The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 337

Chapter 337

Matthew calls an end to warrior training; and I follow my warriors back to the patio where Sophie and Hunter are sitting with Athena. Beside them is a woman I don’t recognize, but I can see that her upper body isn’t shaped properly. This must be Jocelyn.

“Hello, I’m Alpha Amelia. You must be Jocelyn. Welcome to my pack,” I greet her.

“Alpha Amelia. It’s a pleasure. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the first ever female Alpha, but I have to admit, you’re quite impressive,” Jocelyn says.

“Thank you,” I say.

“You’ve should have seen her when we first walked out. She was nursing Athena while she was directing her warriors,” Sophie says, looking at Hunter who begins purring at her. Is that what got her riled up? Me nursing Athena publicly? She’ll have to get over it while she’s here. I have a pack to run.

“Well, I’m no Legend, like my sister,” I say, teasing her.

“No, I call you the Warrior Alpha,” Sophie says smiling up at me. Hunter kisses the side of her head as if he’s praising her. Maybe it was jealousy before. I know from recent experience that every woman around you feels like a threat to your mate. I thought it was just me because things between me and Calvin aren’t very settled at the

returns.

“Warrior Alpha. I can see it,” Jocelyn says to me.

“Well, I am a warrior, or I will be once I get back into shape, and I am an Alpha, so I guess it fits.”

Jocelyn tilts her head at me. “You’re as humble as Sophie, aren’t you? Must be a family trait to have strong women who don’t realize the significant impact that they are having on others around them.”

“What impact is that?” I ask her, as I go check on my daughter. She’s sleeping happily in Sophie’s arms.

When she doesn’t answer immediately, I turn and see Jocelyn smiling at me. “Blazing the trail for the rest of us to follow. You’re the first female Alpha in history. You don’t see the significance in that?” she asks, challenging me.

“Honestly? I don’t time have time to think about it. Between my parents‘ deaths, taking over the pack, waging war and getting revenge for my parents‘ deaths, having a baby, and getting ready for the pack competitions, I haven’t had a lot of time. But now that your mention it… I guess it is significant.”

“Amelia has already paved the way for other women to take ranked positions in the packs,” Hunter says, making me snort a laugh.

“Oh please, you’d have made Penny your Gamma with or without me being an Alpha.”

>>“Yes, but you did it first,” Hunter says smiling at me. “As Nikki would

say, that makes you the trendsetter.”

“I don’t think I can hold her and stand up, Hunter,” Sophie says.

“You must be close to your delivery, Soapy,” I say. I’m pretty sure that her stomach is larger than mine was. Probably because she’s having a boy.

I move to take Athena from her, but Hunter beats me to it. He carefully snuggles my daughter against his chest, then reaches out to help Sophie up. I can hear Shaw purring softly, keeping Athena settled Even Hamil, Calvin’s wolf, hadn’t thought to purr at his daughter.

I’m once again struck by the differences between Hunter and Calvin. Calvin couldn’t have looked more uncomfortable holding his own daughter, whereas Hunter looks like he’s been holding babies for years. Who knows, maybe he has. He’s a different kind of Alpha than Calvin is.

“Are you settled in, Jocelyn? Soapy knows her way around the packhouse, but if you need anything at all, you can ask me, or this is my Beta, Matthew,” I say as he walks up to greet the group.

“Why do you call her Soapy?” she asks while Matthew tells Sophie she can’t hog Athena while she’s here. I smile, looking at my sister while she tells Matthew that his mate is here all the time and she’s only here for a couple of days, so she gets as much time as she wants with my daughter.
