The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 152

Chapter 152

The nurse gestures to the room full of warriors in various stages of injury. “We have the most seriously injured in surgery or waiting to go in. We need to know of those left, who has the most serious injuries needing treatment and who just needs to be stitched up and sent home to rest.”

“I can help stitch them up,” Brooklyn says, surprising me.

The nurse tilts her head. “Are you the one that has been stitching up the omegas?” she asks her.

Brooklyn blushes and nods her head. “We don’t always have time to come in, so I learned. My mother taught me.”

“Well, you’re very good at it. If you find someone who needs to get stitched up, make sure to wash the wound, supplies are over there, and then you can stitch them up and send them on their way.”

“I’ll leave you to it, Brooklyn,” I say to her.

“Thank you, Luna.”

“Thank you, Brooklyn. I’m sure the staff here are grateful for your help.”

“More than grateful,” the lead nurse says before turning to the next person in the room.

I leave her, heading back to the packhouse. When I arrive, I can see that we have even more injured here that either refused or haven’t made it to the pack hospital yet. I look around, searching for Hunter.

“Luna.” I turn and see Margot walking toward me. Her hands are bloody,

and she’s wiping them on a towel. “How are things at the hospital? I have a doctor friend that might be willing to help, if you need him to.”

“That would be great. We need these warriors back to full fighting strength before Joshua comes,” I say to her. She presses her lips together

and nods.

“Hey, I’m not blaming you. He’d come anyway, but we know he’s out there and it’s only a matter of time.”

“I’ll call my friend and let you know.”

She turns to leave. “Margot, you trust him right? We’ll be letting him onto our pack lands. He won’t betray us?” I ask, needing to make sure.

“I trust him,” she says, looking around and pulling me aside. “No one knows this except my mother, so please, keep this between us. But he’s been giving me birth control since I was mated Joshua. He’s very discreet and he cares about his patients. He won’t betray me or you.

“Okay. I trust you, Margot. If you trust him, then call him. Just let me know his name and when to expect him so I can let the border patrols know.

She turns again. “Wait, Margot, how was your safe room? Is everyone okay? Did anyone lose their mate?”

“No one lost their mate, but…if I’m honest, I’d rather never do that again,” she says.

“It’s a lot easier to fight, isn’t it?” I ask her, understanding.

“Very much so.”

“Then let’s get you strong so you can fight.” I say. This time it’s me who

starts to turn away, but she stops me.

“Luna, I’ve been watching you, at the committee meetings and for the

couple of days that I’ve been here. I didn’t understand the fuss before, but I do now. You really are a legend.”

I chuckle. “I’m just a girl who found her incredible mate, that’s all.” I chuckle. “I’m just a girl who f

“No, you are the reason all of th

has happened. Not in a bad way, in a good way. Things needed to change. I thought it was hype, thought your title was overdramatized, but it’s not. You really are worthy of being called a legend,” she says before nodding her head and walking off.

I stare after her, feeling equal parts awed and inadequate. That was high praise coming from another Luna, even if she rejected her mate. I truly hope that I never give her a reason to find me unworthy of the title.

When I turn away from Margot, I find Kinsley and get a report on the pack’s injuries and how things went in her safe room.

“Where are our mates?” I ask when she’s done.

“They’re around, and I don’t know about yours, but mine is exhausted. However, he refuses to go rest,” she says, worriedly.

“Well, that’s about to change. Come with me. You and I are leaders in this pack and if our mates want to tell us that we are equals to them, it’s about time for them to prove it.

“This ought to be good,” I hear her murmur excitedly as she follows me.

I find my mate talking to Alpha Kayce and my father.

“Alpha Hunter,” I say, addressing him by his title so he knows I’m serious.
