“This is Orson and Wes.”

“A pleasure,” she nodded at them.

“The pleasure is all ours,” Orson said to her.

“We are glad that our Alpha has found such a caring and kind mate.”

“Thank you.”

“I am sending Orson and Wes to the mall with you.”

“But why?”

“Because, you are the Luna, and I don’t trust anyone,” he pointed out.

“You think someone would try and hurt me?”

“I would not put it past anyone, especially if they were trying to get to me,” he told her.

“Oh, I didn’t think of that,” she said as she kissed him.

“Thank you for thinking of my safety.”

“You are welcome.”

“What about you? Don’t you need guards?”

“I will be fine. I’m not to worried about today.”

He exchanged a glance with his guards, who nodded. Jillian hated that she couldn’t mind link with him. If only she was like him.

“I invited your parents over to dinner tonight,” Edric then told her.

“I wanted a welcoming home dinner for you.”

“Oh, that’s sweet of you,” Jillian smiled at him.

He smiled softly at her, loving how her smiles lit up her face. He loved making her happy.
Jillian then sat there and studied the guards.
They were both tall and well-built men. One had blonde hair, the other strawberry blonde hair, and both had blue eyes.

“Are you brothers?” Jillian asked them. Wes nodded. “We are.”

“Have you always been Edric’s guards?”

“For about five years,” Orson replied.

“How come I rarely see you?”

“Because we like to follow at a distance. We don’t want anyone knowing we are there, but if something happens, then we can step in to help.”

“Oh. So you have been following Edric the whole time I have known him?”

“For the most part,” Orson said.

“Not to the school, but everywhere else.”

“Oh. Do you like your jobs?”

“Luna, why are you asking them that?” Edric said, smiling at her.

“You know they are going to answer yes in front of me.”

The men grinned. Orson nodded.

“Yes, we do like our jobs, Luna,” he winked.

She laughed, making Edric shake his head.
Almost an hour later they pulled up to the mall. Edric’s phone rang just as they did, and Jillian spotted Kimberly waiting on the stairs to the entrance.

“Edric,” he answered. “Yes, we will be there in 10.”

He hung up and then kissed Jillian.

“Have fun,” he told her.

She nodded and got out of the limo, the two guards following. She met Kimberly on the steps, who hugged her.

“Looking good girl. So who are the hunks?” she teased. The men ignored her.
