The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 266

Chapter 266

“It was her tone. It was like I’d disappointed her because I’m mated.”

It’s quiet a moment.

“How bad is she?” Nikki asks, all teasing and playfulness gone from her voice.

“Bad.” I say.

“Is she mobile?” Robin asks.

“We’re not sure, but I intend to have Dr. Caspian and Brooklyn look her over.”

“How is Brooklyn?” Nikki asks.

I look at Sophie, who smiles. “I was just over at the hospital and she’s wearing a brand–new mate mark.”

“AHH! I’m so happy for her!” Nikki says and I can almost bouncing in Robin’s lap excitedly. “Seriously, Rob. We have to go!”

He sighs exaggeratedly, as if pleasing his mate is such a difficult task. “Fine, we’ll go.”

She squeals and it sounds like she throws her arms around him, making him chuckle.

“Do you want to call Kayce, or…” he begins.

“Oh, I’ll call Allison,” Nikki says. “What day do you want us there, Sophie?”

“Well, if you come the day before, the three of us could catch up together. Then, after Jocelyn gets here and gets settled, we could tag- team her, make sure she’s never alone, that she feels safe.”

“What about Zahn?” Robin asks.

Sophie tells them her plan and that Zahn, not necessarily fully informed, has agreed to whatever Sophie thinks is necessary.

“Do you think he’s serious?” Nikki asks.

“I’m not sure, but it doesn’t matter if he is. She needs our help,” Sophie says, vehemently.

“I agree. We’ll support you, no matter what. I don’t know how long we can stay,” she says, breaking off and obviously looking at Robin for an

answer.

“I’ll have to see what’s going on in the pack and what I can put off while were away. Are we having the Alpha meeting before then?”

“I’d like to. I don’t intend to include Zahn in that discussion.”

“Oh, Nikki, wait until I tell you about Calvin showing up as we were coming back from killing…oh…oh sorry,” she says, and I feel her concern and shame for not recognizing that Alaric was Nikki’s brother.

“That’s okay. My piece of shit brother needed to die. And Calvin

showed up? He didn’t know about the war either?” she asks excitedly, and I can tell this is about to devolve into a gossip conversation. I’d care more if my mate wasn’t comfortably seated in my lap.

“He didn’t. I’ll tell you and Allison all about it when you’re here. You can tell me what you think and maybe by then, we’ll know more about how all of that is going to play out.”

“Interesting!” Nikki says.

“I don’t imagine that he was happy to find out that his pregnant mate was in a war he didn’t even know about,” Robin says astutely.

“No, he was not. Amelia, however, is much like Sophie. She’s a strong woman, a good Alpha from what I can see. Dutton and I signed alliances with her while we were there.”

“Good. That’s good. It should go a long way to letting the pack know that we, the other Alphas, truly support her.”

“UH! We have so much to catch up on, Sophie! I can’t wait to see you!”

“I can’t wait to see you either. It feels like forever, even though I know it’s only been a couple of months.”

“I know. I’m looking forward to it and once I confirm with Allison that she and Kayce are coming, I’ll let you know.”

“Sounds good. Oh and, Nikki, just so you know, we’ve made Penny our Gamma. She found her mate, but SHE’S our Gamma,” Sophie says, turning and smiling at me. We both know this will make Nikki

happy.

“See Rob!” she says instead with a note of anger in her tone. “I told you we should offer our Gamma position to Letti! One day, you and I will become the trendsetters and it’ll be Hunter and Sophie following in OUR footsteps.

“Yes, dear,” he says contritely, making me bark out a laugh.

Nikki growls at him and I reach out to the phone.

“Talk to you soon. Let me know if you need anything.” I say, quickly hanging up. I’m guessing they’ll argue and then make up before they ever leave Robin’s office.

Then I focus on my mate, and my pretty mark on her neck.

“Now, what’s this about Brooklyn having her mate mark?” I ask, kissing my mate’s neck and sucking on her mate mark, making her moan softly as she tells me yet more good news about our pack.

Sophie

I’m so excited that my friends are coming to visit. I was fine spending time with Jocelyn, even if she’s angry and feels betrayed by me for finding my mate, but it will be easier with my friends and fellow Lunas here. It will also take some of the pressure off of Kinsley, who I think felt badly that Lucas was upset about her being the only one who knows something of what Jocelyn is going through.
