The Broken Warrior's Daughter

When | drop Angel off at Clint’s, | walk her inside. | need Clint to know that she’s still healing from yesterday and tired from our marking and mating last night.

After | get his assurances that he won't push her too hard or let her overdo it, | pull her aside.

“Alessia.” Cyran pushes forward, | want her to understand the importance of what I’m about to say and | need for her to listen to me. | put my hands on her shoulders when | see the gold rim of Alessia’s eyes and Angel's eyes turn from gray to an olive color.

“Do not run home. | don’t know if there are other vampires in the area. While we have patrols out keeping an eye on the borders, they are after you. | don’t want you out there without me when | can’t ensure your safety.”

“Yes Alpha.” She says and bares her neck to me. Her act of submission is so unexpected that | stand there for a moment, my heart stuttering in my chest before | reach down and gently nip her neck then kiss my way up to her mouth.

“| love you too much to lose you.” | tell her. She nods and | peck her lips before leaving, my heart much lighter than it was earlier.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

On the way back to my packhouse, | begin thinking of everything that | need to do. First, | need to prepare for the meeting tonight. | have some ideas, but | want to see what Anders and Rik have to say as well. | also need to plan to meet with Cara and Rik about Eli. If he didn’t kill my mother, | have no reason to keep him prisoner. I’m hoping they will agree to let him go. I've punished him enough for what he did to Cara, at least in my opinion. He said he regrets it, and Angel says. he’s telling the truth. So, I'd like to send him on his way, giving him enough so he can start fresh on his own.

| also need to plan Angel’s Luna ceremony and | need to get back into the city. | have some new employees that need to finalize their paperwork, financial statements that need to be reconciled and preparations to make in the event that something happens to me during the vampire war. | want to make sure that Angel is taken care of, she could be carrying my pup already. If | don’t survive, | need to know that she and my possible pup will have everything they need.

When I return to the packhouse, | get to work, making sure everything is ready for our meeting. Once that is done, | call George, the manager at my company and let him know I'll be coming in tomorrow and staying the night. I’d like to take Angel shopping in town and maybe take her out to dinner again, walk

through the park and show her around. My apartment has been completely renovated since | brought Audra there, and I’m glad. Everything will be new for my little angel.

I've lost track of time when Dustin comes in. “Everyone should be here in the next 30 minutes. Did you want me to have the kitchen staff bring in food now, or wait until everyone is here?” He asks me.

“Let's have them set up a side bar with food and drinks. Then we can see if they want to stay for a more formal dinner afterward.

Everything is set when Alpha Anders and Alpha Rik walk in, followed closely by Cara, Clint and Rik’s Beta, Chase. | greet everyone, Cara leaning in to kiss my cheek. “Angel went upstairs to shower, she’ll be down in a few minutes.” She tells me.

| turn to Clint. “How did she do today?”

“She did great. Being mated looks good on her. It looks good on both of you.” He says smiling at me.
