The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 191

Chapter 191

I sigh and look over my warriors. “I know this is a hard time. I would love to tell you that every one of us will survive, but they aren’t coming here for anything less than blood and death. I expect that Joshua’s primary target will be Margot, but I also think he’ll push to kill me and force your Luna into a mate bond to punish Margot. If he succeeds in killing me, my mate will need protection, our pup will need protection, because I know that Joshua won’t hesitate to kill my son.”

There’s a lot of murmuring and some growling at the thought of Joshua killing me and my son and taking Sophie as his mate.

“We’re a pack, a family. As your leader, I am extremely proud of what our pack has accomplished and the type of pack that we’ve become over the last several months since I took Sophie as my mate. I didn’t know that our pack could be stronger, but it is now. I feel the cohesion between us, between all of us, and this fight is for all of us, not just the ranked she–wolves, not just for Margot, and not just for me and

your

Luna. This is about our future, the kind of future we want for our pups to grow up in, setting the standard that what we have here in this pack is the norm, not the exception. So, I’m asking all of you to risk your lives, not just for your mates and pups, but for all of our mates and pups, because that’s the kind of pack, the kind of family that we are. We serve and protect each other.

I take another breath, feeling the weight of my words as they settle over the pack’s warriors. “Lucas and I will be right there beside you.

We are the first line of defense for this pack and our families. And while I’m willing to die for each and every one of you, we need to make sure that we help each other, fight together, have each other’s backs. I want as few casualties as possible in this war. In a week, in two weeks, I want to look out over this group and see every one of your faces. So, when the war comes, fight together, protect each other, look out for each other, and let’s all survive this. Let’s show Joshua and any other Alpha that wants to come try and take what’s ours what happens when they threaten us, threaten our families.”

There’s a lot of howling, snarling, and growling as my warriors get pumped up, ready for battle.

When the noise dies down, I nod. “Alright, let’s get to it.”

Today’s warrior training is the toughest, hardest training I think we’ve ever had. Every one of my warriors feels the pressure of the pending war and they all want to win, win and survive.

Rather than going around and giving pointers, Lucas and I take the opportunity to train as well, fighting hard and not pulling punches. When we’re done, I’m satisfied that Lucas is nearly as strong as I am and that his fighting skill is as keen as mine.

r

When we finally call the end of training, all of us are sweating profusely, but the feeling in the air is one of determination, a need and desire to win.

Lucas and I spend some time talking to our warriors, answering questions about how they can better protect their families, especially their

pups, so we’re the last to head inside for breakfast.

As I begin walking in, one of my warriors comes running out.

“Alpha, you’ve got to come see this,” he says.

I look at Lucas before picking up my pace and jogging into the packhouse. When I do, I see all of the warriors that just left training standing around, watching the front of the packhouse.

I walk through them, hearing my mate’s voice, strong and confident.

“Just because we are not able to be on the battlefield doesn’t mean that we cannot fight. Any one of you who chooses to fight, may do so. Kinsley and I will make sure that everyone’s pups are looked after and cared for if both parents are on the battlefield.”

As I approach, I see that nearly every she–wolf in our pack, even those who haven’t yet joined our pack, are here, listening to Sophie and Kinsley.

Their eyes all flash to me, and I put my hands on my mate’s hips, leaning down to kiss the top of her head.

“Sophie, what’s this?” I ask her.

She turns her head to look up at me and I see the same fiefce determination in her eyes that I felt from my warriors on the battlefield.
