The Broken Warrior's Daughter

We start with the auras. Ailduin is very interested in how this works and what it might mean. He starts with me, giving me instructions. Rik brings in some of his warriors to use as test subjects. One seems excited but the other looks worried.

“Okay Angel. Let’s try this with two. Can you put your aura around one and push your aura onto the other one?” | look at them, not wanting to hurt either one. | know Liam said | hurt the pack when | did it before.men didn’t do anything to me and | don’t want to cause them pain. | look at Liam, silently asking for help.

“Rik, do you have anyone in your cells?” He asks Rik, not taking his eyes off me. | flick my gaze to Rik who looks thoughtful for a moment.

“Yeah, | have two. One young man who took his parents‘ car for a joyride and crashed into a business and one that drank too much and decided to use his mate as a punching bag.”

“That one.” Liam tells him.

A few minutes later, | see a man bring pulled over to where we are. Rik walks over to him. “We decided to add to your punishment. We need a test dummy and since. you acted stupid, you've been selected.”

He turns to Angel as he steps away. “Whenever you're...”Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

| hear Alessia growl a moment before | hear the man yelp, his knees hitting the ground, his neck in full submission. Trevor, the warrior next to him just stands looking awestruck. “Whoa.”

“Excellent Angel. That's truly amazing. Trevor, you feel nothing?” Ailduin asks

Trevor.

“Nothing really, maybe a bit of warmth, not even heat, almost like a comfortable blanket wrapped around me.” “Okay, let's see what Cara can do.”

Alessia is seething in my mind, angry that this man abused his mate bond like he did. He begins whimpering as my aura pushes at him. | feel Liam’s arms go around me. “Let him go Alessia. This is a training sequence, not a punishment. He’s not part of our pack. Rik is responsible for doling out his punishment. Let him go.”

| take a deep breath and pull Alessia back, releasing the aura. The man drops to

| turn in Liam’s armis, letting him calm me. “Deep breaths Angel.” He runs his fingers through my hair until | calm down.

When | turn back, Cara is ready. “Okay Cara, same thing. Try to protect Trevor while pushing your aura over this one.” He points to the other man, not even bothering to learn his name.

“Is that as strong as you can go Cara?” Ailduin asks her.

| feel the push as she puts more strength behind it and | hear Liam and Rik grunt, Trevor dropping to his knees. Her aura doesn’t impact me and it doesn’t appear to impact Clint.

“Nice Cara, but you don’t seem to be able to direct your aura. | feel it and based on the response of the others around you, it seems like they feel it as well. Is that an accurate statement?” Everyone nods.

“Now, you are Trevor’s Luna, so it is possible that his response to you is based more on that relationship, not your actual aura, so this time, I’d like to Angel try to push Trevor to his knees.” He turns and looks to Trevor. “What is your role in this pack.”

“Lead warrior.” Trevor replies getting to his feet.

Ailduin turns to Rik. “And that makes him fairly high up in your hierarchy?”

“He’s the lowest of the ranked wolves, which still puts him in the highest one percent of our pack.”

“Perfect. Angel, if you would, let’s see if you can bring both of them down.”

“We already know she can do that Ailduin. She had 20 of my wolves down at once, including my top warriors.” “Rik, how many warriors for this test?” Ailduin asks.

“Would fifty work?”

“Yes,”

Rik calls his warriors over and at first, Ailduin has Cara and | see if we can make all 50 drop. We can. Then he has me start directing my aura. He starts easy, with

“That’s enough for today Ailduin. Angel is exhausting herself.” He comes to me, lifting me up bridal style.

“Let's break for lunch, and if Angel needs to rest, we can change the direction of our tests this afternoon.” Ailduin says.
