The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128

I shake my head and accept hugs from our pack members and our friends. When the congratulations finally die down, I head to the kitchens, looking for Kinsley. I need to find out what’s going on with

her.

I say hello, thanking more people when they congratulate me on our pup, but I’m not seeing Kinsley anywhere. I’ve just about decided to mind link her to see if she’s still upstairs when I see her walking out of a bathroom in one of the downstairs hallways. I watch as she wipes her mouth as she closes the door. When she looks up and sees me watching her she jumps.

“Luna! I, uh, I hear congratulations are in order.”

“Thank you. Walk with me, Kinsley.

“I have some things to do…”

“Walk with me,” I say again, not giving any room for argument.

Her head drops but she follows me as I walk back out to the front of the packhouse, thanking more pack members as the good news of my pup spreads like wildfire around the pack.

I wait until we’re far enough away from the packhouse that no one can

hear us.

“Talk to me. What’s going on?”

She looks at me and I can see that she’s about to lie to me. I raise an eyebrow at her, daring her to lie.

She looks back down and I can smell the salt of tears.

“I don’t know. It started about a week ago. Things between Lucas and I have gotten more intimate and…” she stops, stifling a sob. I put my arms around her, looking for someplace where we won’t be seen or overheard. I lead her over to a seat near the forest and hold her while

she cries.

When she calms, I look at her. “You’ve gotten more intimate and what?” I ask gently.

The tears continue to fall as plucks imaginary lint off of her clothes. “Lucas thinks it’s because I’m mentally unable to handle our intimacy.” She looks up at me with pleading eyes. “That’s not it at all. I’m not disgusted by being with him. The first time, it was hard, yes. We both had to work to keep me in the moment and not flashing back to my marking day. But we’ve tried a couple more times and each time it’s gotten easier. But then, then he caught me throwing up and he thinks I’m not being honest with him. He thinks that it’s my disgust at being with him that’s making me sick. I told him it isn’t, but he thinks that even if I don’t think it, that subconsciously I don’t want to be with him,” she says, breaking down into sobs again.

I pull her into another hug, holding her while she cries. “That’s not it at all. Truly Luna. Things have finally started to get better between us. Seeing you and Alpha together, I know that’s what I want, and I know that it’s up to me to give Lucas a chance to show me that I can trust

him. But now….now he won’t touch me. He’s so worried that I hate his touch that he barely even holds me. I’d just gotten to the point where I wanted him to hold me and now he’ll barely touch me and if he does, it’s only for a few moments.” She continues sobbing as she tells me all of this, hiccupping through her words and rubbing tears and snot on my shirt as she cries.

“Kinsley, when you say that you’ve been together, do you mean that you’ve had sex?”

She nods against my chest.

“And when you had sex, did he come inside you?”

She nods again.

“Kinsley, have you taken a pregnancy test?” I ask, pulling back to look at her. For me, this is simple, but I can see that the two of them are so twisted up over their mate bond that they can’t see this for what it is.

“It’s too soon, and it was only a few times,” she says. “No one has pups this quickly.”

“Really?” I ask, giving her a look as I wipe the tears from her eyes.

“You’re different. You’re Sophie Meyers, now Sophie Reynolds. It’s different for you.”

“I don’t think so. Come on,” I say standing up and holding out my hand to her.

“Where are we going?”

“We’re going to see Dr. Felicity. If you’re not pregnant, she can still look you over and figure out what’s wrong. But if you are, she can let you know that pretty quickly.”

“I don’t know…”
