The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper
Chapter 427

Chapter 0427

By the end of the week, everyone seemed to have settled into their new roles. All of the omegas were medically cleared and positions within the pack were found for them. I met with Cammy after the Lead Omega in the kitchen at my father’s pack asked if she could split shifts with her.

“Cammy, I wanted to talk to you about Melinda’s request to split shifts. I don’t want you to feel like I’m undermining you or your role, but I was thinking that it would be good for you to have

more time in your day.” I say when we meet in my office.

“Actually Luna, I had wanted to talk with you about something else and this is the perfect time. I know that many people in the pack are getting the opportunity to open a business and I wanted to

talk to you about the possibility of me doing that as well.”

“What kind of business are you thinking of starting, Cammy?

“Well, Luna, I’ve always wanted to open my own diner. I’m good at managing the kitchens and I know how to schedule staff. I’ve been playing around with some new menu ideas, but I would

need someone to help me manage the business side of things.”

“Cammy. I think that’s a great idea! Everyone loves the food you make now, and I just know you

would do well with a diner.”

“Really?”

“Absolutely! What do you need to get started? Do you have someone that can help you run the business?”

“Well, no. I wasn’t sure you would agree to me opening the diner, but now I’ll have to replace

someone to help me. Unless you have any ideas?”

I look at her a moment, thinking. It’s been months. In the beginning. I kept in touch with Benny at least weekly, but things had gotten so hectic, that I hadn’t spoken to him in way too long. When I last spoke to him, he was thinking of selling his diner and retiring. So, he might be willing to come out of retirement and move to the pack lands. I’d have to talk to Eli about it. It would mean we’d have to tell him about us, but Benny is an older, single man. He has no family and he doesn’t have anything to lose by moving here. He’s never been one to gossip or tell someone’s secrets, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

“I may have someone that can help you with that, but I need to talk to a few people first. How about, for now, we go see Alpha Eli and put your name on the list of a storefront. That will give you some time to start planning and give me time to see if the person I have in mind will work out.”

We walk to Eli’s office and he’s just as encouraging about her opening a diner as I am. He puts her on the list, telling her it will be about 3 months before her diner could be completed. When she leaves. I bring up my thought about Benny.

“Call him. See if he’s agreeable. If he’s willing to move here, we’ll deal with how to tell him.”

“Thank you, Alpha.” I say, winking at him before sashaying my hips out his door, eliciting a low rumbling growl from my mate.

“Later, Little Alpha.” He mind links me, before sending me an explicit image of what he plans to do to me. It’s so specific that heat goes straight to my core, causing my panties to go damp.

“Keep it up, Alpha and the entire packhouse will know that you’re turning me on.” I reply through the mind link.

“Come back in here and I’ll take care of that for you.” He growls through the mind link. It’s been too long and he’s got my body aching, so I turn, walking back into his office and locking the door. I thank the goddess for dresses when he has me up against the wall and is sliding inside me less

than a minute later.

Twenty minutes later, I’m feeling much more relaxed as I call Benny.

“Hello.”

“Hey Benny, it’s Grace.”

“Grace! I’ve been worrying about you. How are you?”

“I’m good. Things have been crazy. How’s retirement?”

“Boring as shit! I don’t know why I ever thought I wanted to retire.”

I smile. I knew he’d hate it. He’s too use to being a busybody.

“Well, what would you say to coming out of retirement?”

“I’m listening.”

—

“Well, I have a friend that is thinking of opening a diner. She’s got the food part down but

doesn’t know anything about running a business. I thought maybe, if you were bored–

“When do you want me there? And where is there?”

I talk to Benny for a few more minutes before agreeing to meet with him in a couple of weeks.

Later than night, Alpha Christopher arrives with his daughter and several other pack members for

the mate gathering tomorrow. Eli and I meet them out front of the packhouse.

“Alpha Christopher, it’s nice to see you again.” I say warmly as he gets out of his car. He looks around before coming over, bringing his daughter with him.
