The Broken Warrior's Daughter

It's been a couple of months since Benny joined our pack. It’s is really coming along now. Most of our pack members have homes that are either complete or in the final stages of completion. Main

street stores are complete, and we’ve started building another set of stores in the expansion portion of the pack, making it easier for those members that chose to live farther away from the

packhouse to get supplies when needed.

Grace and | started having monthly pack meetings, keeping everyone up to date, providing any announcements and using that time to add new members to the pack, whether they are wolves coming of age, or people who have come to our pack looking for a safe place to live.

Ailduin comes for training every two weeks. He brings Anastasia so she can see her father. Alpha Christopher spoke to his Beta when he returned with Fanella. He set up an Alpha challenge and

his Beta’s son won, as expected. He took a month to help transition the duties to the new Alpha and then he and Fanella officially moved to our pack. They have built a house near the forest, in at community where Alexander and Thomas also built homes. It puts the sprites closer to their friends and families and it also puts warriors near our borders which helps protect our territory. The hunters have started moving again. The sprites have found several in our forest and we've been able to scare them off or eliminate them. Alpha Anders and the team of elders that have been looking for hunter compounds have only been able to track down one. | wasn’t there, but from what | heard, they found all sorts of supernatural beings. They were being tortured and

experimented on, just like Amber had been. We know there must be others, but they haven’t been able to find them. We’ve started hearing rumors again that something big is coming. We've increased our patrols and thankfully, we now have two sides of our pack lands that border Liam and Rik’s packs, which provides extra security for all of us.

Grace is getting stronger. Her ability to pull power has now extended past Cara to Rik. Somehow, once they were able to connect the mind link, it made it possible for Grace to also pull from Rik’s power. Ailduin has been testing her ability to pull it separately from Rik or through Cara. At our last training session, Grace was able to not only pull from Cara and Rik, but she also touched on Rik’s pack members. Liam still refuses to allow Angel to participate, and | don’t blame him. Grace is exhausted after every training session. However, after she tapped into Rik’s power through the

mind link, Ailduin started having Liam sit in. Now Grace can pull from Cara and Rik as well as

Liam and me all at the same time. She was powerful before, but now, when she pulls our power. her strength is amplified even more.

It's late and I’m at my desk, getting ready to be away for another weekend of training with Ailduin. This time, we’re scheduled to be at Rik and Cara’s pack. My phone rings and when | pick it up, I’m on a conference call with Rik and Liam.

“Eli, Rik. We have a problem.” Liam starts the conversation. “I’ve just returned from my office in the city. A panther shifter that I met nearly a year ago came in. She looked awful. She said she had been kept in a hunter’s compound for nearly six months. During that time, she overheard them talking about the Guardians. She escaped and came to warn me. The hunters are planning

to come for our mates.” Both Rik and | snarl at this news. We all take a moment to get ourselves under control. “So, youThis is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

think this is the big thing that we’ve been hearing about?”

“| think it must be. Audra said she overheard them speaking about what happened at the tournament. The ones that escaped that day did get the news back to their leaders. They have. also been experimenting on wolves. Audra thinks they are rogues, which is why we haven't been alerted to missing wolves from any of the packs.”

“I'll send my father to speak to her, if that’s okay. I’m sure he’d like to find that compound.” Rik says.

“Send him over. I've got her set up here at the pack. She’s not happy about it, but she’s safe.” “Does she know what kind of experiments they were doing on the wolves?” | ask.
