The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 50

Chapter 50: Reasons Hunter

I trust Kayce not to do anything rash. He, like me, has always wanted to find his mate. If we had been at Allison's birthday party, he would have handled it like Calvin did with Amelia, giving her as much time to get to know him as possible. So, I'm not worried about what he will do over dinner or even at the after party. However, I do wonder how he will handle it if she doesn't want to sleep with him tonight or if he refuses to claim her privately.

I guide Sophie into the room I had set up for us to have dinner, mind linking the kitchen staff to let them know we need dinner for seven, not four.

Luna already let us know, Alpha,' the kitchen omegas reply.

Of course she did. I smile down at my mate. I can feel her nervousness at having Kayce and Robin around these she- wolves, but she once again made me feel like a fucking king when she looked to me for my opinion. The trust that she has in me, after only such a short amount of time, is incredible and I only want it to grow. A mate bond, created the way it was meant to be created, between two people. When we get to the room, Sophie watches to see how the women will sit. Kayce pulls a chair out for Allison, and she sits, blushing shyly while he sits beside her. Nikki sits on her other side, as if she's ready to pull Allison away from Kayce if he does anything wrong. Robin, sits directly across from Nikki, wiggling

his eyebrows at her. That means either can't sit beside Sophie or Letti will have to sit beside either Kayce or Robin. Not surprisingly, Letti leaves an empty seat between her and Robin, sitting across from Kayce.

I look at Sophie. Part of why I wanted the two of them here is so they can see the difference in my mate bond compared to everyone else's.

'How would you feel about sitting in my lap?' I ask her in the mind link.

She looks at me, then at the table.

'Okay,' she says, but I can tell she's not comfortable with the idea.

'Do you trust me?' I ask her.

'Absolutely,' she says with no hesitation.

I smile, sitting at the head of the table in between Letti and

Kayce. I scoot the chair back and tapping my lap. My mate not only sits in my lap, but she wraps her arms around my neck, kissing my cheek.

As expected, both Kayce and Robin frown at the interaction.

"Forgive me, I didn't want to be seated away from my mate," I say. "I think it's important for both of you to see the difference between what I have with Sophie versus every other mate bond you've ever seen with a mated ranked couple."

"You could be commanding her to do this," Kayce says. I notice that his hand is twitching to touch Allison. She looks almost as

desperate for his touch.

I look at Sophie. "Am I commanding you? Be honest." I say, putting the full force of my command behind it. I see Letti's chin go up in submission, Allison's as well, making Kayce growl. "No," Sophie says, and I release my aura.

I look at Kayce, waiting for him to acknowledge my mate's response.

"Okay, fine. I want to ask Sophie some questions," he says.

"As do I," Robin says, leaning onto the table, with his hands clasped together.

"Go ahead," she says.

"Why did you run? Two years ago, why did you run?" Kayce asks her.

"You were there that night, at my sister's party," she says and Kayce nods. "I'm sure you knew what was going to happen, just as Hunter did, but I didn't. I was sent to my room, but I didn't. stay there. I came back out and saw what happened. The warrior who took me to my room that night told me what was going to happen and that was why I had to go to my room. I didn't believe her. You see, we, as females, aren't told what was going to happen to us, until our 18th birthday, which has apparently changed since I left.
