The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 86

“You’re still welcome,” I say to them.

“We’ll be back later,” they say and turn, jogging off into the darkness. I turn back to the ones I can help now. “Your names?”

“I’m Chloe and these are my daughters, Lillian and Addison. How is Brooklyn’s mother, I think her name is Leah,” Chloe asks as we walk.

“She’s in the pack hospital as well,” I say. I’m not sure how much the other pack members know, so I’m not going to assume that they know that Leah rejected her mate.

By the time we get the girls settled, it’s nearly time for training. I look at Hunter. “I doubt I’m going to defeat you today. I’m way too tired.”

“If our visitors weren’t here, I’d say we could go back to bed, but we missed them last night. We need to be here for them this morning.”

“I know. The joys of running a pack. That’s okay, I want to see Allison this morning, see how she’s doing.”

We rush to our room and shower before heading down to warrior training. When we arrive, I see that Hunter was right. Allison’s neck is covered in hickeys and Kayce’s scent is all over her.

Honestly, it was Sophie that I think has made the difference. My mate didn’t trust me. She’d take Hunter’s word before mine, her own mate. I think, between the two of us, Hunter and I could have helped rebuild Kinsley’s inner strength, but it was Sophie coming here that changed

I’d had a restless night, not only because I have to decide how I will vote at the Committee, but a certain brown–haired, green–eyed little Alpha kept popping into my head. I smile as I get ready for Hunter’s warrior training this morning. I’d noticed the little Alpha, Nikki,

She turns and gives me a look that’s all Alpha. “I don’t need a doctor to tell me that I’m healed enough to spar.”

“Actually, you do,” Hunter says, putting himself in front of her and blocking her path. “My doctors didn’t operate on you for hours just so you could mess up your leg again because you’re pushing too hard.”
