The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0044

At the risk of being a stalker, I have no intention of leaving as I watch Liam and Cara head inside. I shift back so I can hide more easily. I need to know how far Liam is willing to go, and how far Cara will let him go.

I listen as they discuss the bear meat and my fists clench when Mr. Nelson tells Liam to call him Clint. It seems Liam also has a better relationship with Cara’s father than I do.

When they go outside to grill the steaks, Liam thanks Mr. Nelson again for the training today. They chat about the training facility that Mr. Nelson has created and discuss different ways of training.

When they go back inside, it finally gets good again. Mr. Nelson begins interrogating Liam about his intentions. I’ll admit, Liam’s response is admirable. He seems to really care about Cara. And he apparently thinks they will be fated mates.

Kai growls in my head, and I don’t blame him. There’s no way that he can be her mate if she is our mate. Liam is old enough to feel the pull to his mate, but I feel a pull too. Could it be that one of us is really feeling the pull to her as a Guardian, rather than a mate? What if neither of us is her mate?

I’m happy to hear that Cara is waiting for her mate. That gives me hope that her relationship with Liam is only so strong. If we are fated mates, as I believe, she won’t reject us for him. I was also happy to hear Mr. Nelson deny Liam’s request to train his warriors. I scoff. As if he’d train Liam’s pack when he refuses to train. his own. Although, he agrees to reconsider if Liam is Cara’s mate. Another reason to make sure that she’s MY mate.

When I hear Liam ask Cara to walk him to his car, I move around the house so I can continue to eavesdrop on their conversation. It’s all I can do not to snarl out loud when he kisses her. Kai is thrashing around in my head, ready to fight Liam and Cyran for Cara again. Holding Kai off is taking all of my strength and concentration.

I hear him tell her that he wants to watch her cum. My body is shaking and fur starts sprouting on my body. I lose the

back to the packhouse and without bothering to shift, I go up to my room, shifting right as I get to my door. I can smell the faint scent of rosewater and I vaguely wonder what Sheila was doing on my floor. I unlock my door and grab a pair of shorts and a t–shirt. While it’s still winter, wolves
