The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 306

Chapter 306

The rest of the day, the Alphas give a tour of the packhouse and the pack lands, marking off the territory as they go. The group of contenders is quite large, over 200. I’m surprised, but pleased to see that there are several omegas and even more females in attendance getting the information about participating in the competition.

Since we’re here and don’t have a lot to do, my friends and I begin straightening up the packhouse. The pack members were responsible for bringing their own food, so we don’t have to cook, but we do go through the pantry, cleaning out old food and setting it aside to dispose of later.

It’s nearly dark when the group returns, and Hunter finds me. “Did you eat today?” he asks, looking around the space as he pulls me to him. “Wow, I can’t believe how much you did while we were gone.”

“It looks great in here,” Kayce says appreciatively.

“Wow…” Robin says, pulling Nikki to him.

“Don’t get any ideas,” she says, smiling up at him.

“Oh, I have a lot of ideas,” he says, scooping her up and carrying her

out of the room.

“As do I,” Lucas growls, scooping Kinsley up and walking her out as

well.

“Did you happen to straighten up any of the rooms, Soph?” Hunter asks in my car.

“We didn’t get that far,” I say

“Damn, we’ll have to find a secluded area then,” he says, scooping me

1. up.

“Hunter!”

Instead of answering, his mouth latches onto mine as he walks.

‘I’ve been missing you all day, Sophie,’ he says in my mind, and I get the feeling that all of our mates have been talking about us and missing us all day.

I can’t believe I met my mate. I can’t believe he’s a Beta who is here to win a pack. And I’m happy, so very happy, that he isn’t one of those ranked members who insists on claiming their mate publicly.

I don’t know Alpha Ezra, I’d never met him before seeing him in Alpha Hunter’s pack, but I’ve been in Alpha Kayce’s pack for a while now. He and Allison have been great leaders. So, I knew he would protect me and not allow anyone to claim me publicly or against my will. Thankfully, Jake isn’t like that at all.

I look over at him again, smiling when I see he’s looking at me too. He turns his head away and chuckles.

“Are you having as hard a time as I am focusing on this pack stuff?” he

asks me.

“Yes Buttwas serious about wanting to compete for this pack.”

“What do you want to do here?” he asks. We’re walking around the pack lands, getting a feel for them and the size of the pack overall while the existing Alphas mark the pack borders with little wooden stakes with red flags on them.

“I want to start a pack like my friends have created. A place where people can live and be free, be heard, and be safe.”

“Your friends? You mean that group of Lunas?” he asks, looking back in the direction we came.

“Well, only Sophie was a Luna when I met them. Nikki, Allison, and I were on the run together. Allison and I met up first and then we met Nikki when Alpha Aiden tried to claim Allison. Nikki jumped in and was injured helping us to get away.”

He growls a low, dangerous growl/“He’s lucky he didn’t claim you. I’d kill him.”

“You wouldn’t have known that I was your mate though, would you? I mean, unless I had rejected him, which would have. But there are ways that she–wolves can be forced to accept their mates know in my old pack, women were impregnated and then their pups were used to force them to accept the mate bond again.”

“Impregnated? You mean raped?”

“That’s not what our ranked members called it,” I say, remembering my father who had used similar tactics against my mother in the beginning. It’s why she helped me escape from my pack.

“Who the fuck are these assholes?” he asks, angrily.

“Entitled leaders who think they can do what they want, and, in the past, the laws supported them,” I say. “Anyway, Nikki was injured and we’d heard about a place where they were leaving food for she–wolves on the run. Most of us, when we were on the run, looked out for each other as best we could,” I say shrugging. “We didn’t run in large packs, me, Nikki, and Allison being the largest group I ever saw, but that didn’t mean we didn’t talk and didn’t help out when and where we could. And, of course, everyone knew about Sophie.”
