The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0474

I probably shouldn’t have laughed so much at Clint. But here he is, this Guardian of Alphas, looking like a big tomato. He did seem very sincere when he said he wanted my forgiveness. I’m finding it harder and harder to resist him. Yesterday at training, I thought we would train together again, but my father pulled me in as his training partner and Clint didn’t fight it. Then afterward, my father forbid me from letting Andra train.

This morning, however, my father couldn’t find a way to keep me away from driving with Clint and Anders without making it obvious to our future Alpha that he was trying to keep me away from Clint. Something is off with my dad. I’m not sure what’s going on, but his response to me seeing Clint is excessive and not in line with other times that I’ve been asked out on dates. Even more strange, my father is going to visit another Alpha over the weekend and he’s insisting that I go. I told him I had plans Friday night, so we’re going Saturday and coming back early on Sunday.

I don’t see Clint the rest of the day. I’m guessing he went home to shower and change. When I get to training, I see him. He’s talking to Alpha Patrick, whose lips are twitching. Clint is still a shade of red that makes it look like he’s got the world’s worst sun burn. My dad calls me over at the same moment that Alpha Patrick looks up and sees me. “Lily, you’re with Clint today.”

I look at my dad and see him grinding his teeth, but there’s nothing he can do about it and it’s not like anything is going to happen on the training field. I turn and walk over to Clint. He’s watching my father’s reaction and his fists are clenched and his eyes are narrowed.

“Clint.” I say, putting my hand on his arm. I wait until he looks at me. “Ready for an ass whooping?” I say, hoping it will pull him out of his anger at my father’s

resistance to him.

He laughs outright. “Let’s go Lily bud.”

We move away from the rest of the group again and he takes a defensive stance. Let’s see what you remember from the other day.”

I get into position. “You know, I’m having a hard time taking you seriously when you look like you forgot to put sunscreen on before laying at the beach all day.”
