The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 316

Chapter 316

“Trust me, his guards are on alert. Hell, the entire pack is on alert. I know you’ve seen the extra patrols running near the Survivor’s Center. I didn’t tell them to do that, did you?”

“No. They’re just being protective.”

“Exactly. Worst case scenario, Alpha, is that you return and realize you’ll have to go to war again because we killed him.”

“Has anyone heard him on the phones? Do we know who he’s talking to or what he’s talking about?” I ask. Something feels off with Zahn. I feel like something’s about to happen, and it feels like he’ll take advantage of me being gone to do it.

“No. He’s been very quiet about it but the warriors also haven’t made an effort to listen in,” Lucas says.

‘Jaime, Penny, can you come to my office please,‘ I mind link Gammas.

“I have a gut feeling that something is going to happen, Lucas. He’s too agitated, too…angry at the changes that are happening and not being able to see Jocelyn.”

A moment later my Gammas knock on the door and come in.

“I’m worried about leaving. I feel like Alpha Zahn is working up to doing something, but I don’t know what that could be. Have either of

you heard anything about his conversations with his pack members?”

They look at each other, then turn back to me.

“What are you thinking, Alpha?” Lucas asks me.

“One of two things. He either wants to get Jocelyn out of here by force, or he wants to hurt me and Sophie for putting him in this situation, even though he was warned.”

“I think he’d go for Jocelyn first,” Jaime says.

“Why?” I ask.

“Because killing you and our Luna will only make the pack more angry, more willing to fight and more willing to protect Jocelyn. He’d never get her if he attacked the two of your first,” Lucas says, catching on to the thought.

“So, it’s Jocelyn he’s going to make a play for,” I murmur, before looking up. “Penny, run a drill this morning, before Sophie and I leave. I want everyone ready for an attack while we’re gone. Lucas, double the patrols and triple them around the Survivor Center. Jaime, see what you and the warriors can find out about what and who Zahn is talking to on the phone.”

“Yes, Alpha.”

Maybe going to the pack competition is a bad idea.

“He’ll only bide his time if you don’t go now, Hunter,” Lucas says to me, reading my mind. “Next time, it could be both of us going, leaving

Penny and Jaime here without either of us. Give him the opportunity he’s looking for. Hell, lie to him about how long you’ll be gone. Tell him you’ll be gone longer than you intend to be gone, so he feels safer attacking now.

“You realize it goes against everything in me to leave knowing there’s a potential attack on this pack?” I ask them.

“You leaving is the best chance he has to attack. Better to plan for an attack we know is coming than to risk being attacked when we’re not ready.”

“If his pack does attack, try to keep him alive and throw him in the cells. Kill anyone else that dares to attack us.”

“Yes, Alpha.”

I nod at Penny, and she heads out to prepare to alert the pack of an attack drill. It’s breakfast time, so it will be interesting to see how everyone does. Maybe, hopefully, seeing how ready our pack is will dissuade Zahn from attacking.

I know Zahn is up to something, I just don’t know what it is, but an attack to get Jocelyn out of my pack lands sounds right.

“We’ll keep the pack safe, Alpha,” Lucas says, just as Penny’s alert goes up in the mind link.
