The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 193

Chapter 193

I’m a bit surprised but also pleased when so many of us raise our hands to volunteer to come out of the safe rooms.

“Luna, you know your mate will argue with me fighting, but I need to be out there,” Luna Margot says.

“And you will be. But not all of us have to be outside. What I’m proposing for some of you, especially those whose pups that are in the safe rooms, is that we set up a line of defense inside the packhouse. If the attacking packs get past warriors, they will come here, hoping to destroy us, hoping to kill our most vulnerable population. We won’t ost vulnerable population. We won’t allow that to happen. We,

Our

“group will be the second line of

defense against our enemies to protect those who cannot protect themselves.”

I watch as the others look at each other. There is a sense of relief

among the young mothers, but also among those like me. My pup may not be young, but she’ll be in a safe room, and I can stand guard and help to keep her safe like I should have always done.

“I will also want leads in the safe rooms, those who can be the third line of defense if the attacking wolves get past us. We all have a part to play in this war. All of our lives depend on us winning this war.

”

When Alpha Hunter walks in, we all wait to see what he will do. In every interaction he’s had with our Luna, I’ve been surprised, and today is no different. Everyone can see that he doesn’t like what Luna

“How much longer, Soph? The warriors, all of this pack’s warriors, need to eat,” Alpha Hunter says, looking at our group and including us as warriors. I feel pride at his words, at his recognition that we are fighters too, and almost as one, the group stands taller, happy to have pleased our Alpha.

“I’ll go check,” Beta Kinsley says.

“I’ll go with you,” I say along with a few others. “You have my preference, Luna.”

”

“I do, thank you, Leah.”

As I turn to walk into the kitchen behind Beta Kinsley, I see Brutus watching me closely. He and I have spent a lot of time together since I woke up after Michael’s death. Perhaps it’s because I had already left Michael, or maybe it’s because he and I were never as close as mates should be to begin with, but my relationship with Brutus is moving much more quickly than I ever would have expected. The more time I spend with him, the stronger my wolf becomes, which was the second surprise to me. Not only did I not die after Michael did, but I still have my wolf.

I help get the food ready and just as we’re about to set the food out, the rest of the omegas come rushing in to help, the meeting with Luna Sophie is over.

Warriors go first. However, most of them are talking to their mates, especially the ones who have young pups whose mates volunteered to stay outside of the safe rooms.

“Let’s find a private place and talk, Leah,” Brutus says.

I turn and see his intense eyes on me. Those intense eyes burned like fine last night when I gave myself to him for the first time. Being with Brutus is unlike anything I ever experienced with Michael. Brutus is a huge man, but he’s so gentle with me and while he’s larger than Michael, rather than feeling pain during our lovemaking, I felt a fullness that I’d never felt before, one that has left me aching to be filled again.

I nod and we fill our plates, mine much less than Brutus‘, before finding a table off to the side of the many conversations going on, some with angry words and gestures and some with hugging and holding on to each other.
