The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 79

“We’re wolves, after all. What good are our advanced senses if we don‘ t use them. And what good are we as Alphas if we don’t protect those we are sworn to protect, those who are most precious to us,” I say, leaning forward to nuzzle Sophie and smiling as she leans into my touch.

“What are we even doing if we aren’t first protecting our mates,” I say and see Kayce glancing at Allison beside him, as Robin looks between Nikki and Letti.

As the food is brought in, the omegas look at a loss for what to do with the two plates of food for me and Hunter.

“You can set them both here,” I tell them. Now that I’m in Hunter’s lap, I’m comfortable and want to stay. “If that’s okay with you,” I say to

him.

“Is it okay if my mate wants to continue touching me? No question. I’ll always be okay with that,” he says, leaning forward just to the point where our lips would touch, once again giving me the opportunity to close the distance between us. I do, without hesitation. This time, I linger a little longer, knowing that he’s letting me drive how long and how deep our kisses get.

“They’re always like this?” I hear Robin ask.

“Still mild,” Letti says.

“Yeah, you should see them in training,” Allison says. “I’m super curious about that wager.”

“That wager is between me and my mate,” I say, pulling back but staying close enough that I can still feel Hunter’s breath on my lips, our eyes locked on each other.

“Yeah, it is. But it’s a good one,” he says.

“Yeah, it is,” I repeat his words making him chuckle before pecking my lips. “Eat, you’re still too thin.”

“Are we invited to join your sparring class tomorrow?” Kayce asks, he looks at Hunter, but I notice he’s making sure Allison has everything she needs before starting on his food.

“Oh, I need a knife,” she says.

“Here, take mine,” he says instantly, handing his to her. I see their fingers touch, watching both of their bodies respond. I look at my mate, smiling a knowing smile. The mate bond is something else.

Hunter gives Kayce his knife and I mind link the omegas that we need

another one.

“You are absolutely invited, and I hope you will attend. Alpha Carter loaned us some of his warriors until we can fill the void of the ones that left our pack,” Hunter says, making Kayce and Robin look at each other.

“Perhaps you’d better continue your story while we eat,” Kayce suggests, still making sure that Allison is comfortable. He’d make a good mate, but he’d make a better mate if he marked and mated her privately.

Hunter tells them about our return, his statement that he has no plan to ublicly and any not in agreement could leave.

“Do you think you can handle losing to a Beta, Alpha?” she asks. taunting him. For the first time since he’s arrived, he smiles widely.

“I’ll try to keep up,” he says, and both turn back to their meals, smiling.

“Anyway, back to Carter’s warriors, I have them leading my warriors, training us on their techniques, giving them some new methods for fighting, hoping to give us another edge. If you decide to stay more than one night, which you’re welcome to do, perhaps you’d consider running a class and teaching my warriors some of your techniques,” Hunter says.

He kisses my arm and looks up at me. I can tell he’s pleased with the amount of food I’m eating. I think Kinsley was right. I just needed more activity in my life to get my appetite going and since Hunter and I have that wager, I’m getting lots of exercise at night as well as during training.
