The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0347

As soon as Christopher said he would take Grace as his mate, Louis and I saw red. Oh yes, this asshole is going to die. No one is taking my mate from me. No one. He’s faster than I expected, able to move at the last minute to avoid my punches. He gets a few in, but in my furious state, I hardly feel them. We’re dancing around and I realize a moment too late what he’s planning.

When he grabs Grace, threatening to mark her now, I freeze. I have no idea how remarking a Guardian when their mate is still alive will work. But I don’t care, she’s mine and he can’t have her. Louis is thrashing around in my head, wanting to rip this guy to shreds for threatening our mate.

“You’ve invalidated the Alpha challenge by pulling my mate into this.” I tell him. “Your challenge is now forfeit.”

“It doesn’t matter. No one will be able to defeat me once I’m mated to a

Guardian.” He says and I’m about to jump on him when Grace winks at me, her eyes bleeding to solid gold. Maia.

I watch, stunned, as she turns in his arms, her hand punching through his chest. I’m not sure, but it looks like she takes his heart in her hand. The look of shock on Christopher’s face is priceless and I hear a collective gasp from the pack.

“No one forces their mark on me.” Maia says, before ripping his heart out of his chest. His shocked expression remains on his face as his dead body drops to the ground. I look back up and see Maia turn to the crowd.

“Anyone else think they can use me against my mate?” She says, crushing Christopher’s heart in her hand before tossing it to the ground.

You could hear a pin drop it’s so quiet, but every pack member begins to adamantly shake their head, no.

I walk over to her, taking her in my arms. “Are you okay, love? Did he hurt you? Maia turns to me. She hasn’t given control back to Grace yet. “Only you and Louis get to sink your canines into me,”
