The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 180

Chapter 180

“Well then, you’d better up your game, Alpha,” she says, making Robin growl.

“Where’s Sophie?” Nikki asks.

“Working on better preparing the safe rooms. Apparently, they need a better ambiance, so our pack members aren’t sitting scared and waiting while the rest of us fight,” I tell her.

“What a great idea,” Allison says.

“Let’s schedule a call with her, Alli,” Nikki says.

“I’ll set something up,” Allison says before the two say goodbye and walk

out of the rooms. When Kayce turns back, he’s shaking his head.

“Goddess save us from intelligent, empowered Lunas.”

“You’ll find no complaints from me,” I say.

“That’s because our mates haven’t talked to yours yet, Hunter. Just you wait. Nikki’s already drafting a law to allow the first born to inherit the Alpha position,” Robin says.

Calvin frowns. “They already do.”

“The first born, whether male or female,” Robin clarifies.

“Oh,” Calvin says.

“And Allison is drafting a bill to allow Lunas and Alpha females on the

Committee of Alphas as voting members,” Kayce says. “Did I mention that having two intelligent, empowered Lunas living right next door to each other is dangerous?”

“Trying living with two,” Dutton pipes in.

“How are things going with the twins. Have they gotten settled in?” I ask, him.

“Yes. My bed is comfortably full every night,” he says smiling broadly, making all of us chuckle.

“Alpha Carter, how is Luna June? I’d like to give Margot an update on her mother.” I say, and Ezra looks at me. He must have forgotten that Margot’s mother is living with Carter and Amy right now.

“She’s a strong woman. It will take time as these things do, but she’s making a name for herself here in our pack. Amy had the idea to put her in the nursery with the pups and it’s working out wonderfully. Her Luna nature of giving and loving is really able to shine there and it’s helping her to heal.”

“Would it be okay if I brought Margot over to see her mother?” Ezra asks.

“Of course, Alpha Ezra, but I thought Margot was living with Hunter,” Carter says.

I look at Ezra, waiting for him to tell the group.

He looks at me, pressing his lips together. “She’s my second chance mate, he says, making all of them respond with shock, some sitting back heavily in their seats, some sucking in air, some whistling low.

“How’s that going?” Calvin asks.

“She hasn’t rejected me yet, so I take that as a win,” he says.

“Good luck, Ezra,” Carter says. “I wish you the best,” he says and the rest

of us agree.

“Alpha Calvin, how is your Luna’s pregnancy coming along?” I ask, knowing Sophie will want to know.

“She’s doing very well. Our little girl is growing quickly.”

“Oh, you’re having a girl!” Robin says.

“Yes, we’re both very happy,” he says, smiling.

“Before we begin today, has anyone heard anything about any of the other Alphas moving against us, or more specifically against Hunter?” Kayce

asks.

“I’ve been trying to keep tabs on Joshua. He’s closest to my pack, or he is now that he’s taken over Elias‘ pack, but I haven’t seen anything. My scouts can’t get too close though. He’s got patrols running non–stop. However, we’re pretty sure that your previous Gamma is there now, Alpha Hunter, and that he’s running one of the packs for Joshua,” Calvin says.

“That doesn’t surprise me,” I say. “He got away when he attacked with Owen’s pack, the coward.”

The Alphas growl in agreement before turning our attention to Robin.

“Well, I wanted to get us together to discuss reinitiating the Committee of Alphas. I think the premise of the committee is a good one, even though we’d become so divided. Now, there are seven of us who, for the most part, agree on the direction of our future, leaving only four Alphas who don’t agree.”

“Probably soon to be three, if Joshua attacks me,” I say.

“Correct,” Robin says. “So, I wanted to get a show of hands on who agrees that we should implement a new Committee of Alphas,” Robin says, and all of us raise our hands.

“Any concerns?” he asks.

“How do we resolve differences of opinion?” Ezra asks.

“A good question and one that I don’t think we can answer today. I think we need to decide if we are to have a majority rule for our laws, or if we need complete agreement from every Alpha to implement a law,” Robin

says.

“I’d also recommend reviewing all of our laws once we decide how to proceed. Laws such as how we claim our mates are outdated. I’m sure that there are others as well,” I say.
