The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125

I stop, grabbing her hand as she starts to walk away. “You know I don‘ t care, right? You know I’m just thrilled to be having a pup with you? Boy or girl, I don’t care. I mean, yeah, I want an heir, but if this is a girl it just means we have to have another pup,” I say grinning as my mate laughs up at me. She’s so beautiful when she laughs.

“We can have a couple of each, if you’d like,” she says, sauntering away. I begin following her, my magnet that constantly draws me to her.

“Oh, I’d like. We should definitely keep practicing,” I say to her, once again making her laugh. She’s still laughing, smiling up at me as we walk out to warrior training. I’m sure I look possessively happy as I smile back at her. The entire group goes quiet as we join them.

“About time,” Lucas grumbles as I kiss Sophie and jog up to the front.

“What are you so grumpy about?” I ask him.

He just shakes his head. I frown, but leave it for now. I begin our training, noticing that Kinsley is absent.

“Where’s your mate?” I ask Lucas in an aside.

“She’s sick again,” he grumbles.

I look at him. “Do we need to get her to see the doctor?”

“She won’t go. She says she’s fine. We’re just getting to a point where she trusts me, so I don’t want to push…”

“I’ll talk to Sophie. I’ll have her talk to Kinsley,” I say.

“Thank you, Alpha,” he says, relief evident in his voice.

I look around, seeing Robin and Nikki sparring. Robin is smiling at Nikki’s skill. She’s not wearing his mark yet, but I can smell his scent on her from here. They’ll make a good pair.

I also see Dutton sparring with his mates. They all look exhausted, and I’m impressed that they are even up. Once again, none of them have marks on their necks. It’s probably a good thing they’re taking it slow.

Once the warriors are training, I move to Sophie and begin sparring with her. She’s getting better, faster, and stronger. I know that’s time limited for now. As she gets larger with my pup, her agility and flexibility will decrease, but I’m really proud of her. And since I don’t care who wins our sparring matches, I can be extra careful with my punches, only tagging her in the arms and legs. I don’t throw any serious kicks her way, but she doesn’t hold back which is exactly what I want. She nearly knocks me to the ground with a low, swiping kick and I have to work to stay on my feet and maneuver to tag her on her back side. Because I’m proud of her, I swat her ass hard, harder than I would if I have landed a punch.

She yips, rubbing her ass cheek. “You’re going to kiss that later and make it better, Alpha,” she purrs.

“Any time, my Luna,” I say, and I’m surprised when Lucas calls the end of training. It’s good that I’ve been distracted by my mate and not

focused on our doctor appointment.

We start to head inside, and I pull Sophie aside. “Lucas said that Kinsley is sick again this morning. He’s worried about her but he’s afraid to push her too hard to see a doctor because they’re relationship is just starting to improve. Would you talk to her?”

“Absolutely. I can’t have my Beta getting sick on me,” she says.

“You are utterly incredible. Do you know that?” I ask her, pulling her to a stop as we walk into the dining hall.

“I think you’re pretty incredible too, Alpha.”

I lean in, cupping her face in my hand as I kiss her. Here, in our pack, I don’t have to wait for her to kiss me. I can feel through our bond that she trusts me and our pack. As I kiss her, I can once again feel the pack’s happiness, their contentment at our relationship.

“Can we have that?” I hear a soft voice ask as I continue to kiss my

mate.

“That’s exactly what I want us to have,” I hear Dutton say.

“Us too?” I hear Nikki ask.

“Nah, I want you leaping into my arms and wrapping yourself around me when we kiss,” Robin replies and I hear Nikki snort.

I smile, feeling Sophie smiling as well, both of us having heard their

conversations.

She pulls away from me, still smiling up at me. “When you trust your

mate like I do, you can have any kind of relationship you want,” she says loud enough for them to hear, once again making me feel like a fucking king.
