-September lily

Come here and kiss me

That’s an order

September lily

Come here and kiss met

Please think about me

But only the good things

Like a mother

And the truth of it is

I wonder am I beautiful enough

For you to kiss me true”

The song has lyrics about the reasons for her tears and asking her to marry me. I sing them all, never

taking my eyes off hers. I watch as hers fill with tears.

I modify the final lyrics as I get down on one knee in front of her and her eyes get impossibly wider, Andra shining through them.

“September lily

My Lily bud

Please say you’ll go

To Prom with me.”

I finish the song, strumming the final notes and wait for her answer. The entire room has gone quiet. I

have an instant of fear that she’ll reject me before she starts laughing, tears falling from her eyes.

“You are crazy. But yes. Yes, I’ll go to prom with you.”

I jump up, pushing the guitar behind my back and pick her up, swinging her around as I kiss her. I hear polite applause behind me, but I don’t care. My mate agreed to go to Prom with me. Every Alpha in the

room can suck it. She’s mine.

The rest of the night, I keep Lily by my side except for the one dance that Alpha Eric insisted she promised him. I take the opportunity to dance with Luna Olivia. It keeps me closer to Lily. But while I

thought I would be able to listen into their conversation, Olivia has other ideas..

“That was a p

a pretty clear claim on Lily. Clint.” I focus my attention on my Luna, looking down into her

“Yes, Donovan recognized her as his mate the first time we saw her after we turned 18. Since then, I’ve been trying to convince her that I was worthy of being her mate.”

She nods. “And you didn’t notice until after your birthday?”

“I didn’t, but I wasn’t looking for my mate, nor was I paying attention. I didn’t think I’d find her until after my birthday.”

“But Donovan definitely recognized her as your mate after your birthday?” She asks me and I look where she’s looking, seeing Anders dancing with Calista. He has the look on his face that I imagine that I have

when Lily is in my arms.

“Yes.” I answer her question, knowing she’s trying to figure out if Zakai has recognized Calista and Shali as their mate. I know he has, Anders told me so, but that’s not for me to tell his mother. If he didn’t tell

her, there’s a reason, and I’m guessing it’s to keep her from putting her nose in the situation.

“Calista turns 18 next weekend, doesn’t she?”

“Yes, she does.” I say, my lips twitching at my Luna’s attempt to meddle in her son’s love life.

She must hear the smile in my voice because her laser focus returns to me. “And when is Lily’s birthday?”

“Two weeks.” I lean in, whispering in her ear. “And I can’t wait until she recognizes me as her mate, and I

can mark her as mine.”

She smiles at me a moment. “What do you think it means that two Guardians are fated? And that those

Guardians are both in our pack?”

I shrug. Anders, Patrick and Calvin have all asked this same question. “It could be the Moon Goddess wanting her children to come together in a way they never have before. Or maybe it was always meant to be this way and selfish Alphas kept them apart. I guess it’s also possible that something bad is coming and we’ll need two Guardians to fight it off, but I don’t think so.”

“I like this new you, Clint. You’re still confident, but without the arrogance.”

“My mate has made me want to be a better man for her and for our future pups.”

Olivia chokes at that. “It’s a bit soon for that, isn’t it?”

I shrug again. “I want an eternity with Lily. That means a family and a beautiful life together. I want it all everything. I never did before, but with her, I do.” I say, looking over at my mate. She must feel my stare

because she looks at me and gives me a radiant smile.
