The Broken Warrior's Daughter

Chapter 0551

I have to admit, the thought of ten Alphas being on our pack lands at the same time, all of them knowing about me, has me on edge. I know I can fight, and I know I’m strong, but having Clint beside me makes my chances for making it through next weekend without being kidnapped exponentially better. So, I agree to sharing a room. I already know that if I’m not with him at night, I won’t sleep a wink and I need to on my game and extra careful next weekend, which I can’t do if I’m exhausted.

“First,” Alpha Patrick begins. “Lily, you will train with me or Anders every morning. No one else. I want to make sure you are ready to fight an Alpha if that’s what it comes to.”

He looks at me and I nod. I’ve already sparred with Alpha Patrick a couple of times. I’m hoping now I’ll be strong enough to defeat him.

“Second, you will train with Clint every afternoon in both human and wolf form.”

Clint and I nod. “We already do that every day.” Clint tells him. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

“Okay, let’s take a look at who will be here and who we need to focus our worry and warriors on. Alpha Leander is the Alpha from our neighboring pack, Shadow Falls, and already has a mate. I don’t expect any problems from him. Alpha William and Alpha James also have mates and both of them also have heirs, so I don’t expect any problems from them. Alpha Christopher has a human mate, but from everything I’ve heard, he is very much in love, so he shouldn’t be a problem either.”

Okay, four of the ten have mates. That’s not as many as I would have hoped.

“Of the remaining six Alphas, the two that I am most concerned about are Alpha Jerome and Alpha Benjamin. Alpha Jerome lost his mate under questionable circumstances after she gave him a male heir. There have been rumors of questionable deaths in his pack ever since he took over as Alpha. He

is power hungry and would love to have a Guardian in his pack, even if he has to forcibly mark her. Alpha Benjamin is ruthless and power hungry. He has taken a chosen mate, and from everything I’ve heard, he’s not happy and so far, she hasn’t given him an heir. If I had to guess, I’d say he will be bringing the most warriors of any Alpha. He’s definitely at the top of my list of concerns for Lily’s safety. The remaining four Alphas are a risk simply because they are unmated. Two had already declined but have since rescinded and are now coming. Both of them are in their twenties and still looking for their mates. They may just want to see if Lily is their mate, but they could make a play to take her. The other two are

older Alphas who have sons close to Lily’s age, so we can’t rule them out.

The severity of the situation begins to sink in. Next weekend I’m going to be glued to Clint.

“Of course, Alpha Mahli’s invitation has been revoked since he attempted to take Lily, but that doesn’t

mean that he won’t make a play either. And, of course, we have to worry about Aaron trying to make another deal with an Alpha to get the money he needs to pay his debts. In addition, every one of these Alphas will be traveling with their Betas or Gammas and most likely some of their too warriors. This means, if they try to take Lily, they will either have strength to try to achieve it or they will be able to make

a diversion.”

“What is the plan to keep Lily safe?” Anders asks his father. Clint has been getting increasingly angry beside me, but my increasing fear for my safety is making it hard for me to calm him.

“As I mentioned, Lily only spar with me, Anders or Clint this week. Clint, when you train, I want you training in both human and woll forms.”

Clint nods. “We already train in both forms.”

Alpha Patrick looks at me. “I push yourself and Andra this week. I need you to be stronger by next weekend.”

I nod. “I can do that.”

Clint takes my hand, looking at me. It helps calm me. “You can definitely do that. You’re strong and you’re a Guardian. You’ll be ready to take on an Alpha by next weekend, no question. Honestly, you probably already are.”

“I guess we’ll see tomorrow morning.” I say, not feeling very confident right now. Clint squeezes my hand.

“Nothing will happen to you Lily. I won’t leave your side next weekend.”

I look at him and see that he has reigned in his temper to help me with my fear.

“We’ll need more than just Clint watching Lily at all times.” Calvin says.

“Agreed. You and I need to come up with a plan to have increased patrols and also have three warriors with Lily at all times. We can rotate that out if it includes you, me or Anders.” Patrick replies and I can see the wheels turning in Calvin’s head as he begins planning for the increased protection duty.

“What about my mother? Do you think any of them would go after her to get to me?”

Alpha Patrick smiles a fatherly smile at me. “Spoken like a true Guardian.” He says before nodding. We will need to have someone watching her as well. I’m assuming your father isn’t an issue?”

I have to think about that one. If someone threatened to hurt my father, would I be willing to give myself up to keep him safe?

When I look up, everyone in the room is watching me for my response. “He is part of the reason I’m in this mess. If he is threatened, then he will have to deal with the consequences of his actions.”

Everyone nods. “We have four days. There may be other preparations to make between now and then. but Lily, your main job is to get stronger. You and Clint are our best defense against you getting taken. Don’t go anywhere without Clint or your protection duty, not the bathroom, not your bedroom, nowhere. Do you understand?”

“Yes. Alpha.”

“I won’t be leaving her side, not for a moment.” Clint chimes in. He squeezes my hand and looks at me. “I

told you, no one will take you from me, and I mean it. I don’t care if I have to kill every Alpha that comes.

to visit. They can’t have you.”

“Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.” Alpha Patrick says.

“Yeah, I’d rather my 18th birthday not go down in history as ‘The Bloody Birthday“.” Anders chimes in. I hope so too. But I’d rather be in a bloody battle than kidnapped and forced into a mate bond.

nd did

Alpha Anders birthday is going to be interesting. That’s a lot of Alphas in one place. And did anyone recognize some of those names?

I’m working on a second chapter for today, but I can’t guarantee it. Tomorrow will be back to regular daily updates with two chapters.
