The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61

‘I would be happy to confirm everything you say. They may or may not know my wolf form, but I can push forward, and their wolves will feel that I’m an Alpha wolf.‘

I write the note, saying what Hunter suggested but then also stating that Hedda would confirm the pack’s intentions if they come to the border and ask to see me. I sign it, ‘Our word as Alphas, Sophie (Meyers) Reynolds and Hedda‘.

Hunter looks over reading what I wrote. “That’s perfect,” Shaw says, coming forward and purring at his mate. “No one can deny your word as an Alpha.”

“We should go for a run again soon, my mate,” Hedda says.

“Very soon. Perhaps tonight,” Shaw says.

“Actually, I like that idea. Let’s plan on it,” Hunter says, pulling Shaw back. “We could use the time to get you acquainted with our borders and you and I could do a run and assist the patrols.”

“I’d like that. It’s important that I know where our pack borders end, especially if those she–wolves come asking for me,” I say, pushing the note back over to Kinsley.

“Wish me luck. Maybe someone is there waiting for me,” she smiles, then heads out to go deliver the food to the mountain.

Chapter 61

While she’s gone, I meet with the kitchen omegas and begin talking through dinner options for our visiting Alphas this weekend. I plan for two nights, just in case they decide to stay. Then I begin planning to put twinkling lights up all along the edge of the forest and in the area where we’ll put the food and drinks for the pack, adding some torches to keep the bugs away and give brighter light in some areas.

When Kinsley returns, disappointed that no one was there waiting for her, I tell her everything that I planned while she was gone, getting her ideas for some additional food items that make it easier for the pack and our visiting Alphas to mingle if they choose.

Hunter gets his return call from Alpha Ezra just as I’m ready to sit down for dinner. So, rather than wait for my mate, I decide to sit with some of my new pack members and begin getting to know them better.

I’ve just finished eating, seeing Hunter enter the dining room with a look on his face that he wants to talk to me when I get a mind link from the patrols.

‘Alpha, Luna, we have three she–wolves at the border asking if Sophie Meyers is here in our pack.‘

I look at Hunter. ‘Tell them I’m on my way, I say, racing outside, quickly stripping down and shifting, having Hedda grab my clothes before running to where the patrols are waiting for me. Hunter is right behind me and while I know that Shaw could catch up, or even pass us, he stays behind me,

me, letting Hedda and I take the lead.

When we arrive, I shift. A moment later, Hunter does too and before I can pull my clothes on, his large shirt is pulled over my head.

“Seriously, Hunter?” I ask before turning back to the women. They are standing back from the borders, far enough to give themselves a head start if someone came chasing after them. They’re all watching the interaction between me and Hunter with various expressions of surprise on their faces.

As I get closer, I can smell blood.

“Which one of you is injured?” I ask, concerned.

“Are you Sophie Meyers?” one of the girls asks. I lift my nose and smell that she’s a Beta.

“I was until a few days ago. I’m mated to Alpha Hunter now,” I say, pointing to where he’s standing behind me. “My name is Sophie Reynolds.”

“Is this true?” she asks, holding up the paper that I wrote earlier today.

“If you’re asking if our pack is providing sanctuary to she–wolves on the run,

then the answer is yes. I give you my word as an Alpha.”

“An Alpha’s word is worthless,” one of the other girls growls.

Her words offend Hedda who pushes forward. She stomps past the patrols, standing in front of them.

“MY word as an Alpha will always be good,” she snarls, and I watch as all their necks go up in deference to my Alpha wolf.

“Shut up, Letti. You’re pissing her off,” the third girl says.

I pull Hedda back enough to take over but leave her forward enough so

they can feel her presence and see her in my eyes.

“Are you here for refuge?” I ask them.

Rather than answering my question, the Beta asks me another question. I’m getting the feeling that she’s the leader of their little

group.

“You said your Alpha claimed you in private. Is that true?”
