The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 157

“Alpha Hunter, you’re back in the land of the living,” he answers.

“I am and I’m back to fighting strength. What did I miss?”

“You got the report of the dead?”

“Yes. I’m sorry for your loss,” I say, knowing he’ll be feeling the loss of his two pack members the same way I’m feeling the loss of my four.

“I lost their mates as well,” he says sadly.

“I’m so sorry to hear that.” I say, and I hear movement on the other end of the phone. It sounds like Allison just came to sit on Kayce’s lap

“I won’t keep you. I just wanted to thank you again and see if there was any news on Joshua.”

“I haven’t heard anything new, but you know he’s coming

“I do. Thank you again, Kayce.”

“You would do the same for me, Hunter, and there may come a time when I call on you.”

“We’ll be there,” I say, hanging up.

Next I call Carter but instead of him answering. I get Luna Amy

“Luna, I was looking for Alpha Carter.”

“Oh, he’s asleep, dear. He had a long day, refused to come home until everything was settled in your pack. How is my daughter?”

“Sleeping and I’m sure your mate told you, but she did an excellent job of running this pack while I slept.”

“So I heard. Between you and me, Alpha, she gets that from me,” she says conspiratorially.

I laugh. “I am absolutely sure she does, Luna Amy. Will you let Alpha Carter know that I called and to give me a call when he wakes if there‘ s anything I can do to help ease the passing of your dead.”

“We’ll be laying them to rest tomorrow, but thank you, Alpha.”

“Thank you, Luna.”

After that, I call Ezra.

“Luna Sophie?” he answers.

“No, it’s me, Hunter,” I say.

“Hunter! You’re back with us?”

“I am. I know it’s a bit late, but I wanted to give you the update on Owen’s dead…”

“No need, your mate already called me, hours ago.”

“She did?” I ask, sitting back.

“She did. I’ll tell you what I told her. I’ll be heading over there tomorrow morning to take over the pack.”

“Good. That’s good. You shouldn’t have too much trouble, we have quite a few dead here.”

“When do you want to deal with Owen?” he asks.

“Let me talk to Brooklyn. She actually shot her father, killing him and now her mother is in the pack hospital fighting to survive since he never accepted her rejection.”

He whistles low. “How is she doing?”

“I haven’t seen her yet, but from everything that I’ve heard from my pack, she’s much better than I would have expected.”

“That’s good, I’m glad to hear it. Well, once you know when you want me to come by with the asshole, just let me know.”

I chuckle at that. “Is he causing you any problems?”

“He’s loud and obnoxious, but otherwise no.”

“Okay, I’ll be in touch.”

I sit back looking over my desk which Sophie straightened up for me today as well. There’s a knock at the door and I look up to see Lucas. He’s frowning as he walks in.

“Kinsley did everything while I was out,” he says, sitting in the chair opposite me.
