The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0152

Mom comes back in the kitchen and tells me that dad will be home early. It’s not 20 minutes later that he walks in the door. “There’s my birthday girl.” He says, but I can see that he looks stressed out.

“What’s this I hear about you getting your wolf? Alessia is her name?”

“Yes, and she’s perfect Dad!” I exclaim, giving him a hug.

My father’s wolf, Ward, pushes forward. “Let me meet my pup, little one.” He

says.

Alessia pushes forward and this time, I am relaxed and it goes much faster. I see Dad’s eyes widen before he reaches out pulling us to him for a hug. I hug him back, excited to have him home early to celebrate.

When I pull back, dad is looking at mom. “Alpha Peter asked to us to bring Angel by tomorrow so he can meet the newest member of his pack.” Mom is looking at dad and there is a weird, silent conversation going on.

“But!” He says, looking back at me and smiling. “I have a great idea! Why don’t we take that new camping gear you got today and go someplace really special for your shift. We can stay the night out under the stars. I bet Alessia would like that.”

I turn to my mother. “Oh, can we mom? Pleeeeeeeease?”

There is definitely a silent conversation going on. “They are mind linking. They don’t want us to hear what they are saying. Alessia says to me.
