The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 65

Chapter 65

“Because it’s the right thing to do. Not everyone realizes that, but we do, our Alpha does and obviously, so does our Luna, since she’s the legend,” Kinsley says.

“I’m not a legend,” I say.

“Oh, but you are!” Allison says.

“Yeah, everyone knows you. I came across multiple girls on the run. I asked them all if they were Sophie, or they asked me. Honestly, I feel a little flustered because I’m finally getting to meet you. You’re like a celebrity…only, legend sounds better,” Letti says.

“All I did was survive on my own,” I say.

“No, what you did was give all of us hope. And for that, we can never repay you,” Allison says.

“Yeah, I’d have been mated off by now, if not for you,” Letti says.

“Well, you don’t owe me anything, except maybe to live your best life,” I say, embarrassed.

Kinsley smiles at me as Allison turns to her. “Is she for real?”

“She is. She doesn’t realize what an influence she’s had, that she’s still having.”

“Anywho, how about I go check on those rooms,” I say, skirting away before I become even more embarrassed.

Without consciously realizing it, I reach out to Hunter, feeling his steadying emotions which help calm me. I can tell he’s focused and concerned about Nikki, so I don’t bother him. Instead, I check to make sure we have two bedrooms beside each other that are ready for guests. Then I make sure they have everything they need to shower, and some clothes to wear to sleep in and for tomorrow. I’m sure Hunter has a plan for making sure these girls have clothes, but if not, Kinsley and I will manage.

I’ve just returned to the dining hall where I can see that Lucas has joined our new she–wolves. They still seem a bit cautious around Lucas, but at least they’re talking to him and even smiling a bit which is good.

When I step up, they’re just finishing eating. “I can show you to your rooms. They’re beside each other. I assumed you’d want to be close to each other.”

“Yes, Luna. Thank you. And thank Betas for helping us. It’s not what I expected, but I’m really glad you offered us this place to rest, even if we don’t stay for long,” Allison says.

“Why wouldn’t you stay?” I ask her.

She shrugs. “We’re from another pack. Won’t you eventually have to tell our families that we’re here?”

“No. Not unless you want us to,” I say confidently. Hunter and I haven‘ t discussed it, but what’s the point of offering sanctuary if we’re just

going to send them home or tell the ones their running from where to find them.

“Well, we’d like to at least do our part while we’re here,” Allison says.

“Why don’t you join us for warrior training in the morning? We have some of the warriors from Luna Sophie’s pack who are going to help train our pack members on some new techniques. You both are welcome to join in. I’m pretty sure Alpha Hunter is hoping that if we‘ re attacked, that you’d be willing to help fight to maintain the pack’s safety.”

I watch the two of them look at each other.

“But it’s not required. You don’t have to fight,” I tell them.

“No, of course you don’t have to,” Lucas says quickly.

“You’re really serious, aren’t you?” Letti asks.

“About what?”

“Keeping us safe. If you weren’t, you wouldn’t be expecting a battle.”

“Yes, we’re serious about it. We intend to keep you safe, even if it means going to war against some of the packs.”

They look at each other again, then back at Lucas.

“What time is warrior training?”

Lucas smiles at them. “Five in the morning.”

“We’ll be there,” Allison says, and Letti nods.

“I will too,” I say, before directing our new guests to their rooms.

When I finally get back to my room, Hunter is still gone. I shower and fall into bed, only waking when he slides in behind me, wrapping his warm body around mine.

“How is she?” I ask sleepily.

“In surgery. How are the other two?”

“Hopefully sleeping. They’re coming to warrior training in the morning.”

“Interesting,” he says. I want to ask why that’s interesting, but I’m too tired and I fall back to sleep before I can.

I’m not sure how much later it is when I feel Hunter getting up.

“Is it time for training?” I ask.

“No. Nikki is out of surgery. I’m going to go sit with her. I told her I’d be there when she woke and I want to keep my word. I’ll hopefully be back for warrior training,” he says, kissing me softly before I hear his feet padding away and the door closing quietly.
