Chapter 150: Jocelyn’s Arrival
Sophie
Several hours later, we get the announcement that Alpha Zahn and Luna Jocelyn have arrived on our pack lands.
“They’re here,” I say to Nikki and Allison. We head to the front door to greet them, meeting up with our mates, Kinsley, and Lucas as we go.
Hunter and I stand up front. He takes my hand as I feel the nerves starting again. The others stand behind us, providing a unified front. I’m not sure who the unified front is for, Zahn or Jocelyn.
When they pull up, I see Jocelyn in the front seat. Her eyes assess the group of us that have come out to welcome them.
Alpha Zahn gets out of the car first. “Alpha Hunter, Luna Sophie,” he greets before walking around the car.
“Alpha Zahn, welcome to our pack,” Hunter says as Jocelyn opens the door on her side. When Zahn extends a hand to help her, she snarls at him. His teeth snap shut, and his lips press tightly together as he steps back lowering his hand.
I was right about Jocelyn. I’m not sure why she felt the need to stand up out of the car, especially without assistance, but she’s very unsteady on her feet, her body obviously misshapen even under the blousy dress she’s wearing.
“Luna Jocelyn, welcome to our pack,” I say, hoping to start

things on a positive note.
Instead of responding, she looks me over, her eyes lingering on my protruding stomach, her lip curling in disgust.
“Some legend you are,” she finally growls, disappointment and disgust obvious in her tone.
Hunter snarls at her, stepping in front of me. “Listen up, Jocelyn,” he growls, intentionally being disrespectful by not using her title. I grab his arm to keep him from going to get in her face. I can feel the heat of his anger flowing through our bond:
“You are ONLY here because my mate wants you here. I would have told both of you to shove it and figure out your mate bond on your own. You’re not my problem and you obviously don’t want my help. But I will not allow you to come into my pack and disrespect my mate. You know nothing about her. Whatever anger you have towards your mate, or the Moon Goddess, or anyone else, will NOT be directed at my mate. If you cannot abide by that rule, you can leave now.”
“Hunter, no!” I plead, looking at him.
“I will not allow anyone to disrespect you in our pack, Sophie. This is your home, and she will respect that and you, or I will personally escort you off my pack lands, and leave you in the forest for the predators,” he says, turning back to Jocelyn.
“You dare stand there and pass judgement on my mate, at woman who is the most kind, generous, and loving woman I’ve ever met? How dare you? Who the fuck do you think you are? There is not one person in this pack who wouldn’t lay down their life for their Luna. They love and respect her that much. I very

much doubt that you can say the same,” he snarls at her.
“And they aren’t the only ones,” Nikki says behind me. “We, her friends, would lay down our lives for her too. And we know that she would do the same for us. Whatever you have been through, you have no right to put that on Sophie. You don’t know her at all. Save your judgement until you do. And know that her only goal is to help you. Whether or not you accept that help is up to you.”
We all stand quietly, waiting to see what Jocelyn will decide. She stares at me, taking in what Hunter and Nikki said. I’m not sure which surprised her more, Hunter’s protectiveness towards me, or Nikki’s support of me.
“You can’t help me,” she says quietly.
