The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0136 

Cara and Clint both looked stunned. “Yes.” They say in unison. 

“That is also from Bellona’s line.” 

He stands and goes to a shelf gathering three large tomes. He brings them to the table and sets them in front of Clint. “These are the chronicles of your wolf’s Guardian spirit for the first four generations.” 

He sits back down, folding his hands in front of him on the table. He stares at his hands before starting again. “It was during the time I was chronicling the Guardians that I met Jinelle. She and her Alpha came here to provide her story. I knew immediately that she was my mate.” His eyes become sad as he thinks back on the memory. “She recognized me as her mate as well. But her Alpha refused to release her.” 

“What?” My father’s anger reflects my own. It’s against everything we believe in for an Alpha to deny a wolf their mate. 

“As I said, Alphas didn’t want to lose their Guardians to other packs. Or, in this instance, to another male. Jinelle and I made a plan for her to escape, but he found out about it. He caught me trying to get her out of the castle.” King Ailduin clenched his teeth. “He marked her right in front of me, forcing the mate mark on her.” 

Cara gasped, her hand flying to her neck. I was immediately at her side, wrapping my arms around her, pulling her face to my chest. I could feel her trembling slightly. This story was much too close to home for her. 

King Ailduin stops, frowning. “It happened a long time ago.” He said, not understanding Cara’s response. 

I look up at him. “Maybe for you it was a long time ago, but Cara was kidnapped recently by a male wolf trying to force the mate bond on her.” 

“And you were able to resist?” King Ailduin asks her. 

“I’m not 18 yet, and Artemis is strong. She fought the venom in our system until Rik found us.” 

King Ailduin nods. “Jinelle was of age, so the mate bond was forged. The Alpha left immediately, telling every pack he came into contact with that I tried to steal his mate and Guardian to obtain power to overthrow the wolves. After that, the alliance was fractured. If Jinelle had not pleaded with me, it would have been war. But I was not willing to risk losing her.

It was not until you, Alpha Anders, that any pack has done something with or for my kind.” 

“I see no reason why we cannot rebuild our alliance, King Ailduin. I think we have much to learn from each other. And I’m certain that the two guardians that I have in my pack would appreciate having the Fae return to the days of chronicling their lives.” Dad looks at Clint as he says this. 

“Absolutely. I’d like to know what I’m missing in my history, and I’d like to know how it applies to Cara.” 

“Please, call me Ailduin. I would be honored to renew the chronicles of the 

Guardians. Aolis could learn and become the scribe for you. It would be good for him. As for how this affects Cara and Artemis, I have many questions. But today has been a long day and I have given you much to think about. I will have a guard show you to your rooms. You are welcome to join me for dinner or I can have food brought up to you.” 

We all look at each other. “I think food in our rooms would be good. We should regroup and think through everything you’ve told us today before coming with more questions tomorrow.” 

Ailduin smiles again. “Very well.” He claps his hands, and two guards walk in. ” My guards will show you to your rooms. If you need anything at all, please do not hesitate to ask.” 

We all thank Ailduin and follow the guards to our rooms. There is so much to think about, so much that I didn’t know or understand before today. When we ge to our rooms, Dad stops before we can enter. “Let’s take an hour and then mee in my room. I’d like to talk through everything that we’ve learned today. We ca do that while we eat.” 

We all agree. I check Cara’s room before walking to my own. What a day.
