The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 75

Chapter 75

The shock of finding my mate finally wears off and I pull Rodion back. He begins pacing in my mind, keeping a close watch on his mate. Our

mate

I look at the woman. I don’t even know her name, but she looks terrified. I also realize there are two other females blocking my path to her and Hunter’s two Betas on either side of her, ready to protect her.

“My apologies. I didn’t mean to scare you, or your wolf. I wasn’t expecting to find my mate today, so I wasn’t prepared for my wolf’s reaction. Alpha Hunter, it seems, has been keeping quite a few secrets,” I say, growling at him.

“If I had told you, you wouldn’t have come and then where would you be?” he asks me, unabashedly.

I sigh, ignoring that remark and focus on my mate.

“I am Alpha Kayce. My wolf is Rodion. May I at least have your names?” I ask her, careful to make sure that Rod’s growling doesn’t exit my mouth.

“Allison, and my wolf is Mizette.”

“Allison,” I say reverently just as Rodion begins purring at his mate’s name. I smile. “Mizette, meaning a mini reflection of you? How appropriate.”

She seems surprised that I know what her wolf’s name means. “She’s very much like me,” she says shyly.

I nod, unwilling to let her out of my sight, but also not wanting to scare her.

“Perhaps, Luna, our dinner for four could become a dinner for seven? Assuming the two young ladies who are also protecting my mate from me are her friends?” I ask Luna Sophic.

“That will be up to Allison. Alpha,” Luna Sophic says.

I look back at my mate. “My word as an Alpha that I won’t try to claim you. I would just like to get to know you and my wolf is going to drive me nuts if he can’t see and smell you,” I say honestly, eliciting a small smile. I realize I want to see that smile, much larger, on her face every

dav

The two women in front of her, well one is still a girl, underage, turn and look at her. Rodion sniffs the air, one Alpha, one Gamma.

‘And our mate is a Beta,‘ he purrs.

“Do you trust his word as an Alpha, Luna Sophie?” she asks. I want to be offended, but I know that not all Alphas can be trusted these days. However, it’s interesting that they are asking Luna Sophie, not Alpha Hunter, since he knows us, and she doesn’t.

Even more intriguing to me is that Sophie turns and looks at Hunter, asking him if I can be trusted. I turn to look him in the eye, raising an eyebrow. He watches me for a moment, then nods.

“Alpha Hunter trusts him and if he does, I do,” Sophie says. My eyes flash back to Allison.

She nods, then looks at the other two. “You don’t have to come.

“Like hell I’m not,” the Alpha female says.

Chapter 75

“What happened to your leg?” Robin asks her.

“Casualty of the war we’re fighting to not be claimed publicly and not be hunted down like dogs,” she says sharply. She’s got grit, that’s for sure. If she’s an Alpha, she’s someone’s prize, but not mine. My prize is still watching me closely.

“Will you walk with me?” I ask her, holding out my arm.

She looks around at all the others, but it’s Luna Sophie who shrugs, basically saying it’s up to her to decide.

I wait her out, pleased when she slowly walks up to me, barely putting her hand on my arm, as if she’s afraid she’ll have to jump away from me

at any moment.

I cover her hand with mine, noticing that her eyes nearly roll into the back of her head as she takes a deep breath of my scent. I’ll have to ask her what I smell like to her.

“How about you two, may I escort you ladies?” Robin asks, using his most charming voice.

“Fat chance, Alpha,” the Alpha female says to him, but it only makes him smile.

“Do I at least get a name, little Alpha?” he asks her.

Once again, the girls look at Sophie, not Hunter for confirmation that it‘

s okay. I have sorely underestimated her power over these young she- wolves. Something I need to make sure I never do again.

When Sophie nods, the Alpha female looks at Robin, her chin up high. “My name is Nicole, but everyone calls me Nikki.

He nods, then turns to the other young woman.

“And you, little Gamma?” he asks the other one.

“Letticia, but everyone calls me Letti.”

“And what’s your name. Alpha,” Nikki asks, her voice still full of snark.
