The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70

I begin attacking harder, moving faster to get to her, but she’s blocking me, getting in her own strikes to push me back or get out of the hold I put her in, even some of the holds she wasn’t getting out of yesterday.

“Come on, Sophie. I’m an Alpha. You can’t hurt me. Give me everything you’ve got. I need to know you can defend yourself against an opponent, especially another Alpha. If you’re going to hit me, hit me like you mean it,” I tell her, going at her hard again.

This time, she blocks, and her punch is hard enough that I can feel it.

“There you go, come on, Sophie. You’re an Alpha wolf, you can punch harder, you can move faster,” I encourage her.

She blocks me again, and again her punch is decent, but it’s not as strong as I know she is.

“Come on, Sophie. Imagine I’m Alpha Owen. I’m hunting you down, tackling you to the ground, ready to claim you. Is that how hard you’re going to hit me? Because I’m just going to keep coming for you until I sink my canines into your neck and claim you as mine,” I say, trying to get her to stop pulling her punches.

This time, she doesn’t, and holy shit can my girl throw a punch. I shouldn’t be able to breathe, but Shaw heals me.

‘You’re welcome for the quick healing, now get your ass moving,‘ Shaw says, but I can hear the pride in his voice at our mate’s strength.

I feel like my words opened pandora’s box, because Sophie is fighting hard. She gone from defense to offense, kicking and punching until I‘ m the one stepping back and nearly losing my footing. It’s taking all my strength and training to block some of her hardest hits, so I’m not bruised for half the day.

She’s coming at me hard and fast. I can see the anger in her eyes, the ferocity in her, the determination that no one will ever claim her like that. When I finally get an opening, I grab her arm, whipping her around and pining her back against my chest, her arms crossed in front of her. Both of us are panting, gasping for air at the battle my little mate just gave me.

I bite down on her ear, gently. “You win, my love. You are fucking fantastic and sexy as hell. I’m so proud to call you my mate,” I say to her.

She turns her head to look at me, pulling her ear from my teeth. “That really pissed me off, because it almost happened.”

“I know, but you’re mine now and Owen better keep his filthy paws off you.”

I feel the shift in her emotions, going from anger to desire. It’s not uncommon after a battle, and especially when I know she can feel my pride in her through our bond. I lean in and take her mouth in a dirty, possessive kiss, growling my possession over this incredible woman loud enough for all to hear.

Our moment is broken by the clapping of our warriors all around us. Sophie jumps and I release her, but she immediately turns, leaning her body against mine.

“What? You’ve never seen two mates kissing before?” she says, repeating my words from yesterday and making me bark out a laugh. Damn, I’m a lucky bastard.

I feel even luckier a moment later. “Here, let me give you something to clap about,” she says, and jumps into my arms, wrapping her body around me as she initiates the same possessive kiss I just gave her. The pack begins howling and clapping, but this isn’t the same feeling that you have at a marking ceremony. This is happiness and pride that I feel running through the entire pack. They are proud that their Alpha and Luna are so much in love.

When she pulls away, she hops out of my arms and takes my hand, leading me back inside. Her eyes are twinkling with mischief, and I can’t fucking wait until tonight, to see what positions my adventurous mates wants to try as part of winning today’s wager.

It isn’t until we pass them, that I realize that Allison and Letti are standing there with looks of shock, a hint of fear, and incredulity on their faces at Sophie’s very public display in front of our warriors and pack members. Good, maybe they can tell Alphas Kayce and Robin exactly what they’ve seen between me and Sophie while they’ve been here. I really could use two more Alphas on my side when we face the Committee of Alphas.
