The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 85

‘I know. We’ll figure it out,‘ he says. If pack members start leaving other packs, coming to our pack, it’s even more likely that we’ll have a war on our hands. The problem is, if these are omegas or even inexperienced warriors, it means we have more people that we have to protect, which means we need more fighters to fight.

When we arrive, I shift quickly, then hearing Hunter’s growl, I turn, letting him pull a shirt over my head before turning back to the patrols.

“What he did was wrong. That would never be tolerated in my pack Hell, I wouldn’t even allow my own mate to go through that process,” Hunter says. He stays back, not wanting to scare the women. “If you want sanctuary, you are welcome and you will be safe here.”

“How can they possibly trust that? You have no way to prove it,” the other ranked female says. I lift my nose and sniff. She’s also a Beta.

“Are you sisters?” I ask.

They look at each other, then back at me. “Yes. We’re twins. Identical.”
