The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0359

The rest of the day goes by, and I’m exhausted by the time I head back to our room. Carios found the carpenter and asked him to build a crib. Apparently, the carpenter was so excited he said he’d build him a bassinet as well. I was happy to see him being more affectionate with Amber at dinner and watched as Grace. introduced her to Victoria, getting her set up to see the gardens while we are away.

When I get to our room, I see that Grace has packed a bag. I begin looking for my backpack before spotting it on the bed, looking like it’s already packed. “Did you pack my bag as well?” I ask her.

“I did, I hope that’s okay. You looked tired at dinner, and I wanted you to be able to come up and relax. You’re still recovering from yesterday. Why don’t you go take a shower while I finish up.” She says, pulling some clothes out of the closet.

I walk up behind her and wrap my arms around her. “Why don’t you join me in the shower and then we can curl up and go to sleep.” I tell her.

“Why Alpha, are you trying to get me naked and wet?” She asks, coyly. I growl, deep in my chest, pushing against her.

“I am now.” I say, pulling her into the bathroom. “We did discuss trying new positions and seeing which ones are your favorite. I’d be remiss if we didn’t at least try shower sex.” I tell her, before stripping off her clothes.

Later, I’m curled up around my naked mate in bed, enjoying her warmth. “We’ll have to do that again soon, Alpha.” She says sleepily.

“Grace.” I saw warningly. She knows what calling me Alpha does to me.

She chuckles, her body shaking in my arms. “Goodnight Eli.” It’s quiet for a moment. “I love you.” She says softly.

“I love you too my little Alpha.” I tell her and we both drift off to sleep. The next morning, we wake up early. As we head down to grab breakfast, I call Rik and let him know we’ll be leaving shortly. We’re running since it’s faster to get to his pack lands through the canyon instead of driving around it. And since neither Grace nor I have a car or know how to drive, we aren’t taking anyone away from the pack that may need to be here to help cover for those that are still recovering from the hunter attack.

At breakfast, we meet up with Trevor and Maddison. She will have to come back for her things, but Trevor will bring her in his car. When we’re ready, we all go out to the forest and strip, collecting our clothes before shifting and grabbing our

bags. The run is nearly two hours, but as we begin to run through the canyon, Maia stops short, looking around.
