The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0344

“I never wanted to be the Beta. I knew that position was meant for my brother. Unfortunately, I was stronger and faster than my brother in most ways and it made him jealous, concerned that I would take his position in the pack. I got tired of fighting with my brother about it, worrying what he would do next to try to undermine me. When he made up rumors about me wanting to take his position and went to the new Alpha with his claim, the Alpha gave me two choices fight of the position or leave the pack. I chose to leave.”

He looks at me and shrugs again. “As I said, I didn’t want the position.”

–

“But now you want to be Alpha?” I question. A Beta position is a lot of work, but an Alpha position is even harder if it’s done right.

“I want this pack to thrive. And no offense to you Beta, but with no leader that has a wolf, I’ve felt that the pack has been lacking a true leader. Too many people are depending on this pack’s survival, too many need this to survive themselves. I don’t believe that everyone that wants the Alpha position deserves it, so I decided to throw my hand in as well.”

“Caring about your pack members is another great quality for a ranked member, Noah. You seem to have many qualities that make you a good candidate for Alpha.”

“Thank you, I appreciate that.” He says as we arrive at the back of the packhouse.

We drop the carcasses at the door and I step inside to let Grace know we have food. Carlos and Noah follow me and all three of us groan at the smells coming from the kitchen. It smells divine.

“Grace.” I call out to her as we walk to the kitchen. I watch as she comes around the side of the kitchen, looking perfectly mussed. She’s been working while we were gone. Her hair is in disarray and she has something smudged on her cheek. My need to touch her overwhelms me and I move to her, taking her in my arms.

She takes a whiff. “Phew, you smell like the hunt and death. Does this mean we have more meat?”

“You smell like bleach and fabric softener, so I guess we’re even.” I tell her, stealing another kiss.
