The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0480

I turn and look at Alpha Mahli and try to swallow the food around the lump in my throat. I definitely have a bad feeling about this.

After breakfast, Alpha Mahli gives me a tour of the packhouse, including his personal bedroom. Gross. It’s just as dark as the rest of the packhouse. I also realize that he has put me on the Alpha floor across from his room. Yeah, I’ll be locking my door tonight.

Then, he gives me a tour of the pack lands. I realize that he’s taking every opportunity to touch me possible, finding reasons to put his hand on my back to guide‘ me, or sliding his hand across my back when he goes to point at

something. The hairs on the back on my neck are standing on end and all I want to do is get away from this guy.

I do find out that he’s been an Alpha for nearly 15 years and his fated mate died. I try to consider that maybe that’s why he’s so awkward and why he likes the dark, but I can’t reconcile it in my mind.

Finally, he drops me off at my room, telling me he needs to do some work and that dinner will be in two hours. I wait until I hear his footsteps walk away before locking the door. The first thing I do is open the blinds, letting sunshine in. Then I find my bag and grab my phone. I send Clint a text, hoping that I’ll hear back, but doubting that it will happen. I know they are out hunting and fighting rogues. I feel like I need a tether to my real life to combat the eerie feeling I have about what’s happening here.

When I don’t get a response, I decide to take a shower and lay down for a while. I doze off and am awakened to the sounds a metal scraping on metal. I turn and see that Alpha Mahli has used a key to unlock my door and is walking into the

room.
