The One He Claimed by Cooper novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62: Taking a Stand
Sophie
I move to stand in front of Hunter. He **ks his head at me curiously, and I feel his mind touching mine to see what I’m doing, but he doesn’t stop me.
“You are all forgetting one very important thing,” I snarl.
“And what is that,” Alpha Elias chuckles condescendingly.
“While I have no doubt that my mate would crush each and every one of you, decimating your packs for me, for our pack, and for what we believe in, I will also be waging my own war. How quickly you forget who I am. I am Sophie Meyers-Reynolds. You all know me as the face of this ‘revolution’. Your ranked she-wolves have stood behind me, without me even knowing it, killing themselves in my name and for the future generations of ranked she-wolves. You do not want me as your enemy Alphas, because I guarantee you, if I were to actively start a revolution, none of you would be left standing. I would rally every ranked she-wolf together and we would fight, side by side as sisters against each and every one of you, and we would win.”
I look at all of them, some shocked faces, some admiring faces, and some arrogant, disbelieving faces. “Because even if we lose, we win. We have much, much more to fight for than you. You, and the werewolf population, cannot survive without us. If you want to weaken the packs, leave only warriors and omegas to mate with, be my guest, although, I’d bet that soon enough, those she-wolves will join our cause as well,” I say, glaring at

Owen.
“Do not push me, Alphas. You cannot afford to fight a battle. against me and my mate on two separate fronts. You will lose, you will die, and your bloodlines will end.”
I stand my ground as the room stays quiet, everyone staring at me. I feel the heat of my mate as he comes to stand behind me.
“You heard my mate,” he says. “Come for us and you will die. Good day, Alphas,” he says, taking my hand and walking me out of the room.
The moment we’re outside, Hunter presses me against the wall, taking my mouth in a hot, dirty kiss.
“You are so f**g **y. I want to bury myself inside you and roar to the world that you’re mine,” he growls before kissing me roughly, desperately again.
“Isn’t there somewhere we can go?” I pant, as desperate for him as he is for me.
He pulls away, pressing his forehead against mine, panting with the rearly unbearable desire that I feel flowing through me.
“No, there’s nowhere that I can ensure that we won’t be interrupted. F**k, Sophie. I was already so turned on by your submission, then you had to go all Alpha on that room full of Alphas. I swear I almost o**d just listening to you.”
I giggle at that, knowing my mate has more control than that, but also knowing that seeing him taking on those Alphas was a huge turn on for me too.

“Sorry, am I interrupting?” Alpha Calvin says from beside us.
“No. Well, yes, but no,” Hunter says, pulling away from me and not so discreetly adjusting himself while I fix my clothing.
“Umm, I uh…” Calvin says, looking down then back up at me.
“I wanted you to understand my pause earlier, in the voting. It wasn’t about whether or not I believe that your mate deserves to remain an Alpha. You do, of course,” Calvin says, looking at Hunter then back at me.
“My hesitation was more about me seeing the difference between you and Amelia. I know sisters are different, but you’re both Alphas, you were raised by the same parents, and you’re both good, strong women. However…”
He pauses, looking down at his hands before making fists and looking back up at me. “She would never have trusted me like that. Not even two years later. She doesn’t and she may never have that level of trust in me.”
He huffs out a breath. “I envy you,” he says to Hunter. “I envy both of you for what you have, what I could have had if I had stoo ‘my ground two years ago. But I didn’t, and I have to live with that every day. When we saw you at your father’s pack, I didn’t truly understand the difference. I do now. And I wanted both of you to know that Amelia and I both stand behind you. The law needs to be changed. Our mates and our daughters deserve better.”
“Thank you, Alpha: And for what it’s worth, I noticed that Luna Amelia didn’t feel the pull of my Alpha command. She noticed it too. I hope that helps,” Hunter says to him.

He nods and turns, seeing Amelia waiting for him. I’m glad to see my sister, reaching her hand out, beckoning her mate to her. He responds instantly.
“Congratulations, Sophie. I’m very happy to hear that you and Alpha Hunter are expecting,” she says to me.
“Thank you,” I say, leaning into my mate. “I hope our children can grow up together and be good friends like we were Amelia.”
“I’d like that,” she says, before she and Calvin turn and head out.
Hunter and I follow, finding my parents.
“Oh, sweetheart. I’m so proud of you, both of you,” my father says, hugging me. “What a strong Alpha female you are,” he says proudly.
“She gets that from me,” my mother says, and I turn to hug her, laughing.
“Goddess save me from strong-willed women,” my father says to Hunter, but he’s smiling as he says it.
“You love every minute of it,” my mother teases him.
“Yes, I do,” he says, smiling fondly at my mother.
“So do I,” Hunter says, holding out his hand to me. I walk to him instantly, letting him wrap his arm around me as we face my parents.
“You know they won’t heed the warning,” my father says to Hunter, turning seridus.
“I know. But I also know that between my mate and I, we won’t

lose,” Hunter says, looking at me proudly.
“No, we will not,” I say, smiling up at him.
“Let me know what you need from us. Robin has Aiden on one side, I have Alaric on one side. If you need my pack, or my resources, you have them.”
“Thank you, Alpha,” Hunter says, and we make our way to the car. Hunter keeps me close as the other Alphas are milling around, giving us angry, aggressive looks.
“I’ll see you in just over a week,” Alpha Robin says quietly, watching the other Alphas. “Nikki will be turning 18.
“We’ll see you soon then.”
“Alpha Hunter, Luna Sophie. I admit, I wasn’t sure what to expect from today, but it has been very intriguing indeed. I’d like to come visit your pack, get to know you better, Luna. I’m not sure if Alpha Hunter told you, but I was mated to his sister,” Alpha Ezra says.
“Yes, he did.”
Herods, looking sad. “She would have liked you,” he says.
“Yes, she would have,” Hunter agrees. “You’re welcome any time, Alpha Ezra.”
“I appreciate that. I’ll be in touch.”
When we get to the car, Kayce is there, waiting.
“About f**g time. Let’s go. I need to get back and mark my
