The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 78: Introductions Hunter

I'm so proud of my mate and our friends. I knew Sophie would be an amazing Luna, but having a strong partner at my side is truly making me and our pack stronger. And then, my friends not only listened to me about not claiming their mates publicly, but they went ahead and marked their mates privately, wanting the same kind of relationship that Sophie and I have.

Now, we're back on the road, headed to the Committee of Alphas meeting where Owen will go on trial for what he did to Brooklyn. He's crazy if he thinks that I would ever vote for him to keep his title after he hurt her so terribly, and that doesn't even begin to cover the damage that was done m**ly because he did it so publicly.

It had taken Dutton a long time to calm down. He'd been afraid to go to his mates in the mood he was in, worried that he would scare them, so he and I had sparred for nearly two hours. He needed to hit someone, and he needed a challenge. It could have been any of us, but he was in my pack and Brooklyn is my pack member, so it was me that helped him deflate his anger.

In the end, it was his mates, who were worried about what they were feeling in the bond that helped him the most. They must have gone to Sophie who brought them to us. The moment he saw them, he'd pulled them against him, holding them tightly. They had wrapped their arms around him, concern etched on their faces.

"Come talk to us," Tiffany had said, while Tammi had caressed his face, wiping away his frown lines with her thumbs.

He'd emerged later, smelling strongly of his mates, but looking better, calmer, and ready to fight at the committee meeting.

We'd taken separate cars, with Robin planning to take Nikki back home when they leave. I can tell she's excited and nervous, but she and Robin already have a strong bond and that will show in the committee meeting. Dutton is also riding separately because Sophie and I are staying the night and he wanted to return quickly to get back to his mates.

When we arrive, Sophie and Nikki race over to where Kayce and Allison are waiting for us. We all smile as our mates hug tightly.

"Good thing we already had strong alliances, or we'd be in big trouble," Kayce says, still smiling fondly at his mate.

"I'm pretty sure these women would have written up an alliance document and made us all sign it," Robin says, his eyes shining with his happiness. It's good to see the others looking as happy as I am. Not only will this make their packs stronger, but it will make our alliances stronger, making us a true force to be reckoned with if the others decide to go to war. "Did you save any

save any of that love for me?" Luna Amy asks, walking up to the girls.

"Mom!" Sophie says, hugging her mother and introducing her to the others.

"That's a lot of happiness. Happiness I'm not sure I've ever seen in newly mated Lunas," Alpha Carter says walking up behind us, watching his mate and ours. Chapter 78troductions

"Well, when you're right, you're right, and Hunter was right," Dutton says, slapping me on the back. Sophie's father turns and looks at him, his eyes going wide when he sees the marks that he's proudly displaying.

"The twins?" Alpha Carter asks.

"Yes, they're mine now," Dutton says smugly.
