The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 308

Chapter 308

There was something about spending the day with the other Alphas, away from our mates that had all of us missing them. I missed Sophie, missed her smell, her laugh, her loving gaze when she looks at me, and I missed playing with my son. I’ll admit, it really is my new favorite pastime, only knocked out of first place by making love to my mate. That will always be my number one favorite thing to do in this world.

So yeah, after being away from her all day, I scooped her up and took her to a secluded area where I could enjoy her, reconnect with her after being away from her all day, and yeah, I buried myself deep inside her, finding my happy place and capturing her screams of pleasure with my kiss.

I know I wasn’t the only one. By the time we returned to the packhouse, nearly all of Sophie’s friends had messy hair, some with grass or twigs still sticking out of them. The notable exception was Margot and Ezra, but I noticed that he took advantage of the time we were away to spend with his mate.

Most of the single warriors and ranked members who came to see the pack lands pitched tents and the group set up a couple of fire pits outside where people congregated overnight, talking about the pack, their possible future, and asking questions about the other available packs.

things that we to make decisions about. Calvin was around, but he didn’t really engage with us. I’m not sure how to feel about that. He’s an Alpha, but he was excluded from this process. It wasn’t until much later. after Sophie and the other pregnant mates found space in the packhouse to sleep and had gone to bed that he finally approached us.

“So, is this the plan for Alaric’s pack as well?”

“Besides the part of having to mark the boundaries, yes,” Dutton says to him.

He nods, looking around. “Will you be opening it to all the packs?”

“Not all of them,” I say. “Aiden and Zahn’s packs are not part of our alliance; therefore, they won’t be participating.”

“What about my pack?” he asks, turning to look at us.

I look at the others, not wanting to speak for everyone.

“I guess that depends on where you stand, Alpha Calvin. You haven’t been against us, but you haven’t actually been with us either,” Robin

says.

“For that pack, in particular, I’d like to be included. Let me know what you need from me to be a part of that.”

“Are you planning to join packs with your mate, Alpha Calvin?” Kayce

asks him.

“Amelia and I are discussing how things will work in the future,” is all he says, before turning and walking away.

“Discussing?” Margot asks.

“Arguing.” Ezra clarifies. “Which reminds me, Margot and I never filled you in on her father and Joshua’s previous packs.”

I notice he doesn’t call Joshua Margot’s previous mate

“How did that go?” Dutton asks.

“There was some disagreement about opening up the packs. Not as much after the packs saw my mother and I, but they had already created their own, new hierarchy and the ‘Alphas‘ didn’t want the contest. Ezra shut that down quickly,” she says, smiling at him.

I raise an eyebrow at him. “How did you do that?”

Margot smile widens before she dips her head to hide it. Ezra looks at her, his lips twitching at their shared joke. “Did you want to tell them, since you got such enjoyment out of it?” he asks.

She looks up at him, smiling more openly than I remember seeing her smile in my pack. Then she turns to us. “Joshua’s Gamma was prick, always has been. He’s always thought more highly of himself than he should have. He may have also made the mistake of telling me that I should know my place and that it was beneath him since he’s the new Alpha.”

Several of us whistle low at that. Erza may not be wearing Margot’s mark, but they’ve both identified that they are mates. There’s no way that Ezra would have tolerated anyone disrespecting Margot, much less like that.

“Ezra showed Franklin what it means to actually be an Alpha by lifting him off his feet by his throat. Then he proceeded to scare him so badly that he literally pissed himself in front of the pack,” she says, smiling at Ezra.

She’s looking at him differently now. Whether it’s because of that event or because he’s working his way into her heart, her gaze and her smile are much warmer now, much more open.
