The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper novel Chapter 543

Chapter 0543 

His mate? Did he say I’m his mate? 

“How do you know?” 

“I’m 18. I knew the minute I saw you after my birthday. It was Monday morning, and you were straddling Lucas, defeating him in your sparring match. Donovan almost killed Lucas that day, seeing you like that.” 

I look at him, not sure if I believe him. 

“I turned 18 on a Friday. Anders and I went out all weekend looking for my mate. Little did I know that my little slip of a mate was in our pack but was underage and wouldn’t recognize me as her mate for another 

couple of months.” 

“So, the only reason you’ve been giving me attention is because I’m your mate?” 

“Yes and no. I was hoping I could get you to fall in love with me before you realized I was your mate. I thought I as doing a good job of it until this mess with Anna happened.” 

“What about me being a Guardian?” Did he fall in love with me because I’m a Guardian? 

He shrugs. “What about it? You hadn’t gotten your Guardian spirit when Donovan recognized you as our mate. I don’t care that you are a Guardian. But once Andra got her Guardian spirit, I knew I had to train 

you, help you to become the strong Guardian you were meant to be.” 

That’s true. I think back, remembering that first day when he started to show interest in me. Andra hadn’t 

received her Guardian spirit yet.. 

He looks at me, honesty shining in his eyes. “Everything I told you about how I feel about the mate bond 

was honest. You are my everything, Lily. No one will ever be more important to me than you. The mate 

bond made me feel love for you immediately. But I have fallen head over heels in love with you as a 

person. Getting to know you has been the most incredible experience of my life. You make me see things 

differently. You challenge me in ways I’ve never been challenged by anyone, except maybe Anders. You calm my mind and my soul, and it keeps my temper at bay. Everything about you draws me in and makes 

me want you more.” 

I close my eyes, forcing back the tears that want to come. “I’m scared, Clint. I never thought I would 

allow someone to hurt me the way that you did. Even if it wasn’t intentional, it hurt more than anything. 

ever has, including my father trying to sell me off to Alpha Mahli.” 

He nods. “I know, and I’m sorry that I hurt you, Lily bud. That was never my intention. Last weekend was the most amazing, special, memorable time in my life. And it was all because of you. Please don’t push 

me away. If you don’t believe me that we’re mates, at least give me a chance to prove to you that I mean what I say. Once you turn 18, you and Andra will know that everything I’m saying is true. Please, just come back to me Lily. Stop pushing me away. I can’t take it. I feel like I had everything I’ve ever wanted

in life and then it was snatched away from me in an instant.” 

I look at him for a long moment. “Okay, Clint.” 

He pats his chest. “Please come lay with me, Lily bud. Donovan’s not back yet, so he can’t purr in your 

ear, but I can at least rub your head.”
