The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 59

Chapter 59

“Worst possible scenario,” I grumble. “If we do get attacked, that will be who leads it.”

“Agreed. I also heard that Owen has taken a fancy to one of the younger she–wolves who left our pack.”

I frown. “Who?”

“Brooklyn. Leah and Michael’s daughter.”

”

“The laws haven’t changed. He can’t publicly claim an omega,” I say.

Lucas stares at me. I glance at Sophie. Right. I went against our laws, so what’s to keep Owen from going against them as well.

“If they come back, interview them, make sure you feel comfortable letting them back into the pack. At the very least, we’ll give Brooklyn a safe place to live,” I say.

“Leah didn’t want to leave either. It was Michael who chose to leave,” Kinsley says.

I nod. If Owen sets the precedent and the others follow in his footsteps, things could escalate even quicker than they will with just Sophie being involved.

“We need to start letting the she–wolves know that we have a safe place for them here,” I say.

“We started that yesterday, Alpha,” Kinsley says, smiling.

“And that’s why you two are my Betas,” I say, watching as Sophie pushes her plate away. It’s only half empty.

“Sophie?”

“I can’t eat anymore. I thought I could, but I can’t. If I do, I won’t be able to move,” she says.

I want her to eat more, she’s barely eating enough to support a human, much less a werewolf.

“Your stomach probably shrank while you were gone and if you weren‘ t training, you wouldn’t have been burning the calories that you normally would in a pack. I’m sure once you start training again, your appetite will increase,” Kinsley says, looking from Sophie to me and back again. I hide my smile. Whether she realizes it or not, Kinsley is protecting her Luna.

“Very true, Kinsley. Let’s hope after tomorrow’s sparring that your hunger begins to increase. If that doesn’t work, we’ll have to find other activities to burn calories,” I say, winking at Sophie and making her blush again.

After breakfast, I head to my office, leaving Sophie with Kinsley to begin walking through what she does with the pack. Before I call Kayce and Robin, I check my email. One in particular catches my eye and I open it.

‘You are hereby ordered to appear in front of the Committee of Alphas one week from today at 9am. Your mate, Sophie Meyers, is required to

your

attend as well to address the issue of you attempting to install mate as your Luna without going through the proper protocols. If you fail to appear before the Committee, you will be renounced as an Alpha and your title and pack will be removed from you, with force, if necessary.‘

One week. I have one week to get the remaining three Alphas on board. I pick up the phone and dial Kayce’s number.

Sophie

“I’m so glad you’re here, Sophie. If I’m being honest, I’m excited that our Alpha was deserving of the legend,” Kinsley says to me.

“I don’t know anything about being a legend. I’m just Sophie,” I say to

her.

She stops and looks at me. “But you do. You stood up for me

yesterday. I watch how you openly love your mate. I can feel how much you care for and want to do right for our pack. And most importantly, I can feel your desire to fight for what is right in this world. That makes you worthy of being a legend. I believe that you and Alpha Hunter will make the changes that our world desperately needs.”

“No pressure,” I say, only half joking.

“Are you willing to let your daughter go through what happened to me? To your sister?” she asks, and I feel nausea and anger rising inside

1. me.

“Never,” I growl, making her smile.

“See. The legend. Unlike others who try to escape, you are doing something about it. It started by running and now, you’re taking a stand. Those are the behaviors of a legend.”

I shake my head at her. “We’ll see, I guess.”

“In truth, seeing you with Alpha Hunter made me see what it’s supposed to be like, or at least what it could be like with Lucas. He’s a

good man. He followed the law, but the law is wrong. I’m glad you’re here, and proud to call you my Luna,” she says.

“Thanks, Kinsley. Now, I know something of running a packhouse, but it’s been a long time.”

It’s nearly lunch time when I see Hunter again. He comes looking for me, finding Kinsley and I in the kitchen making sure lunch is ready for the pack. He walks up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist.

“What’s for lunch?”
