The One He Claimed by Cooper
Chapter 10
Chapter 10: Scent Hunter
Lucas and I head to my office after morning warrior training. We walk in, ready to look over the patrols and everything else that we need to tackle today. I sit down at my desk, and he sits across from me. I noticed something different about him this morning, A spring in his step, but didn't want to ask in front of everyone. Now, however, it's just the two of us.
"Something's different. What's going on with you?" I ask.
He gives me a smug smile. "Why would you say something's different?"
"Besides the fact that you're my Beta and my best friend, I've known you for a long time. What's up?"
"Kinsley invited me to sleep in the bed with her last night."
I look at him a moment, not exactly sure how impactful this is. They've been together over a year. "Was that..."
"After I marked her, I told her she could have the bed and I would sleep on the couch until she invited me to sleep with her. Last night was the first night that she finally invited me. Nothing happened and I'm okay with that, but she let me hold her all night. I haven't felt this calm since I met her."
"Congratulations, Lucas. Seriously, I'm happy for you."
"I think you were right about giving her choices. It seems the

more that I'm giving her options, the more open she is to including me in her life. We still have a long way to go but we took a step in the right direction last night."
"Good. I'm glad to hear it. And I hope you continue to make steps in the right direction."
We begin going through the work for the day, making sure our patrols are scheduled properly, making sure we account for our she-wolves who are no longer able to shift because of pregnancies. Unlike ranked members, the warriors and the omegas don't claim their mates publicly. So, generally speaking, once they're mated, they begin having pups right away.
It's getting close to lunchtime when Kinsley knocks on the door. I'm about to tell her to come in, but Lucas is up and heading to the door before I have a chance to. He opens the door, smiling at his mate.
"Hey Kins, come on in."
She returns the smile, and a soft blush flushes her cheeks. She
looks down a ment before looking back up at Lucas. "I needed to speak with you and Alpha Hunter for a moment," she says, stepping into my office.
"Hey Kinsley, what do you need?" I ask.
"I need to go into town tomorrow. I usually go once a month, just to make sure that our grocery bill is paid and there aren't any problems. It's never been an issue before, however, now it means I won't be able to leave food for the she-wolves because I'll be in town. I was wondering if one of you would be willing to go and leave the food and water for the she-wolves. I don't know if word has gotten out or if perhaps it's the same person
