Chapter 262
The Broken Warrior’s Daughter
Chapter 0262
âShe can direct her aura.â I say.
Angel turns and looks at me, before turning back to Ailduin. âItâs true. Is that
new? I have the ability to direct my aura around some while pushing it out onto others.â
Ailduinâs eyes go wide. âShow me.â
Angel shrugs. âI already did. When I pushed my aura on you earlier, I wrapped it around Liam so he wouldnât feel it.â
I frown. âWhen did you push your aura on him?â I ask.
âWhen he was ready to fight you. I pushed it at him to get him to back down.â So thatâs what I felt. It was a strange, warm sensation. I had thought it was coming from Ailduin, even though it didnât feel threatening. It felt, safe. And apparently, it was.
I look up at Ailduin. âIs that why you backed down?â
Heâs looking at Angel again. âI honestly donât know. I know it forced me to refocus on her, but I donât know if thatâs because I felt the punch, and it was a punch, or if it was me being forced. Weâll have to test that this weekend.â
âWhat else?â He asks, looking at Angel again.
âI can taste deceit. Cara and Clint donât have that ability.â
âYou still have it.â He says quietly and his eyes go glassy.
I can feel Angelâs confusion through the bond. âStill have what?â She asks.
âAolis, document this. I gave Jinelle the gift of being able to taste deceit. Her Alpha was lying to her and using their mate bond to manipulate her. I didnât know that it would last for more than the one generation, but your wolf spirit has assimilated it into your being.â He chuckles softly. âYou are so amazing.â
I feel myself getting tense again, before Angelâs hand starts itâs trek up and down my arm. The calming motion does not go unnoticed by Ailduin and he looks at
âI can appreciate and value Angel as a Guardian without wanting to take her as my mate. The Fae are not gifted mates as often as werewolves, so we revere the bond, treasure it. I would never take that from someone.â
Inod, but Iâm thankful that Angel doesnât stop her calming touch.
SONOO SI
âHave you noticed anything else.â
Itâs Rik that speaks up this time. âYes. Based on our conversation last year, the Guardianâs power is not transferred to the Alpha when the mate bond is
completed.â
âThat is correct.â Ailduin says.
âYet, both Liam and I have enhanced abilities and both of us felt a power surge when we completed the bond.â
Ailduinâs eyes go wide. âYou experience the gifts of the Guardians?â He asks.
âYes, but not to their extent, or at least, I donât think so.â Rik says.
âBesides being stronger and faster, I can also taste deceit now.â I tell him.
He stares at all of us for a good couple of minutes. âI would like to test this while I am here as well. This is definitely the first time that anything like this has been documented. I wonder if itâs because of the frequency of the reincarnation orâ¦â âWe think itâs because the bond was created willingly.â Angel says.
Cara nods.
Ailduin turns to Aolis. âYou have given us much to consider and document. I would like to take the rest of today to ponder what has been said here. Would it be agreeable to everyone if we were to reconvene tomorrow morning? Iâll have a list of tests Iâd like to try.
Everyone agreed and we broke away. I needed to have a moment with my mate. My emotions are in turmoil and I need to get them under control.
We were shown to our rooms and I pulled my mate into our room, needing some time alone with her.
