The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0466

YES! Success! Lily finally agreed to go out with me, but now I need to convince Anders to let me spar with her and I have to tell him why Calista won’t go out with him. I’ve never hated my reputation as much as I do right now.

I wait until I see Lily grab her clothes and walk into her house before jogging back to the packhouse. It’s dinner time and 1 divert up to my room to take a quick shower before heading down to the main dining hall where most of the pack house eats as well as many other pack members that come here after training.

I find Anders sitting with his parents and the Beta family. Charles is Calvin’s son and has been training to be Anders Beta since I got my Guardian spirit at 10. He’ll make a good Beta for Anders.

I grab some food and take a seat across from Anders, saying hello to everyone at the table.

“So, how’d it go?” He asks me, referencing my escape from Jules.

“Actually, it went well. Andra was out running, and it gave me an opportunity to finally get Lily to agree to go out with me.

“Congratulations! That’s great man. You’d better plan something special.”

He’s right. I need to make this date memorable, so she’ll know I’m serious and go out with me again.

“I have a favor to ask.” I say, knowing I’ll have to give him something in return, but I already have that up my sleeve.

His eyes narrow at me. “What favor?”

“Your dad has you set to spar with Lily tomorrow and I want to switch with you.” I tell him. As expected, he smirks at me.

“And what do I get in return?”

I lean forward, motioning for him to sit forward. He does and so does Charles. “I know why Calista won’t go out with you.” I tell him.

“Deal!” He says immediately. “Now spill.”
