The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137

“That is absolutely untrue,” Nikki says, standing to face her brother.

“Is it? Because when you were underage, he refused to hand you over to me, your brother,” Alaric says, also standing.

“At my request. I asked Alpha Hunter for safety, and he provided it, even after Alpha Aiden attacked me and nearly separated my leg from my body,” she says, glaring at Aiden.

“You shouldn’t have interrupted my claim of that she–wolf who now wears another’s mark. She was mine and you interrupted a claiming. I was in my rights as an Alpha and a ranked member to claim her publicly. You, little girl, were not,” Aiden spits at her.

Robin snarls, standing up, ready to attack Aiden. Kayce looks ready to attack him as well.

“Enough!” Elias says, trying to maintain order.

“And where are my twins, Alpha Hunter? You’ve been hiding them away from me. I’ve requested access to your pack to see them, but you‘ ve denied me that access.”

“Those twins are no longer available. They are mine,” Dutton growls, standing as well.

“You son of a bitch. Those girls were mine! I had nearly caught them when they ran onto Hunter’s pack lands. He’s the only reason I didn’t

claim my mates,” Aiden snarls, pointing at Hunter.

‘You need to be ready to move quickly if things get out of hand, Sophie. I won’t have you or our pup injured in an Alpha fight. Grab your sister and get out of here,‘ Hunter says in my head, watching the interactions intently. He’s moved so that his body is basically shielding mine.

I nod, knowing that he’s right. In these tight quarters, there’s no way that I wouldn’t be injured if a fight broke out and while I want to help my mate, I’m not willing to risk our pup.

“ORDER!” Elias booms out. I look over and see that both Luna Margot and Luna June have their necks raised in submission and they have tears streaming down their faces at the massive amount of power being displayed in this room. There’s so much anger and animosity that I can’t imagine what it’s like for them, feeling the weight of it all. I can feel it, like a heavy blanket trying to weigh me down and I’m sure that others feel it too, but those two have no defense against it since their mates haven’t made them equal partners in their packs.

“I think Alpha Hunter should go back on trial for pretending to take in rank she–wolves, only to hand them out to his friends like candy,” Alpha Owen says from below us. He’s obviously enjoying the show from the safety of the pit.

Hunter growls, but I put a hand on his back. Owen is trying to get a rise out of him, maybe hoping to start a fight that he is safe from participating in.

“Alpha Dutton should definitely go on trial for stealing my mates!” Aiden snarls.

“They’re not yours, Aiden. They never were,” Dutton snarls back, his claws coming out.

“If I kill you, they will be.” Aiden taunts and that’s all it takes to snap the tenuous thread of composure this group had. Dutton leaps, going straight at Aiden, both have their claws out.

“NOW SOPH!” Hunter yells, standing and putting his body between me and Alphas on the other side as everyone’s claws come out.

“Nikki…” I hear Robin say.

“Don’t you start with me, Robin,” she says, as her own claws come out.

“Amelia! With me!” I yell at her just as Hunter turns, wrapping his arms around me. He snarls loudly and I smell blood, his blood.

“Your bitch of a mate started all of this!” Elias snarls from close by me and I realize that he had leaped at me, and Hunter had taken the brunt of his claws to protect me.

“Go, Soph. Get out of here now!” he says in my ear, pushing me forward and away from the fight before turning and slashing Elias down his face and throat. When he turns, I can see the long gashes left in his back from Elias‘ claws, but thankfully, they are already starting

to heal.

Allison and Nikki stay to fight, but I grab Amelia so Calvin can fight, and then my mother. “Come on, we need to get out of here,” I say.

“I can fight,” my mother says.

“Protect our daughters!” my father growls, before jumping onto Alpha

Joshua.

We pass Ezra who leaps just as we pass him. I’m not sure if he was guarding our exit or if he is just last into the fight. There’s a lot of snarling and snapping as I push my mother and sister out of the room.
