The Broken Warrior's Daughter

| can’t believe he was going to kiss me! Not just kiss me, but kiss me in front of every warrior in our pack? Not happening. | might have kneed him a little harder than | intended. It was a knee-jerk (ha ha) reaction and | know it hurt. At least he'll think twice before trying to kis

me again. And he’s a Guardian. I’m sure he'll heal and won't have any lasting effects that might keep him and his future mate from having pups. At least, | hope so. | have nothing against his future mate. ‘Do you want to risk a run, Andra? It’s possible that Donovan may come looking for you again.*

‘Yes. | need to train, and | don’t mind Donovan. Maybe he can catch me again and lick my muzzle while he pins me to the ground.” She purrs in my head.

Thankfully Donovan seems to care more about waiting for his mate than my wolf does.

‘| didn’t say | wouldn't wait for our mate. | just said | wouldn’t mind Donovan pinning me to the ground. There's a difference.‘ She says, huffing at me.

“Whatever.' | tell her.

I'm about to strip and shift when my dad walks up behind me. “What was that with Clint Nelson at training just now? It looked like he was about to kiss you.” “Well, | don’t think he’ll make that mistake again, since | shoved his balls so far up into his body, he may never be able to have pups.” | say, thinking my father will laugh it off.

“You need to stay away from him Lils. He’s a Guardian. Nothing good can come of that for you.”

“| know dad. Don’t worry, I’m not stupid enough to think that he wants anything to do with me other than getting in my pants.” Although Clint did give me his word as a Guardian that he wouldn’t try anything and now I'll have to find a way to meet him somewhere other than my house on Sunday, so my parents don’t find out | went out with him. Ugh!

When my father goes inside, | strip out of my clothes and shift, heading for the forest. Andra is running, doing sprints up and down rocky terrain and around rocks, leaping over gaps in the landscape, trying to extend the distance of her jumps.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

We've just leaped another break in the rocks, when Donovan tentatively approaches us. | can tell he’s unsure of his welcome after my encounter with

Clint, but Andra is happy to see him and immediately runs up to him, rubbing herself against him.

He nips at her playfully and they take off. | have to admit, Donovan puts Andra through her paces. He’s not as agile as she is, but he’s very strong and fast. He pushes her for another hour before we call it a night. They race back to my house, Donovan nipping at her heels all the way, Andra yipping happily at his attention.

When we get to the tree line, | stop. Donovan stops too, looking at us curiously, waiting for us to head to my house.

“My father doesn’t want me spending time with you. So, it’s better if he doesn’t see you walking me home.” | say to Clint in the mind link.

“Your father doesn’t want you spending time with the pack’s Guardian?” He asks.

“My father doesn’t want me spending time with Clint Nelson. You don’t exactly have a good reputation, and he saw you almost kiss me today. It didn’t go over well.”

“How am | supposed to pick you up for our date on Sunday if he doesn’t want you going out with me?” He asks, and | can hear the irritation in his voice.
