The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0554

I spend a boring afternoon watching as the Alphas arrive and then move to the backyard to enjoy time by the pool.

Finally, Clint comes back to the room, just as I get out of the shower. The official cocktail party starts at 6pm, with a sit–down dinner at 7pm.

Calista and I wanted to go shopping this week, so Luna Olivia and Beta Naomi took us with Clint and Anders as our guards. Luna Olivia Informed me that, as my surrogate mother, she was responsible for buying my dress for both nights. I wanted to argue, but she wouldn’t hear it.

So, tonight. I’m wearing a royal blue midi wrap dress that has a v–neck, flutter sleeves, and a matching sash. The dress comes to my knees, and I have a pair of 3–inch silver heels to go with them. I decide to leave my hair down in its large curls and after I finish getting ready, I feel Clint come up behind me.

He pulls my hair off one shoulder, kissing the spot on my neck where I know he hopes to mark me one day very soon, sending shivers down my spine. “I will be there with you all night. If I’m not at your side, I will be close enough to get to you in less than two minutes. You will always have three warriors surrounding you, so the Alphas will know immediately that you are the Guardian. If you or Andra feel uncomfortable at any time, mind link me immediately and I’ll be there.”

I turn around, breathing in his scent and letting it calm me. “Thank you.”

“You don’t have to thank me. I have to be near Anders a lot, but I’ll be keeping an eye on you. Lyle will be on your guard duty all night and the other two will rotate depending on whether or not Patrick, Calvin or I am also on your guard. Don’t leave my sight without telling me where you’re going, even if it’s the bathroom. I know it sounds intrusive, but I’m not taking any risks with you.”

“Okay.” I say. He pulls back and looks at me, Donovan coming forward. “Andra, we need you to agree as well.” He says to her.
