Chapter 0185

Well, that’s two questions answered. Alessia is definitely a Guardian and because she’s a Guardian, her parents

ran away from the pack rather than risk having her forced into a mate bond.

As thankful as | am for sanswers, and as excited as | can see that Cara is, Angel is still recovering. She

needs her rest. “Okay, we'll cby tomorrow for dinner, but | think that’s enough for tonight. Angel still needs

to rest and get stronger.”

“Yes, of course.” Cara says. “But, before | go, | need to know. Have you been on the run this entire time? Liam

mentioned something about vampires.”

| look at Angel. It’s her story to tell. “I was held prisoner by vampires.” She says. quietly.

Cara’s enthusiasm immediately ends. “What?” She looks between us. “What do you mean ‘held prisoner’.” She

uses her fingers to make air quotes as she says held prisoner.

“A vampire prince keptprisoner as his personal blood bag for seven years.”

Cara gasps, her hand going to her mouth. “But you're a werewolf. Vampires hate the taste of werewolves.”

Angel shrugs. “The one who caught me, his nwas Sebastian, called met something like ‘custos regni‘ when

he tasted my blood.”

| watch as Cara goes pale. “Cara, what is it?”

She turns to look at me. “Do you know Eatin?” She asks.

| shake my head. “No.”

“Custos Regni, it means ‘Guardian of the Realm’. It means,” her hands going instinctively to her stomach,

protecting her unborn baby, “that they know of ust and we, as Guardians, must taste good to them.”

“Not just good, | think maybe he becaddicted to my blood.” Angel says. “He wouldn't let anyone else feed

on me. No one was allowed to touchexcept once when another vampire royal visited. And no one was

allowed to taint me. His word. But I'm thankful for it, because it meant none of them ever rapedlike they did

to everyone else in that hellish place.”

| can’t help the snarl that rips from my mouth. He's lucky he didn’t rape my mate, but he'll still pay for what he

did to her.

“I need to go.” Cara says looking like she’s going to vomit up her dinner. “I need to try to get ahold of Ailduin

before you cby tomorrow.” She turns to me. And if those bloodsuckers think they can cand take Angel,

they'll have one hell of a fight on their hands. We will stand beside you. We would have anyway, but there's no

way Rik and Anders will put either Dad or | at risk. | just hope Rik doesn’t try to puton skind of lockdown

because of it.” She shakes her head as she stands.

She leans over, hugging Angel again. “It was so good to finally meet you. I'm so happy that we found you. You

will be safe here. | promise.” She turns and looks atas if confirming what she said. | nod.

“I'll walk you out.”

We walk to her car in silence. When we get there, she turns. “She doesn’t know you’re her mate yet.” It's a

statement, not a question.

“It doesn’t seem so, I'm hoping Alessia will recognize Cyran when she’s stronger.”

She grasps my wrist. “I knew Rik was my mate before Artemis confirmed it. Be there for her, be someone that

makes her feel safe and even if it takes Alessia time, Angel will feel it.”

| lean down and kiss her on top of her head. “I'm working on it.”

She slides into the driver's seat. “Anything | need to know about Eli before | leave?”

“He says he’s sorry and willing to pay penance for what he did to you, but he’s still denying that he killed my

mother.”

She frowns, looking at me. “Why is he denying it?”

I shrug. “I have no idea, but | won't stop until he giveswhat | want.”

She smiles up at me. “I'm glad you found your mate. She’ll keep you grounded.”

| close her door and watch her drive off before heading back to my mate.

When | get back upstairs, she’s fallen asleep. | decide to use this tto get swork done. | head to my office

on the first floor. | find Dustin behind my desk when | walk in.

“So, Cara? How was that?” He jumps right in as he moves out of my chair.

“Surprisingly good.” | reply, taking a seat.

“Really? No hard feelings, no lingering love interest.”

I look at him. He hasn't met his mate yet, so he doesn’t know what it’s like. “No. | don’t know how to describe it,

but it’s as if she’s not good enough anymore. Like she could never be towhat Angel is. The mate bond is a

strange thing. | never realized how strong the pull to your mate would be. It’s exciting and scary all at once.” |

stop and look at him. “Does that make any sense?”

“Not even a little, but | trust your judgement. Maybe sday I'll get lucky enough to stumble across my mate

and I'll understand.”
