The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0058

I see fear in his eyes for a moment before it turns to something else. Desire, lust, whatever that look is, it makes my stomach turn.

“Well, I will admit, I had high hopes for you Guardian, but you are already exceeding my expectations.” He says with hunger in his voice as his eyes darken.

“Oh, you have no idea what misery you’ve just brought upon yourself and your band of rogues.” I state as I let my guardian aura out, full force. The wolves surrounding me fall to the ground, submitting to me immediately, some yelping and whining on the ground. Four others fall out of the trees, their dart guns landing beside them. I watch as the leader struggles to not submit as I focus my aura on him. Even Rik is sweating at my power.

“Enough!” He yells and digs the tip of the knife into Rik’s neck, drawing blood.” Drop the aura or I drop your alpha.”

“You kill my alpha, and I no longer have a reason to keep you alive.” I retort, but I let my aura drop.

The wolves around me are panting and sweating, some still writhing in pain. I look back at the leader. “I know who you are. You’re the Banished Beta, Eli Gunner.”

He nods his head in acknowledgement of my assessment. “Close, I’m an Alpha now.”

I snort and lift my nose in the air. “You don’t smell like an Alpha, you smell like a Beta. Just because you give yourself a title doesn’t mean it’s yours.”

He snarls at me and the knife slides closer to Rik’s neck again. “I’ll remind you that if you spill anymore of my Alpha’s blood that your life is forfeit, Beta.” I stress the title.

I start pacing, following Artemis’s path in my head. She wants blood, she wants to kill these wolves and get Rik back to safety. “So,” I ask, “what does a self- proclaimed Alpha want with my Alpha?”
