The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

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

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.

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.
