The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0552

While I’m thrilled that I get to move in with Lily, and don’t think I won’t push to keep it that way, I’d rather things stay as–is and know that she’s safe. Since that’s not an option, the next best thing I can do is help her get stronger while protecting her.

When we leave Alpha Patrick’s office, I walk her to her room. “What would your preference be, Lily bud? Do you want to move to my room, or have me move in here with you?”

She opens her door, looking around. “This isn’t really my room. It’s been a sort of stopping point since leaving my home. I have no connection to it, unlike you who has lived in your room years.”

I shrug. Any place will feel like home if she’s there with me. “I want you to be comfortable. I will be comfortable because you are there.” I say, pulling her into a hug. I know tonight has been nerve- wracking for her. Her fear was palpable and all of us could smell it earlier. As angry as I am about having so many Alphas in our territory coming after my mate, I had to suppress it to help her calm down.

Anders‘ comment about the bloody birthday was aimed at me. He knows I’m a hot–head and that I won’t hesitate to get into a fight if it means keeping Lily safe. But this is also a political event, by werewolf standards. Anders‘ birthday is a chance for other Alphas to get to know him before he becomes an official Alpha. This is a chance to strengthen alliances and make new ones. Not every Alpha will be after
