The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0386

Eli and I went to our room early. This weekend, while taxing emotionally, has been good for us. It’s the most time we’ve been able to spend together in weeks and when we return to our pack, we’ll have to get right back to long, tiring days.

I keep my promise from earlier and finish what I started. It feels good to reconnect with my mate, to be able to shut out the world and let it just be him and me for a couple of hours.

The next morning, we both wake feeling refreshed and reconnected. We join everyone downstairs for breakfast before starting to work on pooling our

Guardian strengths.

Rik wasn’t happy about having Cara participate, so Ailduin had me and Angel work together.

“Angel, since you’ve done this with Cara, let’s see if you can direct Grace’s power as well.”

Angel walks up to me, taking my hand. “Ready?”

I nod, looking at Rik’s warriors that volunteered to be part of our experiment. Ailduin tells us to start with half of the warriors being protected by Angel and the other half getting my aura.

“I want you to push out like you did with Trevor to start. Let Angel feel your aura, let her manipulate it then push it out slowly like you did before.”

I do, and it’s a strange feeling letting Angel control my aura, almost like it’s being molded like clay. Ailduin has us move around, picking and choosing

individuals here and there to be protected, working Angel’s gift at the same time

as mine.
