Chapter 265
Their Alpha and Luna have returned, and the pack is feeling settled again now that we’re back safely.
Hunter
After getting home and greeting the pack, a pack that feels so different, so much stronger now that Sophie is here, I head to my office. I need to let Robin and Nikki know that her brother is dead.
“Alpha Hunter, to what do I owe the pleasure?” The way he purrs pleasure lets me know that Nikki is either in his lap or right there.
“Is your mate there? I need to speak to both of you,” I say, my tone remaining serious.
It’s quiet a moment and I hear the phone shift to speaker. “We’re both here, Alpha Hunter. What’s happened? Is Sophie okay?” Nikki asks.
“Yes, she’s fine. I…I apologize in advance, Luna Nikki. I should have warned you before, but with everything going on…it’s too late now, but I apologize. I’ve just returned from Amelia’s pack. We attacked your brother’s pack. He’s dead.”
There’s a moment of silence.
“Good,” she growls. “He was a worthless Alpha. He was still my brother, but, after what he did to Sophie and Alpha Amelia’s parents, he got what he deserved,” she says.

“We know you were going to attack, Hunter. Sophie proclaimed it loudly when we were there for the funeral,” Robin says.
“I know. I just should have let you know it was coming. For that I am sorry.”
“Don’t be. Tell me you got Camden too,” Nikki says and Robin growls.
“No, he got away. There aren’t many places for him to go now, so I assume he’s making his way to Aiden’s pack, which is where I’m assuming Koden is as well.”
“Why not Zahn’s pack?” Robin asks and I tell them about his plans to bring his mate to our pack.
Robin whistles. “That’s why you wanted Alaric out of the way so quickly.
”
“Exactly,” I say, thankful that he understands without me having to explain.
“Rob,” I hear Nikki say with lilting purr in her voice. This is obviously how Nikki gets her way with her mate when she thinks he won’t agree with her. I smile, wanting to see how this plays out.

“I’m desperately feeling the need to go visit my good friend, Sophie. Maybe in a week or so we could go visit her?” Nikki asks sweetly. I snort. I didn’t have Nikki in my pack long, but I know that this sugary sweetness isn’t her normal. Or perhaps it’s a side of her that she reserves solely for Robin. The thought makes me miss Sophie and remember our intense love making earlier today.

Soph, der you want to come to my office and say hello to Nikki?‘ I ask in the mind link, using the excuse to have her close to me again.
‘On my way,‘ she says excitedly.
“Nikki,” Robin growls in warning. It doesn’t sound very convincing,
even to me.
“Oh please, Rob. I miss my friend,” she says as Sophie walks in. I smile so big it makes my mouth hurt when I see my mate, and I tap my leg for her to come sit. I put the phone on speaker.
“Say that again, Nikki,” I say as Sophie walks over to me, her eyes twinkling with happiness. Goddess, I love this woman.
“I said I miss my friend,” she says, now pouting.
“I miss you too, Nikki,” Sophie says, sitting on my lap. I pull her against me and Shaw immediately begins purring against her neck, sending shivers over her body.
“I was just telling Rob that we need to come visit you, Sophie. Maybe in a week or so,” she says as if this is a random timeframe. Sophie turns to me and frowns.
“I told them about Zahn and Jocelyn.”
“Her name is Jocelyn?” Nikki asks.

“Yes, and honestly Nikki, it might help if you do come. Besides wanting nothing more than to see you again, Jocelyn seemed… disappointed that, as the legend, I’m mated. Obviously, my experience

isn’t like hers, but you were on the run as well, injured protecting Allison and Letti…”
“Oh my goddess, Sophie! That’s a great idea. Rob, we should see if Allison and Kayce will join us. We could all get together, like a reunion of sorts, and it sounds like Jocelyn could use the support, Nikki says to Robin.

Sophie turns and frowns at me again, obviously confused by Nikki’s sweet, manipulative manner with Robin. I shake my head and chuckle. I already know that Robin has lost this battle, if it even was one. Although, I’m pretty sure that the two of them enjoy their little verbal sparring matches.
“Why do you say she seemed disappointed in you, Sophie?” Robin asks, catching onto the part that was most important to Sophie.
