The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 112

Chapter 112

“Alpha, did our Luna let you know that she has an appointment at nine o’clock tomorrow morning to have your first evaluation of her

pregnancy?”

“It must have slipped her mind but thank you for letting me know. We‘ 11 be there,” I say, excited to find out more about our pup.

She chuckles. “That’s what she said. I’ll warn you, it’s early, but we should at least be able to hear a heartbeat.”

A heartbeat! I thank Dr. Felicity and turn back to my work, trying to focus while still excited about the idea of hearing my son or daughter’s heart beating tomorrow.

‘We should listen tonight. I might be able to hear it,’ Shaw says, as excited as I am.

‘Definitely.’

While I’m looking over the Committee meeting agenda, I pull up the paperwork to petition the changing of the law that allows she-wolves to be claimed publicly. I begin going through it and marking the changes that I want to see made and penalties for continuing with this practice.

By the time I’m finished with my first draft, my eyes are blurry and I’m missing my mate, so I walk out to find them, seeing Letti and Nikki on the back porch.

Chapter 112

“Good afternoon, ladies. How are we today?” I ask them.

“Hello, Alpha. We’re good. Have you seen Allison?” Nikki asks.

“I’m sure she’s fine, Nikki, but no. They haven’t emerged yet.”

She nods, still looking worried. “Is there anything you’d like for your birthday, Nikki? Eighteen is a special birthday. Anyone we should invite to your party?”

“I don’t need a party, Alpha. Actually, I’d almost prefer not to have one, given the bad connotation that it’s had for so long,” she says.

“Well, you’ll have to take that up with my mate. She’s planning a party for you, but Nikki, there are no public claimings in my pack. No matter if you find your mate or not, I won’t allow it. You can just enjoy your birthday as it was always meant to be, a celebration of you.”

“Thank you, Alpha.”

“I will say, though, that there are several unmated Alphas who would like to be here, in the event that you are their mate. Would you be opposed to me inviting Alpha Dutton, Alpha Ezra, and Alpha Robin to attend?”

I watch her eyes dilate when I mention Robin. “I thought Alpha Robin was already planning to attend?”

“He invited himself, but it’s your party, Nikki. If you don’t want him here, I’ll tell him to stay home.”

“You swear you won’t allow anyone to claim me?”

“My word as an Alpha. The only way someone will claim you is if you allow it. It will be your choice.”

She nods. “Okay then, yes, I would be okay with the three of them. But not the others,” she says quickly.

“Good, because none of the other unmated Alphas are welcome on my pack lands anyway,” I say, smiling at her.

I’ve just walked back inside, ready to call Alpha Robin to confirm that Nikki officially invited him, when I run into Kayce and Allison. Allison looks just like Sophie did the day after our mating, happy, overwhelmed, and glowing. Kayce probably looks more like I did, smug, happy, and proud.

I send Allison in search of the twins and ask Kayce if he’ll look over the law change that I’ve started.

“Send it to me. Also, you should know that Allison is going to ask Letti to come with us. Apparently, they are closer than I realized, having been on the run together for a while.”

I look at him. “You’ll keep her safe?”

He nods. “I’ve given my word to my mate, and I’m sure you understand how important that is.

“I absolutely do.”

“Tell me about the twins,” he says.

I give him the little bit of information that I know

“They’re not from around here, are they?” he asks

“I don’t think so. I have Lucas subtly looking into packs who have posted for missing she–wolves. I’m trying to find where they came from, but so far, we haven’t found notices of missing twins

“They probably didn’t want to alert the hunting Alphas that twins were out there. Talk about a hunt.”

“They’re lucky they found me when they did.”

“Yeah, if Aiden had caught them, their lives would have stayed the same as what you’re describing,” he says, just as our mates re–emerge with Nikki, Letti, and the twins.

“Letti is coming with us tomorrow, just so you know. She agreed.” Kayce says to me in an aside, not taking his eyes off of his mate. I haven’t taken my eyes off of mine either. Both of them look up, giving us sweet, perfect smiles.
