The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 289

“Easy, Hunter,” he says, raising his hands. “I’m your friend. I was just going to suggest washing your hands before you go find Sophie. You don’t want her worrying about you,” he says, and I look down at my hands that are covered in blood.

“Sorry,” I say, frowning.

“Don’t be. I’ve gone nearly feral at the thought of Camden still being out there and wanting my mate. It’s not the same kind of threat, but it’s a threat nonetheless.”

“Thank you both, for pulling me off of him. I don’t want to go to war with another pack if I can help it. But if he does it again…”

“You have witnesses, lots of them, that he was warned,” Kayce says.

I nod, walking into the nearly empty packhouse.

“Alpha, our Luna was headed to the Survivor’s Center,” one of my omegas says to me.

“Thank you, Eliza. I’m going to wash up and go find her.”

“She seemed okay, Alpha. Not injured at all,” she says, trying to comfort me, but obviously worried about her Luna.

I stop, and smile at her. “Alpha Zahn did not lay a hand on her, otherwise, he’d be dead. I’m sure she’s okay, but after I wash

make sure of it.”

That makes her smile. “Thank you, Alpha,” she says, as if I’m doing her a big favor by checking on my mate. And maybe I am. Our pack obviously adores Sophie.

I wash my hands while Robin and Kayce wait patiently to join me. Their mates are with mine. As I step back out, I see a large group of warriors dragging Zahn back to his room.

“I can walk,” he growls. I hear the thump of a fist punching into flesh and then the air whooshing out of Zahn’s mouth. Obviously, my warriors aren’t putting up with his shit anymore either.

I lead Robin and Kayce down the trail that Sophie created to the Survivor Center. It’s a nice, calm space and I can feel my mind starting to relax even before I see my mate and her friends coming our way.

Her smile does the rest, and I feel the tight band that was squeezing my heart let go as the world fades away and all that’s left is Sophie.

I walk up to her, pulling her into my arms. “Are you okay?”

“Of course I am, Hunter. You made sure of it. Are you okay?” she

r asks, wrapping her arms around me. Our son is keeping me from pressing her as tightly as I’d like, but since I can feel him moving around, I don’t mind.

“I’m better now,” I say, not letting her go. I bury my face in her hair and take deep breaths of her orchid scent.

“We need to get Sophie a magic wand,” Nikki says, bringing me back

“Yeah, with all that pixie dust she’s spreading around, she needs one,” Allison says.

I pull back and smile down at my mate. “Pixie dust?”

“Jocelyn thanked Sophie for helping her,” Nikki says, and I raise an eyebrow.

“Even by your typical standards, that’s fast, Sophie.”

She shrugs, not taking the credit she deserves for being the incredible woman she is.

“She said we’ve given her the freedom that she’s been wanting and missing. How’s Zahn?”

“Alive,” I growl.

“You should have seen it, Nikki,” Robin says.

“What did I miss?” she asks as if it’s a big deal that Robin got to see something she didn’t. Their relationship back home must be a constant competition. A fun one, I’m sure, but constant. I’m glad that’s not the relationship I have with Sophie. I prefer to have open love to open competition between us.

“The entire pack showed up, ready to take out Alpha Zahn,” he tells

her.

“What?” Sophie asks, looking up at me.
