The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140

“We’ll take Luna June. Where’s her daughter?” Alpha Carter asks.

“She ran.” Amelia says, watching her sister and mother as they hug and console June while she grieves.

“It didn’t even seem like she loved him,” Allison says, leaning into her mate as she watches the grieving woman.

“It doesn’t matter. When you’re marked and mated, if you haven’t rejected your mate and they die, you feel the pain,” Alpha Carter says as Kayce kisses the top of Allison’s head.

“Come on, we need to get back to our pack. Aiden borders Robin and we need to be prepared to fight,” Kayce says.

“Plus, we’ve already started taking in ranked she wolves as well,” Allison says.

“We’ll take June, but that still leaves Owen,” Carter says.

“I’ll take him. If we think that Hunter’s pack is going to be attacked, I don’t want those assholes letting him out of his cells,” Ezra says.

“Thank you.”

He nods, grabbing Owen’s shirt by the collar. “When you’re ready, I’ll bring him over so you can execute him in your pack. If that she–wolf wants to be there, she should have that opportunity and your pack

probably needs the closure of him having a public execution.”

“Let’s see what the war brings,” I say, watching as Ezra drags an unconscious Owen toward his car.

“Come on, baby, let’s go home,” I say, as Carter walks over to pick up June from the ground.

“We’ll be in touch,” Carter says as he and Amy get June settled in their

car.

“As will we,” Calvin says. “I’m closest to Ezra. If he needs back up, my pack will be there.”

“Thank you.”

We say goodbye to Robin and Kayce, Dutton having already left to get his mates and get to his pack. We all need to be ready for an attack, but our pack needs to be ready more than the others. Carter is right. It‘ s me and Sophie that started all of this, so it’s us that the other Alphas will be coming for.

“Are you nervous?” I ask Hunter as we drive home. He’s quiet and I can feel the powerful energy rolling off of him.

He looks over at me and takes my hand, pulling it to his lips.

“Yes and no. Yes, because I have so much more to lose than I ever did before. And no, because I’m strong, you’re strong, and our pack is strong. They will fight for what is right and our friends will come when we call. We just need to hold on until they get to us if we’re

outnumbered.”

“What do you think Joshua will do when he realizes that Margot is gone?” I ask

“He’ll go hunting for her.”

“I told her to come to us,” I say, worried that I’ve brought even more chaos down on us.

“Good. Protecting those who need protection is what we do, right?” he asks me, smiling. I know he’s worried, thinking through the possibilities of an attack, how we can make sure we’re ready, but he’s putting that aside for the moment to make sure that I’m okay.

“How can I help you? I know you won’t let me fight and I won’t argue on that. I love this pup already and I won’t do anything to hurt him. Owen already threatened to kill him…‘

The car jerks and Hunter slams on the brakes. “He WHAT?” he snarls and the anger pulsing out of him in the tight confines of the car is stifling.

I look at my mate. Shaw is very close to the surface. I reach out and stroke his face. “He underestimated you, as always,” I say calmly. “He assumed someone would kill you, specifically Elias, and then he planned to take me as his mate, kill our son, and put his own pup in me. I told him I’d rip his dick off if he put it anywhere near me,” I say, watching my mate closely.

It’s the last part that gets his attention. He blinks and some of the anger dissipates. “You said that?” he asks with a ghost of a smile.

“Of course. No one touches me but you. I’d kill anyone just for trying to touch me, but then he had to go and threaten our son. I knew that you’d come out alive, especially if Elias was the contender to take you out. You’re much too smart and too strong to let that old bag kill you,” I say proudly.

“Yes, and now he’s the one lying dead,” Hunter growls, leaning

forward and taking my mouth in a possessive kiss. “And you are mine.”

“Yes I am. Always and only yours,” I tell him. I mean it, but I also know it will help Shaw to calm.
