The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 69: Mates Dutton

I smelled them the moment I got out of the car. Well, I didn't know there were two, I just knew my mate was here. I could smell her - vanilla and citrus. I had completely ignored Penny, who I brought with me to the pack and raced inside, leaving her yelling behind me that she needed help with her bags. I never wanted to hunt my mate down, but that doesn't mean I didn't want her. I do. I desperately want her. Except her, is them. Twins. I'm mated to twins.

When Robin had snarled that my mates were his, Orion, my wolf, had been ready to kill him or anyone else who got in our way. Only he was standing in front of some other female I could care less about. My mates, plural, two, more than one, holy goddess above what did I do to deserve two of the most gorgeous women in the world? My mates were on the other side of the

room.

I took a step toward them, only for someone else to get in my Wa J. I refocus. Hunter.

"Get out of my way, Hunter," Orion and I snarl together.

"You need to get control of your wolf, Dutton," he growls back, Shaw close to the surface.

"We could take Shaw. He's strong, but if he thinks he can keep us from our mates, I will destroy him,' Orion says.

"They are scared, and you will only alienate them or cause them to run from you. They come from a pack that mistreated them. They are under my protection so if you want a chance to get to know them, rein in Orion, now!" Hunter growls in a low voice meant only for me.

When I look back, I can see the women, my mates, clinging to each other, their eyes wide with fear. Now that I'm paying. attention, I can smell their fear intermingled with their divine scent.

I shake my head, grabbing hold of Orion.

"I didn't mean to scare you. When we stepped out of the car, I smelled..." I stop, breathing deeply of their scent. No wonder I was overwhelmed by it. There are two of them, their scent and my pull to them being amplified because they are twins. "I smelled your scents, and my wolf took over. But I have him under control now. I won't hurt you," I tell them gently.

I feel Hunter's body relax, but he doesn't move out of my way.

"May I at least have your names?" I ask.

They turn their heads to look at someone else. I follow their ey's and see Luna Sophie. She looks at me, her wolf at the forefront, sniffing my intentions. Then she looks back at my mates and nods. "I'm Tiffany," the one who smells like vanilla and lemons says.
