The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0341

After leaving Eli and Carlos, I head straight to the kitchens. There are only four people working cleaning up from breakfast and getting ready for lunch.

“Hello everyone.” I say as I walk in. They are three omegas and Maddie. “Hi Maddie. You work in the kitchens, too?” I ask.

“Yes, Luna. May I introduce you to Camila, Eleanor, and Abigail. They all go by their nicknames like me, so you can call them Cammy, Ellie and Abby.”

“Hello ladies, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Grace.” I say.

They all incline their heads and quietly say hello. I look at Maddie and I can see that this behavior is not unexpected. Well, they aren’t here because they were treated well at their last pack, and the only way they will learn that I’m different is to work with me, side by side.

Okay.” I say, clapping my hands together. I notice immediately that the three omegas jump at the sound. “First. This is a safe place. No one here will hurt you. Not me and not Alpha Eli. Okay?” I wait until all three look at me and nod their heads.

“Good. Second, you are woefully understaffed in this kitchen. We need more helpers and I plan to get you some. But before we do that, I need to know what you can do, and what you are good at. I want to make sure that we put the right people into the right positions. It won’t help us to put someone who can’t boil water in the kitchens.” I say, eliciting a laugh from everyone.

“So, Maddie, let’s start with you. What do you do in the kitchens and what are you good at? I’d also like to know what you used to do and what you want to do.” I started with Maddie intentionally. She isn’t as skittish as the omegas, and this will help them realize I don’t have any ulterior motives.

“Well, Luna, I only started in the kitchens because I was bringing in the food from the garden. I stayed when I realized they needed help. I usually clean the vegetables and prepare it for whatever is being cooked, if they know what they need. And, if I have a choice, I’d like to continue to work in the garden. I like working with my hands.” She says, shrugging.

I nod, looking at the other three. “Cammy, how about you?”
