The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175

“Brooklyn.” Hunter says, his voice gentle. “You have the right to execute this man for what he did to you. There is no shame in preferring to keep your hands clean of this kill, but I wanted to offer you the opportunity one more time.”

“No, thank you, Alpha. I do not want to be the one who executes him.” she says, and her voice remains steady. I smile at her, giving her silent praise for her bravery.

“I don’t blame you. If I were you, I wouldn’t want to sully myself by touching that asshole either,” one of the warriors says, reinforcing that they still think highly of her. The others agree as Owen collects himself and struggles to sit up.

“You have no authority to kill me,” Owen growls at Hunter.

“I do, actually.”

“It will be your word against the Committee’s.”

“Oh, you must have missed that Alpha Ezra is still here. He will be my witness if the Committee ever reconvenes,” Hunter says, pointing to Ezra. When Owen looks, Ezra gives him a feral smile.

“Alpha Owen, you are hereby sentenced to death by execution…” Hunter begins.

“What about me, Alpha Hunter? Am I eligible to execute this sorry excuse for an Alpha?” Leah asks, and the murmuring crowd goes silent.

“Leah?” Brutus asks, gently putting his hands on her hips.

Leah, however, steps forward, away from Brutus, looking from Owen to Hunter. “I’m tired of the men in my life assuming that me and my daughter are weak because we’re omegas. She survived what this man did to her, but he won’t survive what 1, a mere omega, do to him,” she says, growling.

“Has your wolf resurfaced, Leah?” Hunter asks her.

“She is strong enough to kill this….person,” she says, disgustedly.

Hunter looks over at Ezra who shrugs. I know Hunter wants to kill Owen, but I don’t think he’ll say no to Leah. When he turns to look at me, I nod at him. Leah should have the opportunity to get revenge for her pup.

“Very well. Leah. Step forward,” Hunter says, grabbing Owen by the hair and yanking his head back, exposing his neck.

“You fucking bitch. Don’t you dare come near me! I’ll fucking kill you if you touch me! Do you hear me? I’ll kill you!” Owen screams.

Leah seems to suddenly realize what she’s asked to do. Her hands are shaking as she walks forward, and her lips begin to tremble.

Owen begins laughing at her. “See, you can’t even do it. You’re too weak.” he taunts her.

Brutus steps up behind her, lowering his head to her ear.

“Extend your claws, Leah. One strong swipe is all it takes,” he says, guiding her. He stands behind her, his hands on her hips to steady her as she slowly extends her claws. Owen watches and begins screaming at her again, threatening her, taunting her that she’s too weak.

“You’re not weak, Leah You’re one of the strongest women I’ve ever met. You can do this.” Brutus says.

Chapter 175

樓 “Extend your arm out to the side. Aim for his throat. It will be soft and/ easy to slice through,” he tells her as Owen begins thrashing against Hunter. Each warrior finds a body part to stomp on, a leg and a hand to hold Owen still for Leah.

She lifts her arm out to the side, staring determinedly at Owen.

“When you see my ex–mate, make sure he knows that it was me who killed you,” she snarls, and her hand swipes through the air. Blood sprays over her and Hunter and I hear the gurgling sounds of Owen dying for a split second before Brutus‘ claw swipes down and severs Owen’s head from his body.

Hunter lifts his head to the sky, holding up Owen’s severed head and howling our pack’s dominance over the person that hurt one of our own. As one, the pack lifts their heads and howls in return.

Brutus hugs Leah who is probably in a bit of shock after her first kill as I walk to my mate, once again so proud of my mate, our pack, and the cohesiveness that I feel.

I ignore the blood and guts as he tosses Owen’s head aside and pulls me into an embrace, kissing me passionately as the pack celebrates around us.

Hunter

A sense of peace fell over the pack after Owen’s execution. I could feel the pack’s happiness that we had avenged one of our own, but more importantly to me, I felt Sophie’s pride with me and our pack. I love feeling her pride in me, and I answered her feelings by taking her mouth in a dominant, passionate kiss.

When I finally pull back, we’re both a mess, covered in Owen’s blood and guts
