The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0587

A week after we laid Luna Estella to rest, Calista gave birth to their son, Rik. Anders and Calista allowed Lily and I to be there immediately after the birth. Lily went straight to Calista, hugging her while she laid on the bed, holding her child. I gave Anders a slap in the shoulder and hugged my dearest friend.

I am to meet our pup, and since he can’t spend time with Andra, this helps him to feel better. I’ve noticed that our daughter responds to our touch and Donovan’s purring. So, every night, Donovan comes forward, purring to our daughter and then when she settles, I talk to her. I tell her about my day. about how wonderful her mother is
