The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper
Chapter 290

Chapter 0290 

Three years later 

It’s amazing how much changes in three years. Two days after Sarah and Dustin officially adopted Sienna, Sarah found out she was pregnant. It worked out okay because her pregnancy was very difficult. As expected, she was on bed rest for most of her pregnancy. Dustin would take Sienna with him to his office or I would keep her with me, having set up a kid’s play area in my office. Sometimes, Dustin would carry Sarah to her desk when she got too stir–crazy and needed a break from sitting in her bed all day. At least being in the packhouse, he and I were always close and could monitor her. 

The doctor told her she’d have to have a C–Section because her internal scarring was too severe to allow for a baby to pass through the birthing canal. And five months after adopting Sienna, they welcomed baby Jackson Dustin Roberts into the world. They named him after our previous Gamma, since he had given his life protecting Sarah and the others who were in the bunker that day. 

Cara and Rik finally had their second baby. I know Cara was frustrated with Rik’s unwillingness to have a second child. After everything that she went through with Lily, it was amazing how simple her second pregnancy was. After delivering a healthy baby boy, Cohen Donovan Forte, a year ago, they are due to deliver their third child, another boy, any day now. 

Rik finally had a talk with Aolis after becoming uncomfortable with his fascination with Lily. Aolis told him that he is Lily’s mate and he’s been visiting the pack regularly ever since. At first, I think they were concerned, but seeing Aolis interact with Lily, it’s obvious that he feels the mate bond. Everything he does is to make Lily happy. He will spend hours with her and never become bored or irritated with her, even though she is ten years younger than he is. The mate bond between them makes sense. His father, Ailduin, was mated to a Guardian. years ago. Lily is showing signs of being a Guardian already even though she hasn’t gotten her wolf. This time, there is no concern that she will be taken from Aolis. Rik and Cara have no problem with their daughter being mated to Fae royalty, but they are adamant that Lily will have to agree with the mate bond and choose Aolis as her mate. 

We finally connected with Clint and Donovan’s Guardian spirit. To say she’s a spitfire would be an understatement. Cara and I loved her immediately. She brings a whole new level to the Guardians and our continued work together has increased our power and strength.

With that strength has come a new responsibility. It started almost a year ago, after the war with the hunters. Audra had given us warning that the hunters were coming, but it was almost another year before we finally had the hunter war. Liam brought Audra to the pack and gave her a place to stay while she recovered. She stayed mostly to herself and then one day not long after we defeated the hunters, she just vanished. I guess as a panther, being a solitary creature, she struggled having the pack around all the time. 

The war with the hunters showcased our strength as Guardians to all the supernaturals. It was after the war that the requests for our interventions started to come in. Ailduin had been correct in his prediction. We were being asked to pass judgement on issues between the supernatural species. 

So, we set up a council. There is always two of the three Guardians required on the council, but we also have included an appointee from the vampire, fae and shifter communities. More recently, we’ve been petitioned to include a siren and a dragon but so far, they’ve been included in the shifter community, although their needs are different from the average shifter. We’ve also been petitioned to include a representative from the angel and demon communities. If I’m being honest, I had no clue that there were so many different types of supernaturals out there. All of these petitions are under review and will be voted on at the next council meeting. 

And then, there’s me and Liam. We had four children back–to–back. First was our son, Richard Clint, then only six months later we welcomed our daughter, Leana Estella, named after Liam’s parents. It worked out that I was in between pregnancies for the hunter war. There’s no way Liam would have let me fight if I was pregnant. But, we needed all three Guardians, so thankfully, it worked out. Six months after the hunter war, we welcomed our second son, Alexander Conal and seven months after that, we welcomed our third son, Cayden Andrew. Some people might say that we were having children too quickly and too close together. Perhaps there is some validity to that. The doctors sure gave Liam and I a hard time about it. After our fourth child, we were both tired. It’s a lot to take care of four children two years old and younger. For over a year, I was nursing two children at the same time.
