Chapter Nine

Sean stood pacing by the door to Lily’s bedroom. “I don’t like this, Lily. I won’t allow it”

“You won’t allow it? Come on, Sean. Do you think I want this?” she replied, tying her sneakers before she grabbed her duffel bag to check she had everything she needed.

“Delia challenged me. What would you have me do?” she asked zipping the black canvas bag.

He flung his arm out in a frustrated gesture. “Nothing. That’s what. Delia is my problem. You should have left her to me to handle.”

Lily placed her bag on the bed and sat down beside it. “You tried that, remember? Delia blew you off, and everyone knows it. Now it’s only a matter of time before she challenges me in some way. I need to train.”

“Then I’ll train you.”

Lily laughed, but the sound was soft and full of appreciation. “And how would that look? You’re the Alpha. It wouldn’t be right. Hell, I can’t even let Jack help me even though he offered. It makes me look like I’m incapable.”

“Jack should offer since he’s the reason you’re in this mess.”

Lily got up from the bed and walked toward him. “Is that what’s been bothering you about this?” Lily shook her head slowly. “I have news for you, Delia made up her mind about me way before she lunged. You may think Jack took things too far, but I think she deserved it.”

Sean snorted. “Jack is a Hunter. He should know better than to get into a pissing match with anyone, let alone with a woman. He’ll learn, though trust me.”

Lily raised an eyebrow, not liking Sean’s tone. “What did you do?”

Sean shrugged. “Nothing. The clinic is short staffed and they needed a few extra hands with everyone coming in for treatments. Tensions are still high and raw nerves are causing issues at the clinic. I sent Dr. Volkmann some of my hunters to help out.”

She looked at him. “That’s all?”

“That’s all.”

She narrowed her gaze, her eyes searching his. “Okay, then,” she said before turning to grab her bag from the bed.

“I’m so glad you approve.”

With a wink she adjusted the duffle bag’s strap on her shoulder. “I like Jack and he’s been a big help, not to mention good company,” she said before going up on her toes to give him a quick kiss. “Come meet me after my work out. We can grab some lunch,”

“If I have time. Who are you training with today?”

She shrugged. “Someone by the name of Shannon.”

Sean burst out laughing. “Oh boy. I’ll have the ice packs ready and waiting along with a big bottle of Advil.”

Lily shoved his shoulder back. “Give me a little credit, will you. Who is she anyway?”

“Delia’s sister.”
