Chapter 515
The Broken Warrior’s Daughter
Chapter 0515
When the rogues attacked, I didnât think twice about jumping in to help. Clintâs stupid command to stay behind wasnât one I had any intention of listening to. Iâm a warrior, thatâs my job.
What I hadnât thought through was that once I shifted, everyone would know that Andra is a Guardian. Her golden eyes would give us away. During the fight,
everyone was too busy to notice, but once it was over, the warriors noticed it quickly.
Iâve sparred with Lyle. Heâs a good man and a great warrior. Obviously, I know. his son Lucas well too, since he wanted to take me on a date. I trust that Lyle means what he says when he tells Donovan that he will keep me safe. Iâm not exactly sure about the other warriors. If anything, Iâm in for a bunch of wolves suddenly showing me a lot of interest. The attention is unwanted, but Iâm not. sure there is anything I can do about it.
As a Guardian, I would make a powerful mate. Itâs why Iâm thankful that Alpha Patrick gives his Alpha command to keep this information in the pack. Iâd have to go into lockdown for the next 6 weeks until I turn 18, or even longer if my mate. isnât in this pack if word got out that an unmated, underage female Guardian was in our pack.
I appreciate Donovanâs protectiveness. The immediate attention that is turned on me by every unmated male warrior in our pack is daunting. However, when he tries to keep Gideon from Andra, I need to let Gideon know that I donât hold him. responsible for my fatherâs actions. He is a good wolf, stuck with a man who has an addiction. I know Gideon would never hurt me or Andra.
âDaughter. Iâm so proud of you.â He says to me and Andra, through the mind link, nodding his head at me.
âThank you, father.â Andra replies to him. âIâm sorry we had to keep this from you.â
âNo, you were right to keep this from Aaron. He cannot be trusted with you. He and I are in a constant state of argument over how he has treated you.â He looks from me to Donovan. âYou have a good protector now. Donovan and Clint will keep you safe.â
âYour father is trying to take back control. I need to go now.â Gideon chuffs. before turning and walking away.
âI love
you Gideon.â I say
I say to him.

âI love you, my daughter.â He says, but he doesnât turn back.
. Iâm sad all over again at the loss of my family. I shift, intending to go back to my
room and lay down. I have someâinjuries that need to heal after the battle. As soon as I shift, I hear Donovan growl.
1 turn and see that heâs shifted back, and Clint has positioned himself between me and the other warriors.
âWalk away. NOW!â He orders them.
He waits until they are out of sight before turning to me. âLily, for goddessâs sake, I told you I donât want you naked in front of the pack members. Now that they know youâre a Guardian, every unmated male will want you and you showing off your gorgeous body will only make it worse.â
Somewhere in the back of my mind, Iâm pleased that Clint thinks that my body is gorgeous. Since I train so many hours a day, my body is very lean. I have minimal curves and small breasts. Most men prefer a woman who is more voluptuous
than I am.
However, in my current depression over seeing Gideon, I donât really care about who sees me naked. In this pack, or any pack, nudity is common. Theyâve all seen me before.
He must take in my emotional state because he tips my chin up to look him in the eye. âWhat is it Lily bud? Are you hurt? Do we need to get you to the pack hospital?â
I shake my head and Iâm embarrassed that a tear falls down my cheek.
