The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0578

The next morning is chaotic. Lily and I took charge of the situation once Alpha Eric found his mate. While

I understood that he just wanted to take her somewhere private and mark and mate her, he was recovering from wollsbane, and she was needed to provide medical attention as people woke.

We began pulling all of Benjamin’s dead pack members outside, away from the packhouse. More carefully, we began collecting and laying Alpha Leander’s dead inside the packhouse. We covered them with blankets that the omegas brought to us. As people woke, they began looking for their loved ones. Many fell the severed bond when they woke.

woke up in our bedroom, barricaded in. After checking their mates and baby Liam, they moved the

barricades and came rushing down the stairs.

Leander took charge of the situation, sending pack members as they woke to see the medical personnel. Lily reported what she had gathered about the dead and those impacted by the wolfsbane. When Alpha Christopher woke, his concern for his human mate and her fetus had him heading home to be treated by

his medical team.
