The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0031

About an hour later, I hear Alpha Anders knock on the front door. My dad gives me a look and starts wheeling out back to light up the grill. I roll my eyes and head to the front door.

“Good evening Anders. How are you doing today?”

“Good evening Cara. I’m well, how about you?”

“Doing well, thank you. Please come in. Dad is out back getting the grill fired up.”

He hands me tonight’s dessert, it smells like chocolate cheesecake, yum; and a six -pack of beer, pulling two out on his way to go see my father.

I put the dessert in the fridge after ensuring that it was indeed cheesecake. Dad is putting baked potatoes on the grill, so I’m only responsible for vegetables tonight. I’ve opted for a broccoli and cheese casserole. I figured that would go nicely on its own, or over the potatoes.

Dad and Anders walk back in and Anders sees my gift basket sitting on the island

in the kitchen.

“What do we have here?” He asks. Looking at me he says, “Let me guess, this is a gift from the mystery man I’ve been hearing so much about.”
