The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 60 Trust Hunter

"Let me ask this committee something else. For those of you who have claimed your mates publicly, where are your pups?"

"Mine is right here," Elias says, gesturing to Luna Margot.

"You have one. Only one, after all the years that you and Luna June were mated," I say, nodding at Luna June so she knows I mean no offense to her. "Alpha Joshua, you and Luna Margot have been mated for three years, is that correct?" I ask and I see Margot glance at him from the corner of her eye. "That is correct, although I don't see the relevance," he growls.

"I'll get there," I say, smiling a fake smile. "No pups?"

"You know we don't," he growls, but I turn to Calvin.

"And you, Alpha Calvin, your mate is pregnant after two years, is that correct?" I ask. I'm not sure he wanted the others to know, but this is important.

"Yes, that's correct," he says and the Alphas on the right begin murmuring. They weren't aware.

I nod, as if considering my next words. I pull Sophie to my side, smiling down at her. "My mate is pregnant after two weeks of being mated."

"That's a lie!" several Alphas say, shouts and gasps echoing around the room. I can see the impact my words are having on Luna June and Luna Margot, see the anger and frustration in Joshua. I hope I haven't made Margot's life more difficult, but they need to know the impact that this law is having on our she- wolves and the alternative that we could have if the law was changed.

Elias calls for quiet but before he can begin talking again, I jump in.

"How many of you can say that your mate trusts you? How many of your mates seek you out when they need comfort or affection? How many touch you of their own accord? How many give themselves to you freely? My mate does," I growl possessively, looking at her.

"Is this true, Luna Sophie?" Luna June asks.

"Yes ma'am. I trust Alpha Hunter completely without hesitation." She steps up to me, wrapping her arms around me. "I love my mate with everything in me. I trust him. I know that he will never allow anyone or anything to hurt me, or our pup, even if we have a daughter."

"You could just be commanding your mate to say these things." Alpha Elias snarls.

"What sort of Alpha would command his mate? If you can command her, you don't have a true bond. A true Luna is equal to her mate," I say.
