The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0037

Dad and I head back inside to prepare for Alpha Liam’s arrival. While dad wheels. to his room to get a shower, I begin to make a bread pudding with bourbon sauce, which should go nicely with coffee after a hard workout and dinner. Does bread pudding pair nicely with bear? Not a clue, but I’ll find out. Once the bread pudding is in the oven, I start grating potatoes and cheese to make an au gratin. I find some spinach in the fridge and decide on sauteed spinach with onions and garlic to finish off our meal. I can wait to start that until dad has the bear meat started.

I head upstairs to change into my workout clothes. As I am heading downstairs, there is a knock at the door. I can smell Liam’s scent before I open the door. He smells of the forest after the rain, fresh and clean and wild.

I open the door and I’m surprised to see that he has a bouquet of wildflowers in one hand and not surprised to see a giant cooler in the other being balanced in his hand against his shoulder. I quickly grab the flowers from him so he can focus on the cooler. I step aside to let him in and he leans down to place a gentle kiss on my lips as he passes by on his way to the kitchen.

I’m sniffing the flowers as I follow him into the kitchen. “Where in the world did you find flowers in late January?”

He turns to me with a smile. “They are called Winter Aconite and they grow wild in my territory. Every time I see them, the beautiful yellow color reminds me of Artemis’s eyes.” At that, Artemis pushes forward to show off the color of her eyes. Liam steps closer to me, putting his hands on my hips, his eyes darkening with Cyran pushing forward. “There they are, those beautiful eyes that I love.”

Before things can go any further, I hear dad wheeling into the living room. Alpha Liam I presume.”
