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.”

Monday, you’ll be spending more time than just training with me. Now get going and be ready by six. I can’t wait to have you all to
