The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0050

He looks up into my eyes. “Let Artemis come forward.” I do as he says, letting Artemis come forward. Dean walks up to join our group and whistles. “Whoa.”

A couple of other guys who overhear us, turn in our direction and look at me. All of them had various reactions of awe. “What??” I ask impatiently.

Trevor looks at me and smiles softly, “Those jewels he got you? They match your eyes when Artemis is forward, almost perfectly. Your emerald green eyes with her light gold rimming around it. I mean…..shit, it’s nearly perfect. This guy…he’s making all of us look bad. He really likes you Cara. I don’t know who it is, but if he’s not your mate, he really wants to be.”

Dean immediately jumps in, “New betting pool. How much on the mystery man being Cara’s fated mate?” The bets start immediately.

“You morons do realize that I don’t turn 18 for a couple of months, right?”

They ignore me and continue to make their bets.

I shake my head and turn back to my father. He’s still busy chatting, so I point at his glass silently asking if he wants another one. He nods yes and I head to the bar. I could use a drink too.

I order a scotch on the rocks for dad and a glass of red wine for me. I’m looking around the room, watching the harem cluster around Rik wishing him happy birthday. I’m not sure there is one whole outfit among the flock. One girl looks like she’s wearing a red dress meant for a child, not a grown woman.

Shaking my head, I turn back to grab my drinks when I feel heat at my back and a familiar voice whispers in my ear, “Should I be concerned that you are here getting two drinks?”

I turn to face him, “Alpha Liam.” I smile up at him. “How wonderful to see you again.”
