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.

I know she’ll be daddy’s little girl in no time. Donovan is just as taken with our little girl as I am. All he talks about is how he’s going to take her for runs in the forest and show her the pack lands.

Patrick and Olivia join us in the delivery room, and everyone takes turns holding our next Alpha, Lily and Olivia cooing over him. As Lily is holding him, she looks at Calista. “He’s already got his father’s dark head of hair.” I see Anders smirking at this.

“He does but wait until he looks at you. He’s got my eyes.” Calista says, smiling at her mate. Anders leans in and kisses her softly.
