The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0502

Fuck! I hadn’t meant to scare her. I hadn’t meant to lose control and kiss her like that. But, as soon as I tasted the delicious orange and ginger flavor of her lips, I was lost. And then, when she moaned, holding on to me as if I was her lifeline, I wanted nothing more than to take her, claim her as my mate, leave my mark on her neck so everyone will know she’s mine.

‘At least she’ll smell like us for another day or two.‘ Donovan says.

‘Not helpful if she won’t talk to us.‘ I retort.

‘She will. She wants to train and be stronger.”

‘I want to spend time with her doing things other than training.”

‘Isn’t that what got us into this mess in the first place?‘ My snarky wolf says.

I grab my shorts and quickly put them on, picking up Lily’s clothes as well, I jog back to the packhouse, sneaking in the omega entrance, before rushing upstairs, hoping no one sees me. I get to my room, setting Lily’s clothes on a chair before taking a quick shower. I get dressed hurriedly before rushing down to dinner. I had forgotten that Calista was joining us for dinner tonight and when I get there, Lily hasn’t shown up yet. Shit!

“Clint, where is Lily? I thought the two of you would get here at the same time.” Patrick says, looking at me more intently than I want at the moment. The man is too observant.

“I’m right here.” Lily says. She breezes past me and sits down next to Calista. ” Sorry I’m late.”

I sit across from Anders, next to Calvin. Anders looks at me.

“What happened?” He mind links me.

“Later.” I reply.

Olivia and Naomi have started chatting easily with Lily and Calista. I can see Anders is trying to discreetly listen in and still pay attention to our conversation.

“So Lily, Calvin says you did well today sparring against him.” Patrick says, getting Lily’s attention.

“Thank you.” She says.

“I guess the training that Clint is giving you is really working.” Damn the man. He’s fishing for a response and Lily gives him one. She blushes a beautiful shade
