The Broken Warrior's Daughter

| make two plates for them, giving them some bottles of water and send them on their way. “Sarah, if you need anything at all, just ask anyone for Dustin, me or Liam.”

As they walk away, | hear Sarah asking Dustin why he calls me Luna, and him. explaining more about pack hierarchy. Liam walks in after they leave, watching as they walk away. “I guess we’re on our own for dinner?” He says. “Yes.”

“Good, I’d like to have dinner with the pack, if that’s okay with you. | really need to announce you as the Luna and let the pack know that the vampires are coming. We start training with Rik’s pack tomorrow morning. Since Dustin will be out of pocket a lot, I'll need to restructure the rosters to make sure everyone is at the combined training at least once per day.”

We grab plates, piled high with food and walk into the dining room. We sit down with some other pack members and after saying hello and giving introductions, | turn back to Liam.

“What else needs to be done Liam. What else can | do to help you. It’s too much. for one person.” He pulls me close into his side, leaning into me and softly saying, “Thank you. I’m so very lucky to have you in my life.” He sits back, taking a bite of food while he thinks. “Actually, there is something that you can do that would be a great help.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

We need to make sure that the bunkers and safe rooms are cleaned and stocked with food, medical supplies, linens, baby supplies, basically everything that the pack members will need while they wait for the battle to end.”

“I can help you with that Luna.” A young mother sitting at our table says. “Since I'll be staying in one of the rooms, I’m sure | have some ideas about what we'd need and I'd like to help.”

“Perfect, that’s settled. Leave it to us.” | tell Liam and | can see some of the tension leaving his face. I’m glad I’m the one helping to relieve the stress that he’s constantly under.

After dinner, Liain stands and gets the attention of those in the dining hall. It’s not everyone, not with over 800 pack members, but a large majority of pack

“Attention everyone. | know | usually do this in a more formal way, but | have a couple of announcements to make. First,” he pulls me to stand beside him. “This beautiful woman is my mate. You may have already heard that | have found her and that she and | have marked each other.” He’s interrupted by cheering.

He waits for everyone to quiet down again. “We will be having Angel’s Luna ceremony tomorrow night. | know it’s fast, but there is a reason for that.” He stops looking down at me before taking my hand in his and kissing it. “Angel was held captive by vampires for seven years. Apparently, vampires like the taste of Guardian blood. They have put a bounty on her head for seven million dollars. The other day, we were attacked by vampires in the canyon and today, we were attacked again at the offices in the city.”

Liam waits again as the pack members mumble their discomfort at this knowledge. “The vampires are coming for your Luna, but they will not take her from us.” More cheering explodes in the dining hall. He raises his hands for quiet. “Canyon Ridge Pack will fight with us. They are aware of the dangers to their Guardians and we are reinforcing our alliance with them, mixing our patrols so that our warriors learn their lands and theirs learn ours. In addition, starting tomorrow morning, our packs will train together, twice a day. | will have new training rosters posted later this evening. Any questions?”

Liam fields questions for thirty minutes before saying goodnight and walking us out of the dining room.
