The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 259

Chapter 259

As I walk back to my pack, helping Jasper, one of my warriors who suffered a pretty significant injury, I feel the exhaustion setting in again. I haven’t slept in days. My daughter seems to be upset that her father isn’t around and has been moving on–stop inside my stomach, pushing on me uncomfortably as if she’s searching for him.

I’d been riding the adrenaline high of killing Alaric but now that it’s done, I feel as if my body is shutting down. However, I don’t have that luxury. I’m an Alpha. My pack needs me and Alaric’s pack members who chose to follow me need me. I didn’t even realize that he’s standing there until I hear his voice.

“Amelia, what the fuck? You went to war and didn’t tell me?” I look up into the angry and fearful eyes of my mate. He’s looking me over, assessing my injuries.

“You were too far away, Calvin, and I didn’t need you,” I say, feeling much too tired to deal with his tirade.

“And neither of you thought to call me?” he snarls at Hunter and Dutton, making something snap inside me.

“Don’t you dare!” I snarl, releasing Jasper and stepping up to my mate. He may be taller than I am, but I step right up into his face.

“Don’t you dare blame them. As the Alpha of this pack, I did what was needed to kill the man who killed my parents. I requested assistance from those I’m in an alliance with, Alpha Calvin, so that MY pack could defeat their enemy. Do not come onto my pack lands and question me,” I growl at him.

I watch the surprise overtake the anger for a moment before he takes in my frustration. I don’t need him coming here and making more problems for me, I already have enough problems.

“If you had answered my calls, we could have talked about this,” he says, more calmly, although I can still feel him seething through the bond.

“I was rather preoccupied planning my revenge.” I say, not backing

down.

He grabs my wrist, pulling up the head that I’m still holding to look at it. “And it appears that you and your allies, were victorious,” he says, looking from Alaric’s head, to Hunter and Dutton as he growls out the last part.

“You would be correct.

“Perhaps we could talk about this after we’ve showered and preferably after I’ve fed my mate,” Hunter says diplomatically as he steps up.

I turn away from Calvin, realizing he hasn’t let go of my wrist. I don’t try to pull away from him, his touch is going a long way to easing the

‘I’ll take care of the new members and find showers for everyone. The pack hospital is filling up quickly, but we have showers there that can be used by multiple individuals at once,‘ Beta Caroline says.

“The pack hospital. We have a wall of showers there where you can shower off quickly. I’ll have food coming out by the time you get back,” I tell Hunter and Dutton, knowing they’ll send their warriors over there to shower as well.

“How full is your hospital?” Hunter asks me.

“Filling up quickly. Some of my warriors have some nasty injuries, but nothing that will keep them overnight. At least not that I know of so far.”

“I’m sending mine home, Amelia, but I’ll stay to make sure everything is settled before I head back,” Dutton says, and I can feel Calvin’s

I’ve grown surprise at the familiarity that Dutton is speaking to me. accustomed to it in the last several days as we’ve planned our attack.
