The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 336

Chapter 336

The first person I’d wanted to share my happiness with had been my mother, and that’s where the terrible sadness had come from. I realized that my daughter will never know what incredible grandparents she had. I can easily picture my father carrying her around everywhere, just like he did with Sophie and probably like he did with me. The sharp sting of grief had hit me quickly and unexpectedly and I’d started to cry.

Calvin is a good man in a lot of ways, but understanding female emotions isn’t one of them. They make him uncomfortable and so, rather than wrapping his arms around me and hugging me like someone such as Alpha Hunter probably would have, he’d patted my arm and told me it would be okay and that it was probably all the hormones leaving my body. It had taken everything in me to not punch him in the face.

I wasn’t surprised when he’d left the next day to go back to his pack. We’d talked about him wanting to claim the pack next door. I guess he wants to try and move the pack or maybe try to flip packs with someone else so that we can combine our packs. The problem is, I’m learning very quickly that I like being an Alpha and I’m damn good at it. I wouldn’t say this to Calvin, because I’m not mean and I know it would hurt his feelings, but I’m a better Alpha than he is. So, even if he claims Alaric’s old pack, I’m not combining mine with his.

My new favorite time of day is early in the morning, before everyone else is awake, when I sit in my rocking chair and nurse Athena. It

doesn’t matter how tired I am, or how many things I have coming for the day, that time is ours, just her and me. I know she’s a baby, but she’s an Alpha baby, and when she looks at me, it’s like she knows that I’m her mother, and that I–will never let anything happen to her.

When Calvin left, I think the pack thought that things were going to relax a bit. They were wrong. Alaric’s pack is up for grabs, and I have several warriors who want to claim it, my Gamma included. I’m not thrilled about him competing, but I also know he didn’t do as well as he thought he would in the competition for the first pack. He didn’t even make it to the final twelve. I know he’s going to cause problems for me in the future, but those are problems for another day. First, I needed to deliver Athena and get my strength back, and now, I need to get my warriors prepared for the competition.

I didn’t think Sophie would mind me not greeting her at the front door, and thankfully, I was right. Unfortunately, since I’m an Alpha and a young mother, I have to balance nursing my daughter with everything else that I need to get done. It didn’t take me more than half a day to realize that nursing Athena would have to be done while I was doing other things or things wouldn’t get done and my status as an Alpha would come into question, especially with Caleb looking for any reason to overthrow me. I wasn’t sure how I felt about him and Calvin going to the competition together. Is Calvin secretly hoping to overthrow me so I have to return to being his Luna? I’m still not sure about that, so I’m biding my time and I’m watching Caleb carefully.

And that means, I nurse my daughter during warrior training. Because she’s on a schedule, it’s become a routine every morning that I carry her around while Beta Matthew runs training. Beta Caroline will usually hold Athena until she’s ready to nurse and then take her again
