The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0436

Well, I guess we can all assume that Ailduin and Anastasia have completed their mate bond. I’m not sure what else could make a man happy enough to cause this sort of change in the environment.

Alpha Christopher looks like he’s coming out of a trance. He looks down at himself suddenly realizing what a state of disarray he’s in. “Great idea. Perhaps you can show me which room is mine, Luna Grace.”
