The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155

I look around making sure I have everything as I walk to the door and nearly run into Hunter. He’s leaning against the doorframe, watching me.

“My Luna looks exhausted,” he says, looking me over. I do the same to him, seeing that his injuries are healed.

“How are you feeling?” I ask him.

He pushes off the doorframe and comes to me, pulling me against him. I lean into him, wrapping my arms around his waist.

“Rested, unlike you. Time for bed, my Luna.”

“I just need to get with Kinsley.

“Oh no,” he says, pulling back and lifting my chin so I’m looking up at him. “I believe we had the conversation earlier about being equal partners. Anything that still needs to be done, I’ll take care of. My mate and my pup need sleep. Did you eat?”

I grimace which elicits a growl from Hunter.

He scoops me into his arms, and I see his

eyes go unfocused. We walk out of the office and toward the stairs and are met by an omega holding a sandwich in her hands.

“Here, Luna. I had this made for you earlier, but you never stopped to eat,

“Thank you,” I say as Hunter begins carrying me up the stairs. As he

climbs, I fill him in on everything that has happened while he’s been asleep, giving him the list of things that I had planned to follow up on.

He sets me down on the bed, putting the water on the nightstand before going into the closet and getting me one of his t–shirts. I start eating the sandwich while I wait, struggling to chew before swallowing the large bites.

“Don’t choke, Soph,” Hunter says, helping me to undress, then pulling the shirt over my head. I finish the sandwich and Hunter gives me the bottle of water, unscrewing the top before he hands it to me.

“Better?” he asks when I hand the empty bottle back to him.

“Yes. Thank you.”

“Thank you, my mate. You really are an incredible woman. Now get some sleep. I know how to run our pack.

“Yes, Alpha,” I say. I’m pretty sure I was asleep before he stepped out of the room.

My mate was dead on her feet when I finally woke, feeling amazingly refreshed and ready to take on anything, including Joshua and another war. Now that I’ve had a moment to step away from the battle, I can see that she was right. I needed to heal so I can be prepared to fight again, but when she first approached me, I had been very surprised at how insistent she was that I get some sleep.

When I get downstairs, I see Penny working through the patrols with our Lead Warrior.

“How do things look?” I ask, walking up.

“Oh, Alpha. You look well rested,” Penny says.

“So do you,” I say, looking her over.

“Luna and Beta Kinsley had all of us rotating through a sleep schedule so she could let her father and his pack members get back home. We’re just about to switch out the last round of patrols who are waking up and then we should be back to normal,” Penny says.

“Well, that’s great. Can I take a look?”

I look over what Kinsley must have put together for the day, slowly weeding out Carter’s pack so that they could go home. Penny’s right, this is the last shift with Carter’s men.

“Are Alpha Carter and Alpha Kayce still here?” I ask as Lucas walks up. I hand the patrol schedule to him, knowing he’ll be proud of what his mate has done.

“No, Alpha. Alpha Kayce left a while ago after getting the list of dead for Luna Sophie. I believe that report is on your desk. We’ve also set up pyres for the four that we lost and buried the ones that came from Owen’s old pack,” she reports.

“The mates of the ones we lost?” Lucas asks.

“Is that so?”

“Yes, Alpha.”

I look around, feeling completely unnecessary. Sophie and Kinsley have this pack nearly back to fighting strength in less than twelve hours.
