The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper novel Chapter 345

Chapter 0345 

After Eli and Carlos went hunting, I turned to Maddie who had just returned from the garden. “Can you begin to make a list of items we need to stock the pantry. Eli and Carlos are going back out for meat, but I know we’re lacking in condiments and I’m sure many other things.” 

“Of course, Luna. Happy to help.” 

I begin to interview the new omegas that are streaming into the kitchen. Those that had no cooking experience but have some cleaning experience are now joining us to get assignments in the packhouse. 

I start with kitchen and dining room clean up, adding the community bathrooms on this floor to the list. I find someone that was a Lead Omega in her previous pack and set her up with a helper to go room by room in the packhouse to find out how many people are in each room and what supplies they need and cleaning rounds they would like. 

As with the pantry, the linens and towel supply are dreadfully low. We’ll have to set up a rotation of washing linens and towels so that we don’t run out. I assign another person to begin working on what that rotation will look like. Then we get started on making sure that all the currently unused towels and linens are clean, as many are just in a pile on the floor. 

I have Maddie add cleaning supplies to our list of needed items. We’re making good progress and I’m a sweaty but happy mess when Eli, Carlos and another man I don’t recognize come back from their hunt. 

Once I get the assignments made for cleaning the fresh animals brought in and take a moment to tease my mate, I send him on his way. 

I pull Cammy and another omega with extensive, but different cooking experience over and begin talking about the meals we can cook with the meat that we have. We come up with meal plans for the next week and I ensure that the amount of meat that will be fed to the pack members will increase. We have Maddie add the missing ingredients to her list as we go. 

“Luna, if I may,” Autumn, the omega with cooking experience says. Her sister, Summer, is the Lead Omega I sent to inventory the rooms. They are from the same pack and ran together to escape. 

“We could get egg–laying hens and build a coop near the packhouse. The women that look after the garden could look after the hens and young pups always like to collect eggs. If we get them at various ages, then we’d have a consistent flow of

egg layers. And if we decided that we had enough eggs at any point, we could always let the chicks grow and have more of our own egg layers or decide we want some as meat. It would be another way that we could be self–sufficient.” 

“Excellent idea.” I have Maddie make a note to research this. Without a computer, it may be difficult unless there are some local hen sellers. 

As dinner time gets closer, I have the omegas begin plating food, while others set the tables for dinner. As we are about done, a couple of women come in carrying small baskets of flowers. 

“Hello Luna. I’m Victoria and this is Ivy. We work with Maddie in the garden, and she told us what you are doing here. We’re so excited to finally have structured mealtimes that we thought it would be nice to have centerpieces for the tables to celebrate, so we picked some flowers from the forest to put at the tables.” 

“They’re perfect. Thank you both.” We place them on the tables, just as the warriors begin coming in. They immediately see the tables set and stop, looking 

at me. 

“Have a seat everyone. Tonight, we are having pulled pork, roasted rosemary potatoes and steamed spinach for dinner.” 

Everyone looks excited as they sit. I mind link Eli to come join us. There are more people tonight than there were last night. Word has spread that there is food available or perhaps they just want to see their Alpha and Luna. Either way, we have to set up additional, makeshift tables to seat everyone.
