The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225

“Either way, it will be hard for him to return home without his Luna. His pack will go into mourning, some may want to leave him. Just based on my interactions with your sister, I’m guessing that her pack adores her, nearly as much as your pack adores you. If that’s the case, they may blame Calvin for not being able to keep their Luna, and may turn against him, Ezra says.

I sit back, thinking about the mountain that my sister has to climb.

“I wish there was more that I could do to help her,” I say softly.

Hunter pulls my hand to his lips. “Well do everything we can, Sophie.”

I nod, getting lost in my own thoughts the rest of the way home.

When we arrive, Ezra leaps out of the car. “I’m going to shower and then I want to go check on Margot. If you need me, I’ll be in the pack hospital.”

We walk inside, and introduce Luna June to everyone, making sure we have a room set up for her. Ezra has barely made it to the stairs to his room when we hear her.

“WHERE IS HE? WHERE IS THAT ALPHA ASSHOLE?“.

Ezra stops, and turns back, a slow smile spreading across his face.

“There’s my sweet mate now.”

voice and something inside me relaxed. Not only is she okay, but she’s out for blood. My blood. Good. I’d rather fight her while she’s standing on her own two feet than while she’s lying unconscious in a hospital bed.

She turns when she hears my voice, bearing down on me hard.

“Who do you think you are, huh? How dare you mark me! You think you can just put your mark on me, and I’ll calmly submit to you?” she yells, slapping her palm hard against my chest. I have to fight not to smile. Damn, it’s good to see her fire back.

“I told you I wasn’t going to let you die,” I tell her calmly.

“That wasn’t your decision,” she says, smacking me again. Because I’ve marked her, I can feel her anger, and the hurt, but underneath that, there’s a twinge of happiness that I’m still here and that she is too.

“Joshua didn’t get to win. He didn’t get to have you in life and death. He didn’t deserve you and you deserve better than dying because of him,” I growl, putting my hand over hers and holding it against my chest.

She narrows her eyes at me. “And then, you don’t even have the decency to be there when I wake up? I have to hunt you down so I can yell at you?”

she continues.

I press my lips together and look away from her. I didn’t want to leave her, but Alpha Carter was a good Alpha, he deserved the respect of my attendance at his funeral.

‘I feel the shift in her as she reads my face. She turns, looking around,

suddenly realizing there are others in the room.

“Mother?” she asks, looking around and seeing Sophie and Hunter watching us. “What’s going on?”

“We weren’t the only ones who were attacked, Margot. Alpha Robin was attacked as was Alpha Dutton,” I say, and she turns back to me.

“What happened?” she asks softly.

“When Alpha Carter sent warriors to help Alpha Dutton, Alpha Alaric attacked him.”

She sucks in air and turns to look at Sophie, then her mother before looking back at me. Sophie has tucked her face against her mate and Luna June has tears in her eyes again.

“Alpha Carter?” she asks, her voice small.

“And Luna Amy,” I confirm, watching grief and horror fill her face.

“Mother,” she says, turning and going to her mother, holding her as her mother begins to cry softly again. She turns to look at Hunter and Sophie.

“Oh, Sophie, I’m so sorry. Is there anything I can do?”

“We just returned from laying them to rest,” Hunter says to her. “I need to take my mate upstairs. A lot has happened. Your mother and Alpha Ezra can fill you in.”

She turns and looks at me, her arm still around her mother.

“I brought your mother here, thinking you’d both be happier together,” I tell her.

I feel her surprise but also appreciation. “Thank you.”

An omega comes up, letting us know where Luna June’s room is and I grab her bags, following June and Margot to her room. Margot sits with
