The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 232

“I do. I’m glad that you remember too. I’m hoping that you’ll remember my kindness to you and help my sisters,” he says.

“Sophie, how about an introduction,” Hunter says.

“My apologies. Hunter, this is Jaime. We met while I was on the run. He was hiding with a group of humans, if I remember correctly. He came back after they left the diner to check on me and to warn me about the ranked members hunting she–wolves on the run.”

“You looked after my mate? I am indebted to you,” Hunter says.

“I didn’t do anything, truly, other than make sure she was okay. Lone wolves look out for each other, and/she was a young, Alpha female, alone.”

“All the more reason that appreciate your assistance,” Hunter says. “I’m Alpha Hunter, Sophie’s mate. Welcome to our pack. You all look like you need food, a shower, and a warm bed.”

“I’m not asking for myself, just a safe place for my sisters,” Jaime says.

“We have plenty of room for you too, Jaime, if you’re tired of being on the run. Hunter and I were just talking about ways to expand our housing so that we can accommodate those who need our assistance, whether it’s short–term or forever,” I say, turning to the she–wolves. They’re both young, younger than Jaime, and I think one is underage.

I'm Luna Sophie and you are welcome here. May I have your names?”

“I’m Beth and this is Chloe,” the older of the two says. Even her voice sounds weak.

I take a chance and walk up to them, opening my arms and offering comfort. They both look at Jaime before falling into my arms and sobbing in relief. I see Jaime look down; his lips pressed tightly together. Everyone stays silent while I calm and soothe the girls. It’s not uncommon for those who find us to break down from the relief of finally being safe.

“Come with me,” I say, when they stop crying. “That goes for you too, Jaime,” I say, looking over at him.

“Thank you, Luna,” he says, then looks at Hunter to ensure that he’s okay with it too.

“She’s the boss. I just work here,” Hunter says, smiling at Jaime.

I snort, but as with all females coming into the pack, I take the lead.

“Let’s get you something to eat. While we do that, we can get you a room, some clothes, and once you’ve showered and rested, we’ll talk,” I say, turning to make sure that Jaime is following us. notice him looking at my stomach. “A lot has changed since I last saw you.”

“That feels like a lifetime ago. And I guess it was,” I say, smiling at Hunter. Jaime catches the exchange.

“So, he’s one of the good Alphas?” Jaime asks me.

“He’s the best there is,” I say proudly, smiling at my mate. The patrols aren’t surprised, but Jaime and his sisters are.

Hunter smiles warmly at me, but Jaime turns to him. “We should talk.”

“Is it urgent? You don’t look much better than your sisters.”

“Maybe we can talk over lunch and then I can rest. I’ll admit I’m pretty tired.”

“Their brother and my friend, Jaime,” I say, turning to look at him.

I frown at the look on Jaime’s face, looking at Hunter who is smiling at me.

“Never a dull moment around here,” Hunter says. I follow Jaime’s gaze and see Penny, staring back at him, both of their eyes wide.

“Do you two know each other?” I ask Penny.

Penny shakes her head but doesn’t look at me. “No, Luna.”

I frown, looking at Hunter, but it’s Jaime that speaks.

“Mate.”

Jaime

“Kinsley, can you make sure Beth and Chloe get something to eat?” I hear Sophia’s voice. No, not Sophia, Sophie. Luna Sophier She’s a Luna now.

“Jaime, why don’t we go find someplace to talk?” Alpha Hunter says beside me.
