The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 250

Chapter 250

“What do you call the other Alphas?”

“The ones I’m friendly with, I call by their first names.‘

“Then, I’d like to be treated the same. It would strange for you to be in my pack calling Alpha Dutton, Dutton, but me Alpha Amelia, wouldn‘ t you agree?”

“I would. Also, the casualness of using first names lets the pack now that there is a friendliness between us, that our alliance is strong.”

“Thank you, Alpha. I mean, thank you, Hunter. I’m still trying to figure out the nuances of my new position.“/

“How’s it going?” I ask. If she’s willing to accept my assistance or my guidance, I’m happy to provide it. Not only because she’s Sophie’s sister, but I think that much like Sophie, Amelia has a strength that she’s never tapped into before.

“You want the truth?”

“I can’t help you if you aren’t honest with me,” I tell her.

I hear rustling and then a door quietly closing before I hear more rustling.

“I’m exhausted. I feel like I’m playing pretend, acting like an Alpha rather than truly being one.

“The exhaustion I understand although I’d guess that yours is more extreme that the usual Alpha exhaustion due to being pregnant and not having your mate around. Those two things would only add to your fatigue. And add to that, you’re still processing your grief over the loss of your parents, and you’ve now taken on the grief of the entire pack as their Alpha. I’m guessing you’re not sleeping well either?”

“You’d be correct.”

“I’m not surprised. You have a lot going on, Amelia. But I will tell you that it doesn’t feel like you’re playing pretend Alpha. It feels very much like you are taking on your role, jumping in with both feet, and running with it. I think that taking out Alpha Alaric will go a long way to helping the pack find peace.”

“Does that mean that Dutton agreed to fight with us?”

“He did, but even if he hadn’t, our packs would take out Alaric. It will just be easier and will go a long way to showing your pack that you are continuing the strong alliances that your father started.”

“Regarding that, how do I go about sealing or confirming an alliance with each of the packs?”

I lean forward and open my computer. “Give me your email address and I’ll send you the template for the documents that need to be signed. The paperwork isn’t as important as the bond between the packs, but it does signify that both sides have agreed to be in an alliance. You’ll want to get one with Dutton as well. We can sign them when we come to attack Alaric. And then, you can reach out to Kayce, Robin, and Ezra too, if you’d like to create and confirm alliances with them. That’s up to you. You can have positive

relationships with other packs without an alliance, but it seals the bond and gives you the right to go to war if they ever go against you. The alliance paperwork is good until one party terminates it, or the Alpha position changes hands,” I tell her.

“I think I’ve had enough war to last me a lifetime,” she says.

“We all have, but the wars aren’t over yet.”

“I know. Is it wrong that I wish all of this was behind me?”

“Nope, you’d be right there with the rest of us.”

She sighs. “Okay, so what’s next?”

“Let’s schedule a call with Dutton this afternoon. We’ll need a strategy. Have you thought of how you want to proceed with the attack?” I ask.

“That’s not really my strong suit,” she huffs.

“That’s okay. Why don’t you and I talk it out a little. Dutton may have other ideas, and that’s okay, too. Taking his ideas doesn’t‘ make you weak, it makes you a good Alpha who looks at all sides of the problem

୮ and comes to a good solution.”

She laughs softly. “I can see why Sophie is so in love with you. You’re very supportive without needing to exert your dominance or prove your strength. It’s refreshing.”

“I’ll tell you what I told Sophie, Amelia. Both of you are stronger than you know. You may feel like the world is coming at you from all sides

right now, but I guarantee that when the dust settles and all is said and done, you’ll still be standing on your feet.”

“Thank you, Hunter. I think I needed to know that someone believes in

me.”

“Make sure you believe in yourself, Amelia. The pack will feel it if you don’t.”

“That’s good advice, and once I figure out how to do that, I will. Now, about this battle. What are your thoughts?”
