The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0600

Time moves differently in this place. At first, it moved slowly. I spent a lot of time with Cara and Clint as they were hurting so much. Most nights, I would sleep beside Clint. But if I heard Cara crying. I’d go lay down with her. Sometimes I would spend time with Calista who holds a lot of quilt for my death. No matter how many times Anders tells her it wasn’t her fault, she still blames herself.

I listen to my daughter when she calls Liam, crying on the phone, or telling him something funny that happened at school. She’s afraid to tell her father, although he usually already knows. But she doesn’t want to upset him because she is finding small moments of happiness. Liam is always a good friend to her, supporting her and validating her feelings. I’m not sure I realized how important it was for him to have me, until I watch how valuable having him is to Cara.

I watch as Clint slowly begins to live again. I like sitting with him at my memorial. It’s like he’s really talking to me. Andra really likes the memorial, too. She goes and lays on it when Clint is there, almost like she’s watching over the pack with me. And I guess she is. She and I have developed a language of sorts. We shared headspace together long enough that we both usually know what the other is thinking but we have found ways to communicate when we don’t.

I watch my beautiful daughter grow. And on her 10th birthday. I’m there to see her get her wolf. The party had been wonderful, Calista had planned the party at Clint and Cara’s house. She invited Cara’s friends
