The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper
Chapter 163

Chapter 0163

Dustin gives me an update on warrior training, patrols, and rogue attacks as we walk to my room.

I still feeling like something is crawling under my skin. The feeling has been getting worse lately. I had thought that capturing Eli would help. When it didn’t, I had hoped that beating the shit out of him and getting a confession would help. The confession hasn’t come but the beatings have done nothing to ease this feeling.

I hop in the shower as Dustin continues to update me on the pack status. When I get out, he’s looking at me and I don’t like the look in his eyes. “What?” I ask.

“You know what. You’re crashing Liam. You’re starting down the road to going feral. You need to choose a Luna and take a mate. You can’t continue this pace alone.”

“I had a Luna.” I snarl at him. “She didn’t want me.”

“Wrong.” He says. He’s the only member of my pack that is able to challenge me and get away with it. It’s because he’ll challenge me that he’s my Beta. “She chose her fated mate. If he hadn’t been her mate, you don’t know what her choice would have been. It’s been six months Liam. It’s time to start thinking about who would make a good mate for you and Luna for this pack.‘

I turn to him, slamming my fist on the bathroom counter. “You don’t think I know that? You don’t think I’ve looked? That I’ve tried to replace someone who I think is worthy to run this pack with me? I started running this pack long before I became Alpha. I know the pressure, the responsibility that comes with this job. Do you think there is a she–wolf in this pack that could handle that? Handle me?”

“What about Alpha Christopher’s daughter? She’s an alpha by blood. She’s been trained to be a Luna all her life.” He says quietly.

I look at him like he has two heads. “That meek, mild little thing? How the hell am I supposed to take someone like that to my bed? I need a partner, someone that can match me in strength, someone who is fierce, not just a Luna who orders. napkins when we run out.” I push past him, walking into my closet to get dressed.

“I’m going into the city to replace someone to stick my dick in. Someone not from our pack. Tomorrow…”

I’m cut off as the patrols mind link both Dustin and me. “Alpha, Beta. We have a breach at the border.”

“Rogues?” Dustin asks.

“Well, it’s A rogue, but you need to come.”

“Xavior, you can’t handle a single rogue on your own?”

“It’s not that Beta. Please, can one of you just come, or better yet, both of you.”

Dustin and I look at each other. “I’ll take care of it.” He says, but I’m already shaking my head.

“I’ll come.”

We head out, jogging to the border where the breach has happened. We’re almost there when the most delicious scent of raspberries and cream hits my nose. Cyran, who has been mostly quiet since Cara’s birthday, sits up in my head. Cyran?‘

He doesn’t say anything, but I can feel his interest in this rogue. As we walk to where they have the prisoner, I can see that one of my men has a woman in his arms. As soon as I see her, a vicious snarl erupts from of my chest. Cyran pushes forward taking an aggressive stance pack mate. Dustin moves in front of me. “Alpha?” He asks.

“Mate.” Cyran says before pushing past Dustin and snatching her out of Xavior’s

arms.

I look down at the small, frail girl in my arms. Her skin is so pale it’s almost opaque. Her white hair is in tangles around her face. Her face is gaunt as if she hasn’t eaten in too long. From what I can see around the jacket that is her only clothing, her body is riddled with puncture wounds.

‘Cyran, is she human?‘

I pull her closer, inhaling her scent. ‘No, she’s not human, but her wolf is silent, absent.‘

It wouldn’t matter if she was human. She’s my mate, the one the Moon Goddess made for me. I don’t care who or what she is, she’s mine now.

Her scent, her delicious scent, has immediately eased the uncomfortable feeling that has been eating at me for months. It’s like my body just remembered that it belongs inside my skin and has stopped fighting against itself. A peace that I’ve never felt before washes over me.

“Mate.” I repeat.
