The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0040

When I met with Ailduin, it was in his study. It was there I saw the book. I thought it odd at the time that he had a book about the history of the werewolf guardians, but I didn’t think much of it as I had other, more important matters to worry about, such as making sure our pack members were okay. Ailduin told me that he was in my debt. Honestly, I never expected to request the return favor. I didn’t do it to have something to leverage against his family, I did it because it was the right thing to do. Aolis was only 5 years old at the time.

Afterward, when I had time to think about it, I started searching for a copy of the book, thinking it would be good to have. After searching for almost a year and finding nothing, I approached my father about it. That is when I learned that there is only one book like it in existence, written by the Guardians, for the Guardians. I’m still unsure how Ailduin’s ancestors got a copy, but now it’s where it should be, in the hands of a werewolf guardian.

I watch as Cara once again asks about a card. There Ailduin was going to act as a “delivery boy” for me. I was lucky to get him to deliver the book. The only reason he did is because it is so valuable, he would never trust it to just anyone. And I had to promise him that it was going to a Guardian, the true keepers of the book.

But, I do agree with him, the book speaks for itself. No card needed. When he announces to me that the debt is paid, I very softly agree with him, knowing the hearing of the Fae King is better than most wolves.

I watch the shock that plays across Cara’s face as she unwraps the gift. She knows exactly what it is and how precious it is. Her quiet ‘thank you‘ has Kai purring in my head. The gift is perfect.
