The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 52: Brooklyn Hunter

It takes all my training as an Alpha to hold my s**t together while I race Brooklyn to the pack hospital. All I really want to do is run to Alpha Owen's pack and tear him to shreds.

'Incoming emergency to the pack hospital,' I mind link to my pack members.

I hear several pack members respond and I know they'll be there waiting for me when I arrive.

I turn, seeing that Leah is struggling to keep up. "Sophie, can you carry her?" I ask, not wanting to leave her behind, but knowing that Brooklyn has lost too much blood in the time it's taken Leah to get here. I can't slow down to let her keep up.

"I've got her, go!" Sophie says.

I begin running faster, feeling Brooklyn's blood soaking my arms. and the clothes I'm wearing.

"Hang on, Brooklyn. You're safe now. I won't let anyone hurt you ever again. You're back in Alpha Hunter's pack. You're safe," I say to her, not knowing if she can hear me or if it will help, but hopefully if it comes down to her living or dying based on her own will power, she'll know that she's safe and she'll choose to live.

As I rush up to the pack hospital, the doors are opened, and a gurney is waiting.

"What happened?" Dr. Felicity asks.

"I don't have all the details, but from what I understand she was claimed publicly and then cast aside," I say to the doctor, who looks up at me in horror before turning back to Brooklyn. She pulls the shirt away from her neck and there is the mark, she's been claimed.

"But she's not a ranked she-wolf!" Dr. Felicity says.

I feel my claws come out and I have to step back as the nurses in the room yelp with the strength of my anger.

"Hunter!" Sophie says, pushing into the room and past the nurses. "Go talk to Leah, find out what happened. I'll stay with -Brooklyn."

"Our guests..."

"I've already told Kinsley and Lucas what's happening. They'll take care of it."

I can't seem to tear my eyes away from this young girl, covered in blood, with a f**ki**g mark on her neck.

"Hunter!" Sophie says, putting her hands on my face and pulling

attention to her. "Breathe with me, Hunter. I need you to calm down. Our staff can't help her if they're trying to work around your aura, baby. Breathe," she says taking two deep breaths. I follow her lead until I can pull my aura back.

"Come with me," she says, taking my hand like I'm a child and leading me from the room. "I'll be right back" she tells the doctor.
