The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 281

Chapter 281

As she gets me settled into the bed, she tells me about Alpha Hunter claiming his Luna privately and bringing her home to the pack. She explains how he gave everyone twenty–four hours to decide if they were willing to live with a Luna who had been claimed privately and if not, they could leave. After that, if they challenged her, they would be killed.

“That’s why I ended up leaving the pack. My father was friends with our old Gamma and believed in the old ways. He didn’t even try to protect me when Alpha Owen claimed me. He even held my mother back, not letting her come to me.”

”

“Where is your father now?” I ask.

She looks me in the eye and there’s a strength there that I didn’t notice

before.

“Dead. I killed him.”

That shocks me.

”

“And Alpha Owen?”

“Also dead. Alpha Hunter brought him back from the council meeting after Luna Margot knocked him out for attacking Luna Sophie. He wanted Luna Sophie. Longer story about how he almost caught and claimed our Luna when she was on the run, but suffice it to say, he wanted her. Rather than killing Owen, he gave me the option to do it.

“And did you?”

“No, but my mother did.” she says, smiling.

“Your mother, who I’m assuming is also an omega, killed an Alpha?” I asked shocked. Even if the Alpha was being held, most omegas wouldn’t have the strength to behead an Alpha, especially an omega who lost their mate.

“Well, she and her second chance mate did. She ripped out his throat and Brutus severed his head from his body.”

“Your mother found her second chance mate? What is with this pack? Does everyone find their mate here?”

“This pack is special. After you’ve been here for a while, you’ll feel it. It’s impossible not to. At first, you won’t believe it, you’ll think it’s fake. Everyone who comes here seeking sanctuary does. But over time, you realize that it’s not just our Alpha and Luna, not just our Betas, it‘ s everyone, it’s everywhere you look. There is so much love, so much camaraderie in this pack. It’s a wonderful place to live. Our Alpha and Luna have created something very beautiful here.”

I settle back in the bed as Brooklyn begins asking me questions about my injuries and what treatment I’ve already received. While we talk, I think about what she’s said. She has no reason to lie and based on my experience in Zahn’s pack, the hospital nurses are the ones who know everything that is going on in the pack. So, if this woman, who has arguably been through more trauma than I have, has healed and is doing so well, perhaps, over time, I can heal too.

Chapter 281

watch as Zahn gets himself under control while Sophie, Nikki, Allison, and Kinsley walk away with Jocelyn.

He turns and glares at me. “I didn’t think you were serious about letting her keep me from my mate.”

“You asked for our help. You’re getting it. Not only was I serious about letting Sophie do this her way, but I was also serious about keeping you under 24–hour surveillance,” I say as Brutus and William, another large warrior, walk up. “Sophie is in charge of your mate now. She gets to say if and when you see Jocelyn. Since it doesn’t look like Jocelyn wants to see you, I’d suggest that you get settled in. I hope you brought your computer with you so you can get some work done.”

“How is she supposed to fix my mate bond if we aren’t together?” he growls.

“Neither of us ever said we were going to fix your mate bond, Alpha

the Zahn. We said we would try to help you and right now, person who needs help, is Jocelyn. If you don’t like it, you’re welcome to leave.”

“I’m not leaving without my mate,” he growls.
