The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139

“Come for what’s mine and I’ll kill you,” Dutton growls, having shifted back. He and Aiden both have bite and claw marks all over their

bodies.

Joshua steps back, standing with Alaric and Aiden. He’s bleeding from multiple wounds where Carter and Calvin slashed at him. “You have no right.” he snarls.

“We have every right,” Kayce says, pushing Allison behind him. I can see that she’s taken a swipe across the thigh and she’s limping. Kayce is pretty bloody too, but he’s standing his ground, protecting his mate. “What you are doing is wrong. We will protect our mates and our packs.”

“We will not stand by and allow you to hunt our she–wolves or claim warriors and omegas in public with the lies that you are taking them as your Lunas. It’s time we made a stand and if you go against us, we will fight you to the death,” I say.

Zahn steps back, joining forces with the other three. “So be it.”

I watch Joshua look over and see Elias still on the floor, his hand to his throat which still has blood pouring out of it. Elias reaches out his hand to Joshua.

“Sorry old man, I guess it’s time for a change on leadership in your pack,” he says, before turning and leaving him to die. The others step

back, watching us before turning and racing off as fast as their injuries will allow.

“No honor among thieves, I guess,” Ezra says.

I turn and look at the others. Robin is looking over Nikki’s injuries as is Kayce with Allison.

“Owen’s missing.” I growl, moving quickly. I have a pretty good idea where he went while I was preoccupied. When I step outside, I see Owen unconscious on the ground and Luna June standing with Sophie and her family.

“We’re going to war,” I tell them as Sophie rushes over to me, wrapping her arms around my neck and holding me. More than anything, hers and Hedda’s touch strengthens Shaw enough that my wounds start healing faster.

“Luna June,” I say when I look up. “Your mate is inside dying. Joshua left him, and I’m assuming he’ll be taking over your pack once he heals enough to get there.”

I’m surprised when she doesn’t even flinch. “Then I need a phone, if anyone has one. I need to alert my pack members before I’m unable to function,” she says.

Luna Amy hands her a phone and she steps away, quickly making

calls.

“What about Owen?” Sophie says. “He was supposed to be on trial.”

I look up as the others walk out. “The others left him, so I guess it’s up

to us to decide what to do with him,” Robin says.

“We can’t effectively strip him of his Alpha title without all of the Alphas in agreement, which we will never get.” Carter says, limping out. Luna Amy rushes over to him and wraps her arms around him.

“I say we kill him.” Ezra says.

“I second that.” Dutton growls. He’s also covered in bites and scratches, some of them nasty. It’s hard to get out of the way when you’re in tight quarters like we were inside.

“I don’t feel good about killing him while he’s unconscious,” I say. “He should know that we’ve put him on trial and order his execution.”

“Let’s get him back to one of our packs. We can put him in a cell until we decide what to do with him. The girl he hurt may want to see justice done,” Robin says to me.

“What about his pack?” Nikki asks.

“I wouldn’t want to see his Beta take over. He’s no better than Owen,” Sophie says.

“His pack is close to mine. I have someone who may be interested in taking over as Alpha,” Ezra says. “Or we can open it up to anyone within our packs. I’m guessing we’re going to have a lot of restructuring soon.”

“Aiden and Alaric are the biggest concerns and they both border one of our packs with another close. If they attack, we’ll wipe them out.”

“I don’t think they’ll attack us,” Carter says. “You and Sophie started this. They may feel that they could make a better statement if they take you and your pack out, especially since you’re housing all those ranked she–wolves and handing them out like candy to your friends.” he says sarcastically, making my mate snort.

“That was quite the visual.” Calvin says, smiling as he hugs his mate. He’s also got bites and scratches all over his body.

“So, who wants this asshole?” I ask, just as we hear the high–pitched keening of someone losing their mate.

Sophie pulls away from me and her mother does the same, rushing over to Luna June who is on her knees, clutching her chest. Alpha Elias is dead.
