The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0348

After showering, | get dressed and realize, | have no idea if anyone in the pack. even has a car. | need to go to

the store to get all the items that Maddie has on her list. | also have no idea what is around here other than the

small town that Eli and | cinto when we got off at the last bus stop.

Thankfully, Eli comes in as I'm finishing up. “Do you know if any of the pack members have a car?” | ask him.

“I know Carlos does and sof the others, why? Going somewhere?” He asks while taking off his clothes. | take

a moment to enjoy his muscular body. Any injuries he sustained this morning look like they've already healed.

“Grace. If you keep looking atlike that, neither of us will get to the work we need to do today.”

“It’s not my fault that you look so good naked.” | say stepping up to him and running my hands over his chest

and down his abdominals, feeling each square of this 8-pack as | go. | smile as my hands are smacked by his

very happy member coming quickly to attention.

| look at him through my lashes and I’m about to get on my knees and take him in my mouth, when he spins me

around, pushingagainst the wall, pulling my pants down to my ankles. | step out of one leg, arching back,

pushing against him. | barely have a moment to brace myself before he lines himself up at my entrance and

thrusts inside me. | moan in pleasure. | really do love this position.

He has one hand on my hip, the other around my throat as he pounds intorelentlessly. We both climax

quickly, both needing this release after the stress of this morning.

He's leaning againstas we catch our breath, holdingagainst the wall.

“That was very naughty, Little Alpha.” He says as he steps back and smacks my ass hard. | jump at the contact,

turning and looking at him over my shoulder. His eyes are smoldering, even after our release. Oh, this man is just

encouraging me.

“Well, I guess I'll have to be naughty more often then.” | say before pushing away from the wall, taking my time

bending over to get my pants. His answering growl is the only hint | get, before he’s inside me, holdingdown

in my bent over position while he takesagain. Goddess, this is a good position, too.

This time, just as the pressure is building to orgasm, | feel his hand cdown hard on my ass and it’s all | need

to pushover the edge, screaming his name.

When | stand, the blood rushes out of my head. I'm dizzy and | lean back against him, letting him holdup.

“There's more where that cfrom, Little Alpha. But for now, get dressed. We have work to do and a pack to

clean up.”

| finish getting dressed. “Go see Carlos, he’ll know who has a car in the pack.”

1 kiss him goodbye and head out to find Carlos. When | do, | find Noah in his office as well. They look like they

are in the middle of a heavy conversation.

“I'm sorry, | didn’t mean to interrupt. | was wondering if there is someone in the pack who might have a car and

could driveto the nearest town.”

Noah stands up. “I can drive you, Luna. Where are we going?”

“Thank you, Noah. We're going to get food and supplies for the packhouse.”

Carlos looks at me. “Luna, we don’t really have money for that.”

“The pack doesn’t, but I do.” | turn to Noah. “So you'll also be acting as guard to make sure | don’t get robbed by

any humans.”

| can see Noah fighting his smile, but Carlos snorts. “Yeah, because you need to be protected. If anything, |

should ask you to protect our future Gamma here.” Carlos says, gesturing to Noah.

“Carlos.” Noah says, exasperated, before turning to me. “I haven't decided yet, Luna. Alpha just askeda little

while ago.”

“You seem like a smart man, Noah. I'm sure you'll make the right choice.” | say meaningfully. Eli, once again, has

made an excellent choice in a ranked member.

“Yes, Luna.” He says, looking embarrassed. “When did you want to leave?”

“As soon as you're ready.”

“Letget my keys and I'll meet you at the front door.”

| grab my purse and money and head downstairs to wait for Noah. Eli comes around the corner. “Hey, you

distractedearlier. Where are you going?”

Noah walks up as we're talking. “Noah is takingto get sneeded food and supplies for the pack.”

“Baby, we don’t have money for that.” He says, stepping up to me, pullingagainst him.

“The pack doesn’t have the money for that, we do.” | tell him, including him in case others are listening in.

“You mean you have the money for that. | don’t want you spending your money

+15 DONOS

on the pack.”

I turn, looking at Noah. “Can you give us a minute?” | ask him.

“Sure, I'll just go see what's cooking for dinner.” He says, walking toward the kitchen.

1 turn, stepping out of his grip and put my hands on my hips, narrowing my eyes. “Am | or am | not the Luna of

this pack?” | ask him, daring him to deny it.

“Grace, that’s not the......”

“Is it as much my responsibility as yours to make sure this pack is happy and healthy?” | interrupt him.

“Grace...”

“You don’t get to have it both ways Eli. Either we are a team and share

everything, or we don't. You need to check your male ego and accept that this is what is best for the pack.”

| watch as he grinds his teeth together, looking away from me, battling with himself. | get it, he’s the Alpha. It's

his job to provide for the pack. And he will, I have no doubt. But right now, | can help, and | need him to accept

that.

“Fine, but I'll pay you back.”

“Wrong. This is for the pack, and we aren't keeping score.” | step up to him and take his face in my hands. “I

knew what | was getting into when | agreed to be your mate.”

“You mean when you sank your canines into my neck when you were jealous and angry?” He asks, but the

frustration is lessening.

“I already knew | wanted you. But this,” | sweep my arm around showing | mean what we are building together.

“This is exciting. We really have a chance to do something good here, something special. Please don’t let your

ego get in the way of that.” | say, putting my forehead against his. “I know you can provide for this. pack. You

just need tto get there. | have the ability to make things better for the pack now. Let's do this together, like

we agreed.”

“Goddess, | love you.” He kisses me, slow and deep. “Someday, when all this is done, I'm taking you somewhere

special.”

“Deal!”

| step back. “Noah, you ready?” | call out. “Coming Luna.” He says, before we head out.
