The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 53: A Long Night Sophie

When we got back to our room, I knew Hunter and I both needed something to get our minds off of Brooklyn. Hunter especially was struggling with his frustration at not being able to protect one of his previous, vulnerable pack members. So, I did what any good mate would do, I chose a position that put him in control.

Only, that's not exactly how it played out. Hunter desperately needed a shower so after he washed off Brooklyn's blood and her scent no longer lingered on him, I chose our first position to be in the shower. However, rather than facing the shower wall, I wanted to see him. I wrapped my legs around him and while he still had me pressed against the wall, his arms were wrapped about me and he kissed me, holding me close, until he brought both of us to our release.

He had put his forehead against mine as both of us were panting. "I need you again."

"Bed," I said.

We'd quickly dried and then I told him I wanted to be on top. I had planned on trying the reverse cowgirl again tonight, that was fun, but I needed the connection to my mate, and I could feel through the bond that he needed it too.

When I straddled him, he sat up, wrapping my legs around him again. We had kissed as our bodies held each other, his hands

helping me to lift my hips up and down until we both came undone together.

"Again," he said.

And it had gone on like that for hours. We switched positions, but we never weren't wrapped around each other, holding each other, connecting every part of our bodies as moved slow, fast, gentle, rough, finding our release together over and over until we were both spent.

When we'd finally fallen asleep, my mate's mind was finally settled, at peace, at least for now.

It was less than an hour later when we got the mind link from Dr. Felicity letting us know that Brooklyn was out of surgery and stable. She also let us know that Leah had been given painkillers and medications to help her relax, to boost her system, and help her wolf heal her faster.

Hunter had pulled me closer to him and I snuggled into him and fell asleep. It was less than an hour after that when we got the mind link from the border patrols letting us know we had more she-wolves at our borders.

'Ranked she-wolves?' Hunter asks as we rush downstairs before shifting and heading to the border.

'It's both, Alpha. It seems as though some of Alpha Owen's pack members weren't happy with what happened to Brooklyn and have left his pack, coming here to ask for safety.' 'Hunter...' I say privately.

'I know. We'll figure it out,' he says. If pack members start
