The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253

“Let’s do an exam on you, make sure you don’t have any scar tissue that will make this harder than it will already be for you. Then, once I‘ m sure that I won’t hurt you, or at least, not too much, then I’ll make you mine forever, Brooklyn. You’ve made me a very, very happy man,‘ he says, scooping me up and swinging me around again as I wrap my arms around him, laughing happily, feeling settled, and knowing that I’ll finally be able to leave that horrible day behind me.

Hunter

The conversation with Dutton and Amelia went well. She included her Beta in the conversation, and he provided additional insights into Alaric’s pack and where he thinks they have weaknesses.

We agreed to surround the pack prior to the attack. Sophie is going to go to Amelia’s pack and wait there while our pack takes the east side of Alaric’s pack. Amelia and her pack, already being on the west side, will attack from that direction, and Dutton and his pack will attack from the south. That only leaves the north, but it pushes them toward my pack and our warriors will be ready and waiting.

After the call with Amelia, I call Lucas into my office.

“I’m leaving you here to run the pack while I’m gone. We’re still at risk of another attack and it’s possible that those fleeing from Alaric’s pack will come this way and may need to be taken out.”

“Are we taking out everyone?” he asks, and I sigh. This is the problem.

I’m not sure how many will run because they want to escape, and how many will run because they are going to lose.

“You’ll have to use your best judgement. I trust you to make that decision.”

I watch as the weight of my words settles on his shoulders.

“Have you given any more consideration to taking over a pack?” I ask

him.

He sighs and scrubs his face. “I’d be a fool not to, right? I mean, I love it here. I love being your Beta and I love this pack. But, as Kinsley said, you don’t turn away from opportunities like this. If I don’t get it, I’ll be perfectly fine remaining your Beta, but…I think I have to try.”

“I’d be disappointed in you if you didn’t,” I tell him.

“You make it sound like I’m going to get a pack.”

“There will be four available once we take out Alaric. I haven’t met all the other Betas, but Ezra mentioned that his Beta would make a good Alpha and leader for a pack. I know you will. With four, there’s a lot

Lucas. of opportunity for people to move up. And it’s not just for you, Think of what that means for your pup.”

“Yeah, I know. I have and that’s why I know I’ll go for it. I may love being your Beta, but my pup may not like yours,” he says, smiling.

“Our

pups will be best friend regardless of if they are Alpha and Beta or two Alphas,” I say.

“Yeah, they will,” he says, getting serious again. “Thank you for believing in me.

“This is all you, Lucas, But I know you can do it. However, if you win a pack and Penny doesn’t agree to be my Gamma, I’m not going to be happy.” I say seriously.

“Then let’s hope she says yes,” he says.

That night. I spend time making love to my fate, then I curl up next to her stomach and talk to my son. These moments are so special to me, where things are quiet, and I can open myself to feeling Sophie’s love and adoration for me as she watches me talk to our son.

“What are we going to name him?” I ask, looking up at her.

“I don’t know. I haven’t given it much thought. Although, both of our fathers are gone now. That would be a nice way to remember them,”

she says.

“My father’s name was Huntington. Obviously, I was named after him.”

“Your parents had a thing for giving names that meant hunter. Yours is obvious, but your father’s means something like a hunter’s settlement and, of course, Diana is the goddess of the hunt. What was your mother’s name?” she asks.

I smile

up

at her. “Rachel.”

She snorts. “So, a family of hunters then.”

“Yes, it’s sort of a thing.”

“Should we continue that trend?”

“Well. Sophie means wisdom. So, perhaps we could name our children after wise hunters,” I say, loving that we’re talking about naming our pups, plural.

“Well, my family didn’t do the whole naming thing. But I would like to give my father’s name to our pup. What about Huntington Carter?” she asks, rubbing her stomach.
