The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 102

“My hesitation was more about me seeing the difference between you and Amelia. I know sisters are different, but you’re both Alphas, you were raised by the same parents, and you’re both good, strong women. However…”

He pauses, looking down at his hands before making fists and looking back up at me. “She would never have trusted me like that. Not even two years later. She doesn’t and she may never have that level of trust in me.

He huffs out a breath. “I envy you,” he says to Hunter. “I envy both of you for what you have, what I could have had if I had stood my ground two years ago. But I didn’t, and I have to live with that every day. When we saw you at your father’s pack, I didn’t truly understand the difference. I do now. And I wanted both of you to know that Amelia and I both stand behind you. The law needs to be changed. Our mates and our daughters deserve better.”

“Thank you. Alpha. And for what it’s worth, I noticed that Luna Amelia didn’t feel the pull of my Alpha command. She noticed it too. I hope that helps,” Hunter says to him.

He nods and turns, seeing Amelia waiting for him. I’m glad to see my sister, reaching her hand out, beckoning her mate to her. He responds instantly.

“Congratulations, Sophie. I’m very happy to hear that you and Alpha Hunter are expecting,” she

says to me.

“Thank you,” I say, leaning into my mate. “I hope our children can grow up together and be good friends like we were Amelia.”

“I’d like that.” she says, before she and Calvin turn and head out.

Hunter and I follow, finding my parents.

“Oh, sweetheart. I’m so proud of you, both of you,” my father says, hugging me. “What a strong Alpha female you are,” he says proudly.

“She gets that from me,” my mother says, and I turn to hug her, laughing.

“Goddess save me from strong–willed women,” my father says to Hunter, but he’s smiling as he says it.

“You love every minute of it,” my mother teases him.

“Yes. I do,” he says, smiling fondly at my mother.

“So do 1.” Hunter says, holding out his hand to me. I walk to him instantly, letting him wrap his arm around me as we face my parents.

“You know they won’t heed the warning,” my father says to Hunter, turning serious.

“I know. But I also know that between my mate and I, we won’t lose,” Hunter says, looking at me proudly

“No, we will not.” I say, smiling up at him.

“Let me know what you need from us. Robin has Aiden on one side, I have Alaric on one side. If you need my pack, or my resources, you have them.”

“Thank you. Alpha.” Hunter says, and we make our way to the car. Hunter keeps me close as the other Alphas are milling around, giving us angry, aggressive looks.

“I’ll see you in just over a week,” Alpha Robin says quietly, watching the other Alphas. “Nikki will be turning 18.

“We’ll see you soon then.”

“Alpha Hunter, Luna Sophie. I admit, I wasn’t sure what to expect from today, but it has been very intriguing indeed. I’d like to come visit your pack, get to know you better, Luna. I’m not sure if Alpha Hunter told you, but I was mated to his sister,” Alpha Ezra says.

“Yes. he did.”

He nods, looking sad. “She would have liked you,” he says.

“Yes, she would have,” Hunter agrees. “You’re welcome any time, Alpha Ezra.”

“I appreciate that. I’ll be in touch.”

When we get to the car, Kayce is there, waiting.

“About fucking time. Let’s go. I need to get back and mark my mate before one of these assholes

tries to take her from me.

Hunter

I’m not sure who wanted to get home faster, me or Kayce. I’ve never felt the desperate need to be inside a woman like I’m feeling with Sophie. Maybe it’s because she’s feeling the same and our combined need is nearly overwhelming me. I almost skipped having a pack meeting when we

returned. However, I know the entire pack was on edge with this committee meeting and I need to let them know that I’m still their Alpha and other than monitoring the borders, we’re business as usual.

I got through that meeting as quickly as possible, answering a few questions before nodding to Lucas and Kinsley that I needed to go.
