“Two or three maybe. I'd like to have a boy and a girl at least.” She smirks at me. “What about you? How many
pups do you want?”

I lean into her again. She won't understand just yet, but she will when the tcomes. “As many as my mate will
letput in her belly.”
She snorts. “Let's hope she, at least, has srestraint. Otherwise, we’ll have a baby boom of little Clints
running around.”
“I could only be so lucky. But something tellsmy mate is going to be very good at keepingin check.”

She raises her eyebrow at me. “Really? You think you're that easily tamed?” “I know you don’t think much of me,
Lily bud. And I do hope to change that. But believewhen | tell you that I've never wanted anything more in
my life than my fated mate. | believe, very strongly, that the Moon Goddess pairs us with the person who is
perfect for us. | will treasure my mate with every fiber of my being. I will love her like I've never loved anyone.
She will be my everything. There will be no need for her to tme. I'll be hers from the moment | find her.”
“Damn Clint. Keep it up and even | might start wishing to be your mate.” She says, laughing at her joke.
Oh Lily bud, if you only knew.
