The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper
Chapter 386

Chapter 0386 

Eli and I went to our room early. This weekend, while taxing emotionally, has been good for us. It’s the most time we’ve been able to spend together in weeks and when we return to our pack, we’ll have to get right back to long, tiring days. 

I keep my promise from earlier and finish what I started. It feels good to reconnect with my mate, to be able to shut out the world and let it just be him and me for a couple of hours. 

The next morning, we both wake feeling refreshed and reconnected. We join everyone downstairs for breakfast before starting to work on pooling our 

Guardian strengths. 

Rik wasn’t happy about having Cara participate, so Ailduin had me and Angel work together. 

“Angel, since you’ve done this with Cara, let’s see if you can direct Grace’s power as well.” 

Angel walks up to me, taking my hand. “Ready?” 

I nod, looking at Rik’s warriors that volunteered to be part of our experiment. Ailduin tells us to start with half of the warriors being protected by Angel and the other half getting my aura. 

“I want you to push out like you did with Trevor to start. Let Angel feel your aura, let her manipulate it then push it out slowly like you did before.” 

I do, and it’s a strange feeling letting Angel control my aura, almost like it’s being molded like clay. Ailduin has us move around, picking and choosing 

individuals here and there to be protected, working Angel’s gift at the same time 

as mine. 

When he calls for a break, he paces while we go sit in our mates‘ laps. 

“We’ve been using one Guardian’s strengths to manipulate another and that has worked well. But I’d like to see if a Guardian can pull a gift from another Guardian.” He says, making us all look at each other in confusion. 

“What do you mean Ailduin?” Rik asks. 

He turns to Liam and Angel. “You have my gift of being able to detect a lie. Both of you have it, correct?” They nod. 

He turns to me and Eli. “I’d like to see i 

then detect a lie.” 

Grace can pull on that strength and can 

I look at Angel “You know when someone is lying?” 

“Yes, it tastes…” She’s cut off by Ailduin. 

“Don’t tell her. Let’s see if she can figure it out on her own. 

When we’ve rested, Angel and I stand back up. This time we face each other and hold hands. 

I look at Ailduin. “Okay, what do I do?” 

“Well, I’m not exactly sure. This is uncharted territory, but I want you to feel like you want to tell if someone is lying. Have Maia reach out to Alessia.” He looks at Angel. 

“Alessia, you will try to push your gift to Maia.” 

Both wolves are forward as we begin. I close my eyes, trying to focus on finding at lie. 

“My name is Ailduin.” Nothing 

“I am a Fae King.” Nothing. 

“I rejected my mate.” I get a funny taste in my mouth, my mouth screwing up. I open my eyes and Angel is looking at me. 

“Is that….metal?” I ask as Angel’s face breaks into a huge smile. 

“YES! Lies taste metallic.” 

“It’s gross.” 

“Now that you know what you are looking for, let’s continue.” 

We do this a few more times and the taste gets stronger each time I taste it. 

“Before we switch, I’d like to see if you can pull from Liam as well.” Ailduin says. 

Liam switches positions with Angel, holding both my hands. I hear Eli grumbling behind me. “Shh, you know I love you, Eli.” I tell him before closing my eyes. 

Maia reaches out to Cyran. I tilt my head. “Is that the Alpha in you that feels different than Angel?” 

I open my eyes and see Liam, his eyebrow raised. “I have no idea.” 

“What does it feel like?” Ailduin asks. 

I close my eyes again. “Angel’s is….softer, lighter. Liam’s is darker, harder. I’m not sure I’m explaining it well, but it’s different. Cyran is very powerful.”

I hear Louis growling behind me. “You’re still the only wolf for me, Louis.” I tell him before I feel Eli’s hands on my hips. I turn looking at him over my shoulder, but his eyes are on Liam. 

“I have my own mate, Eli. I’m not trying to take yours.” Eli doesn’t move.
