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. I’d like to be aggravated about it, but since it’s not a bad thing, I know that if I had the power, the entire world would have shifted when I mated with Grace, I can’t really say

anything.

As everyone is adjusting to the fact that happy fae royalty means a plush landscape, Alpha Christopher comes out of the forest, looking a bit worse for wear. His hair is going in all different directions, he has pieces of what I think are twigs in his hair and on his clothes.

But that- that was…something else.”

“Alpha Christopher.” Grace says to him, trying to get his attention. “Perhaps you want to shower and maybe change your clothes before dinner. We’ll be eating in about 30 minutes.” My tactful.

mate says.

Liam, however, isn’t nearly so tactful. “You’re a fucking mess Alpha. Get upstairs and wash off whatever that sprite did to you.”

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.”
