The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 113

Chapter 113

Almost as if pulled to them, Kayce and I begin walking toward them. I notice the twins flinch as I step up, and I’m careful not to touch them, but I need to touch my mate.

“Hi,” I say to her. She smells like the outdoors, like the forest around us mixed with her orchid scent.

“Hi,” she says softly, coming to wrap her arms around my waist as I pull her to me. “I missed you.”

“I missed you, too.” From beside me, I can hear Kayce having a similar conversation with his mate, even though they’ve only been apart less than an hour. But they are newly mated.

“Did you have a nice time showing off our pack?” I love seeing those green eyes shining with her love for me.

“Yes. Tiffany and Tammi prefer staying closer to the packhouse, but they at least know where the boundaries are now.

”

She raises her hand to stroke my face, lifting up on her toes. I lean in. pressing my lips to hers, letting her guide the kiss since we have some skittish she–wolves around us. I’m surprised when she deepens the kiss, pressing herself against me, her orchid scent intensifying.

I growl, pulling away. “Sophie…”

“I told you I missed you,” she says, smiling unapologetically

“I hear we have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow morning.”

She nods. “I was planning to tell you earlier, but…I got distracted.” She grins at me, reminding me of our earlier time in my office.

“Yes, I have the bite marks to prove it,” I grin, hearing the twins suck in air.

I refocus, tucking Sophie against my side. “It’s nearly dinner time. How about all of us have dinner together. I hear we have some news to share and some of you will be leaving us tomorrow.”

Over dinner, Kayce and I mostly stay quiet, letting our mates chatter happily with their friends. The twins mostly stay quiet too, but their eyes are wide, listening and watching the interactions around them.

They become hyper aware when Nikki and Sophie start talking about Nikki’s birthday and that’s the first time they enter the conversation.

“You’re having a party?” Tiffany asks. I see Kayce’s head snap up as the scent of fear increases quickly.

“It’s not like that,” Nikki says. “I know you don’t know Alpha Hunter, but you must have heard of Sophie. Trust her. I do and neither she nor Alpha Hunter have let me down yet. Until they do, I’m going to trust them, and I believe that you can as well.”

“Are you eighteen?” Kayce asks gently.

They both nod.

“If you’re afraid to stay here for Nikki’s party, you’re welcome to come with us, but I’ll warn you, I haven’t had the same conversation or given

That could cause you some discomfort. I, like Hunter, won’t allow you to be hurt or claimed against your will, but that doesn’t mean that my pack members won’t be irritated or angry that they are being made to leave.”

I watch as Allison reaches out to take his hand and he immediately picks it up to kiss the back of her hand.

“We’ve spent nearly as much time with Alpha Kayce as we have with Alpha Hunter. I believe you can trust both of them, but if I were you, I‘ d stay here. This pack is settled, they already know and have agreed to protect everyone here against any attacking Alphas. Alpha Kayce and Luna Allison still have to get their pack to that point,” Letti says.

When the twins nod, agreeing to stay, I look at Kayce. Nikki’s birthday, with three ranked she–wolves and three unmated Alphas in attendance, is going to be very interesting.

“Are you nervous Nikki?” I ask, watching her as she gets ready for her

party.

“Yes and no,” she says, but I can see her nerves.

Allison and Letti left with Kayce several days ago to return to his pack. According to Hunter, he lost several members of his pack too when he refused to claim Allison publicly, but word of Brooklyn had

The twins have been out and around the pack more often. Hunte had heard them sucking in air several times when they’d see us d something unexpected. It was much like it had been when Nikki, Allison, and Letti first arrived.
