The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0491

As Lily closes the door, I immediately hear her sniffles and soft sobs. I clench my fists and go in search of Patrick. I’m furious that they didn’t throw her father in the cells or at least make sure he returned home.

I find him in his office. I walk in without knocking. He looks up and when he sees it’s me, he sits back in his chair, folding his hands together on his desk.

“Clint? Something on your mind?”

I should sit down, but my temper won’t let me settle. “I took Lily for a run tonight to get her out after everything that happened.” I look up to see if he’s going to make some smart comment, but he remains quiet, watching me.

“Her father was laying in wait for us when we returned.” That got his attention. He sits up, leaning forward.

“Where?”

“Outside the packhouse. Called her slut, ungrateful and basically blamed her for everything. Then he said something about it all being a misunderstanding and Lily will be moving back home when it’s figured out.” I turn to look at him, my anger flashing hot. “I thought you were going to punish him, not let him harass his daughter and lie about what is really going on.”

Patrick sighs. “Have a seat, Clint.”

“I’ll stand.”

“It wasn’t a suggestion.” He says and stares me down until I sit. I may be stronger than he is, but he’s still my Alpha.
