The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 35

“Thank you, Kinsley. Did you want to get a sneak peek at your Luna?” he asks, opening the door.

I turn and see that her dress is a darker gold version of mine. She’s wearing dangly gold and diamond earrings that come almost to her shoulders and accent the dress perfectly.

“Oh Luna, you look beautiful!” she says.

“We’re like a matching set,” I say to her.

“Except you’re missing these. I had Kinsley pick them up for you, but I’ll make sure you have some of your choosing soon, my love,” Hunter says, handing me the bag that Kinsley had given to him.

I pull out the box and inside I find a pair of earrings that match Kinsley’s.

“Lucas said I should thank you for my earrings as well, Alpha,” she says.

“No, you should definitely thank Lucas. I didn’t order them,” he says, glancing at her before turning his heated gaze back to me. I quickly put the earrings in and look in the mirror.

“They’re perfect. Thank you, Kinsley. Thank you, Hunter.”

Hunter turns to Kinsley. “We’ll see you downstairs in a few moments. I just need to finish getting ready.”

“See you down there,” she says, before quickly rushing over and hugging me. “Most of the pack stayed,” she whispers in my ear before rushing out the door.

I’m hoping we’ll have some coming to our borders in the next couple of days. Once they start, I imagine it will be a domino effect and they’ll all start coming.

“Let’s hope so,” I say, watching him put on a gold vest that matches my dress. “I’m feeling a theme here,” I say walking up to him and buttoning

his vest.

“I wanted to present a unified front. Always, but most especially, today.”

When he’s done, he offers me his arm. “Are you ready to officially take your place at my side and as the Luna of this pack?”

“I’m ready,” I say.

He walks me down the stairs and out of the packhouse into the back where a stage has been set up with lighting on one side and food and a dance floor on the other.

thought you might like to dance with your mate tonight,” he says softly for only me to hear as we walk to the stage.

I’m surprised at the large number of pack members that are here and I know that it says a lot about the kind of Alpha that Hunter is that they’ve stayed. It only reinforces what I already know. That he’s the perfect man and mate for me.

I walk with Hunter onto the stage, where Lucas and Kinsley are already waiting for us.

Hunter walks me to the table at the front of the stage, Kinsley on my Lucas on Hunter’s right, flanking us, all of us in our gold colors.
