The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 282

Chapter 282

“Don’t even think about trying to keep my mate from me. I came here in good faith, for your assistance. Not so you could steal my mate.”

“I have a mate. I don’t need yours,” I say.

“And let’s be honest, Alpha Zahn, it’s not like Luna Jocelyn is exactly trying to stay with you. You need Hunter’s help because your ways aren’t working. Why don’t you try accepting his way, Sophie’s way, before you started acting all high and mighty about your first fifteen minutes in this pack. We all saw your mate’s disdain for you. If you’d have bothered to pay attention, you would have realized that you didn’t see any of that from our mates,” Lucas says.

”

“Our mates are here to visit with their friends, but they also came to help your mate, Alpha Zahn. You have three incredible Lunas and a Beta willing to give their time to work with your mate, who obviously still has a lot of trauma. Do yourself and your mate a favor, sit back, relax, and let our mates help yours,” Kayee adds.

I watch as Alpha Zahn heaves in air, trying to gain controf of his anger. When his fists finally unclench, I know he’s at least somewhat in control.

“Fine. Show me to my room, please.”

He turns and goes to the car, pulling bags out of the trunk. I go to help him, grabbing several bags, crutches, and a cane. When we get into the packhouse, I stop.

“You can leave Luna Jocelyn’s things here by the door. I’m not sure where she’s staying yet.”

“She’s staying with me,” he growls, his fists clenching again.

“That’s up to her, not you,” I tell him.

“I believe my mate has come up with several options for Luna Jocelyn, one of which is to share a room with you. But as Alpha Hunter says, it will be up to your mate to decide,” Lucas says.

“Perhaps you give your mates too much authority,” he snaps.

“Perhaps you don’t give yours enough,” I snap back.

“A woman should have no authority to make decisions…”

“Tell that to Alpha Amelia. She’s taken over her father’s pack. Did you hear?” Robin asks, still taunting.

“And did you hear that she and her allies defeated and killed Alpha Alaric for killing her parents?” Kayce adds, leaving out the part about me being one of her allies.

I watch Zahn’s eyes widen in surprise. “A woman Alpha? Who would ever ally themselves with a she–wolf?”

“I would,” alf three of us say at once.

“As a matter of fact, I had planned to contact Alpha Amelia while I was here to see if it would be possible for me and my mate to sign an alliance agreement with her,” Robin says, smiling an unpleasant smile.

He’s enjoying provoking Zahn. I have to admit, the man is a disgrace to Alphas.

“You AND your mate?” Zahn sneers. “What kind of Alpha are you?”

“The kind that loves and respects his mate, who is also an Alpha female and who, I’d wager, could kick your ass in a fight if she wasn’t carrying my pup.” Robin says, stepping forward. Kayce puts a hand on

his chest.

“Perhaps you should go to your room, Alpha Zahn. We’ve given you a lot to think about,” I say, trying to diffuse a fight. I’m not opposed to beating the shit out of Zahn, but I’d rather it wasn’t within minutes of his arrival. I really do want to give him a chance to see the changes that I know will happen in Jocelyn. Maybe if he sees it firsthand, he’ll realize that the old ways, his ways, are wrong.

Zahn turns to head toward the side of the house for ranked members.

“Alpha Zahn, I’ve put you on the warrior’s side of the packhouse,” I

say.

He stops and turns to glare at me. “And why is that?”

“First, I don’t trust you around my mate, my Beta’s mate, or my Gamma. Second, your mate will be given the option to stay on the Alpha floor. If she agrees to be placed in a room with you, then we’ll consider moving you to a more comfortable location,” I say with no apology.

“Your Gamma?” he asks.

smile, holding myself back from taunting him like Robin has been. “I promoted a female to my Gamma position. Her mate is the son of a Lead Warrior and once she comes of age and they mate, I know they’ll be a powerful Gamma couple.” I don’t mention anything about their possible promotions because Zahn knows nothing of us planning to take over the other packs.
