The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0025

After dinner with the pack, I go to my dad’s office. The door is slightly ajar and I knock before pushing it open to walk in. I stop when I see my mom sitting in dad’s lap, and he’s practically checking her tonsils with his tongue.

“Seriously, can you not wait until you’re in the privacy of your own room for that?”

My mom hops out of my dad’s lap while her cheeks turn pink. They turn red when my dad smacks her ass. She turns to frown at him, but I can see her lips twitching up into a smile.

Turning back to me she says, “One day, hopefully soon, you’ll understand the pull of the mate bond Rik.” and she taps my cheek on her way out of the room. She closes the door behind her leaving me alone with my father.

He watches my mother leave until the door closes and he can’t see her any longer. Then he turns his attention to me. “What can I do for you son?”

I take a seat and cross one ankle over the opposite knee. “I want to go with you to the Nelson’s home for dinner tomorrow.” I’m pleading my case again. But this time, there is an ulterior motive. I want some alone time with Cara.
