The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 117

Chapter 117

I look at Luna Sophie as she walks over, casually putting herself between me and my mates. “I’m sure now that Alpha Dutton has had a moment to collect himself and his wolf, he’ll be on his best behavior, right Alpha?” she asks me. Her tone is casual, but I can see the threat in her eyes as well. If I try anything with these she–wolves, she won’t hesitate to put me down. Knowing what I know about her, I feel confident that she could do it. And even without Hunter’s threat, Orion and I wouldn’t hurt her even if she did attack us. I can smell the pup on her. Her scent has subtly changed since I last saw her.

“Absolutely, Luna. I just want to get to know my mates.”

“Well then, follow me,” she says, turning and wrapping her arms around my mates, continuing to keep herself between me and them.

“Will you stay with us, Luna? We don’t want to be alone with him,” I hear Tammi ask. It hurts my heart, makes Orion howl with pain inside my head, but I get it. This is the very first birthday party in history that a ranked female finds her mate and won’t be marked publicly Fuck, how will that even work with two of them? I can’t mark both of them at once. We have a lot to talk about.

‘How about we get them to agree to letting us mark them before we worry about who we will mark first,‘ Orion grumbles.

‘You agree with a private marking and mating?‘ I ask him, surprised

‘Look at them, they’re terrified of us. They’re ours. I’ll do anything they need to make them feel safe, even if it means I have to wait to mark them. Hunter said they were mistreated in their pack. I will kill anyone and everyone who ever hurt them,‘ he growls.

“Why don’t we sit in here. It’s a bit away from the noise of the party. I can have someone bring us some food and something to drink, if that works for everyone?” Sophie says.

“Whatever my mates would like. Have you eaten? You both look like you need to eat more,” I say, looking them over quickly. I don’t want to make them afraid, but they are much too small. It makes me wonder how long they’ve been on the run.

‘Or maybe their Alpha kept them underfed so they couldn’t run,‘ Orion growls.

“We could eat,” Tiffany says. I’m starting to get a feel for the two of them. Tiffany already seems to be the more outgoing of the two, Tammi is shyer.

“And you Tammi? You’ll eat as well?” I ask her, and I see her surprise that I can already tell her apart from her sister.

She nods. “Yes.”

“Why don’t you sit down, and I’ll ask someone to bring us some food and did you want something to drink?” Sophie asks, looking at the girls.

“Wine for us,” Tiffany says, giving even more confirmation that she’s more outspoken.

“Red or white?” I ask.

“White,” she says, and Tammi nods when I look at her.

“And I’ll have what they’re having,” I say to Sophie. “Please, sit,” I say, taking control of the meeting. I’m not sure if that was Sophie’s intention but she gave me an opening and I’m taking it.

I see them both glance at Sophie whose eyes are unfocused in the mind link.

“Please,” I say, gesturing to a two–seater sofa. They sit and I sit across from them. I’m itching to touch them, but I refrain.

“Why don’t you tell me a little about yourselves. You’re twins, you’re at least eighteen, you’ve been on the run and are here under Hunter’s protection,” I begin. I’m on the edge of my seat, literally, getting as close to them as possible, but also because I want to know everything about them.

“We’re eighteen,” Tammi says, and I smile at her encouragingly.

“Who was born first?” I ask.

“I was,” Tiffany says.

“By two minutes,” Tammi says.

“Where are you from?” I ask them.

“We’re from out west, California.”

“Beach bunnies?” I ask, earning a giggle from Tammi. Fuck, she’s so

“No,” she says, blushing.

“You look like it with your blond hair and blue eyes,” I tell them.

“We lived in the mountains, or our pack did. We weren’t…” Tiffany begins, looking at Tammi. The grin from a moment ago is gone. “We weren’t allowed to leave.”

I nod, holding onto Orion as he snarls and thrashes around in my head.
