The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 203

Chapter 203

I take a moment to revel in what might have been my last night on this earth. Brutus had made it the most memorable night of my life. He is a gentle and passionate lover, giving me pleasure that I never

experienced with Michael. I can still feel the soreness from him being inside me, his size much larger than what I’ve experienced before, or maybe it was the three times that I experienced it in one night. Either way, I will die a happy woman.

‘You’re not dying,‘ he growls in my head. He’s been in my head since the moment that the howls had gone up. Neither of us had been able to sleep, so we’d held each other, and Brutus had given me little pointers on where to punch, where to slice with Millie’s claws. She isn’t strong enough for me to shift yet, but she can extend her claws and Brutus made sure we both knew how to hit hard and puncture lungs.

“You don’t have to kill them. Maiming them like that will kill them slowly, but they can’t fight if they can’t breathe,” he said.

As the wolves rush into the packhouse, spreading out, Kathleen and I turn back–to–back. Millie extends her claws, and we prepare to fight.

When the call to battle had gone up, I’d been in Caspian’s arms, in his bed. We had both leaped out of bed, but he’d grabbed me, told me to be safe and kissed me with much less reserve than he’d ever kissed me before.

“I love you. I want you to know that, just in case…”

I had put my hand on his mouth.

“Tell me after and then we’ll talk about you marking me,” I had said and watched his eyes widen. He’d taken precious moments to kiss me again, fiercely and possessively before turning, shifting, and racing off to battle.

I’d thought about it while I laid in his arms. I know I still have a lot to get over after what Owen did to me, but he’s dead now, and Cas isn’t anything like Owen. I deserve to be happy and so does Caspian. We haven’t known each other long, but war makes you realize important things, makes you realize what is important. And there are two people in this world I can’t live without, my mother and my mate.

I know Brutus will do everything in his power to keep my mother safe, so I have to hope that giving Caspian something to live for will keep him alive as well. That’s my hope anyway, as I rush to the packhouse and begin checking off my roster as the people assigned to my safe

room enter.

When my mom rushes up, I hug her tightly, telling her I love her just before Beta Kinsley arrives to check on the status of my room. We get the last three people in just after Luna Sophie tells us that the packhouse has been breached.

I look at my mother one last time, hoping that I can convey with my eyes that I love her, and I need her to be alive when I open these doors again.

After I close the doors, I turn around to make sure that everyone is

settled. There is muffled crying in the room with young mothers cooing at their pups. trying to help them calm. We can hear the sounds of fighting outside and periodically, we all jerk when we hear the sound of something banging against our safe room door.

I’m not sure how long it’s been when we hear the sound of something battering against our door. Some of the people in the room cry out, some begin crying as the sound is repeated over and over. Someone is breaking into our safe room.

I stand, moving in front of everyone. “Stay calm,” I say, taking a deep breath like Caspian taught me to do when there’s a trauma. ‘You can’t help someone else if you’re panicked, Brooke,‘ he’d said to me.

Luna Sophie put her faith in me to be the Lead in this room. There will be wolves who need my help when this war is over. I need to stay alive, and I need to protect those in this room who are with me.

I stare at the door as I pull the gun from where I had tucked it in the back of my pants. I hear the gasps of the women behind me, but I stay focused on the door as it begins to give, the screeching sound of claws cutting through steel makes me want to cover my ears.

I quickly look down, making sure my gun is loaded, and that the safety is off before holding it facing down in front of me. I spread my legs apart, steadying myself and taking another deep breath.
