The Broken Warrior’s Daughter

Chapter 0587

Aweek after we laid Luna Estella to rest, Calista gave birth to their son, Rik. Anders and Calista allowed Lily and | to be there immediately after the birth. Lily went straight to Calista, hugging her while she laid on the bed, holding her child. | gave Anders a slap in the shoulder and hugged my dearest friend. | know this is one of the proudest days of his life. It's made even more precious knowing what happened in Shadow Falls a week ago,

| was worried that Lily would suffer after hearing the news that her friend had passed. She took it hard, but thankfully she’s early enough in her pregnancy that it didn’t affect our little girl.

Yep, that’s right. We're having a girl. Lily and | are already thinking of names. | think Lily was worried at first, that | wanted a boy, but honestly, I’m thrilled. | know she'll be daddy’s little girl in no time. Donovan is just as taken with our little girl as | am. All he talks about is how he’s going to take her for runs in the forest and show her the pack lands.

Patrick and Olivia join us in the delivery room, and everyone takes turns holding our next Alpha, Lily and Olivia cooing over him. As Lily is holding him, she looks at Calista. “He’s already got his father’s dark head of hair.” | see Anders smirking at this.

“He does but wait until he looks at you. He’s got my eyes.” Calista says, smiling at her mate. Anders leans in and kisses her softly.

Aweek later, Lily and | are back on protection duty as Anders brings in our neighboring Alphas to celebrate Rik’s birth. I’m not thrilled to have Lily on protection duty. Her stomach has been growing and our little girl is an active baby. Andra and Donovan say we're still okay, but it won’t be long before any significant activity will beca risk for the baby.

Alpha Eric and Zoey come, bringing their three children. Surprisingly, Alpha Christopher comes and brings his daughter, Anastasia. His eyes still look haunted, but | can tell he is trying for his daughter. Leander didn’t come, but his Beta brought Liam. Anders explained to the young Alpha that he and Rik will grow up as friends and remain allies in the future so our packs can continue to thrive together.

As Anders and Calista stand on the stage, introducing Rik to our pack members and the neighboring Alphas, Lily and | take our positions on either side of them.

While there is a lingering sadness among the Alphas, overall, the weekend was relaxed and enjoyable. There were a lot of children running around and Lily seemed to have fun talking about babies and the joys and difficulties of parenthood.

Since | was watching over Lily, | heard Luna Zoey telling the story of Alpha Eric who apparently can’t change a diaper without gagging. Zoey has all the girls doubled over laughing at her reenactment of Eric’s gag reflex when he’s changing a diaper. “I mean seriously! Tell the man to go into a battle and he can slay an army, chcovered in gore and not blink an eye. Ask him to change a diaper and the minute he sees a bit of poop he’s practically hanging over a toilet.

| notice that Lily makes tto speak with Liam, and it’s the only tall weekend that | see him almost smile. After that. | realize that Lily has developed a bond with Liam. She’s not necessarily a surrogate mother to him, but she gives him someone to talk to when he feels like he doesn’t have anyone else.

The next couple of months before our little girl is born, | let Donovan cforward every night. He’s as excited as | am to meet our pup, and since he can’t spend twith Andra, this helps him to feel better. I’ve noticed that our daughter responds to our touch and Donovan's purring. So, every night, Donovan comes forward, purring to our daughter and then when she settles, | talk to her. | tell her about my day. about how wonderful her mother is and about how great her future is going to be.

My mate becomes increasingly grumpy. She can’t spar, but Anders has her lead training morning and afternoon to keep her busy. However, as the days go by, even that is too much for her. In a bizarre twist, my mate who only loves apple pie, which she says is what | smell like, suddenly only wants brownies. I’m not sure if | should be concerned that the scent that my mate used to love has suddenly changed.! ask her if there is another person in the pack that smells like brownies, but she assuresshe still loves my scent. She just has a pregnancy craving for brownies.

Thankfully, our Luna is the best. She makes brownies every tLily wants them and I’m equal parts amazed and horrified that my mate can sit down and eat an entire pan of Calista’s brownies. And since she wants them at least twice a week, that’s quite a feat, even for a werewolf.

Lily and | finally decide on a name, Cara. Lily had been researching names in her spare time. She stumbled across the name Cara and found out that it means “beloved’. We both decided that, since we know our little girl is going to be loved beyond belief by both her parents, it is a fitting name.
