The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0108

“Dad. Have you forgotten that I’m HIS Guardian, not the other way around? Shouldn’t you be threatening me to keep him safe?”

I can’t help my smirk. Cara can’t see it, but Clint can. He looks past me at Cara again. “First, you’re not back to full strength yet. Second, he’s taking you out as a date, not as his Guardian so he damn well better treat you with the respect and protection that he would provide any other woman on a date.” His gaze shifts back to me. “Isn’t that right, Alpha?”

“You are absolutely correct Guardian.” I use his title since he used mine. “And I will treat your daughter with the utmost care and respect this evening.”

His gaze returns to Cara. “Go get ready for training, I want to do some light strength building today.”

“Okay dad, be right there.” Cara replies.

I start to turn to say goodbye to Cara, when Clint stops me. “Rik. Why don’t you plan to start joining us for our afternoon training sessions starting Monday.‘

I think my mouth fell to the floor. “It would be my honor sir.”

He nods once before wheeling himself inside.

I’m still staring after him when I feel Cara’s finger under my chin, closing my mouth for me. She moves to stand in front of me. “Guess I’ll be seeing a whole lot more of you Alpha.”

how to handle it Dad. I can’t give her a command to stand down, and I don’t want to command her. I want a partner. I want her to stand beside me, not in front of me. I should be the one protecting her, not the other way around. That’s my job as her Alpha, as her mate. But, I think we’ll have to have a serious conversation

glad you’re already thinking about it. I don’t know that I have any advice for you. My bond with Clint made it hard enough to have him putting his life on the line for me. If it had been your mother…” He stops, shaking his head. Yeah, it’s not a comfortable thought and one that I’ll need to think about more before tonight. I want to have a plan to discuss with her.
