The Broken Warrior's Daughter

We let them enjoy their wins. We don’t have anyone competing tomorrow, and while | want to be there to cheer for Shadow Falls and Canyon Ridge, our score will stay the same. Eli lets e

know how proud he is of them and after mind linking me, he decides to take this opportunity offer the Lead Warrior position to Ezra. He accepts and the party continues while Eli and | go to our cabin, hearing the party last until well into the early morning.

The next day, I’m not surprised when there are only a few of our pack that make it to i breakfast. Today, at least breakfast didn’t start until 5:30am as the battles would begin at 7am. Day two of the tournament is the battle of Lead Warriors and Gammas. Liam's new Lead Warrior is fighting

as well as Trevor and our own Maddison. I'll be rooting hardest for her, since she came from our pack.

Today starts with a total of 1,790 contestants. Nearly half of yesterdays contestants, but each day, the battles should be tougher. We watch the first two rounds again before we break for lunch, As we are walking over to get the babies, Sarah and Aolis, we see that there is someone speaking

to them.

As we get closer, | hear what he is saying. “What kind of pack associates with humans and—what are you? A pixie?” He sneers at Sarah and Aolis.

Aolis stands and puts himself in between what | can now smell is a Beta, and the others. “I’m an elf, a royal elf.”

The Beta snorts. “Whatever. | don’t know what pathetic pack you come from but go crawl back to it before | send you in a body bag.”

I'm about to step forward when | see Cara step up behind the Beta. “Beta. Are you insulting an Elf Prince and my guest?” He turns, the sneer still on his face. By the quick look of fear that spreads across his face, | have to assume that Artemis is shining in Cara’s eyes.

“Gu—Gu-Guardian.” Even from here | can see his Adam's apple bobbing nervously.

“Or perhaps you were threatening my Beta female.” Angel comes up on his other side. His head whips around.

“Wh, what? No, no.” He stutters.

“Aren't you going to go over there and help them?” | ask Rik and Liam.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Why would we insult our mates like that?” Rik asks.

“Yeah, that would just piss them off.” Liam adds. Neither of them has taken their eyes off the scene, but they aren’t moving forward to assist either.

Angel and Cara back the Beta against a wall, effectively cornering him. “Perhaps you need a lesson in manners, Beta.” Cara says, stressing his title.

“We were just having a bit of fun, weren’t we?” The Beta says, looking at Aolis. “That guy is an insult to Betas.” Eli says beside me. “| told you I think you have Alpha blood. You are more Alpha than Beta.” | tell him. Watching the intense scene unfold.

“| have to agree with Grace. No Beta could have lasted as long as you did in my dungeons.” Liam says to Eli, never taking his eyes off his mate.

“Sometimes, Betas descend from Alphas. They might be the second or third sons of an Alpha, but over time, people forget.” Rik chimes in, his eyes also never leaving his mate.

As we watch, Angel and Cara have the Beta basically shaking in his boots. | can’t be sure, but | think he might have pissed himself.

“Is it wrong that I’m turned on right now?” Rik says.

“It's so fucking hot watching our girls showcase their power.” Liam says.

Suddenly, an Alpha is there beside the Beta. As he’s talking to Cara and Angel, Eli tenses beside me. The Alpha pulls his Beta away and they begin walking in our direction.

“| think it’s time to put another pup in my mate.” Liam says, walking toward Angel in what | can only describe as a predator going after its prey.

“Seriously? Richie’s only two weeks old.” Rik calls after him. “Exactly. It’s been way too long since she was carrying my pup.”

We watch as he walks up to Angel, picking her up. We hear her giggle before he kisses her passionately, walking them toward the surrounding forest.

As the Beta starts to pass us, Eli reaches out and stops him. “You're from Red Dawn Pack?” He asks him. He looks from Eli to me. “That’s right.”

Eli sucker punches him in the face. “That’s for Carlos. He sends his regards.”
