Chapter 34: Surprise Sophie
"You didn't mark and mate my daughter in public?" my father asks incredulously, looking at Hunter.
"No, sir. That's why I wanted you to hear the story from Sophie. I have never believed in the public claimings. I have more respect for my mate than that. And even if I didn't, I am one hell of a possessive Alpha. I will never allow anyone, any man, to see my mate like that except for me," he says, making me so proud once again that he's mine.
I lean against him, and he looks at me, kissing me gently on the lips.
"Mine," he growls softly.
"Oh, Sophie, sweetheart. I'm so happy for you," my mom says, crying again. My poor mother. This has been quite a shock for her.
I smile at her, then look at my father. He's still staring at Hunter. "This is going to present problems for you and your pack, Alpha Hunter."
"Yes, I'm aware of that and it's why you are our first stop. You won't be our last, but I expect a battle. Not only because I refuse to claim Sophie publicly, but I intend to open my borders to all of the she-wolves on the run. I intend to become a sanctuary for them."
My father blows out a breath, then scrubs his hands over his face. "When you go in, you go all in, don't you?"
"Yes, sir," Hunter says.
"You may as well call me Carter. We're family now."

"Thank you, Carter. I'm hoping I can count on your support if it does come to war."
"Yeah, you'll have my support, for what it's worth. But you'll need more. Who else are you thinking?" he asks, pulling his plate of food forward and beginning to eat. Apparently talk of war is easier to stomach than his daughter's claiming..
"I intend to reach out to Dutton, Kayce, and Robin. I wanted to get your thoughts on Alpha Calvin," Hunter asks about my sister's mate before also digging into his food. "Oh, mother, how is Amelia?"
The men stop and my father looks at my mother. "It's been hard for her, sweetheart. Seeing you with Hunter...it's so different than how she's been with Calvin." "But is she happy?"
Mother looks at my father. "I think she's finally finding happiness. It's been a hard road for them."
"They're coming by today, actually," my father says. "It's why I told you I needed to see you this morning instead of this afternoon, Hunter."
I turn to look at Hunter. "Can we stay and see them. Please, Hunter?" 15:56

"Let me check with Lucas. If nothing else, you can stay, and I'll head back to the pack. I can always come back and get your later."
I frown. I don't want him to leave me here.
Hunter looks at my father. "I made Sophie my official Luna last night. When we returned yesterday morning, I gave my pack the option to leave or swear their loyalty to her and me. I lost my Ga**a and about a quarter of my pack."
