The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 93

“Yes. Are you okay. Is something wrong?” I ask, stroking her hair out of her face so I can see her more clearly.

She chuckles. “You could say that. Come on, let’s sit.”

She takes my hand and pulls us even farther away from the others. I sit on a tree stump and pull her into my lap.

“What is it? What’s wrong?” I ask her.

“So, Hedda swears that she didn’t know until that very moment, but…” she stops, looking at me and I see Hedda shining in her eyes. Shaw pushes forward, wanting to be here for his mate, no matter what they tell us.

“I’m pregnant.”

I blink. I blink again. I watch as a frown begins to form on Sophie’s face.

“Hunter? Did you hear me? I said I’m pregnant.”

“With a pup?” I ask. Okay, it’s not my finest moment. But the first time you hear that you’re going to be a father, especially when it’s only a couple of weeks after finding your mate, after wanting her and not finding her for years…well, you might sound stupid too.

“With YOUR pup,” Sophie says slowly.

As her words sink in, a warm, glowing feeling begins to spread through my body and I look down at her flat stomach, laying my hand over it. “My pup?”

She nods, putting her hand over mine. “It’s very early if Hedda just realized it, but…”

“You’re having my pup! YOU’RE HAVING MY PUP!” I say, jumping up and swinging Sophie around in my arms!

She begins laughing her sweet, Sophie laugh. Then I stop, setting her on her feet and kissing this amazing woman who keeps giving me gifts in my life.

I pull back abruptly. “You need to eat! You need to eat more. And no more training! You can’t train if you’re pregnant.”

“Hunter…” she says warningly.

“You’re carrying my pup. Sophie!”

“Yes, and I was carrying your pup this morning, yesterday, and the day before and I was able to train.” she growls.

“But that was before I knew…” She puts her fingers over my mouth.

“Why don’t we ask the doctor what they think before you start putting restrictions on me that are going to cause us to have an argument,” she says, as if this is the only reasonable solution.

“Sophie…”

“Are you a doctor?”

“No, but..”

“Have you ever had a pup before?”

“No, but…”

“Do you know what’s best for me?”

I open my mouth and quickly close it again. It had been on the tip of my tongue to say yes, but I know my mate well enough to know she won’t accept that answer.

“That’s a trick question,” I say instead.

She smiles. “I’ll make an appointment to see the doctor. Until then, if Hedda says I can do it, then I’m doing it.

”

“Doctor, today or tomorrow, and I want to be there,” I insist.

“Where else would you be when I get confirmation that I’m having our pup,” she says, cupping my face in her hands and lifting up on her toes to kiss me.

I growl possessively, now not just for my mate, but for the pup that she’s carrying. My pup. going to have a pup.

I’m

Fuck! We’re going to war and I’m going to have a pup. That adds an entirely new level of stress to an already stressful situation. Now, there’s no option of defeat, no choice that I could possibly lose. I had too much to live for before, but now? Now, there’s no alternative. I have to win the battle with the Committee of Alphas, and I have to win this war, for Sophie and for our pup.

I lift my mate into my arms and carry her into the packhouse. I should probably wait, the doctor hasn’t confirmed it yet, but I’m too excited.

I step into the dining room that is full of our pack members and our guests.

“Attention everyone! Your Luna has just informed me of some exciting news!”

“Hunter…” Sophie says, looking at me.

“It’s too good not to share, Soph,” I say, kissing her nose.

I can feel the excitement in the pack. It feels like the stronger my bond is to Sophie is, the stronger my bond is to my pack.

“Your Luna and I are going to have a pup!” I say, leaning in to kiss Sophie as the room erupts into deafening cheers all around us.

Sophie

I glad Hunter is happy that we’re having a pup. I do wish he’d waited until we’d at least seen the doctor before he announced it to the pack though.

‘Why? I’m sure,‘ Hedda purrs in my head.

‘I know. I’m just…there’s so much going on right now, Hedda. So much that could go wrong…‘
