The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0102

Overnight, I tossed and turned, thinking of Rik’s question. I really want to say yes. I want to get to know him. It’s a risk, if we begin dating. If he’s not my mate, it may cause issues with my mate in the future. But, as of now, I will be his

Guardian. Getting to know him is important. And I’ll make sure to maintain my boundaries.

I finally fall asleep early in the morning but wake at my normal time. It’s time for me to get back to training. I know my father will not agree, and possibly Rik won’t either. But I can’t continue to sit around.
