The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205

She chuckles, leaning in to get close to his ear. “Oh Joshua. I never gave you a pup because I refused to bring a child into a world where you were their father,” she says. I see the same shock on his face that I feel. She kept herself from getting pregnant?

“Goodbye,” she says, but this time, she’s looking at me.

“NO!” I scream and as if in slow motion, I see her claws clench, slicing into Joshua’s throat before ripping it out. He falls aside as Margot screams, clutching her chest with her bloody hand. I race forward, catching her before she hits the ground.

“I’m

sorry,” she says to me, and I can feel her life slipping away.

“No. I’m sorry. I told you I refused to lose another mate in this lifetime, and I meant it. This isn’t how I wanted to mark you. We’ll figure it out. I promise, we’ll figure it out. I’m sorry,” I say watching her eyes go wide before I pull her head to the side and sink my teeth into her marking spot.

She screams, but I don’t let go, holding her in the middle of a bloody battlefield, pumping my venom into her body, refusing to let her die.

It’s quickly apparent that Joshua brought both his and Elias‘ pack warriors to this war. The packhouse is quickly swarmed with wolves and men fighting to get to our weakest members. This isn’t just a battle

Chapter 205

to get Sophie, it’s a battle to decimate our pack, my family.

I know Sophie is worried about the women who aren’t fighters who are outside the safe rooms, women like Leah, but we don’t have long to worry before we’re in the middle of our own battle. I don’t know who is outside fighting besides Alpha Joshua, but they sent a Beta and two Gammas inside to get Sophie.

Our young mothers who are warriors are fantastic, holding their own easily, but those three, in particular, set theif sights on Sophie and because I’m with her, me as well. If we could shift, this wouldn’t even be a fight, but they must sense that I, too, am pregnant since I’m not shifting and they seem to decide that they don’t just want Sophie, but me as well. Like hell am I ever going to let someone take me from my mate or kill my pup.

Sophie’s a damn good fighter, better than I am, probably because she’s an Alpha. As a Beta, I’m a good fighter, a strong fighter, but I’m not as good as she is. However, you come into my house, threaten my family and my pup, I’ll go fucking berserker on your ass.

‘We both will,‘ Sybil, my wolf, snarls in my head. ‘No one hurts our pup.‘

So, Sophie and I stay back–to–back, just like Hunter and Lucas taught us. The Gammas are the ones who face off with us and the Beta is working to try and get Sophie. Between the two of us, we’re holding our own pretty well. I know I’ve taken some hits; I can feel the blood dripping down my legs and the Gamma in front of me has stayed in wolf form, making it harder for me to fight him. We’re all stronger in wolf form.

He’s just made a fatal error, and exposed himself too much to me, and I swipe, feeling my claws sink into his soft throat when I feel Sophie being jerked away from me.

I turn, seeing that the Beta was able to grab her, the Gamma still nipping at her to try and overpower her.

“Sophie!” I scream.

Lucas and I had created a word that if I got into trouble, I was to scream so that he’d know that we needed help.

‘FIRE!‘ I scream in the mind link. No one else may think twice about

the call, but Lucas will know. It’s not something that would alert the pack during a war, but it would tell Lucas that I was in trouble and needed help.

I turn, focusing my attention on the Gamma as the Beta begins dragging Sophie toward the back doors. As I begin fighting with this Gamma, I see that the safe room doors that are closest to us are being breached. My heart sinks. We’re losing. We’re going to lose and I’m going to lose everything that I’ve worked so hard to achieve.

I see some of the warriors realize that Sophie is being dragged off even though she’s still fighting against the Beta. None of us can get to her, myself included since I’m still focused on the Gamma in front of me, but my moment of distraction, at looking at the safe room door, costs me. The Gamma rakes his claws across my stomach, leaving bloody gashes behind.
