The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136

We walk forward, catching both women’s‘ gazes. Now that I know that my mate is proudly wearing her mark, I’m noticing that these two women actively try to hide theirs. They are not proud of them at all.

“Luna Margot, Luna June, I’m Luna Sophie.”

“Oh, we know who you are, Luna. You’ve made quite a ruckus around our packs,” Luna Margot says, not unkindly.

“Hopefully not anything that has caused you problems,” she says.

Margot looks down, her lips pressing together so tightly they turn white. I have to wonder what kind of problems my mate bond is causing her. I’m hoping it’s not about becoming pregnant.

“We’ve lost some pack members. We’re hoping that maybe they’ve made it to your pack?” Luna June asks quietly.

“Who are you looking for…” Sophie begins as Elias walks up.

“What is the meaning of this?” he barks, his Alpha aura coming out and I notice that both women’s necks raise in submission. Sophie notices it as well and I can feel that it makes her angry. She, of course, is immune to his Alpha aura.

“I’m just saying hello to my fellow Lunas, Alpha. Surely you can’t be concerned about that?” she asks, challenging him. I step closer to her as I feel his aura push out even more, trying to put my mate in line.

Before I can push mine over him, I feel hers push out.

“There’s no need for a battle of wills, Alpha. I’m an equal partner in my pack, and an Alpha female by birth. You’d do well to remember that,” she says. Somehow, her aura pushes over Elias, but it releases the other two from their submissive stances. Interesting. It’s almost as if Sophie pushed his aura back, putting all of hers onto him, leaving the Lunas alone.

I can see that Elias is huffing with his anger. He snarls at his mate and daughter to take their seats, putting them as far from us as possible. Fine by me, I don’t want my mate anywhere near Elias or Joshua. They both disgust me.

When we turn, I can see that Robin and Kayce are quietly telling their mates who everyone is as they come in.

“Hello, Nicole. What are you doing here?” I hear just as Sophie sits down. Alaric’s voice is dripping with condescension.

She stands, facing her brother proudly. I look at Robin who also stands, but he’s focused on Alaric and his mate.

“It’s Luna Nikki now, or have you lost your eyesight, brother? Do you not see Robin’s mark on my neck?” she asks, challenging her brother. Robin steps up behind her, pressing his body against hers. She leans back against him, and the motion does not go unnoticed by Alaric.

“Camden will be very unhappy to hear this,” he snarls.

“Camden is not her mate, I am. He can go find his own. Make sure your Beta knows that if he ever comes for what’s mine, I’ll kill him.

Robin never raises his voice, but his wolf’s voice intermingles with his, making the threat low, gravelly, and very real.

“Everyone have a seat, this Committee meeting is hereby commenced,” Elias‘ voice rings out and we all take our seats.

This is only my second time at the Committee of Alphas, and the first time that I’m up here in the seating area. I’m not sure if it’s always this tense, but I can feel the Alpha auras pressing in around me from every direction, Hunter’s included.

look back and see that, on our side, it looks like my mother, sister, and friends can feel it, but it isn’t impacting them. However, when I look at Luna Margot and Luna June, they both look like the weight of all these auras is pressing down on them heavily.

“We have two items on the agenda today, the first is to discuss whether or not Alpha Owen broke the law by claiming an omega publicly and the second is a law revision requested by Alpha Hunter. Before we start the meeting today, it also appears that we have two Alphas with new mates. To my knowledge, these Alphas did not publicly claim their mates, and therefore must be scheduled for trial. They will be excluded from the voting today.”

“Absolutely not!” Kayce says, jumping to his feet. “You have no right to remove me from the council.”

“Did you publicly claim your mate, then?” Alpha Elias asks.

“No, and I will not. But the precedence has been set. We all voted that

Hunter would keep his title, which is why the law is on the floor to be changed.”

“Yes. Alpha Hunter has set quite a precedent, hasn’t he?” Alpha Alaric says, sneering at Hunter. “It seems he’s collecting ranked she–wolves and giving them to his friends.”
