The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0018

She takes out a black tablecloth that looks like something out of a fine dining restaurant and spreads it on the

table. Then she sets the table for one with a linen. napkin and utensils. | sit and she puts the plate with the dome

covering it in front

of me.

“You have your choice of coffee, tea or soda to drink.”

“Uh, soda, please Tamara.”

She smiles, pours a glass of soda forand then sets another, smaller plate on the table. Pointing to the

smaller plate, she says, “This is dessert”.

“Is there anything else | can get you?”

“Was there a card?”

She reaches into her pocket and handsthe card. “When you are done, just leave it all here and I'll cback

and collect it.” She nods atand heads out of the cafeteria.

“Thank you.”

| realize that no one is saying anything. The entire cafeteria is quiet, watching me. No one is even going through

the line to get their food for lunch. From somewhere in the back, someone hollers, “Well, let's see what you got

for lunch.”

| pull the cover off the plate and my mouth instantly starts to water. It’s filet. mignon and lobster tail, mashed

potatoes and grilled asparagus. My mouth drops open and every shifter in the room groans, almost

simultaneously as they catch the scent of my delicious lunch. There’s a small dish inside with melted butter and

a separate pat of butter for the potato or asparagus, not sure.

What's

| hear Jason's voice, much more airy and distracted than normal, asking the card say?” while Lacey, never taking

her eyes off my food, uses her finger to close my gaping mouth.

| snap my mouth closed and open the card.

| read the note several times. Artemis has cforward as this is a powerful. message not just to me, but to her

as well. The most important thing to a male wolf is to show his mate that he can protect and care for her. This

message means that my admirer wants Artemis and | to know that he is willing and capable of taking care for us.

Holy shit, Liam was right. This man, whoever he is, is staking his claim.

Jason whistles softly, reading over my shoulder. “Damn.” He lengths the word, making it extend for a few

seconds as | continue to stare at the card.

“Girl, if you aren’t going to eat that, I definitely will! And if you are, for all that’s good and holy, please eat it

before it gets cold.” Lacey is drooling over my food. a

“You can't eat it, Lace,” Jason says quietly, still looking at the card in my hand.

“What? Why?” She asks as she snatches the card out of my hand. Her eyes go wide as she reads the card.

“Damn girl! That's so hot. Even DeeDee is purring right now.” DeeDee is Lacey's wolf. | look up at her. “I know

right?”

She cocks an eyebrow, “Artemis, what do you think?”

| can tell she’s still forward so my eyes must be glowing. Artemis smirks, “I'm going to eat my offering and enjoy

every moment of it.”

| pick up my fork and knife and dive in. My eyes close involuntarily and | moan.

“Rub it in, why don’t you!” | hear from across the cafeteria.

“Sorry, but it’s too damn good to stay quiet about, so get over it” | shout back.

“You gonna share?” | hear from somewhere else.

“Not a chance and before any one of you thinks to takeon to get MY delicious lunch,” Artemis pushes

forward and my voice deepens a bit, “remember I'm a Guardian.”

There's a lot of grumbling and lots of shifters ccloser to my table than is necessary to get a whiff of my

food. “Oh my goddess, is that from Ethereal? It looks like it's from Ethereal.”

I look at the girl staring at my food. “I honestly don’t know, I've never been there, but I can tell you this. The food

is delicious.”
