The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0390 Grace returned from the pack gathering with an additional 16 pack members. Six of those are warriors and the other ten are omegas. Carlos finds a place for the warriors and begins training them, assessing their strengths and weaknesses. It's an adjustment for them at first, our pack being so young and needing so much work. But eventually, they appreciate being needed and begin to enjoy building a life with their mate literally from the ground up.

Grace easily found places for the omegas, especially as our pack is growing. They were excited to be able to build their own houses and if they have a skill, they have the ability to expand that into a business if they choose.

The ten pack members that went to spend time with their mates chose to stay in those packs. Once they realized that Rik, Cara, Liam and Angel are good leaders, they were more comfortable staying. It helps that they were evenly divided between the packs and therefore have some friendly faces around them.

Over the next month, we continue to build. Once Joel left the hospital, Perry and Sirona were able to get the building finished and Sirona is working on the final touches. She now has two more individuals we acquired through the mate gathering that have requested to learn medicine. She’s got them working to help her build out the rest of the hospital while they are in school.

With the continued housing development, more and more space has opened up in the packhouse, so Perry assigned some members of his team to look over the first-floor rooms, previously assigned to omegas to begin development of a nursery and a children’s home for those children who have lost their parents. In addition, he assigned some members to begin development of the main street. shops, starting with the open-air market.

We quickly realized that 30 egg-laying hens would not be sufficient, so Grace has purchased another 150 hens. She also got a rooster this time and the hens who will produce baby chickens were separated from the egg-laying hens. This way, we can ensure that the rooster only fertilizes the eggs that are meant to develop.

After the first group of mates found each other, we had a ceremony initiating them into our pack along with the new members that came to us for sanctuary. As more and more people come to our borders, Grace and | decided to have a monthly ceremony, at least for now.

Our next trip to Canyon Ridge allowed Grace to really showcase her strengths and that she and Maia could share that power with her Guardian sisters. Their ability to boost each other's power is getting stronger. Grace is careful not to pull too much from Cara and Angel, so she doesn’t impact their pregnancies. But | wonder what will happen after they have their babies.

It will be interesting to see how her strength impacts her ability to draw on theirs.

Grace and | had been practicing with Maia pushing her power to Louis. And, while we were in Canyon Ridge, | tried to mind link Carlos again. This time, | was able to do it. We then reached out to find the patrols and while they were even farther away, | was able to reach them.

While we were in Canyon Ridge, Grace checked on our previous pack members. and found them flourishing. She suggested that some of them come to the next mate gathering to share their experiences with those that may find their mates, so they know it is safe to move to another pack if they choose.

Two weeks after that, we again arrived at Canyon Ridge to train. However, baby Lily had other ideas. Cara's delivery was difficult, and it was good that we were there. Angel was able to provide her healing to both Cara and baby Lily and afterward, Grace had Angel pull from her strength to regain her own.

Grace and | had talked about the strange connection between the fae royalty and the Guardians. But, as it turns out, Aolis recognized Lily as his mate, which explains his odd draw to Cara. He seems too young to recognize his mate, but it's obviously different for the fae than it is for wolves. Angel explained that Ailduin was mated to a Guardian nearly a century ago, but his mate was taken from him. So, it's not surprising that Aolis is mated to the daughter of a Guardian.

The sadness that Cara had before having Lily seems to evaporate when she holds her daughter in her arms. | think Rik is just relieved that he didn't lose his mate or daughter during the delivery. I'm not sure what happened with Aolis, Angel and Liam wouldn't say, but he had some involvement in helping with the delivery process as well. We were with Ailduin when Aolis returned from the hospital. They had a strange mental communication between them, and they left soon afterward.

We're about a month away from the Tournament of the Moon Goddess. I've chosen the first 10 individuals who will participate.

Grace and | will be involved as the strongest members of the pack. Carlos, even though he doesn't have a wolf, is very strong and wants to participate. I'm still assessing Amber, but she is showing her strength and is a contender to participate as well.

Several other warriors have shown themselves to stand out and are in the top 10, including one of Rik’s previous pack members.

He is looking forward to showing up his friends in his previous pack. Noah wanted to participate, but Sirona told him she would need to stay behind to finish the hospital and to be available in case any other people came to ouf pack needing medical attention. So, he will stay behind and run the pack while we are away.

+15 BONOS Liam and Angel had agreed to have two mate gatherings and the second was scheduled a week before Angel was due to deliver.

An additional 25 mate pairs. found each other, and we reshuffled the packs again. Grace and | have agreed to host the next mate gathering after the Tournament of the Moon Goddess. As our pack is coming together, we will be proud to have others come to see what we have accomplished.

As I'm finishing up some pack paperwork and about to go looking for my mate, | get a mind link.

“Alpha. We have some.....creatures at the border. They are asking to see Luna Grace.” Carlos says.

“They specifically asked to see Grace, not me?” “Yes, Alpha.” “We'll be right there.” | turn the corner and see my mate is looking for me. “Did you hear that?” “Yes. Let's go see who wants to speak with me.” She says as we take off at a jog to where our visitors are waiting.
