The Broken Warrior's Daughter

Chapter 0039 It's Friday and I’m really excited about today’s gift. It took a lot for me to get it, and even pulling strings, | still had to fight for it..

After yesterday, I’m getting all kinds of side eyed looks from both my pack. members and Liam’s. There is no issue between our packs and it needs to stay that way, so | don’t say anything, just put on my arrogant Alpha face and continue walking.

I'm at my locker getting books for class, not really paying attention, when hands. come around me from the back and slide across my abdomen. | can tell by the scent of rosewater that it’s Sheila. Have | mentioned I’m not a huge fan of the scent of rosewater?

“Alpha, I’ve missed you.” One hand slides down the inside of my jeans to where she can touch me. “It’s Friday and | was wondering if you'd like to party tonight. We had so much fun last week.”

week, this would have been a completely welcome offering of a good fuck. Today it doesn’t even cause my dick to twitch. Not only is my body not responsive, but the last thing | need is Cara seeing me like this and taking it

wrong.

| grab Sheila’s hand pulling it out of my jeans as | step out of her embrace. ” Sheila. Nice to see you, but | have to get to class. As you might remember, tomorrow is my birthday, so | won’t be doing any partying tonight.

“So, I'll see you tomorrow, Alpha, at your party?” She states as | start to walk away. “Sure.” | say to get her to go away. | don’t hear whatever else she says or see her smug smile as she turns to her friends.

The time is crawling today. By the time lunch rolls around, I’m nearly desperate to see Cara's reaction to my gift. ‘She’s going to love it.‘ Kai reassures me.

‘I hope so, I'd hate to think we used our favor for something that she didn’t even like.‘

‘Rik, it's a perfect gift, trust me. It tells her we know who she is, understand what she needs and wants and that we value her for the person and wolf that she is.

‘Ailduin wasn’t thrilled to part with the book.‘

‘He would have been less thrilled if his son had died in that explosion three years ago.’ Kai remarks. +15 BONOS

“Which is why | know he'll deliver today.”

| watch as Cara enters. | can tell she thinks that her suitor was scared off by Liam yesterday. Not a chance Little Guardian. I’m here to stay. She looks disappointed until the room goes quiet and then the buzz of chatter starts almost immediately. Most wolves have never seen a fae. They are rare and don’t particularly like werewolves, feeling that our lives are too violent. They prefer to live peaceful lives among the humans, typically identified as ‘tree—huggers, hippies or free spirits’. For wolves, there is no peaceful life among humans, not unless we hide who we really are.

| watch as Ailduin walks to Cara, confirms who she is and then, after the briefest of hesitations, hands her the book.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

The book has been in Ailduin’s family, the royal fae family, for generations. The only reason | know that it even exists is because | happened to see it when | returned Aolis, Ailduin’s son, to him after finding him in a hunter’s bunker. The hunters knew that we had found them so they were trying to get rid of the evidence by bombing the building, letting it and all the supernatural inhabitants burn alive.

| was there with my father searching for some of our missing pack members. We had gotten intel from another wolf pack that the hunters were kidnapping supes and bringing them to the bunker for experiments. It was a multi-pack effort, but the hunters realized we were there when we tripped their alarm system. The bombs started going off almost immediately, as if they were on a trip wire. Five wolves ran into the building, using a hole in a wall that had blown open with one of the bombs. | wanted to go, but my father refused to let me enter the building.

It was chaos. The screams of those who were burning alive still haunt my dreams. But, they did what we could and saved many supernaturals that day, Aolis included. He was just a boy, so my father had me take him back to his family to make sure he made it safely while he and the other pack leaders did damage control.
