The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 67: Plans Hunter

I swear the longer I'm with Sophie, the more I need to touch her, to be with her. It's like I can't get enough, like it will never be enough. She seems to feel the same and I love it.

I was thankful that she didn't seem to mind that the pack was teasing me about her bite marks. I was also thankful that they were smart enough to not tease her about it. I can feel her confidence growing, her willingness to openly show her love and possession of me, but I don't want to rush it.

I'm not surprised but I am disappointed to hear that other packs have and use bite marks as a punishment. It's something I need to remember before I go to any Committee meeting with Sophie. I don't want any of those Alphas to think that I've punished Sophie in some way. My bite marks are purely because I love having my scent and my mark all over her. Well, that, and I can't keep my mouth off of her. After adding some new bite marks to each other, Sophie had been the one to end our fun. "The twins are supposed to be coming down soon. I don't want to scare them off, but..." she had turned and pressed her still half naked body against mine. "I expect you to pick up where we left off later tonight, Alpha."

"What my Luna wants, my Luna gets," I growled, loving how her body shivered in response.

As soon as the twins had emerged, I knew it was going to take

time with them. They have not had it easy. I haven't asked, and I won't for a while, but I'm guessing their pack is one where the ranked she-wolves are locked in until they turn 18, which makes me wonder how they escaped.

I let Sophie take the lead with them, seeing how skittish they are around me. I mind link Kinsley and ask her to join them. The twins are Betas and may feel more comfortable with another Beta, at least until Allison emerges with Kayce.

While Sophie is out, I check my emails, seeing that we have another Committee meeting next week, this one is for Owen. I mind link Dr. Felicity, getting an update on Brooklyn and asking for a medical summary of Brooklyn's injuries and treatment to provide to the Committee members. Owen may be hoping that I' Il support him in this, but he is mistaken.

"Alpha, did our Luna let you know that she has an appointment at nine o'clock tomorrow morning to have your first evaluation of her pregnancy?"

"It must have slipped her mind but thank you for letting me know. We'll be there," I say, excited to find out more about our

pup.

She chuckles. "That's what she said. I'll warn you, it's early, but we should at least be able to hear a heartbeat."

A heartbeat! I thank Dr. Felicity and turn back to my work, trying to focus while still excited about the idea of hearing my son or daughter's heart beating tomorrow.

'We should listen tonight. I might be able to hear it,' Shaw says, as excited as I am.

'Definitely.

While I'm looking over the Committee meeting agenda, I pull up the paperwork to petition the changing of the law that allows she-wolves to be claimed publicly, I begin going through it and marking the changes that I want to see made and penalties for continuing with this practice.

By the time I'm finished with my first draft, my eyes are blurry and I'm missing my mate, so I walk out to find them, seeing Letti and Nikki on the back porch.
