The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 452

Chapter 452

“I’m looking at the laws around forcibly taking a daughter or mate from someone when the daughter or mate wants to leave and is being held against her will,” I say, watching her.

She narrows her eyes at me. “Is that about everyone, or about Tammi and Tiffany’s Alpha female?”

“Both, but specifically, I need to see if we can help them. Dutton has basically said that he’s going to get her out no matter what because that’s what the twins want, so if there’s anything that I can find in our laws to support him, then I’m going to do it.”

“You know that may not stop them from starting a war if they want her badly enough,” she says.

“I do. Just like I expect that we’ll be battling Alpha David at some point for you, I expect that we’ll be in a battle with her father or mate But if the law is on our side, then that means that if a war breaks out, we won’t be held accountable for decimating a pack,” I say,

“What if the laws are written for the ones who wanted them that way, meaning the male ranked members?” she asks.

“Wait until you start reading. What I’ve found so far is what seems to be a bunch of men who were bored with this process and never expected a woman to read these, so they didn’t take the time to write the laws specific enough that they are clear. Any grey area we find can

>be exploited, in my opinion. And, since we’re ‘reviewing‘ the laws, we

can clarify them. I’ll also tell you, that even though our group of Alphas have been raised for their positions and many of them have been in their positions for five to ten years, I already know many of these laws better than they do.”

“Are you serious?” she asks, shocked.

“I absolutely am. Thankfully, I’m mated to a man who appreciates an intelligent mate and is proud when I can spout off the laws that he and his friends don’t know.”

“Oh, I totally want to be able to do that.”

“And so you will,” I say to her, excitedly. I’m glad to finally have someone that I can talk to about this who doesn’t give me the pained look that Robin always gives me when I talk to him.

“Okay, Momma, I’m out of milk and this little Alpha is still a hungry boy,” Robin says walking in with Rory.

“Geez, I feel like I’m struggling to keep up with him,” I say, taking Rory and beginning to nurse him. If he eats too much, I won’t be able to pump for Robin later.

When I look up, Jacqueline is watching me thoughtfully.

“Do you have a suggestion?” I ask her.

She startles, looking at me, then Robin, before looking back at me. “Well, I’m not a doctor, but in the nursery, especially when the pups got to the point where Rory is getting, the doctors had us add some

> sort of baby meal to their bottles. It helped to fill them up and after

adjusting to the change in taste, they seemed to like it.”

I smile, looking up at Robin. “I’ll make an appointment with the doctor,” he says, kissing me before looking back at Jacqueline.

“Which laws are you reviewing?” Robin asks Jacqueline.

“Females becoming Alphas, apparently,” she says.

“Oh good, because Reese wants me to convince you to compete for the next pack,” he says. “And speaking of, I told him I want to test your skills. So, when do I get to do that?”

Jacqueline looks like a deer in headlights.

“Jacqueline, have you been holding out on me?” I ask her.

“No. It’s just, well, I know you’ve been waiting for Adira to get strong enough to shift, so I didn’t want to say anything until…..”

“Until I could kick your ass?” I ask her, making her laugh.

“Something like that.”

୮

“Not to worry. My mate’s pretty damn good and so is my Beta, so now I’m intrigued. You didn’t mention that you were this good.”

“Reese says she’s almost as good as he is,” Robin says, and I see the challenge in Jacqueline’s eyes.

“Is that what he said?” she asks.

“Well, that was before you kicked his ass this morning,” Robin says, making me bark out a laugh.

“I really have to see you fight now,” I say, just as Rory falls off my breast. “Ah, perfect timing.”

I hand him to Robin and get myself put together before standing. “Come on then, let’s go. Adira is getting stronger every day. She’ll be able to shift soon and then I want my turn,” I tell her.

“Such an Alpha,” she murmurs as we walk out.
