The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0433

Dinner was a loud and chaotic affair. The sprites were back to their incessant back and forth chatter. I don’t know how Grace can have conversations with them and not get a headache, but my amazing mate takes on the roll of hostess and inserts herself in the conversations with the sprites. Angel and Cara seem to have the same ease interacting with the sprites. Liam on the other hand, makes me look like I have the patience of a saint. He has no tolerance for their chatter

at all. Rik falls somewhere in between us and our mates.

I watch as Aolis dotes on Lily. She’s still too young to really give him attention, but he seems to enjoy making her laugh. “Is it weird that you already know who Lily’s mate is?” I ask Rik.

He looks over at Aolis, playing with his daughter. “Right now, it’s fine. As she gets older, I know it will be harder for me and I’ll have to set serious boundaries. Here I was, worried I’d have to fight with Liam about his son messing with my little girl. Instead, I get fae royalty that is ten years

older than she is. I honestly don’t know which is worse.”

As the evening winds down, Grace makes sure that everyone is settled in their rooms. Ailduin and Aolis have been put in rooms on our floor. After making sure they also have everything they need, I pull my mate into the shower and make sure she knows exactly how amazing I think she is before I wrap myself around her in our bed and we fall to sleep.

The next morning, we wake early as Grace wants to make sure that everything is ready for breakfast. We haven’t been downstairs long when Ailduin comes in, looking a bit frazzled.

“Grace, has someone stayed in the room I’m in recently. There’s a scent…”

“Oh, Ailduin, I’m so sorry. We did have guests last week. I thought the room had been cleaned and aired properly, but I can make sure that it is cleaned again today.”

“NO!” He says sharply, before regulating his tone. “You misunderstand me. The scent, it’s intoxicating.” I watch as his eyes nearly roll back into his head. I look at Grace. I know that look. Everyone mated werewolf knows that look. That’s the look of someone that just smelled their

mate.

Summer? Who stayed in the room that we put King Ailduin in?” I can see Grace’s eyes shining.

She thinks she knows who his mate is.

Summer walks in and thinks for a moment. “Let me see, I believe that was Alpha Anastasia.”

“Thank you, Summer.” Grace says, with a shrewd look I’ve seen before. She’s planning something.

“King Ailduin. Allow me to make a phone call. I don’t want to make any assumptions, but it’s
