The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 313

She looks thoughtful for a moment. “I’m in a precarious position, doctor. I’m the first female Alpha to take on a pack, I did it without my mate being here, and I’m pregnant. There is some unrest in my pack about a woman being an Alpha. I want to be able to shut that down quickly if something were to happen, and while I don’t believe that anyone would do something to me while I was pregnant, the pack would never tolerate that, the time immediately after my delivery will be my weakest and most vulnerable time.”

“If you’re truly concerned about that, Alpha, we can induce labor when your daughter gets to the point where I think she’s getting too big to deliver naturally.”

“I think that would be a good option, doctor,” she says.

“Do you want to discuss this with your mate before making a final decision?”

“No. Calvin has made his choices, and I am making mine. Is that going to be a problem for you doctor?” she asks me, with no malice. It’s more like she’s trying to figure out who she can trust and who is willing to help her.

“No, Alpha. The choice to include or not include your mate in these decisions, is yours.”

“Thank you, Dr. Caspian,” she says as Brooklyn comes in with the

“Here you go, Alpha. Have you decided on a name yet?” Brooklyn asks her.

“Athena,” she says, smiling at the picture of her daughter. When she looks up, her eyes meet mine before turning to Brooklyn.

“And what about you? What are you planning to name your little one?” she asks.

“How did you…” Brooklyn asks, looking at me, then back at Alpha Amelia.

“I’m an Alpha, but my senses are also a bit heightened now that I’m pregnant. Saige and I can smell the pup on you,” she says.

I pull my mate against me, loving this woman so much. “We just found out a few hours ago. I’m not even sure it’s completely sunk in yet,” I say, smiling at Brooklyn.

My sweet mate’s eyes fill with tears as she turns to Alpha Amelia. “I can’t stop touching my stomach. I just want to feel my little one so desperately. I know it’s too soon, but I’m just so excited to be having Cas‘ pup!” she says, smiling up at me.

“Not half as excited as I am that you’re having my pup,” I say, feeling like my heart will burst with my love for this woman.

“Congratulations to both of you,” Alpha Amelia says, but there’s a

sadness in her tone.

Thank you, Alpha. We’ll leave you to get dressed,” I say, leading Brooklyn from the room.

I’m thankful that my life isn’t as complicated as Alpha Amelia’s. I wouldn’t want to have to make a choice between my job and my mate. My decision would always be Brooklyn, but I know that I’d miss my work every day and those types of feelings cause resentment to fester. I have a feeling Alpha Amelia understands that very well.

When I walk to the Survivor’s Center, there’s more chatter than normal. I even hear soft laughter and pups talking excitedly. I follow the sounds of voices and walk out to the garden where nearly everyone is working in the dirt, planting seeds or plants.

“Luna! Come see what we’re doing!” one of the pups shouts when they see me. Immediately, all of the pups come rushing over, taking my hands in their dirty ones and leading me to the garden.

“Careful with our Luna. She’s pregnant!” one of the mothers says, sternly.

“Sorry, Luna!”

“Yeah, sorry, Luna.”

I nod at the mothers, and smile at Jocelyn. “How are you doing?” I ask.

“I’m doing well, Sophie. After the pups show you around, we can talk,” she says. The lines of stress, anger, and pain on her face have softened in just the day that I’ve been away. I’m anxious to hear how

But I focus on the pups, knowing they need to feel my love just as much as the pack does. Since most of them aren’t old enough to have their wolves yet, I make a point of hugging them, telling them what a great job they’re doing, and ohhhing and ahhhing over what they’ve planted. It’s a good hour before I have a chance to really sit and talk to Jocelyn.

“Here, Luna, take my seat,” Sandy says to me.

“I’d

it’s not necessary, but unfortunately, if I sit on the ground, you‘ re all going to have to help me back up again.” I say, rubbing my

stomach.

“How is our Alpha heir doing?” one of the women asks over her shoulder while she continues to work in the garden.
