The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 166

As I make my way to the packhouse, I wonder if my warriors would feel the same about one of our omegas. Would they be this protective of them? Somehow, I don’t think so, and while Brooklyn is a beautiful. sweet girl, I think it has more to do with Hunter and Sophie’s

leadership than the girl herself. Something for me to think about. I may not have a Luna, a heart for my pack, but I need to work to have better cohesion between my pack members.

I pull up to the packhouse, stepping out of the car and taking a deep breath. There’s a hint of jasmine in the air. I don’t remember that scent from the last time I was here, and I would remember it. Diana planted jasmine all around our pack. I’ve fallen in love with the scent over the years. It calms me, relaxes me.

“Alpha Ezra,” Hunter says, walking up to me.

“Alpha Hunter. Are we being formal today?” I ask, chuckling.

“Only this once,” he says, putting a hand on my shoulder by way of greeting. I do the same with him. We could have been brothers, we were at one time, when Diana was alive. But I had distanced myself from him after that. Maybe it’s time I bridge the distance between us. Diana’s been gone several years now. She’d have wanted me to be close to her brother.

I hold him there for a moment. He tilts his head, watching me and waiting. “We should reaffirm our alliance while I’m here.” I say

I

see the surprise flash across his face before a smile begins. “I’d like that. I’d like it a lot.”

“So would I,” I say, finally releasing him.

As we walk to the back of the van where Owen has begun banging, I turn to Hunter. “Did you plant jasmine since I was here last?”

“Jasmine? No, why?”

“I thought I caught of whiff of it when I got out.”

He nods his head at the van. “Has he been like this the entire trip?”

“No. I threatened to put a silver–soaked cloth in his mouth or around his dick, so he’d shut up. I guess he figures he’s your problem now and my threats no longer matter,” I say as I open the back doors of the van.

Owen immediately begins screaming obscenities at the two of us.

“What happened to his nose?” Hunter asks casually.

“I’ve punched him a couple of times. He truly doesn’t know when to shut up,” I tell him and watch as Hunter walks in and punches Owen in the face, smashing his nose again.

“Shut the fuck up or I’ll let my warriors go at you until it’s time to kill you. Believe me when I tell you, they’d love nothing more than to torture you and hear you scream,” Hunter snarls at him.

He calls some warriors over and the begin to drag Owen out of the van. They ‘accidentally‘ drop him, then ‘accidentally‘ kick him in the gut multiple times before they finally get him out of our sight.

Chapter 166

“Do you think he’ll survive until tomorrow?” I ask Hunter.

“Oh yeah. They would prefer that I put his execution off a couple of days so they can hurt him. I wasn’t kidding when I said that my warriors would love nothing more than to have a go at him. After Koden attacked, Brooklyn tirelessly stitched up their injuries if they weren’t too severe. Every one of them has taken up a protective stance with her,” he says.

“Protective stance? What for?” I ask as we make our way to the front of the packhouse.

He turns and looks at me. “Did you know Luna Margot asked me for sanctuary? Well, actually she asked Sophie.”

“No, I hadn’t heard.”

“Yeah, well, she got here about a day before Koden attacked. She knows some doctor that she called, and he came to help with our injured.”

“You had that many injured?” I ask him, surprised.

“Enough that one doctor wasn’t enough to keep up. Anyway, the doctor, Dr. Caspian, is Brooklyn’s fated mate. Hence the protective detail of the warriors.”

I whistle low. “Wow, it truly is never boring here, is it?” I ask as we step inside. I catch the whiff of jasmine again, stronger this time.

“How is Luna Margot?”

“Getting stronger She rejected Joshua when she got here which is probably the reason he hasn’t yet attacked us

He’s talking to me, but the scent of jasmine is getting stronger and my wolf. Thorin, is starting to thrash around in my head

‘Find her,‘ he growls

I’m just about to ask what he means, when I look up into the wide. terrified eyes of Luna Margot
