The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper novel Chapter 508

Chapter 0508 

“I may think I look good, but I’m glad to know I look good to you.” 

We arrive at the club and walk into the restaurant side. The music here is quieter, but it’s still loud, preparing you to go into the dance club side of the business. We get a table and order food. 

Dinner is actually enjoyable. We all get along well, and the conversation comes easily. I’ve not spent a lot of time with Anders, but I can see that his father has done a good job of training him to be the next Alpha. He’s good at putting you at ease, keeping the conversation going and the dynamics between him and Clint are fun to watch. They act like brothers, antagonizing yet still supporting each other. Cali and I laugh a lot during dinner and they both seem thrilled to have elicited our laughter and smiles. 

When we finish, it’s still a bit early to go to the club, so we get a high–top table at the bar. Since we’re at a shifter club, the drinking age is much younger than the human bars. It’s why we come here. 

“So Lily, why don’t you tell Calista that she should agree to go out with me. Anders says. 

“Cali can make up her own mind, Anders.” 

“You went out with Clint and that seemed to go well.” He retorts.

Cali turns to me. “You went out with Clint?” She looks offended. I hadn’t had a chance to tell her yet. 

“We had breakfast this morning. I haven’t had a chance to talk to you about it yet.” I give her a meaningful look. 

“I had a great time. I hope you did too, Lily bud.” Clint says. 

I turn to look at Clint. 

“Lily bud?” Cali asks. 

He smiles, but his eyes never leave mine. “It’s my name for Lily. She’s my Lily bud.” 

I look at Clint. “I’m not your anything.” I retort. 

“You’re my trainee, you’re my lab partner, you’re my study–buddy…should I go on?” 

I roll my eyes at him. 

“So, Calista Johns, you really won’t agree to go out with me?” Anders asks her. 

“Anders…” 

He holds up his hands, looking irritated. “Clint, can I see you for a moment.” He says and they walk away. 

“Oh my goddess. Do you think that I offended him?” Cali asks me. 

“I would have to say yes. He’s an Alpha. He’s not used to being turned down.” 

As we’re talking, the music in the bar turns off. Cali and I look around. 

“What’s going on?” 

It’s quiet for a moment, then we hear the sound of horrible singing. 

“Love, I get so lost sometimes 

Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart” 

“Oh my goddess, is that someone singing karoke? They’re terrible.” 

We look around. Anders has a microphone and is walking toward us. Clint is 

walking beside him, and he has a….is that a boombox that he’s carrying over his head? 

“When I want to run away, I drive off in my car 

But whichever way I go 

I come back to the place you are, Cali.” 

“Are they singing that song from ‘Say Anything‘?” She asks me. 

“Oh yeah. And Clint has the damn boombox. Where did he even get one? 

“Oh my goddess, Anders is so…” 

“Awful.” I finish for her. 

“Really, terribly awful.” She says. 

I know we’re both frowning, looking at him. 

I turn to Clint as Anders continues his assault on our ears. He has a smug look on his face, acting the perfect wingman to his best friend and Alpha. 

I shake my head at him and the brightest smile I’ve ever seen breaks across his. face. 

“In your eyes, Cali 

+15 BONDS 

The light, the heat (in your eyes) 

I am complete, Cali (in your eyes) 

I see the doorway (in your eyes) 

To a thousand churches, Cali (in your eyes) 

The resolution (in your eyes) 

Of all the fruitless searches (in your eyes)” 

Clint is singing the background ‘in your eyes‘. His voice is about a thousand times better than Anders who sounds like he’s tone deaf. 

“Oh, I see the light and the heat (in your eyes)
