The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119

When Sophie suggests that she help the twins and Hunter check on Robin and I, I can see his reticence, but Sophie, being the queen she is, takes control of the situation. I know the twins are worried, but I also know that Sophie won’t allow anything to happen to them, letting me focus on my mate.

I look back at Robin. If things between us work out, I hope to be the same kind of Luna that Sophie is, strong and confident.

As Sophie begins to lead the twins and Alpha Dutton from the room, Robin turns to me. “Now, where were we?”

“I believe our wolves were identifying each other as mates,” I say. I’m feeling shy all of a sudden. What does Robin expect of me now?

“Nikki, are you good?” Alpha Hunter asks, walking over

“Yes, Alpha. I think we’re good.”

“Robin, remember my rule,” he says.

Robin nods but doesn’t look away from me. “I’m here until the

committee meeting so that my mate and I can spend time together,” he

says. I jerk in surprise, and he merely smiles at me.

“What, you didn’t think I’d come in, and expect you to leave with me immediately, did you?”

“I wasn’t sure what to expect,” I say.

“Hunter, can we get the music back on so I can dance with my mate?” Robin asks and when Hunter doesn’t respond, we both look to find

him gone.

“Oh, well…” I look around wanting to find Kinsley. Robin, however, pulls me to him.

“We can make our own music,” he says and begins swaying back and forth. His gaze on me is so intense, it makes me blush.

“You look so beautiful tonight. Even if you weren’t my mate, I’d be jealous of the man who was lucky enough to call you his,” he says.

I tilt my chin up and narrow my eyes. “So, you only want me for my looks?”

His smile grows wide, and I realize that while he probably was giving me a real compliment, he also knew it would antagonize me and I played right into it.

His eyes drop to my mouth and his gaze turns to a burning hunger. “I also love that smart mouth of yours and I can’t wait to taste it.

little mate,

He drags his eyes back to mine. “I love the intelligence and strength that are behind that beautiful face and the passion… Oh my how I do hope that you keep your passion. I think you and I can have a wonderful life together.”

“I have a lot of things that I want to change about our world,” I say, defiantly. He may as well know what he’s getting into.

“Like what?” he asks softly, watching me as if every word I say is of the utmost importance.

“Women should have an equal say in the packs. We should have the same rights as men. Women should have the right to take over as Alpha,” I say, quickly muttering the biggest of my issues, the one that would cause other Alphas the most concern.

“So, you’re saying if our first child is a girl, she should have the right to take over our pack?” he asks, as if it’s a simple conversation, casually bringing up our child.

I swallow hard, struggling with the image of having this man’s a flash of hot desire rushes through me. I really want that.

“Why not? I would have made a better Alpha than Alaric,” I say, defensively, trying to get myself and my purring wolf under control.

“You definitely would have, but that’s not saying much. Your brother is a terrible Alpha. Would you, let’s say, have made a better Alpha than Hunter?”

I turn, looking around the room for our host. I see him putting together plates of food, possibly for Dutton and the twins. I’m guessing he wants to check on his mate.

I think about his question a moment. Robin’s right. There’s a huge difference in being better than my brother versus being better than Hunter. “I would always strive to do my best and to be the best Alpha I could be for my pack. I would be open to their worries and concerns. listening to their ideas and trying to make the pack more cohesive and stronger. I don’t know if that would make me a better Alpha than

Hunter, but I would think it would at least make me as good an Alpha as he is.”

Robin reaches up and strokes my cheek. “You can do all those things as my Luna. Listen, make the pack feel heard, be open to their ideas, make the pack stronger,” he says.
