The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0032

Anders‘ aura recedes and he relaxes. “You’re right, of course, old friend. I am happy that all it cost me was one night of training”

I breathed a sigh of relief that was short lived when he turned his focus back to me. “So, Cara, why is it, especially after that display today, that you don’t think it’s my son sending those gifts to you?”

I shifted my feet, looking anywhere but at Alpha Anders. I didn’t want to admit to him how much it hurt that his son doesn’t know who I am, and most likely who my mother and father are. And I didn’t want Anders telling his son because he knows how insulted I am. Rik should have known for years who I am.

He gives me a long, hard look before my father jumps to my rescue. “Anders, why don’t you give me a hand with these steaks.” He hands the plate of steaks to Anders until he finally looks away from me to my father. “Sure thing, Clint.”

Over dinner, Dad asks about the rogue issue. Anders begins telling us of the significant rise in rogue attacks over the last several months. Dad mentions that he has noticed the increase in patrols, but didn’t realize that our borders had also been breached on occasion. They discussed what Dad and I can do to assist. “You know what I want Clint.”

That will be a big problem if Cara ends up being his mate but she chooses Liam instead. Not only will it weaken Rik and Kai, it will weaken the pack. And, it would make Liam’s pack the largest and the strongest. And if that offense causes a rift between our packs, it can only mean bad things for Canyon. Ridge.
