The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper
Chapter 381

Chapter 0381 

When I think of fae royalty, King Ailduin is exactly what I’d expect. He is tall, at least 7 fro, his hair is white, even lighter than Angel’s, but not gray, just very white. His skin is pale but seems to glow giving him the look of someone in excellent health. And he walks with such elegance it’s almost as if he’s floatin 

His son, Aolis, is a smaller version of Ailduin. When I say small, I mean at 10 years old, he’s already over 5 feet tall, much taller than a normal human his age. Eli and I stand up to greet him. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to bow or curtsy, so I follow the example of the others and just shake his hand. 

“Guardian. It is good to meet you. May I have your name?” He says, holding my hand as he speaks to me. His touch has a strange warmth to it. It’s more than body heat, it’s feels more like a relaxing heat. I instantly feel calm. 

Maia pushes forward. “King Ailduin. I remember you, although most of my memories are vague. I am Maia and my human is Grace.” 

“Maia, Grace, it is good to meet you both. Cara mentioned that you have memories of Clint reading your Guardian line’s chronicles, but we have brought them just in case you decide you’d like to look them over while we are together this weekend.” 

Over dinner, Ailduin tells me of our Guardian line, descending from Aloysuis and that our Guardian has increased strength and the ability to mind link from long distances. We discuss Cara’s abilities and how they seem to have been passed down from her parents. And while she has them, they should be stronger at the source, namely me. 

“We weren’t able to get a complete assessment of Donovan’s power due to Clint’s paralysis. This weekend I would like to test your powers and I also hear you have a new power that I’d like to witness and test if you are agreeable.” 

“Yes. Anything you can teach me about my Guardian strengths would be helpful. I didn’t get Maia until I was 18, and she came to me with her Guardian spirit, so we’ve not really had a chance to explore our power too much.” 

“And, as long as everyone is comfortable, I’d like to see if we can continue the training we started with Clint and Donovan and have you draw from the other Guardians power to boost your own.” 

He turns to Eli. “After we have tested your mate’s powers, I’d like to test yours as well.” 

“Finally!” Liam says, rubbing his hands together. Eli just laughs at him. 

“We’d better include Trevor as well. You know he loves testing his strength against the Guardians.” Cara says to Rik, who nods his agreement. 

We finish dinner and make plans to meet first thing in the morning. As we relax outside, watching Rik’s wolves running in the forest, I can’t help but notice that Aolis makes a point to be near Cara. She doesn’t seem to mind, but I notice that Liam watches him too. I had also noticed that Liam made a point to ensure that Ailduin didn’t hug Angel too long when they arrived. She was the only one he hugged, and Liam got tense, but didn’t say anything. There are definitely some odd dynamics between the Guardians and the fae. 

Liam and Angel tell us about a strange visit they had from a supernatural. “King Urien came and pledged his loyalty to Angel and Cara.” Liam tells Ailduin. 

“The vampire king?” Ailduin asks. Both Rik and Liam nod. 

“We’ll make a note, but I would expect that if vampire royalty are coming to pledge their fealty to the Guardians, the other supernaturals won’t be far behind. Keep me informed and we can continue to document who and when the supernaturals swear their allegiance to you.”
