The Broken Warriors Daughter Chapter 196-He turns to look at me. “I did.”novelbin | frown. “You caught a bear and brought it to Cara and Clint?” | ask. Why wouldn’t he take it to his pack?
| see Rik lean back in his chair, a smirk on his face. Liam scowls at him before turning back to me. “Cyran killed it for Artemis.” | look at Cara who is looking at Liam. | don’t understand. Why would he do that if Cara is mated to Rik.
“Liam was pursuing Cara as a love interest.” Rik states, still smirking at Liam and earning a growl.
“Rik!” Cara admonishes him.
Jealousy flares but | don’t really know what to do with it. First, as strange as is it, Artemis is Alessia’s daughter. Plus, she’s strong and confident, everything I’m not. | can understand why Liam would want someone like Cara. It just reminds me of all the reasons that he wouldn’t want me.
Liam takes my hand, pulling it to his mouth for a kiss. “It was before | met you. | told you things were becoming overwhelming. | hadn’t found my mate and | wanted a strong Luna to stand by my side, someone to help me carry the burden. of being an Alpha. But Cara is mated to Rik and I’m glad they are together and happy.” He tells me.
‘He’s being honest. Alessia tells me.
It doesn’t change my feelings of inferiority, and | don’t even know why | care. It’s not like | ever wanted to be a Luna, or even mated to an Alpha. It’s just the thought of Liam being with someone else hurts my heart. ‘Mine too.‘ Alessia agrees softly.
| nod and go back to my food, but | can’t stomach the thought of eating any more. So, | just pick at it and push it around on my plate.
When everyone’s done eating, | grab plates and take them to the kitchen. | turn to walk back to the table, when Liam takes my hand and pulls me back to the foyer, away from prying eyes and ears. He cups my face in his hands. “Hey, | need you to know that there is nothing other than friendship or something that feels like a brother and sister between me and Cara. My feelings for her are nothing compared to my feelings for you.” I shrug, refusing to make eye contact, but he’s not having it. He growls, taking my chin between his finger and thumb. “Do | need to remind you of the effect that you have on me little angel?” “It’s ok, | get it…” I’m interrupted as he lifts me off the ground by my thighs, forcing me to wrap them around him as he pushes me against the wall. His mouth on mine is hot and needy, demanding that | give in to him. His hands are in my hair, tugging and holding my head at the angle he wants to get access to my mouth. He’s using one of his legs to help hold me up while he ravages my mouth.
When | don’t immediately submit to his demands, he growls, nipping at my lip until | give him entrance. When | do, he devours me, searing me with his need and desire. My hands go around his neck, holding on as he sends my body into a torrent of aching hunger. | feel like I’m drowning and he’s my lifeboat.
When he pulls away, we’re both panting. “Don’t doubt me.” He growls as | slide. down his body, putting my feet back on the floor. He takes my hand and puts on the front of his jeans. “This is how much | want you, little angel.” | have to admit, if that’s an indication of how much he wants me, then he really wants me.
| swallow hard. “Come on, let’s get back before they come looking for us.” He says leaning in and kissing me again before standing and guiding me to walk in front of him. I’m beginning to realize that this is how he hides how aroused he is for me.
Just for me.
