The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104

I look over her body. I hadn’t paid attention to where Shaw and I were biting her, and obviously she wasn’t paying attention either, but she’s right. There’s no hiding our possessive love.

“Does it bother you?” I ask her, running my fingers over a particularly deep bite mark on her ass cheek.

“No. The pack knows I’m yours and that you are mine. Why shouldn’t they see the evidence of that. It’s already on our necks,” she says smiling proudly.

I growl possessively, before taking her hand and walking to the training grounds. When we arrive downstairs, I’m not surprised that Alpha Kayce and Allison, or most likely now, Luna Allison, aren’t in attendance.

“I wasn’t expecting you, Alpha,” Lucas says as we walk up.

“Why’s that?” I ask, leaving Sophie and moving to the front of the

group.

“Uh, you weren’t exactly quiet last night Alpha,” one of the warriors

says.

“And it’s not like it’s not obvious that you were up most of the night, Alpha,” another says, gesturing at my bite and scratch covered torso. They’re all unwilling to meet my gaze and they all have smirks on their faces.

“I make no apologies for making my mate happy,” I say, making them snort. I can feel Sophie’s embarrassment, but it’s not about them having heard her as much as it’s about them hearing her and seeing the evidence of her claim all over my body.

‘Are you okay?‘ I ask in the mind link. It doesn’t feel like it’s a bad thing, but I want to make sure.

‘Yes. I guess I need to try and be quieter next time and maybe try to control myself a little more. But it’s really not my fault that I’m happy to be yours or that you feel so good when I’m riding you,‘ she says, finally looking up at me.

‘I have no problem with you telling or showing the world how much you love me,‘ I say, smiling at her.

“Well, it’s not like you were the only ones,” Letti says, huffing. “I was next door to Allison and Alpha Kayce last night. They didn’t sleep at all so neither did I,” she says grumpily.

“I can move you if they decide to stay another night, but I’m guessing Kayce will want to return to his pack, especially now that he’s found his Luna,” I say.

I watch Letti’s face fall at that. From what I understand, she and Allison have been together a while. I guess she feels like she’s losing a

friend.

We go through training, and I pair off with Sophie again, now it’s not only to train her, but also, I won’t allow her to spar with anyone else while she’s carrying my pup. I won’t risk injuring my child. I’m very careful during our training, only tagging her on her hips, legs, and

arms, avoiding her stomach completely, but I can feel the difference in Sophie today. She’s feeling her Alpha power. Maybe it was standing up to the committee together, or maybe it was her standing up to them on her own, whatever it was, she’s attacking and blocking me with confidence this morning. Since she’s still early on in her pregnancy, I don’t limit her moves, but once she begins showing, we’ll have to modify her training program. I’m not so foolish to think that I’ll be able to convince my mate to stop sparring, at least until our pup is so large that it becomes impossible for her, but she’ll need to modify her training because eventually her movements will be limited, and I don’t her hurting herself or our pup.

After training, we head inside to have breakfast and find Kayce piling food on a plate.

“Where’s Allison?”

“Sleeping,” he says with a proud smile. I look at his neck and he pulls his shirt away.

“Nice mate mark.”

“Thanks, yours looks pretty fresh too. Your mate re–claiming you?” he asks as Sophie walks up. “Ahhh, you’ve both been re–claimed I see.”

“How is Allison?” Sophie asks him, coming up and wrapping her arm around my waist. I love how simple and easy it is for her to touch me.

Kayce’s smile is that of a man in love. I know the look well. I’ve seen it on my face every day since I marked Sophie.

“She’s perfect.”

Chapter 104

Sophie

I thought I would be more embarrassed by the jokes the warriors made about my bite marks and scratches that are all over Hunter and which he is proudly displaying. I didn’t exactly hide my bite marks, but I didn’t flaunt them either. However, rather than feeling embarrassed, I felt proud, possessive. This man is mine and everyone should know it. Although, maybe I need to be a bit quieter in the future.
