The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220

Her head snaps up and she looks at her friends before walking over. I tap my thigh and she curls up in my lap. I wrap my arms around her kissing her forehead. I hate the sadness I still feel inside her and I know it will be there for a long time to come.

“We’re talking about what to do with your parents‘ pack. Would you or Amelia want to take the Alpha role for this pack?” I ask her. I’m not sure what Amelia would say, but I know my mate.

She sits up and looks at me. “How would that work? Our pack is too far away for us to effectively run this pack. Until Alaric is destroyed and even after that, this pack needs on–site leadership, as does our pack. We can’t split our time between two packs, Hunter. We would be doing a disservice to both of them. Even if we had strong Betas and Gammas in both packs, it would put a strain on us and we’re going to have a pup in a few months. I have no intention of staying in one pack while you go manage the other. No, we need to come up with a better idea, something that will work for the pack members here as well,” she says, turning to the other Alphas. “Don’t you agree?”

“Some do, not all,” I say, pulling her back against me.

“Who doesn’t agree?” she asks, sitting up again. My mate is about to go all Alpha on Calvin. I hope he’s ready for it.

“Your sister is in line to take over this pack now that your parents are gone, Luna Sophie.”

“Amelia? She never wanted to an Alpha. Why would you even think that?” Sophie asks, as if he should know his mate better than she does,

which he should.

“It’s not a matter of what she wants, it’s about duty,” he says.

“Duty to whom, Alpha? To you? Because it certainly wouldn’t be dutiful to this pack. Are you planning to leave her here to run things while you go home? Are you going to send her to your pack while you stay here and manage this one? To keep them safe from Alaric? That makes no sense and if you don’t know it, I can tell you that Amelia wouldn’t want that.

“I’m pretty sure I know my mate better than you do,” he says, condescendingly.

“It doesn’t appear so,” my mate says angrily.

“This all seems very tense,” Nikki says, walking over and curling up in Robin’s lap.

“Very tense,” Allison agrees, sitting on Kayce’s lap.

Dutton somehow manages to have both twins sit in his lap, one arm around each of them. Amelia, however, is still the odd one out. Rather than sitting on Calvin’s lap like the others have done, she sits beside him. He takes her hand, but it’s a stark contrast between them and the rest of

1. us.

“What’s all this about, Calvin?” Amelia asks, seeing my mate and hers squaring off.

“If nothing else, our son should be heir to this pack,” Calvin says, still focused on Sophie.

“Luna Amelia,” I say, interrupting whatever Sophie was about to spit out to Calvin. I can feel her anger at Calvin, and I don’t blame her. “We’re discussing what should happen with your parents‘ pack.”

Amelia looks at Calvin and frowns. “You want me to take over as Alpha?” she asks him, catching up quickly.

Sophie sits back and I wrap my arms around her, placing my hands on her growing stomach. She puts her hands over mine, intertwining them.

“It’s your right. Alpha Hunter suggested opening up the packs to allow others to come in and take them over. For a pack like Owen’s, I would agree, but you are the rightful heir to this pack, Amelia. You should take your place here, as Alpha.”

She looks at him like he’s lost his mind. “How would that even work?”

“We’d have to figure that out, Ame, but it’s your right. Our son’s right.”

“What son? Your first-born son? Your second? Because right now, all you have is a future daughter,” Sophie says snarkily.

‘Easy, baby. Let Amelia take on her mate. I think both of them have forgotten that she’s an Alpha,‘ I say in the mind link.

“Sophie’s right, Calvin. They’re closer to having an heir for this pack than we are. And what are you even suggesting? That I live here, and you come for conjugal visits from time to time? That I stay here with our pups, and when we someday have a son, I send him to live with you and keep the others here with me to raise? Is that what you want? To live separate others here with me to raise? Is that w lives?”
