The One He Claimed by Cooper novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151: Unexpected
Jocelyn
I’m so angry. So very angry that my life is what it is. Why couldn’ t I just die? Why is the Moon Goddess punishing me? What did I do that was so bad in my life that I deserved this?
Zahn didn’t give me a choice about going to this pack. Like I want everyone in the world to see how broken I am, how incompetent I am that even throwing myself off a cliff to get away from this man didn’t work. And yet, here I am.
When we arrive, I’ll admit, I’m a bit surprised to see that it’s not just the one Alpha and Luna, but several. And unlike most ranked couples that I’ve seen, none of these women seem fearful of their mates.
I was disappointed when I found out the legend, Sophie Meyers, the woman whose name I yelled when I jumped off the cliff, had been claimed by a mate. She’d been on the run for so long, had basically disappeared, that she’d almost become a martyr to those of us who were still on the run. I know I thought she was dead. But she had had the guts to do what the rest of us hadn’t. She’d run and taken the chance of living on her own. And the Alphas were never able to find her. Until Alpha Hunter did, apparently.
And she doesn’t even seem upset about it. If anything, she seems…happy. She’s not trying to hide the baby bump she’s sporting. Her Beta has one too, and so does one of the other Lunas.

Her Alpha surprised, me even more though. The vehemence of his response to me, his quick need to protect his mate, was

beyond that of protecting his pup. I didn’t do anything to make him think I would hurt his pup. Hell, I didn’t do anything to make him think I’d hurt his Luna, and yet he dressed me down,
basically threatened to leave me to die in the woods, just for sneering at her.
And she had been the one to ask him to let my attitude go. Even after I showed my obvious disgust in her, she still tried to get him to let her help me. And that other Luna, an Alpha wolf if my weakened senses are correct, stood by her, strongly speaking out for Luna Sophie, and her mate hadn’t said anything about it.
These people are f***g nuts.
But I was happy that they gave me the choice of not having Zahn with me. The man won’t give me a moment to breathe. He’ s constantly in my space, in my face, trying to convince me that he’s sorry for what he did.
F**k off, I say, and apparently, little Sophie Meyers agrees. I feel a bit smug that Zahn agreed to follow her rules thinking he wouldn’t have to, and now, her Alpha, Alpha Hunter, is insisting that he do it. Yet another f**ing shock. Alpha Hunter stood up for his Luna to me and to Zahn. He said that SHE gets to make the decisions. I don’t believe it. There’s no way that any Alpha would defer to his Luna for anything. But I’ll do what I said I would do, what that Alpha female, Nikki, said I should do. I’ll reserve my judgement for now, especially if it gives me some space from Zahn.
When my entourage wheels me into the pack hospital, there’s a young woman and a man waiting for me. The woman is

obviously an omega, and she’s wearing a mate mark. I can’t be sure, but I think that the doctor is her mate.
“Dr. Caspian, Brooklyn, this is Luna Jocelyn,” Luna Sophie says.
“Just Jocelyn,” I say on instinct. I don’t want to be known at Zahn’s anything, least of all his mate and Luna.
“Jocelyn, I’m Dr. Caspian and this is Brooklyn. We’d like to run some tests on you, see how you’re healing after your ordeal…” “My ordeal? You mean my failed attempt to kill myself?” I snap.
I hear a low growl behind me and turn to see Luna Sophie watching me. “My pack members are willing to help you, they will do whatever they can, and they will be respectful to you while they do so. I expect you to be just as respectful to them.” It’s a gentle correction, but a serious one.
“It’s okay, Luna. I imagine that anyone who tries to take their own life has a lot of anger and hurt inside them. As Luna Sophie
if you said, we’ll do our best to help you in any way we can, agree. Everything we offer is your choice. Here, you make the decisions,” the doctor says.
“I doubt that. Sounds like Luna Sophie wants me to get seen,” I say, looking at her. I’ve become accustomed to people doing whatever they want with me because I can’t exactly stop them.
“No. It’s your choice. If you don’t want to be here, we’ll turn around and go get you settled into a room. Kinsley has your options ready to discuss, if that’s your choice.”
I frown, surprised yet again, before looking back at the doctor and Brooklyn. “What can you do for me?”

“I won’t know until we run some tests on you, things like xrays, blood work, and maybe other tests depending on what you tell us in your initial examination. But I can assure you that we’ll talk to you about everything that we would like to do before we do it, get your agreement and discuss your results with you before developing a plan of action.”
I look up at Sophie and nod. “Okay, I’ll stay.”
“Alright, then I’ll pass her off to you two. Link me when she’s ready if I’m not here,” Sophie says.
The young woman, Brooklyn, comes to push the wheelchair.
“Luna Sophie,” I call as she turns away.
“Yes, Luna Jocelyn.” I wish she wouldn’t insist on calling me that.
“Thank you.”
“You’re here so we can try to help you. That’s all I want for you, Jocelyn. I hope you’ll let me and my pack do what we can for you.”
I nod again and Brooklyn wheels me into a room as Dr. Caspian holds the door open for us.
