The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68

Alpha Hunter stops, turning to look at us. “They will be my guests, but you three are under my protection. I promise you that no harm will come to you, and I forbid public claimings in my pack,” he says.

“That doesn’t mean that they won’t drag us off your pack lands and then claim us,” Letti says.

you,

“Over my dead body, over my mate’s dead body as well, I assure and they would have to get past my entire pack in order to do that. These Alphas are friends, and they will abide by my rules or I will have them removed from my pack lands, without you. If they choose to wage war after that, then so be it. I am prepared for war, as is my pack. You are welcome to remain hidden while they are here. However, I think it would be good for them to hear from you why you’ve run, why you’ve chosen a life alone in the wild rather than be publicly claimed,” Hunter says.

“They must already know,” Letti says.

“They don’t. I’m sure of it. My Beta didn’t understand. Alpha Dutton, another friend that I’ve already met with didn’t understand either. Our wolves don’t see the problem with it, and as an Alpha, I can tell that my wolf, Shaw, wants nothing more than for me to claim his mate

for all the world do see so everyone knows that she’s ours. It is the human side of us that disagrees with these practices, practices that do not impact us as males the same way that they impact you as females.”

It’s absurd to me to think that they don’t understand why we don’t want to be claimed publicly. It’s true, Mizette wouldn’t care about being claimed publicly, but she also cares about me and knows that I’d be mortified if I were to be claimed in such a way, so she refuses to allow it willingly, even by our mate.

We walk into the hospital and follow Alpha Hunter to a door.

“This is Nikki’s room,” Alpha Hunter says, turning to us once again. “I give you my word as an Alpha that I will keep you safe. But the choice about whether or not you will spend time with these Alphas is up to you.”

“If you promise to keep me safe, I’ll do it. If these Alphas and other

ranked pack members really don’t understand how it affects us, they need to know.”

I look at Letti. “You’ll have to decide for yourself, but the more of us who confirm the way we feel, the harder it will be for them to deny it. These ranked members need to realize that we aren’t being irrational or acting foolishly. There is a reason why we feel this way and it’s a valid reason, one they need to think about and consider if they were to find their mate, especially if they want to have the kind of relationship that Alpha Hunter and Luna Sophie have.”

“You swear to keep us safe?” Letti asks Alpha Hunter.

“My word as an Alpha,” he says. When we nod, he opens the door and I see Nikki sitting up. Her eyes are intent on mine and as I begin to smile, she speaks.

“Why is Alpha Hunter giving his word as an Alpha again?”

“I’ll leave you three to talk. Nikki, do you need anything?”

“No, thank you, Alpha.”

After Hunter leaves, we rush to the bed, hugging Nikki tightly.

“What’s going on?” she asks.

Letti and I proceed to tell her everything, the differences that we’ve seen between Luna Sophie and every other ranked, claimed female we‘ ve ever met. Then we let her know about the visiting Alphas.

She looks down at her leg. “I don’t know that I’ll be healed in time, but I don’t want you meeting with them alone,” she says.

“Alpha Hunter gave his word that we’d be safe. You heard him, Nikki.”

“Do you trust the word of an Alpha now, Letti?” she asks.

“Not all of them,” Letti says, smiling ruefully. “But I trust the word of three Alphas,” she says, making Nikki smile.

“I’d better be one of the three,” she says.

“Absolutely!”

Hunter

As I was sparring with my mate yesterday, I realized that she was getting into her own head. She knows how to spar, but whether she just needs to get back into it or she needs to realize she won’t hurt me, I’m not sure, but by the end, I was starting to see her training coming
