The One He Claimed by Cooper novel Chapter 146

Chapter 146: Alpha Meeting 

Hunter 

I’m still riding the high of seeing my son and actually watching him react to me this morning. His picture is already framed and on my desk when Sophie walks in for the Alpha meeting. I immediately pull her into my lap and begin playing with my son, knowing that he’s enjoying himself as much as I am. 

Sophie leans back against me as I dial into the video meeting. We’re the first ones on, which is fine. It gives me a moment to enjoy my mate, kissing her neck while I play with my son. I realize that before long, I won’t be able to do both at the same time, at least not like this. 

Amelia joins the call next, and I’m surprised to see that Calvin is still in her pack. It’s been several days since he arrived. She looks more rested, but no less stressed. 

“Hey, Sophie. Hello Hunter.” 

“1 

“Hello Amelia, Alpha Calvin,” I say, using his title since he and I don’t have the same relaxed relationship that Amelia and I have. I see him frown at that, but he’s never acted like he wanted a less formal, more relaxed relationship with me. Ever. 

“Hey, Amelia, I have a question for you before the others join. Dr. Caspian is going to go to Dutton’s pack to check on Tiffany and Tammi. I asked if he’d be willing to come check on you as well, and he’s happy to do it. I don’t remember Dad’s, or your pack now, having an obstetrician

“We don’t and I’d be grateful to have Dr. Caspian come check my daughter.” 

“I’m far enough behind you, Amelia, that maybe when you get closer to your due date, he and Brooklyn can come stay there so he’s there for your delivery.” 

I see relief wash over her face. “That would be fantastic, Soapy. Thank you.” 

I’m not sure that Amelia realizes that she slipped back into her kid name for my mate, but it seems to make both of them happy. 

“Allison and Nikki are coming next weekend. He’s going to check them over and then he’ll head to your packs,” Sophie tells them. 

“Oh, thank the goddess! If Kayce hounds me one more time about needing to see a doctor, I’m going to put him in the doghouse,” Allison says as she and Kayce join the call. 

“I will not apologize for caring about you and our pup,” he says sternly. I watch as Allison turns away from her mate, rolling her eyes at the camera. 

“Hey, you want to see something incredible?” I ask, excited to share my news. 

“Yeah!” Kayce says. 

“Don’t we always,” Robin says as he and Nikki join the call. 

“Don’t we always what?” Dutton asks, as he, Tiffany, and Tammi join as well.

I grab the picture of my son, seeing Sophie smiling at me as I turn it and find the camera. 

“Ohhhh!” all the Lunas on the call say, possibly Amelia too, but I‘ m not paying attention. I’m too excited to tell them what happened. 

Sophie’s arm comes around my neck. 

“So, my son and I play this game…” 

“Hide and seek,” Kayce says. 

“YES!” I exclaim. 

“Move that game,” he murmurs against Allison’s hair. I can tell he’s playing with his pup now. 

“So, look at this,” I say, making sure they can see the image of our son. “That’s Huntington. He moved to where I was talking to him and Shaw began purring at him.” 

“What?” I hear from multiple people as several Alpha faces push closer to their video screens. 

“It was really amazing. He even had Dr. Felicity hold the wand while he played hide and seek, and we could see Hunt moving to Hunter’s hands.” 

“Oh, we’re so doing that when we’re there,” Kayce says excitedly. 

“Us too?” Robin asks. 

“Yep, you too!” Sophie says. 

Dutton growls as Ezra and Margot join the call. “My pups aren’t

big enough yet.” 

“What are we looking at?” Ezra frowns, looking at my screen. 

“A baby,” Margot says. “I’m guessing that’s your pup, Sophie?” 

I explain again about the picture, before pulling it back, looking at my son once more before setting the frame down and focusing on the meeting. My hands automatically go to Sophie’s stomach and my game with my son begins again. 

“So, who wants to begin?” Robin asks. 

“We have four vacant packs. One is close to me, that’s Owen’s old pack. Two are closer to you, Ezra, Joshua and Elias‘ old packs, and one borders Alpha Amelia, that’s Alaric’s old pack.” 

“How are his surviving pack members, Alpha Amelia?” Ezra asks her. 

Calvin opens his mouth to answer, but she jumps in. “We’re still assessing which ones need sanctuary and which ones might be trying to undermine me for taking revenge on their Alpha,” she 

says. 

“Smart,” Robin says. 

“And what about Owen’s old pack members?” Dutton asks. 

“I still have the majority of them,” I say. 

“Yeah, the others are spread between mine and Robin’s packs. I don’t know about you, Hunter, but my group wants to go home,” Kayce says. 

I look at Sophie who nods. “Yeah, they miss their home. They

don’t miss Owen, but they miss the livelihood that they left behind,” she says. 

“Same here,” Nikki agrees. 

“Do we know what’s going on with Joshua’s and Elias‘ packs?” Dutton asks. 

“No, and that’s a good question. We took out his warriors and his Beta when he attacked,” I say. 

“Margot and I have talked about it and we’re going to go to both packs. We’ll be taking Luna June as well, since they were the Lunas of those packs,” Ezra says. 

“When are you planning to do that?” I ask. 

“Actually, I heard Zahn set a date to come to your pack, so I figured that would be the safest time to bring my mate and her mother to the other packs. Less chance for a surprise attack.” 

“If you want to wait until we’re back, I can send some warriors to go with you,” Robin says. 

“No, Margot thinks the pack, or most of them, will rally around her and her mother,” he says, looking at Margot. 

“Not everyone liked having Joshua as their Alpha. Those people will be looking for a new leader. The same is true for my parents‘ pack. Having my mother there, letting them see that she’s still alive, will go a long way to getting them to agree to either come with us, or allow us to have a competition for the pack’s Alpha.” 

“Are you planning to compete, Margot?” I ask her.

She looks at Ezra, before looking away. “I haven’t decided yet. But apparently the precedence has been set. Isn’t that right, Alpha Amelia.” 

“Yes, it has,” Amelia says. 

“Which reminds me, did everyone read my proposal?” Nikki asks, jumping in. 

“Yes,” I say, smiling. 

“All in favor,” she says, making me laugh. 

“Wait, wait, wait! What proposal?” Calvin asks. 

“That she–wolves be allowed to take leadership positions in the pack,” Amelia says. “Since you started this, I’m sure you’re in agreement.” Her tone is still icy with her mate. I’m guessing they haver,‘t come to any agreements between them. 

I watch Calvin press his lips tightly together, not willing to fight with his mate in front of us. 

“So, all in favor?” Nikki asks again. 

“I already made a she–wolf my Gamma, so I’d be a hypocrite to say no,” I say raising my hand. 

“My mate would kick my ass to the moon and back if I said no,” Robin says, smiling at his mate. 

“You’d love every minute of it,” she grumbles softly, making him chuckle. 

I watch as Allison looks at Kayce, who smiles as he pretends to think about it. “What do you think my love?” he finally asks her.

“I think you know the right answer, Kayce. You don’t need me to tell you,” she says, her eyebrow going up in challenge. 

He doesn’t look away from her as he raises his hand in agreement.
