The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0349

First, I can’t provide for Grace, now she’s providing for the pack because I can’t. I have to be the most incompetent Alpha on the planet. Thankfully, she has faith in me, but it means that I need to speak to Rik and Liam sooner rather than later. Now that the Alpha challenge is done, I will call and set up a time to meet with

them.

I go to the dining hall and meet with the new individuals that want to be put into the patrol rotation. I pulled one of the patrol leaders into the meetings so he could discuss the current structure of the patrols. I realize I need to run patrols. with the team so I can see how it flows and where our weaknesses are in the borders. I would have already done it but mating with Grace took precedence and being newly mated, it’s hard being away from her for long periods of time.

We’re nearly done when I hear a howl go up. The patrol leader lifts his head, listening. “There’s someone at the border, Alpha. Would you like to go see who it is?”

“Yes, let’s go.”

We take off, headed in the direction of the howl. “How do you know it’s not an attack?” I ask, since we’re jogging at a steady pace, rather than shifting.

“Different howls. It will be great when we have a pack link. We’ve learned to communicate in wolf form, but it’s much easier with a link.”

When we jog up, I see a woman, and what looks like a baby in her arms, kneeling on the ground. One of the patrols is squatting down next to her. “Alpha. This is Amber and her child.”

She looks up at me. “You’re the Alpha here?” Her face is bruised, and I can smell

blood on her.

“Yes.” I say, walking closer and bending down in front of her. “You’re safe now.”

She throws herself into my arms and sobs. I hold her until she gathers herself.

“Can you walk?” I ask her.

“Yes.”
