The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 312

“I’m not keeping your mate from you. I’m honoring her wishes to stay away from you. Perhaps you should consider doing the same. Perhaps, instead of trying to run roughshod over Jocelyn, you let her have the control she’s so desperately seeking.”

“So she can leave me?”

“She’s already rejected you. Forcing her into close proximity or worse, into an intimate relationship that she doesn’t want, won’t endear her to you. Take my advice, Alpha. Stop trying to force her. Giving her space may not change her mind about you, but continuing to try and force yourself on her, is definitely not going to change her mind about you.”

“It’s so easy for you, isn’t it?” he growls. His jealousy, his desire to have what I have with my mate, is palpable.

“Yes, it is easy,” I say, leaning over and getting in his face. “It was easy for me to decide to do what was right for my mate even though it was against our laws. It was easy for me to stand in front of the Committee of Alphas and refuse to mark her publicly even though I knew I might have to fight my way out of the courtroom. It was easy for me to go to war and kill those who wanted to take what was mine or try to force my mate and I into a situation that would have made my mate bond no better than yours. I would do it all again, fight every single Alpha if necessary to have what I have with my mate. So yeah, it is easy, because I’ve already fought for her and for us. And therein lies the difference between you and I, Alpha Zahn. You’re still fighting for

yourself have always fought for Sophie.”

I lean back, watching him struggle to remain calm. He has to know I mean what I’m saying He was there at the Committee of Alphas. He voted against me. His ways don’t work, but he’s either too stupid or too stubborn to figure that out.

“Jocelyn hasn’t agreed to see you. Until she does, stay away from her or my pack members will continue to beat you black and blue. If you don’t like it, you’re always welcome to leave. But Jocelyn won’t be leaving until she decides that she’s ready to go.” I tell him.

He stands, his hands in fists. Both warriors step forward, ready to jump in if needed.

“You’re a pompous, arrogant son of a bitch,” he snarls.

“Takes one to know one, Alpha Zahn,” I say, staying calm. I’m ready if he attacks me, but I continue to look unconcerned as I stare him down.

“I’m not leaving without my mate,” he snarls.

“Suit yourself, Alpha. I hope you brought a lot of work with you. It doesn’t appear that your mate will be leaving any time soon.”

I watch him think about hitting me and intelligently deciding not to do it. Maybe he’s not as stupid as I think he is.

me examine her.

“Yes, doctor Is she healthy?” she asks, concerned.

“Her heartbeat is strong and besides being larger than I would expect, it looks like everything is good. Are you sure about the timeframe for her conception?” I ask her.

“Yes. My mate and I…well, we needed time to get to know each other. After getting marked…I wasn’t…”

“I understand. I’m planning to go to Alpha Dutton’s pack tomorrow, but since he’s so close, I should be able to return tomorrow night. Other than maybe needing to go back to check on Jocelyn, I’m planning to remain here until you deliver, Alpha. Based on what I’m seeing, you may deliver earlier than you’re expecting. If not, we may need to consider a c–section,” I tell her.

“Why is that?” she asks.

“Your pup is pretty big, Alpha. We don’t want to put you at risk by trying to force you to deliver a pup who can’t fit in the birthing canął. That’s one of the ways that women die in childbirth.”

“What about recovery time? If I have the c–section, how long will it take for me to recover?”

“That depends on your wolf, Alpha. How strong is she?” I ask her.
