The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 228

Chapter 228

Kinsley returned to the packhouse last night for the funerals, but she’s resting in her room this morning. Once I finish checking on the others, I go to see her, knocking on their door.

“Come in,” she says, and I step into their bedroom. I’ve never been here before, but I can see Kinsley’s touch everywhere. I’m sure Lucas didn’t care what the room looked like, wanting Kinsley to be happy here, and maybe she didn’t add her touch until the two of them came together, but now, their space feels very homey, very much like Kinsley. I bet Lucas loves coming home to his room with her every night.

“I wanted to check on you. Hunter said you and your pup are safe, but Sybil is still quiet,” I say, walking up to the bed and sitting on the edge.

Kinsley takes my hand. We haven’t had any time alone together since the

war.

“I know I said it last night, but there was so much going on, Sophie, that I want to say again how sorry I am about your parents.”

“Thank you. They were good people. They deserved better.”

“Lucas said that Hunter is going to let you give the killing blow,” she says, looking surprised.

“Yes. I asked to do it. He deserves to die at the hands of the daughter of the man he killed. Obviously, I can’t fight, but Hunter will capture him and give me the chance to end his life.”

“Tell me about Amelia, or Alpha Amelia now, I guess,” she says.

Because it’s Kinsley, I tell her everything, including my own fears about Calvin retaliating.

“I’m with Lucas on this one. He and I talked about it briefly last night and I don’t understand how Calvin could work so hard to gain trust, to so easily toss it aside,” she says.

“I don’t know, and I don’t know what will happen with Amelia I’m afraid for her. She’s pregnant, alone basically, and her Beta was our father’s Beta. They didn’t have any sons to take over as Beta and their daughters have all found their mates and moved on. Her Gamma is younger, but maybe could move up, but I’d be worried about him challenging her for the Alpha position at a time when she’s vulnerable.”

“These are very interesting times, aren’t they?” she asks. “And it all started with you,” she says smiling at me. I ignore the reference to me being ‘the legend‘, and shift to a discussion about how she’s feeling. She thinks she feels Sybil moving around in her head a bit, but nothing concrete yet and that Dr. Felicity said the baby is doing well.

“Have you felt your baby move yet?” she asks me.

“I think so, but I’m not sure, have you?” I ask her.

“I think so. I wasn’t sure if it was me healing or if it was the baby,” she

says.

“I wasn’t sure if it was my stress making my stomach flutter, but if we’re both feeling it…” we squeeze each other’s hands and smile hugely.

“Hunter is going to be so excited when I tell him. Shaw won’t stay away from my stomach after that,” I laugh.

She laughs. “Dario either.”

‘Sophie, can you come to my office when you get a moment?‘ my mate’s voice flits through my mind.

“Alpha’s looking for you?” Kinsley asks when I refocus.

“Do I have a dopey smile on my face?” I ask her.

“The smile of a woman in love,” she clarifies.

I stand and look at my Beta, the woman who is probably my dearest friend. “What do the doctors say about when you’ll be well enough to get out of bed?” I ask her.

“That depends on Sybil. If I have to heal at a human’s pace, it’ll be closer to a week. But if she starts to resurface and heal me, then it will be much faster. My wounds aren’t so severe that she can’t heal them, it was protecting our pup that exhausted her.”

“She’s a good mother, just like you,” I say, leaning over to hug my friend. “Take care of yourself. I’ll come visit every day, just to keep you updated.”

“If there’s anything I can do from here, let me know. It’s going to be boring being stuck here all day. Lucas said he’d try to come visit but with everything going on…

”

“I’m sure he’s just happy to have you back over here and not in the hospital.”

“That makes two of us,” she says.

I say goodbye and head to Hunter’s office, rubbing my belly and thinking about what I want to tell him.
