The Broken Warrior's Daughter

| continue to be amazed at Alessia’s power. I’m not sure if she always had these gifts, but they just keep manifesting. My little mate is the most amazing woman I’ve ever met. The Moon Goddess really blessed me when she mated me to her.

I spend the rest of the day preparing for Angel’s Luna ceremony. My Alpha ceremony was not a happy occasion, and it wasn’t a celebration. | intend to change that for Angel. The entire pack and many of Rik and Cara’s pack have been invited.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

| met with Olivia this morning to make sure that she had enough help to prepare and feed nearly 1000 werewolves tonight. Since Dustin is out of commission, working with Sarah, | have Jackson get the music, dance floor and lighting set up.

While Angel is with Clint, | take the time to go out back and see that the warriors are setting up a stage and the lighting and speakers for the music are being set up around the back of the packhouse.

take a moment to breathe in the fresh air and enjoy that fact that Angel will officially be a member of my pack and the pack’s Luna in a few hours. The relief | had when | realized that she had taken over the planning and preparations of the kitchen and meals was almost overwhelming. I've been alone, doing everything, or almost everything for so long, that | didn’t even realize how much of a weight it was on me.

“Alpha.” Dustin says as his hand lands on my shoulder.

| turn and look at my Beta. “Dustin. What are you doing here? | thought you’d be with Sarah.” “She’s taking a nap, and | wanted to see if | could help while she’s sleeping.”

| look around at the preparations, squinting. “The flowers haven't arrived yet. I'll

“I'm on it.” He says and pulls out his phone.

While he calls the florist, | look around again. Everything seems to be coming together. I’m not sure if the pack just hasn’t had a reason to celebrate in a long time, or if it’s Angel that is bringing everyone out to assist. I’m hoping it’s the latter. It’s important for the pack to have a Luna that they admire and respect.

“Flowers will be here in 15 minutes. What else?” Dustin asks.

“Actually, it looks like everything else is done, or getting done.” | say, feeling unneeded for the first time in, well, ever.

“Good. Do you have the ceremonial knife and chalice?

I snap my fingers. “Let’s go find them, | think they’re in the safe.”

After getting the last items for tonight, | begin working on other things that have been needing my attention. Dustin and | work for another hour before we hear Sarah moving around above us. “I need...”

‘Go. | know she’s your first priority.” | smirk at him. “Does all that stuff that | told you make sense now?” referencing our previous conversation about mates.

“It's really bizarre, the mate bond, isn’t it?”

“Yeah, it is, but so amazing.”

“Do you...do you think she'll ever feel it, being human?” He asks me.

| look at him for a moment, before giving him my honest answer. “I think she already does. I’m not sure if all humans feel it or if it is related to her being exposed for so long to the leeches, but either way, | think she feels it.”

“Thanks Alpha.”

At some point, | realize that Angel has returned from training. She doesn’t seek me out, so I’m hoping that she is getting more comfortable in the packhouse and with the pack members. | know if she needs me, she'll come find me, so | continue to make contingency plans in case something happens to me during the battle with the vampires.

When I'm done, | head upstairs to our room. | find her showering and | lean in the doorway, enjoying the view of my sweet little mate. Her body has filled out from when she first got here. You can’t count her ribs and her hip bones aren't protruding like the used to. She still needs to gain some weight, but that will come with time and she’s already putting on muscle, helping her to fill out just a bit more.
