The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0479

When I realized I’d gotten out of my date with Lucas because he was going on the hunt for the rogues, I decided to stay in and relax. The bite mark on my leg was sore and the doctor said it would take a day or two to heal completely.

I have to admit, Clint texting me and checking on me is really sweet. I had a restless night’s sleep, my leg causing me pain every time I turn over, but I smile at my text from Clint in the morning. I didn’t realize he could be this sweet, it’s nice.

‘Yes, it is.‘ My sleepy wolf says, yawning and stretching in my head.

I get ready, grab my overnight bag and meet my father downstairs. We grab some coffee before heading out. Since it’s a long drive, I close my eyes and sleep for the first couple of hours before waking up and watching the changing landscape.

When we get to the pack borders, my father gives our names, and we are allowed entrance. He seems to know exactly where he is going and we pull up to a lavish packhouse, bustling with activity. I step out of the car as a man, clearly the Alpha, steps out of the packhouse. As I watch, he looks me over from head to toe, before turning to my father.

‘That was creepy.‘ Andra says in my head. I couldn’t agree more. He didn’t even say hello.

My father comes around to get me, guiding me over to Alpha Mahli. “Alpha, it’s good to see you again. This is my daughter Lily, the one I told you about.”

I look at my father. I’m his only daughter, so who else would he be talking about.

Alpha Mahli extends his hand and I reach to shake it, but instead he pulls it to his lips, kissing the back of my hand for a full minute too long. He never takes his eyes off me, watching my reaction. I smile at him, but it’s forced.

“It’s nice to meet you.” I say. There is something creepy about him. I’m beginning to see why he hasn’t found his mate, or perhaps she chose to reject him. Either way, I don’t like the vibe I’m getting from this Alpha.

“My omegas will take your bags.” He says and two individuals scurry forward, taking our things. “I have a private breakfast being laid out for the three of us.”
