The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0124

Mom looks up at me and back to Cara giving her a huge smile. “Oh that’s wonderful! And now that your father is training the warriors again, maybe we can get him to spend more time here as well. I’ve missed both of you.”

“I’ll see what I can do.” Cara says and waves at my father before we walk out back. It’s dusk and the night air is cooling rapidly. “Do you need a jacket? I can get one.” I start to say and then an idea hits me. “Actually, why don’t you come with me, and I’ll get you one of my sweatshirts.”

I pull her back inside and take her up the stairs to my room. She’s never been in my room. I’m pretty sure it’s mostly clean. But best of all, when I come back tonight, her scent will still linger. When we walk in, I let go of her hand and walk to my closet. “This is your room?”

I turn to see her looking around. I look at it again, thinking of what it must look like from her perspective. I’ve never really given it much consideration. It’s always been my room. I’ve updated it over the years and added some personal touches, but mostly, it’s covered with awards and trophies from school and Alpha tournaments. I’m not sure what she might find wrong with it, but I’m willing to change anything she wants when we’re mated. I don’t care what our room looks like as long as she’s happy and wants to be here with me.

I look back at her. “It’s HUGE!” She says with awe in her voice.
