The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0567

Me: Sure. Should I come to the house?

Mom: Actually, I don’t want your father to know. Could you meet me behind the lake?

So, I won’t be having a relationship with my mother, at least not while my father forbids it. I’m sad, but glad that she’s at least willing to recognize me on my birthday. Maybe I can at least get a hug from her.

Me: Sure. What time?

Mom: Your party is in a couple of hours, so how about now?

I turn and look at Clint still sleeping behind me. Maybe he won’t notice that I’m gone.

Me: Sure mom, I’ll be there in about 20 minutes.

I slide out of bed, pulling my pillow down and smiling as Clint wraps himself around it. I put on a pair of shorts and one of Clint’s shirts, tying it at the waist so it doesn’t hang down too long. I grab my shoes and slip out the door, closing it quietly so it doesn’t wake him.

As I head out, I run my fingers through my hair, finger combing it as I head out to the lake. I wave at a couple of people and when I get to the lake, I can’t help but smile at the spot where Clint and I completed our mate bond early this morning.

I walk around to the back side of the lake, looking around for my mother.
