The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper novel Chapter 170

Chapter 0170 

‘I’ll do anything for you, just tell me what I need to do.‘ 

‘Open your eyes.‘ 

I didn’t realize that my eyes were closed, but as soon as she says it, I open them. I’m no longer in the forest. I’m in a room, lying on a bed. As I look around, I see that I am attached to some sort of line that is dripping something into my body. I immediately reach up and rip it out. I pull it to my nose. It smells like saline. I don’t smell any poison or wolfsbane in it. 

I feel weak, but I need to figure out where I am. This room isn’t the one I’ve been living in at the vampire coven. This one feels softer, nicer…safer. What a weird word for a bedroom. Clean, tidy, comfortable, those are words to describe a room. Safe is not one of them and I am not safe. I don’t know where I am, but I know that I have to get out of here before someone finds me awake. 

I start to get up when I realize that I am naked. Yep, definitely not safe. Looking down at my body, I can still see the remnants of that last night in the feeding room. The wounds are healing and don’t look like they will scar as badly as some of the others. Maybe Alessia is getting stronger and is helping me to heal. 

Before I have a chance to figure out what I want to do, I hear footsteps in the hallway. I immediately lay back down, pulling the blankets back up and over me to cover myself as much as I can. I have no intention of meeting a stranger naked. 

When he walks in, he is a giant of a man. His size and build immediately remind me of my father. His hair is a sandy blond color. It probably gets lighter when he’s in the sun. His eyes are a beautiful shade of green. It reminds me of when my mother and I would find wild sage in the woods. And his scent. Oh goddess, his scent is of the forest. It’s the same scent that pulled me out of my hellish nightmare and placed me into the forest. It’s wild and clean and familiar. I take a deep breath, wanting to smell more and that’s when I get the scent. The scent of an alpha. 

I catch the whiff of his alpha aura just before his eyes latch onto mine. I immediately grab hold of the fear that is threatening to drown me and pull it back. I know how to manage fear. I’ve become adept at managing my terror. I shut it down. I pull all emotions back and wait for what is to come. I know I can handle it, no matter what it is. 

He has stopped walking and is just looking at me. “You’re awake.” 

It’s not a question, so I don’t answer him. I continue to wait, to see what fate has

in store for me now. 

He watches me as he slowly moves toward me, as if he’s afraid to spook me. “My name is Liam. You stumbled into my pack over a week ago. You were near death and my doctor has been taking care of you.” His eyes track to my arm that is bleeding from where I ripped the catheter out. I swear I can hear him sigh. 

“We were giving you IV fluids and some liquid nutrition as you were dehydrated and malnourished when you arrived. You were also low on blood and your blood. platelets were low, which is probably why your blood isn’t clotting. Here.” He goes to take my arm and I instinctively jerk it back, holding it against my body.. 

He growls softly at me. “I’m not a leech. Your blood is of no interest to me, except I don’t want you bleeding out after I’ve expended so much energy to keep you alive.” He puts his hand out. “Give me your arm.” It’s not a request and I don’t really have any other options.
