The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 70

Chapter 70: Promises Nikki

When someone else had cried mate, I'd felt fear slither down my spine. All the horrors, all the spectacles of public claimings, came smashing into me. But then....Robin had moved in front of me, his claws extended, ready to fight another Alpha for me, even though his mark isn't on my neck.

As soon as I hear the twins softly cry 'mate', I knew what had happened, even if it took the rest of the room a minute to figure it out.

I put my hand on Robin's back, letting him know that I'm safe, but also enjoying the feeling of his muscles quivering under my touch. He smells like musk and earth, like raw masculinity. Everything about this man screams Alpha to me, even his willingness to let me stand up to him. Nothing says power like a man who isn't afraid to let others show theirs.

I feel his body relax and while I continue to watch Hunter trying to calm Dutton and his wolf, I step up to Robin. "Are you going to go all protective Alpha all night?" I ask softly, helping to diffuse his anger, but also happy to be teasing him again.

"That depends," he says, still watching Dutton intently. "Are you planning to dance with anyone other than me tonight, mate?" He turns and looks at me over his shoulder. His intense gaze sends heat pooling south. My mouth has gone dry so all I can do is shake my head, no.

"Good," he growls softly.

When Sophie suggests that she help the twins and Hunter check on Robin and I, I can see his reticence, but Sophie, being the queen she is, takes control of the situation. I know the twins are worried, but I also know that Sophie won't allow anything to happen to them, letting me focus on my mate.

I look back at Robin. If things between us work out, I hope to be the same kind of Luna that Sophie is, strong and confident.

As Sophie begins to lead the twins and Alpha Dutton from the room, Robin turns to me. "Now, where were we?"

"I believe our wolves were identifying each other as mates," say. I'm feeling shy all of a sudden. What does Robin expect of me now?

"Nikki, are you good?" Alpha Hunter asks, walking over.

"Yes, Alpha. I think we're good."

"Robin, remember my rule," he says.
