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.
