The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0346

When I get to our room, he isn’t back yet, so I strip, ready to wash the sweat and cleaner of the day off of me. I pull on one of Eli’s t–shirts and crawl into bed, thinking about what needs to happen tomorrow before and after the Alpha challenge.

Just as I’m wondering if Eli is nervous about tomorrow, he walks in. I don’t have time to think any more as he makes sure to show me just how sexy he thought I was earlier, several times.

“He’s challenging you?”

“Yes, and his reasons are valid. He has the qualities that a good Alpha should have and he has Beta blood. He’s strong. If he defeats me, I will be okay with him taking over. The others, not so much.”

“How many others are there?” I ask, thinking there would only be a couple.

“Five others, including that guy Christopher that we met the first day.”
