The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 285

“Now, there is one thing you should know. I am leaving soon to go to Alpha Dutton and Alpha Amelia’s packs. Alpha Amelia is due to have her pup in a few weeks and my understanding is that they don’t have a good obstetrician there. Therefore, I’ll be gone for a few weeks until she delivers. I will leave you in the care of Dr. Felicity here, but mostly that will be for any type of emergency. I won’t leave until I’ve released you from the hospital and when I return, I’ll resume your care and treatment.”

“Alpha Amelia?”

He smiles. “Yes. She took over her father’s pack after…well, Alpha Alaric killed her father, and her mother followed him to the Moon

Goddess‘ realm.”

“A female Alpha?” I ask, shocked. “I can’t imagine that anyone is supporting her.”

“You’d be wrong. Alpha Hunter and Alpha Dutton both signed alliance agreements with her and both attacked Alpha Alaric with her.”

I frown. “They agreed to go to war with a female Alpha who is pregnant? What did her mate say?” I don’t usually gossip, but truly, this is unheard of.

impression that he does know, he’s just not willing to say. I like him more because of that.

There’s a knock at the door. “Come in, Brooklyn,” Dr. Caspian says, smiling as his focus moves to his mate.

“Jocelyn, Luna Sophie is here.”

Dr. Caspian looks at me. “She needs to know what our plan is. Are you comfortable talking to her about that or would you rather I do it privately?”

I shrug. “It’s fine.”

Sophie walks in tentatively, a small smile on her face, glancing at Dr. Caspian before looking at me.

“So? Good news I hope?”

I nod at my x–rays that are still on the wall. She turns and sucks in air at what she sees.

“Apparently, I’m humpty–dumpty after he had his great fall. But Dr. Caspian says he’s going to bring all the king’s horses and all the king’s men and try to put me back together again.”

Jocelyn’s x–rays look like a child tried to make a stick person using real sticks, except there was no way to really put them together, so they just poke out at all angles, in the basic image of a human body. I can’t imagine how much pain this woman is in. No wonder she’s so snarky. I would be too if I were living with this kind of pain, especially

with no welf to help ease it.

“So, you have a plan. Good: You’re comfortable with moving forward?” I ask, confirming that she’s making the decision. I don’t want her to think that she is being coerced in any way.

“Yeah. If it helps to alleviate even some of my pain or gives me a chance to walk with less pain, then I’m willing to try,” she says.

“Okay, we’ll have you here first thing in the morning. For tonight, what are your thoughts about where you’d like to stay? Your choices are with Alpha Zahn, in the packhouse in a separate room from Alpha Zahn, or in what my pack members call the Survivor’s Center.” I make sure to call him Alpha Zahn, not her mate, since I know she doesn’t consider him her mate.

“What’s the survivor center?”

I explain about the surviving mates wanting to be away from the noise of the packhouse.

“That sounds…peaceful, actually. I think I’d like to stay there, but I probably should tell Zahn what my plan is.”

“That’s up to you,” I tell her, reinforcing that she’s in control of her decisions.

“Let’s do that first, and then I’d like to rest.”

“Okay,” I say, getting her wheelchair and helping her to sit.
