The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258

“Alpha Alaric, you have committed crimes against my pack. You did knowingly, and without cause, attack and murder my father, the Alpha, in cold blood. His death caused the death of my mother and the Luna of the pack. For your crimes, I sentènce you to death,” Amelia says, her strong voice ringing out over the field of warriors.

Alaric, the asshole, looks up and spits blood at our feet, causing both Hunter and Dutton to growl and yank his arms tighter.

“You’re nothing but a pretty twat. You can’t even keep your mate, much less defeat an Alpha. You needed them to get to me,” he taunts. I can feel his jabs hit home with Amelia, but I’m having none of it.

I squat down in front of him, feeling almost feral in my hatred of this man who not only killed my parents, but also mistreated his sister, my friend, Nikki.

“How does it feel, Alpha, to know that your life will end at the hands of not just two females, but two pregnant females. You’ll go down in history as the Alpha defeated by pregnant she–wolves. That will be your only legacy,” I taunt him, smiling viciously as he begins to thrash and yell obscenities.

I stand and look at Amelia. As one, we raise our right arms. Hunter grabs his hair, yanking Alaric’s head back. When Amelia nods, I swipe my hand down in a hard, fast swipe, ripping his throat out. Amelia’s swipe comes so quickly behind mine that I don’t even hear Alaric

gurgle on his blood. His body falls to the ground as Hunter holds his head up for everyone to see.

I feel tears prick my eyes, but I know I can’t relax yet. Amelia still needs to address Alaric’s old pack. She turns, looking at the men and women who are on their knees, some of them bloody, others sobbing in fear.

“Your Alpha is dead. If you believed in his ways, I will make sure that you follow him into death. If you want a new life, a new chance to make your lives better, come with me. If not, leave. This will be your one and only opportunity. Come to my pack and attempt to cause problems or betray me or my pack members, and I will kill you. The choice is yours,” she says reaching out to grab Alaric’s head.

“Bury the dead. I don’t want their stink drifting into our pack lands,” she says to her warriors, beginning to walk back to her pack.

“Yes, Alpha.”

”

“I will have breakfast prepared for all who fought for me and all who want to join my pack,” she says, turning to look at everyone before her eyes finally fall on mine.

“It’s done.”

I nod, and as she walks away, I move to Hunter’s side, needing his comfort.

“Are you

hurt? Are you injured in any way?” he asks, worry filling his tone as he looks me over.

“No, but you are. How bad is it?” I ask him, looking him over.

“Not bad. I was mostly worried about you.”

“Our new Gammas kept me very safe,” I tell him, smiling proudly at them. They, however, especially Jaime, have quite a few scratches and bite marks on them. I’m guessing that Jaime was doing his best to protect me and Penny.

“Come on, we need to feed my son, and I want a shower. I smell like Alaric which is ruining my appetite.”

“Qur pack members?” I ask.

“Are all alive. Some are injured and I’m sending them back home right after they eat.”

“Alpha Dutton?” I ask him, watching as he looks at what’s going on

around us.

“My pack members are all alive as well, Luna. Thank you for asking. Mine, however, can head straight home. I’m willing to take your injured too, if they need help, Hunter.”

“Thank you. I think I might have a few who could use help, and I think Amelia’s hospital might be pretty full.”

They talk as we walk. Up ahead, I see Amelia stop and help one of her warriors who has a bad injury on his leg. She wraps his arm over her shoulder and helps him to hobble back.

We make it back to her pack and she continues to hold her warrior

with one arm, carrying Alaric’s head in the other. We’ve just reached the edge of the forest that opens up to the back of the packhouse when I hear his voice.

“Amelia, what the fuck? You went to war and didn’t tell me?” Alpha Calvin says, looking shocked and angry.
