The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0125

Last night when Rik dropped me off after professing his love for me, I thought I’d have a really hard time getting to sleep. I had worried when he’d mentioned his room needing to be big enough for his Luna. It had reminded me that it might not be me. And it made my heart hurt to think of another woman in his room, smelling his delicious scent, having him to herself. But when he told me he loved me, it made me think, maybe all these feelings that I’m having, that Artemis is having, are because WE are his mate. The thought had me falling asleep with a contented smile on my face.

I wake on Sunday feeling refreshed. Turns out, sleeping in Rik’s hoodie and having his scent surrounding me, helped me get the best sleep I’ve had in a long time. Artemis is feeling stronger as well and is ready to shift. Rik agreed to come with us and wait while I shifted in case it takes longer than normal or is painful. Dad has me swim laps today. While that doesn’t sound difficult, two hours of back and forth in the pool has my muscles screaming. After a hot shower and breakfast, I’m ready to let Artemis out.

I walk out back headed to the forest, just as I see Rik jogging up. “Hey beautiful.‘ He jogs right up to me and kisses me good morning. I don’t hesitate. I wrap my arms around him and lean into the kiss, running my fingers through his hair. My body tingles all over from the contact and I feel him getting hard before he pulls

away.

“Little Guardian, unless you want me pleasuring you until you are screaming my name right here, we’d better stop. “I smile at him and step away. As tempting as it is and even if I was ready for that, Artemis would never wait that long. She was ready to run with Kai.
