The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0498

As Calista collects herself, she looks from Lily to me. “This is why. This is why you are spending so much time together.”

“Yes.” Lily says to her.

I move to Lily, standing beside her. “I’m going to be training Lily and making sure that she is safe. But you know what this means, Calista, especially in light of what we know about her father.”

Her eyes go from me to Lily. “You must have been terrified this weekend.”

Lily takes a step toward Calista, just as the door swings open. I move to block Lily from whoever is walking in as Andra is still shining in her eyes.

“I thought I was clear about the door staying open.” Patrick says, walking in.

“I’m sorry Alpha, it’s my fault.” Lily says, not turning around. “I needed to show Calista something private.” She turns, showing Andra in her eyes.

Patrick turns, closing the door. “Calista, this is a lot of information and it’s dangerous for Lily if this information gets out. I expect that what she has shown you here will stay in this room.” He says, using his Alpha tone.

“Cali knows how to keep a secret, dad, and she’s a good friend. She wouldn’t do that to Lily.” Anders jumps to her defense.

Patrick looks at all of us in the room. “I would suggest that this conversation not include anyone else in the pack. At least not until I have figured out how to keep Lily safe once the secret is out.”
