The Broken Warrior's Daughter

We are escorted to an empty room, with a table next to the glass overlooking a lake. There are fairy lights all around the lake, giving it a romantic feel. Not the feeling | want to have with this Alpha.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Without asking me, Alpha Mahli orders for both of us. When the waiter is gone, he shifts his attention to me. “What do you know about me, Lily?”

“Well, | really only know what you've told me today.” And that you are a terrible decorator and possibly have a small dick. But | don’t say that out loud.

He reaches over and takes my hands in his. “I’m looking for a mate, someone that can be by my side, helping me to manage the day-to-day operations of the packhouse. | don’t need a strong Luna, merely one that is competent and one that can give me an heir.”

He pulls my hands to his lips, kissing them, then sucking on my knuckles. | have to swallow the bile in my throat.

“Your father thinks that we would be a good match. | would care for you, and your would want for nothing. You are young and sexy and should be able to give me many heirs.” Ewww, this time | think | actually threw up a little in my mouth.

| force a smile on my face, happy when the food comes, and | can pull my hands out of his. | wait until the wait staff leave before responding.

“Alpha Mahli, you are very kind. | am honored that you would consider me as a mate.” Not really, but | definitely don’t want to piss this guy off, especially when I’m on his pack lands and have no idea where my father is.

“| have always wanted to find my fated mate. It’s been a dream of mine since | was a little girl. Obviously, | haven't reached the age where | can sense who my mate is, but | would want to pursue the option of finding my fated mate before taking a chosen mate.”

“Of course. You are young, after all, and youth thinks the world will be beautiful once they find their fated mate. | hate to be the one to tell you this, Lily, but that’s not always how it is. Many mates are rejected and many never find their fated mate.”

He leans forward, his eyes intent on me. “You should listen to the wisdom of age — your father, and me. We can tell you what is best for you. Then you wouldn't have to worry your pretty little head over silly things such as fated mates.”

Okay, now this guy is just being insulting. | already told him | was intelligent. I’m perfectly capable of making my own decisions, so why in the world would | let someone | barely know make any decisions for me. And after today, I’m not sure | want my father making any decisions for me either.

I'm sure this food would be delicious if my stomach wasn’t churning, making me feel like it will all come back up any moment. “You have given me much to think about, Alpha Mahli. Being underage, it’s not a decision that can be made now anyway. I'll consider your request.” Yeah, consider forgetting all about it and never coming back here again!

| knew you'd make the right decision.” He says, as the waiter comes back asking about dessert.

No, we won't be having dessert. My future Luna needs to watch her weight.” He

says.

I'm not sure this asshole could be any more insulting. Watch my weight? | train 6 hours a day, which is more than I can say for him. | guarantee that | could take this Alpha in a fight.

When we get back into the limousine, Alpha Mahli once again sits beside me. This time, he puts his hand on my knee and begins rubbing his hand on my thigh. Would you like to take me for a test ride?”

| frown, hoping I’m misunderstanding what he means, but knowing if he doesn’t remove his hand, Andra will rip it off. “I’m not sure what you mean?”
